Anti-Inflammatory, Antioxidant, and Reparative Effects of Leaf Derivatives on Periodontium In Vitro.

Gingival inflammation compromises the integrity of the gingival epithelium and the underlying tissues, highlighting the need for adjuvant therapies with immunomodulatory and healing properties. , a medicinal plant known as guaçatonga, is traditionally used to treat inflammatory lesions. This study aimed to investigate the effects of on the synthesis of pro- and anti-inflammatory, proteolytic, and antioxidant molecules and on wound healing in epithelial cells.

The Photometric Testing of High-Resolution Digital Cameras from Smartphones-A Pilot Study.

Luminance is the fundamental photometric quantity representing the technical meaning of brightness. It is usually measured from a distance using a matrix sensor, which is the basis of the professional instrument. However, specific technical requirements must be fulfilled to achieve accurate results.

The Benefits of Increased Space and Habitat Complexity for the Welfare of Zoo-Housed King Penguins ().

Zoos and aquariums accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums embrace animal welfare as a foundational principle of habitat design. Modern habitats are designed to provide animals with choices and agency over their environment, and to encourage species-appropriate behavior and space use. In 2016, the Detroit Zoological Society opened the Polk Penguin Conservation Center, a 3065.

Exploring Human Milk, Nutrition, Growth, and Breastfeeding Rates at Discharge(HUMMINGBIRD Study): a protocol for a pilot randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Mother's own breast milk (MOM) is the optimal nutrition for preterm infants as it reduces the incidence of key neonatal morbidities and improves long-term outcomes. However, MOM shortfall is common and either preterm formula or pasteurised donor human milk (DHM) may be used, although practice varies widely. Limited data suggest that the use of DHM may impact maternal beliefs and behaviours and therefore breastfeeding rates.
