The recurrence risk evaluation has been emphasized in periodontal stabilization during supportive periodontal therapy (SPT). However, nutritional factors, e.g., dietary habits such as the frequency of eating vegetables, are rarely included in the evaluation. In this study, the effect of nutritional factors on clinical periodontal parameters was examined in a lifestyle-related investigation and a periodontal examination in patients with periodontitis undergoing SPT. A total of 106 patients were recruited. Tendencies toward a negative correlation were found between rate of a probing depth (PD) of 4-5 mm, rate of PD ≥ 6 mm, the bleeding on probing (BOP) rate, periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA), and various nutritional factors. The number of teeth was a clinical parameter with a significantly high R2 (≥0.10) influenced by environmental factors, whereas PD, PD of 4-5 mm, the BOP rate, and PISA were influenced by nutritional factors. These results suggested that environmental factors reflected clinical parameters showing long-term pathophysiology, such as the PD rate. Nutritional factors tended to affect the current inflammatory pathophysiology, such as the BOP rate, PISA, and PISA/periodontal epithelial surface area. Therefore, environmental and nutritional factors appear to be useful for evaluating the risk of periodontitis during SPT.

Purpose Of Review: This review aims to characterize the known cardiovascular (CV) manifestations associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and the underlying mechanisms driving these associations.
Recent Findings: Gut dysbiosis, a hallmark of patients with IBD, can result in both local and systemic inflammation, thereby potentially increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the IBD population. Micronutrient deficiencies, anemia, and sarcopenia independently increase the risk of CVD and are frequent comorbidities of patients with IBD.

Background And Aims: Fulminant myocarditis (FM) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by acute myocardial inflammation and cardiogenic shock. Evidence on long-term outcomes, mortality risk factors, and targeted treatment options remains limited.
Methods: This retrospective analysis included consecutive adult patients admitted for FM between January 2012 and November 2022 at 26 European tertiary centres.

Glucagon dysregulation is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), yet its early hepatic effects remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that glucagon-induced gluconeogenesis is markedly enhanced in primary hepatocytes from prediabetic Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats, a well-established model of human T2DM. Compared to control LETO rats, OLETF hepatocytes showed significantly higher glucagon-stimulated expression of gluconeogenic genes (Pepck, G6pase, Fbp1) at both mRNA and protein levels, along with elevated glucose production.

Bone stress injury is a common musculoskeletal condition presenting with insidious bony pain that is progressive and occurs with a number of intrinsic or extrinsic risk factors, particularly with a recent change in training. When elicited, the presence of bony tenderness remains the most important component of the physical exam, although reproduction at deeper sites is a challenge and requires a high index of suspicion and imaging for diagnosis. MRI should be utilized as the gold standard for diagnosis, grading, and return-to-sport timing prognosis when available, with plain radiographs used as first-line imaging.

Prcis: Analysis of 1,175 Korean adults in the 2019 KNHANES study found that sensitization to house dust mites and birch pollen significantly increased glaucoma risk, while oak pollen sensitization showed a protective effect.
Background: The relationship between allergen sensitization and glaucoma remains poorly understood. This study investigated the association between specific allergen sensitization patterns and glaucoma risk using data from the 2019 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
