Article Abstract

Background: Injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) is prepared without anticoagulants having improved features such as increased fibroblast migration, proliferation, and tissue angiogenesis acceleration. When administered to titanium implants, i-PRF clings to the metal surface, generating a protein coating that impacts cellular activity required for osseointegration which aids in optimum and rapid osseointegration. The present study compared and evaluated the osteogenic properties of i-PRF in dental implant sites to determine the positive impact of i-PRF on osseointegration.

Methods: A split-mouth clinical study design was used, involving ten participants with twenty sites of bilaterally missing mandibular molars. The subjects were divided into two equal treatment groups (N = 10): control group, where dental implants were placed without i-PRF activation, and test group, where i-PRF-activated dental implants were placed.

Results: Both groups showed similar trends in plaque index and sulcular bleeding index. However, the test group exhibited significantly higher Implant Stability Quotient scores, indicating better stability. Peri-implant probing depth showed no significant difference between groups, but the test group had lower increase in probing depth. In addition, the test group showed superior wound healing and lower crestal bone loss changes compared to the control group.

Conclusions: The findings of this study contributed to understand the effectiveness of i-PRF in enhancing osseointegration in dental implants, potentially improving clinical outcomes in implant dentistry.

Associations between element mixtures and biomarkers of pathophysiologic pathways related to autism spectrum disorder.

J Trace Elem Med Biol

September 2025

Department of Neurology, Children's Hospital of Fudan University, National Children's Medical Center, Shanghai, China. Electronic address:

Objective: We previously documented that exposure to a spectrum of elements is associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, there is a lack of mechanistic understanding as to how elemental mixtures contribute to the ASD development.

Materials And Methods: Serum and urinary concentrations of 26 elements and six biomarkers of ASD-relevant pathophysiologic pathways including serum HIPK 2, serum p53 protein, urine malondialdehyde (MDA), urine 8-OHdG, serum melatonin, and urine carnitine, were measured in 21 ASD cases and 21 age-matched healthy controls of children aged 6-12 years.

Implementing Social Media Strategies in Community-Partnered HIV Research: Practical Considerations From 3 Ongoing Studies.

JMIR Public Health Surveill

September 2025

Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, United States.

Background: In recent years, social media has emerged as a pivotal tool in implementation science efforts to address the HIV epidemic. Engaging community partners is essential to ensure the successful and equitable implementation of social media strategies. There is a notable lack of scholarship addressing the operational considerations for studies using social media strategies in community-partnered HIV research.

Objective: It is important to raise awareness of the nutritional problems that can be overlooked during the follow-up visits with children who suffer from neuromuscular diseases, as these dietary differences may lead to additional neurological and systemic problems and impair the quality of life of the patient. The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional status of children with neuromuscular disorders and to prevent possible complications by recognizing possible nutritional problems in advance.

Methods: Patients who applied to the outpatient clinic at Cukurova University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Pediatric Neurology beginning in April 2022 with a neuromuscular disorder diagnosis were followed up with and were included in the study.

Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a systemic illness with increasingly subtle disease manifestations including sleep disruption. Patients with PH are at increased risk for disturbances in circadian biology, although to date there is no data on "morningness" or "eveningness" in pulmonary vascular disease.

Research Questions: Our group studied circadian rhythms in PH patients based upon chronotype analysis, to explore whether there is a link between circadian parameters and physiologic risk-stratifying factors to inform novel treatment strategies in patients with PH?

Study Design And Methods: We serially recruited participants from July 2022 to March 2024, administering in clinic the Munich Chronotype Questionnaire (MCTQ).

Objectives: This study explores the relationship between inhaler visual identification, naming, and adherence outcomes, and evaluates the potential of combining these factors into a screening tool for identifying poor adherence.

Methods: This observational, prospective study included adult patients with COPD, asthma, or asthma+COPD who had been on chronic inhalation therapy for at least the past year. Data were collected through patient interviews and medical records.
