Inflation ’s Cure Is Society’s Killer
Imagine visiting a doctor who diagnoses you with osteoporosis and prescribes calcium supplements. Months later, you visit a cardiologist who detects calcification in your arteries and advises you to stop taking calcium. It is a sadly common scenario in which siloed experts, failing to consider a…#fab #globalnorth #frenchrevolution #bankofcanada #usfederalreserve (Source: Reuters: Health)

Where do deep-sea creatures live? Where they won ’t dissolve
Vast muddy seabeds cover more than 60% of the planet, collectively making them Earth’s largest habitat. At first glance, these frigid, sunless depths all seem more or less the same. Yet the animals that live there, kilometers below the surface, prefer some regions over others, according to a new study. What accounts for their preferences? It’s nothing they can see or sense, the authors say, but an invisible and life-threatening limit imposed by seawater chemistry. This limit demarcates where an important component of many kinds of marine life, calcium carbonate, naturally dissolves. Researchers have long known th...

How Are Keloids Treated?
Discussion Wound healing is a complex process and abnormalities are common. Hypertrophic or keloid scarring are the two types of excessive scarring with both having excessive scar tissue that is elevated above the normal skin. Hypertrophic scarring occurs usually only within the wound and can regress. They are common after burns and develop within 3 months of skin injury. Keloid scarring spreads beyond the original wound and does not regress, and often recur. They can occur even 1 year after injury. Keloids have an incidence of 5-15%. “Compared to normal fibroblasts, keloidal fibroblasts have longer lives, higher pro...

Comparison of therapies of white spot lesions: a systematic review and network meta-analysis
ConclusionsThe available evidence suggests that resin infiltration and P11-4 in combination with fluoride varnish had advantages over gold standard (FV). The effect of tricalcium phosphate-based drugs and fluoride is not very noticeable. Overall, drugs based on P11-4 and resin infiltration will be better therapies. Using more than two drugs in combination also would increase efficacy.  (Source: Dental Technology Blog)

Determining primary stability for adhesively stabilized dental implants
ConclusionThe adhesive cement show potential for offering primary implant stability for different dental implant designs. In this study, the primary parameters influencing the measured removal torque values were the implant surface area and diameter. As the liquid cement prevents the use of insertion torque, considering the relationship between insertion and removal torque, removal torque can be considered a reliable surrogate for primary implant stability for bench and pre-clinical settings.Clinical relevanceAt present, the primary stability of dental implants is linked to the quality of the host bone, the drill ...
