Chemical etching of Ti-6Al-4V biomaterials fabricated by selective laser melting enhances mesenchymal stromal cell mineralization
In this study, we explored the response of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) to Ti-6Al-4V whose surface was exposed to different durations of chemical etching. Cell morphology was influenced by local topological features inherited from the SLM fabrication process. On the as-built surface, topological nonhomogeneities such as partially adhered powder drove a stretched anisotropic cellular morphology, with large areas of the cell suspended across the nonhomogeneous powder interface. As the etching process was continued, surface defects were gradually removed, and cell morphology appeared more isotropi...

Management of ectopic pregnancy after in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer: a case series and mini-review
DISCUSSION: Ectopic pregnancy after embryo transfer, mainly involving the fallopian tube, is very complex and is with diverse manifestations. Even with the pregnancy sac observed in the uterus, the pelvic cavity should be scanned thoroughly after embryo transfer.PMID:38515631 | PMC:PMC10953842 | DOI:10.2478/abm-2024-0004 (Source: Biomed Res)

Reliability of lateral wall-thickness measurement in trochanteric fractures and parameters associated with lateral wall integrity
CONCLUSION: Some of the parameters related to trochanteric fractures are associated with lateral wall incompetence. Lateral wall-thickness measurement is a reproducible method, which has been suggested for use by the AO/OTA 2018 classification. It is easy to use and can help select the appropriate treatment for intertrochanteric fracture patients.PMID:38515632 | PMC:PMC10954081 | DOI:10.2478/abm-2024-0005 (Source: Biomed Res)

Plant-based diets in patients with chronic kidney disease
Asian Biomed (Res Rev News). 2024 Mar 20;18(1):2-10. doi: 10.2478/abm-2024-0002. eCollection 2024 Feb.ABSTRACTDietary protein restriction has been considered to be a nutritional-related strategy to reduce risk for end-stage kidney disease among patients with non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, there is insufficient evidence to recommend a particular type of protein to slow down the CKD progression. Recently, various plant-based diets could demonstrate some additional benefits such as a blood pressure-lowering effect, a reduction of metabolic acidosis as well as hyperphosphatemia, and gut-derived u...

Cutaneous metastasis in hypopharyngeal carcinoma: a case report
CONCLUSION: Being uncommon, the occurrence of cutaneous lesions in a patient with hypopharyngeal carcinoma should prompt detailed evaluation to rule out metastasis. Early detection will help in improving disease prognosis and median survival.PMID:38515634 | PMC:PMC10953843 | DOI:10.2478/abm-2024-0006 (Source: Biomed Res)

Nonsurgical Treatment of Periodontitis in Menopausal Patients: A Randomized Control Trial
CONCLUSIONS: Menopausal women with periodontitis who take omega-3 fatty acid supplements in addition to SRP have better oral health. Significant improvements in clinical indicators and a notable decrease in AST levels within the GCF were observed. However, further research with larger cohorts and extended duration is needed to validate these findings and explain potential mechanisms. This trial is registered with NCT06254118.PMID:38510979 | PMC:PMC10954359 | DOI:10.1155/2024/6997142 (Source: Biomed Res)

Subcortical-cortical white matter connectivity in adults with autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia patients
In this study, we examined white-matter connectivity between these structures in adults with ASD and SZ patients compared with their respective neurotypical controls and indirectly with each other, using probabilistic and local DTI tractography. This exploratory study utilized publicly available neuroimaging databases, of adults with ASD (ABIDE II; n = 28) and SZ (COBRE; n = 38), age-gender matched neurotypicals (NT) and associated phenotypic data. Tractography was performed using Freesurfer and MRtrix software, and diffusion metrics of white-matter tracts between cingulate-, orbitofrontal- cortices, subcortical structures...
