Human Papillomavirus Is Rare and Does Not Correlate with p16 < sup > INK4A < /sup > Expression in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer in a Jordanian Subpopulation
Conclusions: This is the first study to assess HPV and p16INK4a expression in a Jordanian population. HPV positivity is rare in NSCLC among a Jordanian subpopulation. P16 INK4a reliability as a surrogate marker for HPV infection in lung cancer must be revisited.PMID:38674306 | PMC:PMC11052093 | DOI:10.3390/medicina60040660 (Source: Medicina (Kaunas))

The Effect of Recruitment Maneuver on Static Lung Compliance in Patients Undergoing General Anesthesia for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Single-Centre Prospective Clinical Intervention Study
Conclusions: During laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the application of RM leads to a significant increase in Cstat and an improvement in gas exchange. The prevention of atelectasis during anesthesia should be initiated immediately after the induction of anesthesia, using protective mechanical ventilation and RM.PMID:38674312 | PMC:PMC11052059 | DOI:10.3390/medicina60040666 (Source: Medicina (Kaunas))

Postoperative Morbidity after Dental Treatment under General Anesthesia in Children with and without Disabilities
Conclusions: CD more frequently reported complications like oral bleeding, fever, and diarrhea. In contrast, the CTL group more often reported pain-related symptoms. The conclusion underscores the need for a pain control protocol for CD and emphasizes the importance of frequent monitoring to prevent unwanted consequences during tooth restoration under general anesthesia.PMID:38674314 | PMC:PMC11051803 | DOI:10.3390/medicina60040668 (Source: Medicina (Kaunas))

Exosomes and Signaling Nanovesicles from the Nanofiltration of Preconditioned Adipose Tissue with Skin-B < sup > ® < /sup > in Tissue Regeneration and Antiaging: A Clinical Study and Case Report
Conclusions: This retrospective clinical evaluation study allowed us to consider the results obtained with this method for the treatment of dermal wrinkles and facial tissue furrows as excellent. The method is safe and an innovative regenerative therapy as a powerful and viable alternative to skin regeneration therapies, antiaging therapies, and chronic inflammatory diseases because it lacks the inflammatory component produced by cellular debris and fibrous sprouts and because it can exclude the mesenchymal cellular component by reducing multiple inflammatory cytokine levels.PMID:38674316 | PMC:PMC11051917 | DOI:10.3390/me...

Microbiota Transplantation as an Adjunct to Standard Periodontal Treatment in Periodontal Disease: A Systematic Review
Medicina (Kaunas). 2024 Apr 21;60(4):672. doi: 10.3390/medicina60040672.ABSTRACTPeriodontitis is a disease linked to severe dysbiosis of the subgingival microbiome. The treatment of periodontitis aims to change the dysbiosis environment to a symbiosis environment. We hypothesized that oral microbiota transplantation can lead to a significant improvement in periodontitis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of microbiota transplantation after standard periodontal treatment in periodontitis patients. The search strategy was carried out by using the Boolean term "AND" to combine the keywords, w...

National Trends in the Incidence of Sporadic Malignant Colorectal Polyps in Young Patients (20-49 Years): An 18-Year SEER Database Analysis
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that almost half of the SMPs under 50 years occurred in individuals under age 45, younger than the current screening threshold recommended by the ACP. There has been an upward trend in malignant polyps in the last two decades. This reflects changes in tumor biology, and necessitates further research and support in the USPSTF guidelines to start screening at the age of 45 years.PMID:38674319 | PMC:PMC11052004 | DOI:10.3390/medicina60040673 (Source: Medicina (Kaunas))
