Efficacy of Different Fluoride Therapies on Hypersensitive Carious Lesions in Primary Teeth
Conclusions: Ultimately, with both fluoride therapies reducing hypersensitivity/pain significantly, treatment with 38% SDF+KI was clearly more effective in caries arrest than 5% NaF varnish after a 3-month period.PMID:38004091 | PMC:PMC10672976 | DOI:10.3390/medicina59112042 (Source: Medicina (Kaunas))

Long term stability of lactate in uncentrifuged sodium fluoride/potassium oxalate blood collection tubes
CONCLUSION: A small proportion of lactate specimens may experience significant delay in processing. Although lactate levels may incrementally increase over 48-hours at room temperature in unspun NaF/KOx collection tubes, the changes may not be clinically impactful.PMID:37903217 | DOI:10.1177/00045632231213746 (Source: Clinical Biochemistry)

Bilateral Carotid Artery Molecular Calcification Assessed by [ < sup > 18 < /sup > F] Fluoride PET/CT: Correlation with Cardiovascular and Thromboembolic Risk Factors
This study utilized positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with [18F] sodium fluoride (NaF) as a tracer to visualize active calcification and inflammation at the molecular level. Our aim was to investigate the association between cardiovascular risk factors and [18F] NaF uptake in the left and right common carotid arteries (LCC and RCC). A cohort of 102 subjects, comprising both at-risk individuals and healthy controls, underwent [18F] NaF PET/CT imaging. The results revealed significant correlations between [18F] NaF uptake and cardiovascular risk factors such as age (β = 0.005, 95% CI 0.003-0.008, p &...

Effects of a stabilized stannous fluoride dentifrice on clinical, immunomodulatory, and microbial outcomes in a human experimental gingivitis model
CONCLUSION: The stannous fluoride stabilized with zinc phosphate dentifrice formulation demonstrated clinical reduction in gingival inflammation and a beneficial effect on microbiome and immune markers. This intervention should be explored as a preventive aid in the progression of plaque-induced gingivitis to periodontitis.PMID:37885337 | DOI:10.1002/JPER.22-0710 (Source: Cancer Control)

Could imaging microcalcification activity improve abdominal aortic aneurysm risk stratification after intervention?
Calcification is a common feature of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), but its role in the pathogenesis of the disease remains incompletely understood. While heavy arterial macrocalcification is thought be a marker of disease stability, earlier stages in osteogenic remodelling of AAAs marked by microcalcification represent active disease associated with a healing response to inflammation and carry a greater risk of aneurysm expansion. Whether tracking changes in calcification using 18F-sodium fluoride (NaF) positron emission tomography (PET) after therapeutic intervention can improve risk stratification in AAA is the though...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAcanthamoeba castellanii is a free-living amoeba and an opportunistic pathogen for humans that can cause encephalitis and, more commonly, Acanthamoeba keratitis. During its life cycle, A. castellanii may present as proliferative and infective trophozoites or resistant cysts. The adhesion of trophozoites to host cells is a key first step in the pathogenesis of infection. A major virulence protein of Acanthamoeba is a mannose-binding protein (MBP) that mediates the adhesion of amoebae to cell surfaces. Ectophosphatases are ...
