Four-Year Pulp Survival in a Randomized Trial on Direct Pulp Capping
ConclusionsThe
low 4-year success rates reported here challenge the concept of direct
pulp capping in the cases that were included. NaOCl lavage did not only
increase the survival of affected pulps substantially, but particularly
diminished painful failures (33% in the NaOCl group versus 62% in the
saline group). The lack of predictive value of MMP-9 assessments beyond
early treatment failures points to inflammatory states of the pulp
tissue under deep caries, which are not related to neutrophil
infiltration. (Source: Dental Technology Blog)

Is salt really a new culprit in type 2 diabetes?
There is some evidence that increasing salt intake, as measured by sodium in urine may be linked to increased levels of the stress hormone cortisol. This has been linked to increased blood pressure and the reduced effectiveness of the hormone insulin. Insulin normally controls blood glucose levels and is a key part of how type 2 diabetes develops. However, evidence for this mechanism has only been shown in rats. (Source: The Economic Times)

Don ’t Fall for the Marketing. ‘Toddler Milk’ Is Not Good for Your Child
All parents want the best for their children, so they could be forgiven for thinking that infant nutrition brands prioritize the same. But then there’s toddler formula.
Toddler formulas, or toddler milks, are beverages often sold in the same product lines as infant formulas, framed as a sort of natural nutritional continuation for the 9-to-12-month-old being weaned off traditional infant formula or breast milk. Unlike infant formulas, however, toddler milk is unregulated in the U.S., and as a result is not required to meet the same nutritional standards. For years, it’s been an open secret among pediat...
