ABSTRACT Background/Purpose Prognostic significance of preoperative patient‐related factors, including oral health status, in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains unclear. We evaluated the association between preoperative factors—particularly oral health parameters—and long‐term survival after curative PDAC resection.

Characterization of Pulmonary Functional Abnormalities in Systemic Sclerosis Using Xenon MRI
ABSTRACT Background Xenon MRI is increasingly used to evaluate patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH), both of which are common manifestations of systemic sclerosis (SSc). As such, Xe‐MRI may be suited to interrogate lung function impairment in SSc.

This study examined how well radiographers in five major Namibian state hospitals understand and use Personal Radiation Monitoring Devices (PRMD), a critical tool for occupational safety. While most respondents showed strong knowledge and awareness of PRMDs, many were unaware of their own radiation exposure and rarely reviewed their dose records ...

The effect of non‐surgical periodontal treatment on progranulin levels
Abstract Background The aim of this study was to study the effect of non‐surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) on gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum progranulin (PGRN) levels in the early healing phases. Methods The study included periodontitis (test) (n = 24) and periodontal health (control) (n = 24) groups.

Abstract Background Peri‐implantitis is a destructive disease affecting the tissues surrounding dental implants. Biomaterials may be applied during surgical treatment to reconstruct bony defects and support soft tissue healing. However, current evidence is unclear if these treatments increase the likelihood of peri‐implantitis resolution.

Abstract Background Evidence on the 16S metabarcoding of supragingival, subgingival, and salivary microbiomes in periodontal health remains limited. We aimed to analyze the diversity and potential of machine‐learning models of supragingival, subgingival, and salivary microbiomes in periodontal health. Methods A total of 848 samples (supragingival = 210;
