Why Homoscleromorph Sponges Have Ciliated Epithelia: Evidence for an Ancestral Role in Mucociliary Driven Particle Flux

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Epithelia are typically ciliated, except in sponges. Of all Porifera only Homoscleromorphs have motile cilia on their epithelia. Our data highlight the presence of cilia and mucociliary particle transport as a common feature of metazoa and a secondary loss in other sponge lineages.

Laser Disinfection Acts as Biofilm‐Disrupter in Periprosthetic Joint Infection (PJI)

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Infections after joint arthroplasties represent a devastating and progressively escalating complication with increased morbidity and mortality. The eradication of biofilms from infected implants is still an unsolved challenge. The erbium‐doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser, which delivers high‐energy light for rapid tissue ablation ...

Association between nutrition risk and oral mucosal membrane pressure injury in critically ill adults requiring endotracheal tube placement: A prospective cohort study

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Oral mucosal membrane pressure injuries are common yet underrecognized complications in critically ill patients with endotracheal tubes. This study investigated the association between nutrition risk and oral mucosal membrane pressure injuries.

Prognostic utility of oral neutrophil counts in high‐risk periodontitis: A retrospective study

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Oral polymorphonuclear neutrophil (oPMN) levels are potential biomarkers for differentiating between stages and grades of periodontitis. We compared the diagnostic utility of oPMN levels with bleeding on probing percentage (BOP%) and microbial load in high‐risk patients with periodontitis.

Multi‐cohort evaluation of “Don't know” responders to self‐report oral health questions: Implications for etiologic research

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Self‐reported data can extend the reach of oral health research, but “Don't know” responses may threaten validity. We explored characteristics of participants who responded “Don't know” to a periodontal health question across three distinct cohorts.
