The Relationship Between Occlusal Tactile Acuity, Bite Force and Tooth Wear
This explorative study evaluated the relationships between occlusal tactile acuity, bite force and tooth wear in a clinical patient cohort. The main finding of a significant association between bite force and tooth wear, also after adjustment for age, reinforces the clinical relevance of assessing bite force in patient populations.

Post-hatching development of the remote-tactile bill-tip organ in precocial shorebirds (Scolopacidae). [PDF]
Juvenile scolopacid shorebirds possess well‐developed osteological correlates of tactile bill‐tip organs, indicating sensory systems for remote‐touch foraging are present from early life. Ontogenetic changes in bill‐tip morphology suggest ecological specialisation and interspecific variation develop later, after fledging in these highly precocial ...

Natural‐inspired nano‐textured implant surfaces can be functionalised to modulate macrophage polarisation and local immune responses. This bioactive control promotes improved tissue integration and healing outcomes. ABSTRACT Dental implants rely on a stable and functional interface between the implant surface, surrounding tissues, and the oral ...

Innovations in Obesity Treatment: Beyond Adipose Tissue Dysfunction
Obesity drives chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cancer development through adipocyte dysfunction. Addressing this multisystemic disorder requires integrated strategies beyond diet and exercise, such as thermogenesis activation via menthol or capsinoids and appetite control through GLP‐1/GIP agonists and neuromodulation to ...

Antipsychotics‐Induced Hyposalivation Mediated by Impaired Salivary Ca2+ Signaling
ABSTRACT Objectives Antipsychotic‐induced salivary dysfunction such as hyposalivation is a prevalent clinical challenge that severely compromises oral health and quality of life. Although typical and atypical antipsychotics have their therapeutic target in the central nervous system, their direct molecular mechanisms within the salivary glands remain ...

ABSTRACT Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are now standard of care for most advanced solid tumors. While effective, they are associated with immune‐related adverse events (irAEs), including rare autonomic complications. We present a patient with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma receiving nivolumab and ipilimumab who developed reflex syncope with ...
