Extracting vitalities: Cuts in Indigenous women's bodies‐territories (Brazil)

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, I explore the connections between the medicalization of childbirth and environmental devastation through Guarani‐Mbyá understandings of life and the living. I argue that the cuts made to Guarani‐Mbyá women's vaginas (episiotomies) in Brazilian hospitals are experienced and situated on the same cosmopolitical level as the cuts ...

Development and Internal Evaluation of a Biomarker‐Based Model for Preoperative Diagnosis of Infectious Nonunion

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
We developed and validated a biomarker‐based model (PCT, IL‐6, CRP, ESR) that accurately distinguishes infectious from aseptic nonunion in long bone fractures, enabling superior preoperative diagnosis and informed surgical decision‐making. ABSTRACT Objective Preoperative identification of infectious nonunion remains challenging, particularly in ...

A Global Perspective on Trends in the Use of Withdrawal and Periodic Abstinence for Pregnancy Prevention

Population and Development Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Periodic abstinence and withdrawal (the dominant methods in the “traditional methods” category) have been used to prevent pregnancy in both historical and contemporary contexts and, in some countries, continue to be used despite increased availability and use of modern methods. Yet research on family planning programs and contraceptive methods

Investigation of 222‐nm ultraviolet C irradiation bactericidal effect on the surgical field in a rabbit model

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
In a rabbit surgical field model seeded with polymicrobial flora, a single dose of 222‐nm UV‐C (500 mJ/cm2) markedly reduced bacterial colonies, achieving a bactericidal effect comparable to 254‐nm UV‐C (200 mJ/cm2), while no UV‐C irradiation showed heavy growth. Wound healing did not differ among groups. Microbiota profiling detected SSI‐relevant taxa

Root surface biomodification in periodontal therapy: Biological rationale and clinical applications

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Regenerative periodontal therapy aims to form new cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone, all sealed by gingival tissue. The root surface acts as the wound margin during this regeneration process. Root surface biomodification (root conditioning/root decontamination), therefore, seems instrumental in promoting surface decontamination

The oral microbiota and periodontal health in orthodontic patients

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract The oral microbiota develops within the first 2 years of childhood and becomes distinct from the parents by 4 years‐of‐age. The oral microbiota plays an important role in the overall health/symbiosis of the individual. Deviations from the state of symbiosis leads to dysbiosis and an increased risk of pathogenicity.
