Outcomes of periodontal therapy: Strengthening the relevance of research to patients. A co‐created review

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Periodontitis is a long‐term condition affecting up to half of the population globally and causing significant impacts on life quality. Successful management depends on taking life‐long ownership of the condition by those affected. There is a wealth of research to inform on management options. However, most of the research has been designed by

Clinical periodontal diagnosis

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Periodontal diseases include pathological conditions elicited by the presence of bacterial biofilms leading to a host response. In the diagnostic process, clinical signs such as bleeding on probing, development of periodontal pockets and gingival recessions, furcation involvement and presence of radiographic bone loss should be assessed prior ...

Priming magnitude and retention in highly trained male volleyball players are unaffected by exercise type, muscle temperature, or viscoelasticity

BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation
Background This study investigated delayed effects (6 h and 30 h) of a maximal isometric conditioning activity (ICA) versus a volleyball-specific warm-up (CON) on countermovement jump (CMJ) performance, viscoelastic properties (VP) of the rectus femoris (

A Decoy‐Receptor‐Armed Biomimetic Nanotherapeutic With Inherent Tropism for Conserved Pathogenic Macrophages for Treating Osteoarthritis and Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A biomimetic doppelgänger nanosystem neutralizes extracellular inflammatory cytokines and silences intracellular pyroptosis, reprogramming pathogenic macrophages to attenuate both joint and spine degeneration. ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) and intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) are debilitating musculoskeletal disorders driven by shared ...

Rationale, design and methods of the Study of Work and Pain (SWAP): a cluster randomised controlled trial testing the addition of a vocational advice service to best current primary care for patients with musculoskeletal pain (ISRCTN 52269669) [PDF]

, 2014
Background Musculoskeletal pain is a major contributor to short and long term work absence. Patients seek care from their general practitioner (GP) and yet GPs often feel ill-equipped to deal with work issues.

Matrix Stiffness Orchestrates Mesenchymal Stem Cell Lineage Commitment Toward Osteogenesis and Adipogenesis Through the PIEZO1/SP1/STC2 Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Matrix stiffness directs mesenchymal stem cell lineage commitment through PIEZO1‐dependent activation of the SP1/STC2 pathway. Stiff matrices favor osteogenesis and suppress adipogenesis, whereas the loss of PIEZO1 function impairs early bone formation. STC2 retains lineage‐regulatory activity even when PIEZO1 is inactive.
