Immunological and periodontal benefits of prebiotic polydextrose in rats with induced periodontitis

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Prebiotic therapy is a promising approach for managing periodontitis due to its potential benefits in modulating the microbiome and the immune response. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the prebiotic (PREB) polydextrose (PDX) on the development of experimental periodontitis (EP) in rats.

Body Composition and Muscle Function in Bronchiectasis: A Comparative Longitudinal Study

Respirology, EarlyView.
We compared body composition and muscle function in adults with bronchiectasis versus controls and assessed if leg strength estimates 1‐year outcomes. Patients with bronchiectasis had lower muscle mass, bone density, and leg strength. Reduced leg strength is associated with worse dyspnoea, quality of life, and functional capacity, highlighting the need

Exploratory XPS Evidence for Ca–N Environments at the Organic–Mineral Interface in Bone

Surface and Interface Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bone derives its remarkable mechanical properties from the nanoscale relationship between its organic matrix and mineral components. While interfacial interactions are known to affect bone mechanics, direct evidence of chemical bonding at this interface has been lacking.

Quantification of steroid hormones in free‐ranging Apennine wolf Canis lupus italicus hair samples collected post‐mortem

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
After decades of dramatic reductions in their populations, Italian wolves have begun recolonizing parts of their historic range. This growth in populations can lead to potential conflicts with human activities, which remain the main cause of wolf mortality.

Bariatric Surgery Prior to Hip and Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Postoperative Outcomes

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Obesity is a major risk factor for perioperative complications following total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Bariatric surgery has been proposed to reduce these risks, but previous studies report inconsistent findings. The effect of bariatric surgery before arthroplasty remains uncertain.
