Can Oral Swabs Be Used to Diagnose Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Cervicofacial Lymphadenitis?

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective We investigated the presence of mycobacteria in the oral cavity and oropharynx of children with nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) cervicofacial lymphadenitis compared to negative controls. Our aim was to evaluate whether oral cavity and oropharyngeal swab sampling could serve as a minimally invasive alternative to diagnostic ...

Development of Electroconductive Polypyrrole‐Polycaprolactone and Poly(3,4‐Ethylenedioxythiophene)‐poly(Styrenesulfonate)‐Polyethylene Oxide Fibrous Scaffolds by Pressurised Gyration for Cardiac Tissue Engineering Applications

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study pioneers the fabrication of electroconductive cardiac scaffolds using pressurised gyration with the conductive polymers PPy and PEDOT:PSS. The resulting scaffolds exhibit optimal electroconductive and physicochemical properties, closely matching those of native cardiac tissue.

Quantitative susceptibility mapping of the human carotid artery: Assessing sensitivity to elastin and collagen ex vivo

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The aim is to establish the relationship between carotid susceptibility and microstructural components in diseased carotid arteries. Methods Excised cadaveric carotid arteries (n = 5) were scanned using high‐resolution QSM at 7 Tesla. After ex vivo imaging, all samples were brought to histology and stained for elastin, collagen, cells,

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 ...

Melatonin stabilizes atherosclerotic plaques: an association that should be clinically exploited

Frontiers in Medicine
Atherosclerosis is the underlying factor in the premature death of millions of humans annually. The cause of death is often a result of the rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque followed by the discharge of the associated molecular debris into the vessel ...
