A novel small animal ovariohysterectomy training model improves veterinary students' surgical times

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a novel, low‐cost ovariohysterectomy (OVH) training model on surgical times recorded for final‐year veterinary students performing live canine and feline OVH. The training model provides focused practice on a segment of the OVH procedure that is typically challenging for students: the exteriorisation ...

Oral Health, Periodontitis, and Respiratory Diseases: Biological Pathways

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive update on the potential mechanisms by which poor oral health and periodontitis impact lung health, focusing on pneumonia, COPD, and asthma. ABSTRACT Poor oral hygiene and periodontitis influence lung diseases such as pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), COVID‐19, and asthma.

Acyclic Hydrocarbon α,ω‐Dienes: From Biomass and Plastic Upcycling to Carbocycles, Precision Polymers, and Cross‐Linked Elastomers

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 14, 29 July 2026.
Hydrocarbon α,ω‐dienes are mainly produced from steam‐cracking derivatives, but high costs, complexity, and environmental impact limit their use. This review highlights sustainable paths from biomass and plastic upcycling, and surveys catalytic transformations into carbocycles and specialty polymers, emphasizing their role as modular building blocks ...

The HubBLe trial: haemorrhoidal artery ligation (HAL) versus rubber band ligation (RBL) for haemorrhoids

BMC Gastroenterology, 2012
Background Haemorrhoids (piles) are a very common condition seen in surgical clinics. After exclusion of more sinister causes of haemorrhoidal symptoms (rectal bleeding, perianal irritation and prolapse), the best option for treatment depends upon ...

Management of internal haemorrhoids by rubber-band ligation

Journal of British Surgery, 1971
Abstract Rubber-band ligation has been used in the treatment of 156 patients with internal haemorrhoids. The treatment was performed without anaesthesia in an out-patient clinic. Only one pile was ligated at each visit and 77 per cent of the patients required either two or three ligations.

H2‐dependent modulation of tetrahydromethanopterin S‐methyltransferase (Mtr complex) activity by the small protein MtrR in Methanosarcina mazei

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 14, Page 4397-4410, July 2026.
Small protein MtrR is a regulator of the Mtr methyltransferase complex in Methanosarcina mazei. It binds specifically to the MtrA subunit and modulates Mtr activity in response to hydrogen (H2) availability. Deleting mtrR impairs growth in the presence but not absence of H2, indicating its role in directing methyl transfer toward an energy‐conserving ...
