Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.Abstract Background This study investigated the cross‐sectional association between periodontal status and left ventricular (LV) geometry and function, an early and prognostically relevant marker of cardiovascular disease. Methods Data were drawn from two population‐based cohorts in the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP): SHIP‐START‐2 (N = 2333) and ...

Non‐linear association between tooth loss and cardiovascular diseases among middle‐aged adults
Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.Abstract Background Although positive associations between fewer remaining teeth and an increased risk of various systemic diseases have been reported, the precise dose‐response relationship has not been fully clarified. This study aimed to evaluate the non‐linearity of the dose‐response association between the number of lost teeth and the risk of ...

Causal inference in oral health research: Beyond statistical significance toward a causal framework
Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.Abstract Background Oral health research has adopted sophisticated statistical methods, yet studies routinely present adjusted associations as causal effects. The problem is not statistical competence but the absence of explicit causal reasoning. This commentary proposes a principled framework for causal reasoning in oral health research.

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (HD) have limited physiologic reserve and high competing cardiometabolic risk, yet surgery remains central to cure for many gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies. Evidence describing oncologic surgery in this population is fragmented across cancer sites and data sources.

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Microglia play an important role in ischemic stroke (IS). However, the molecular regulatory mechanisms underlying microglial ferroptosis in IS remain incompletely understood. In this study, blood samples were collected from 20 IS patients and 15 healthy volunteers.

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the hemodynamic significance of in‐stent restenosis (ISR) by using a combined anatomical‐functional approach with photon‐counting CT coronary angiography (APEX‐CT CTA) and dynamic CT myocardial perfusion imaging (CT‐MPI). We prospectively enrolled 239 symptomatic patients at least 9 months after PCI.

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is characterized by cardiomyocyte death, excessive oxidative stress, inflammation, and ferroptosis, which collectively limit the efficacy of reperfusion therapy. In this study, we investigated whether kaempferol (KAE), a natural flavonol with antioxidative and antiinflammatory properties, could ...
