Rethinking diabetic retinopathy: Homeostatic mechanisms for retinal clearance

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
In the healthy retina, balanced production and clearance of metabolic waste and fluid maintain retinal homeostasis and normal visual function. Diabetes disrupts this balance, increasing the accumulation of metabolic waste products, including advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and advanced lipoxidation end products (ALEs), while impairing waste and ...

Nanoparticles in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry: From Mechanisms to Clinical Applications

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Nanotechnology holds significant promise in improving dental care, yet there is a need for more reliable clinical studies to validate its effectiveness and safety. ABSTRACT Recent advances in nanotechnology are reshaping the landscape of periodontology and implant dentistry, particularly through the application of nanoparticles (NPs).

Vascular Patterning in Morphea Mimicking a Capillary Malformation: Case Report and Review of the Literature

Pediatric Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Early, inflammatory morphea can rarely mimic an acquired capillary malformation (CM), and emerging evidence suggests that endothelial injury may precede fibrosis in morphea, with vascular abnormalities driving immune recruitment and fibroblast activation.

Surgical considerations based on oral and periodontal vascularization

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives To synthesize current evidence on vascular and anastomotic patterns, emphasizing their operative implications for optimizing flap perfusion, neovascularization, and wound healing in periodontal and implant surgery, while accounting for anatomical variability and collateral circulation. Materials and Methods A comprehensive review of

Quantifying skin microvascular function responses to distinct forms of heat stress in humans using optical coherence tomography

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Optical coherence tomography (OCT) enables visualization and quantification of the cutaneous microvasculature, yet no study has compared responses to distinct forms of heating in humans. We hypothesized that local skin heating (LH) would evoke larger responses in microvascular diameter, velocity, flow and density than passive whole‐body ...

Scaling temporal resolution from mice to humans: Challenges and innovations in preclinical imaging of translational models

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Temporal scaling physiology differs significantly between mice and humans. Mice have higher metabolism, heart and respiratory rate, as well as faster blood flow rates, brain activity and physiological dynamics over time. These differences influence the temporal resolution needed in preclinical imaging of mouse models to ...

Assessment of Vascular Change Using Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography: A New Theory Explains Central Visual Loss in Behcet’s Disease

Journal of Ophthalmology, 2017
Objective. To evaluate retinal vascular structural change in ocular Behcet’s using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and fluorescein angiography (FA). Methods. An analytic cross-sectional study of 37 eyes of 21 Behcet’s uveitic patients was

The hidden impact of smoking in thyroid eye disease: a link between selenium deficiency, autoimmunity, and retinal microvasculature [PDF]

Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism
Objective: To investigate the impact of smoking on serum selenium levels, autoimmune activity, and macular microvascular density in patients with clinically inactive thyroid-associated orbitopathy (TAO), using optical coherence tomography angiography ...

Low‐threshold cutaneous mechanoreceptors on the foot sole have enhanced sensitivity when skin temperature is elevated

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic illustration of microneurography recordings used to examine the effects of local skin heating on cutaneous mechanoreceptor responses in the human foot (left panel). A microelectrode inserted into a peripheral nerve records single‐unit activity from tactile afferent fibres while controlled mechanical stimuli are applied ...

Conservative Management of Presumptive Free Flap Pedicle Compromise on Postoperative Day 6: Report of Two Cases and Literature Review

Microsurgery, Volume 46, Issue 8, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Pedicle compromise after free tissue transfer typically mandates urgent surgical re‐exploration, as flap viability is considered entirely dependent on an intact vascular supply before inosculation is achieved. Whether selective conservative management can be considered in selected cases remains an open question.
