A Principled Framework for Mendelian Randomization in Oral Health Research

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This methodological article provides a clear and accessible overview of Mendelian randomization for oral health researchers, emphasizing the core assumptions needed for credible causal inference. Focusing on applications in oral health, particularly periodontitis, it highlights both the strengths and limitations of the study design in order to support ...

Mosses as Biomonitor of Air Pollution with Analytes Originating from Tobacco Smoke

Chemistry-Didactics-Ecology-Metrology, 2018
Abstract The aim of the carried out research was the assessment of the possibility to use a popular bioindicator - Pleurozium schreberi mosses as a biosensor of the air pollution in living quarters with the analytes originating from tobacco smoke. The moss bag method of active biomonitoring, popular in environmental studies, was applied;

Systemic, Lifestyle and Environmental Modifying Factors in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
A variety of impacting factors in the pathogenesis of periodontitis exist, including systemic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. This review highlights the manifold mechanistic aspects of the link between the pathogenesis of periodontitis, addressing these numerous factors to supplement the long‐standing knowledge of the progression of the disease.

The Role of Oxidative Stress in Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Oxidative stress is involved in multiple chemical reactions that take place in different intracellular organelles: mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum, peroxisomes, autophagy, and aging, and can be influenced by exogenous factors: nutrition, physical activity, psychological status, environmental conditions, microbiome, and drugs.

Indoor Tobacco Smoke Pollution a Major Risk Factor for Both Breast and Lung Cancer? [PDF]

Medical Dosimetry, 1988
Among 51 countries, those having high mortality rates for male lung cancer generally have high rates for female breast cancer (highest in England, Scotland, and the Netherlands). Conversely, those having low rates for one disease have low rates for both (P less than 0.001). Mortality rates available for 23 of the countries for 1954, 1964, and 1974 show

Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review reorganizes decades of research in periodontal medicine into a multi‐dimensional framework, illustrating how periodontitis influences systemic health through at least seven interconnected mechanisms. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is now recognized not merely as a localized oral condition but as a systemic disease linked to over 70 communicable and
