Filter by:The aim of this study was to characterize the host-related response of peri-implant soft tissue induced by 3 different materials: titanium, resin and PEEK (polyetheretherketone) on man. The primary endpoint is to asses the histological data available: Histological analyses are carried out with immunohistology (CD68, CD3, CD20, macrophages), non decalcified histology to appreciate the structure of the peri implant soft tissues (Sulcus depth, junctional epithelium, connective tissue adhesion). Moreover: scanning electronic microscope (SEM) of the experimental abutment is performed to juge the cell adhesion on the abutment surface. The secondary endpoint is to assess clinical data, radiological bone remodeling regarding the different material. The hypothesis is that resin abutment lead to more inflammation than PEEK or titanium.
To demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of Sonu for the treatment of patients suffering from moderate to severe nasal congestion.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of concomitant antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPTD) on periodontal disease and glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Clinical Relevance: aPTD is a noninvasive adjunctive therapy that can positively influence the periodontal treatment outcome.
Only very few studies have prospectively looked at the effect of repeated intensive plasma donation. In collaboration with the Rode Kruis Vlaanderen, we have recently found that repeated whole blood donation with a 3-month interval in between induced a drop in markers for iron status, which worsened with the number of donations. The repetition effect of the donations, whether whole blood or plasma, can be different from the effects measured after one single donation. It is therefore critical to test and document this repetitive effect to build trustable and valid guidelines concerning repetitive plasma donation.
Objectives: To assess the change in gingival index (GI) and plaque index (PI) when comparing the use of toothpaste tablets to conventional toothpaste. Methods: 40 participants were randomized into two groups: Colgate's toothpaste tablets (T) and Colgate's Cavity Protection toothpaste (C). Both groups utilized their assigned dentifrice for 2 weeks. A pre and post-assessment measured the GI and PI index. A questionnaire on the use of the product was distributed.
The aim of this study was to measure whether the flow rate through the brachial artery and inflammatory markers were associated with the development of tissue edema in the surgical intensive care unit patients.
The evaluation of patients with abdominal pain is a challenge for the emergency physician and the selection of patients for second-level radiological examinations or endoscopic procedures is not always easy to perform. Faecal calprotectin could be a useful diagnostic marker to distinguish between "organic" or "functional" form and its determination could be helpful to select patients for further examinations, in the context of emergency setting.
Specific study objectives include: - To describe patient and provider characteristics for aflibercept patients and aflibercept user injections by aflibercept dispensing device, overall, and stratified by time (quarterly, annually). - To estimate the annual and quarterly incidence of intraocular inflammation (IOI) and suspected endophthalmitis for aflibercept user injections by aflibercept dispensing device. Secondary objectives • To estimate the annual incidence of IOI and suspected endophthalmitis for aflibercept user injections by dispensing device, stratified by indication for use, history of IOI, and provider characteristics.
A parallel intervention was conducted to test the effect of consuming diets enriched with red palm olein (RPOO), extra virgin coconut oil (EVCO) and extra virgin olive oil (EVOO; positive control) in centrally obese individuals over a 12-week period. Following the screening of the subjects' health status, including their biochemical and lipid profiles, the subjects completed a 12-week dietary intervention. Both fasting blood and urine samples were collected at baseline (day 0) and endpoint (week 12); measurements were taken in duplicates. All data collected were blinded to the investigators by an independent third party until the completion of the analysis.
The primary objective of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of a mix of three probiotic strains (Bifidobacterium lactis LA 304, Lactobacillus salivarius LA 302, and Lactobacillus acidophilus LA 201; Lactibiane Iki®) in the reduction in fecal calprotectin in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia, compared to a control group. The secondary aim was to evaluate the reduction in oxygen support and length of hospital stay in patients taking the probiotic mix.
