Epithelial integration in tissue-engineered oral mucosa using RGDTFI-presenting micropatterned collagen scaffolds

Objective To determine whether presentation of the integrin αvβ3/αvβ5-binding peptide motif RGDTFI on micropatterned collagen scaffolds improves epithelial coverage and stabilizes the epithelial–scaffold interface during fabrication of tissue-engineered oral mucosa (TEOM). Method...

Percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy during pregnancy: a contemporary Southeast Asian experience

Abstract Background Severe rheumatic mitral stenosis during pregnancy is associated with substantial maternal and fetal morbidity because physiological hemodynamic changes may precipitate heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. Percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PT...

Effectiveness of probiotic supplementation in reducing halitosis among older adults: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial

Halitosis is a common oral health condition among older adults and is primarily associated with volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) produced by oral bacteria. Probiotics have been proposed as a potential approach to modulate oral microbiota and reduce halitosis. This study aimed to...

Phenotypic and Genomic Analysis of Swine-Derived Bacillus subtilis 1BP1Co1 as a Functional Probiotic Candidate to Mitigate Escherichia coli-Associated Diarrhea

Post-weaning diarrhea caused by pathogenic Escherichia coli is a significant economic challenge in global swine production. Rising antimicrobial resistance linked to traditional antibiotics necessitates safe, sustainable alternatives. This study isolated and characterized host-as...

Organization of the Digestive Tract and Localization of Protein Fibre in Electrophorus sp. (Gymnotiformes: Gymnotidae)

ABSTRACT Research into the electric eel ( Electrophorus ) has focused on its production of high‐voltage electrical discharges for predation and defence, and its divergence from other fish species in terms of molecular activities. However, the knowledge of its digestive biology re...

Prediction model for abnormal joint line obliquity after open wedge high tibial osteotomy using knee radiographic parameters

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to identify key preoperative radiographic parameters and develop a predictive model for abnormal knee joint line obliquity (KJLO) following medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) in patients with medial compartment knee...
