To evaluate the linkage underpinning different clinical conditions as painful TMD and neck pain in patients affected by primary headaches.In this machine learning study, data from medical records of with headaches migraine, tension-type headache (TTH) other ones, referring to a University Hospital over 10-year period were analysed. VAS was used intensity pain. Moreover, magnetic resonance imaging supplement data.A total 300 (72 male, 228 female), mean aged 37.78 ± 5.11 years, included....
The association between obesity and periodontitis has been extensively investigated in adults but not young people. Our aim is to evaluate whether overweight/obese paediatric patients have a greater chance of being affected by gingivitis than those normal weight.Ninety-eight subjects ranging 10 17 years age were classified as obese/overweight or weight on the basis body mass index. Auxological data, blood pressure, insulin resistance, psychological profile, oral hygiene habits, plaque...
Periodontal disease seems to be correlated with low vitamin D serum levels, preterm birth (PTB) and weight (LBW), although the literature still lacks a consensus. This study aimed investigate this correlation in cohort of pregnant women over 20 weeks gestation from University Hospital "Maggiore della Carità", Novara, Italy. We assessed levels oral health status through following indexes: Oral Hygiene Index (OHI), Plaque Control Record (PCR), Gingival Bleeding (GBI), Community Treatment Needs...
Human skin hosts a variety of microbes that can be transferred to surfaces ("touch microbiome"). These microorganisms considered as forensic markers similarly "touch DNA". With this pilot study, we wanted evaluate the transferability and persistence microbiome" on surface after deposition fingerprint its exposure for 30 days at room temperature. Eleven volunteers were enrolled in study. Skin microbiome samples collected by swabbing palm their hands; additionally, donors asked touch glass...
Breast cancer (BC) survivors treated with aromatase inhibitors (AIs) commonly show several pathological issues, including poor oral health, bone health impairment, and vitamin D deficiency. However, to date, issues in BC AIs have been poorly investigated their relationship deficiency are far from being understood. This study aimed evaluate the correlation between status undergoing treatment through a machine learning approach. In this cross-sectional study, we included post-menopausal women...
NETosis is a neutrophil-mediated defense mechanism during which DNA and enzymes are extruded forming network (NETs) trapping killing different pathogens. reduced in both mice humans aging.We explored the difference efficacy of NETs released elderly (> 65 years) versus adults (20-50 subjects inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus growth activating keratinocytes.Neutrophil granulocytes, obtained from venous blood healthy adult subjects, were stimulated by LPS (0-250 µg/ml) to induce formation NET....
Abstract Objective The aim of the present study was to evaluate morphological changes induced by glycine powder air polishing on titanium surfaces and its effect bacteria recolonization in comparison with sodium bicarbonate powder. Materials methods 5 mm wide 1 thick grade II disks were divided into three groups treatments: (i) no treatment; (ii) powder; (iii) Specimens characterized laser profilometry, scanning electron microscopy ( SEM ) then installed onto removable appliances worn for 24...
The human oral microbiome has primarily been studied in clinical settings and for medical purposes. More recently, microbial research incorporated into other areas of study. In forensics, aimed to exploit the variation composition answer forensic relevant topics, such as identification geographical provenience. Several studies have focused on use continental, national, or ethnic origin evaluations. However, it is not clear how varies between similar populations across different regions a...
Background: Gelatin–xanthan gum (Gel–Xnt) hydrogel has been previously modified to improve its printability; now, increase ability for use as cell-laden 3D scaffolds (bioink), polydopamine (PDA), a biocompatible, antibacterial, adhesive, and antioxidant mussel-inspired biopolymer, added (1–3% v/v) hydrogel. Methods: Control (CT) PDA-blended hydrogels were used print 1 cm2 grids. The hydrogels’ printability, moisture, swelling, hydrolysis, porosity tested after glutaraldehyde (GTA)...
BACKGROUND: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting upper and lower motor neurons. The current practice of caring for patients affected by ALS involves multidisciplinary team without any indication about oral health care. OBJECTIVE: We sought to investigate the functional status in with define specific management. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we included ALS, evaluating their status, using Revised Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS-R)...
Incidence of Medication-Related Osteonecrosis the Jaw (MRONJ) related to cancer and myeloma treatments is undetermined, with scarce data varying from 2 7.8/million/year in limited investigated populations. A 9-years [2009-2018] regional-wide survey was conducted, deploying North-Western Italy Cancer Network ("Rete Oncologica Piemonte e Valle d'Aosta"), assess number main characteristics MRONJ cases among myeloma/cancer patients, within a population 4.5 million inhabitants.MRONJ were...
The innate immune system is the first line of defense body composed anatomical barriers, such as skin and mucosa, well effector cells, antimicrobial peptides, soluble mediators, cell receptors able to detect destroy viruses bacteria sense trauma wounds initiate repair. human β-defensins belong a family small cationic peptides produced by epithelial show immunomodulatory pro-healing activities. Laser biostimulation therapy widely used contrast microbial infection accelerate wound healing...
