Particulate versus collagen-stabilized deproteinized bovine bone mineral for labial bone preservation in modified periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics: a retrospective CBCT study

In a retrospective CBCT study of 50 patients undergoing modified periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics, both particulate and collagen-stabilized deproteinized bovine bone mineral successfully preserved labial bone dimensions at six months, though the particulate form demonstrated superior retention of augmented bone thickness, particularly at the middle level, under orthodontic loading.

Pesticide residues and dietary health risks in onion marketed in Türkiye using deterministic and probabilistic approaches

This study analyzed 120 onion samples from Türkiye for 222 pesticide residues and, using both deterministic and probabilistic risk assessments, concluded that while residues were frequently detected, all levels remained well below safety thresholds, indicating a low dietary health risk for both adult and child consumers.

Evaluating the Osteogenic potential of S. officinale against Glucocorticoid-induced Osteoporosis using in vivo model

This study demonstrates that the aqueous root extract of *Symphytum officinale* exhibits significant osteoprotective potential against dexamethasone-induced osteoporosis in adult zebrafish by improving bone mineralization, restoring calcium and phosphorus levels, and modulating bone remodeling markers without causing developmental toxicity.

Community Seroprevalence of Anti-Schistosoma mansoni IgG Antibodies and Associated Factors in Baddan District, Ibb Governorate, Yemen

A cross-sectional study in Baddan District, Yemen, revealed a high seroprevalence (41.1%) of anti-Schistosoma mansoni IgG antibodies among residents, significantly associated with risk factors such as swimming, lack of footwear during water contact, open defecation near water sources, absence of household sanitation, and the presence of blood in stool.

Vitamin E Augments Metformin Efficacy in Reversing Dexamethasone-Induced Glucose Dysregulation, Dyslipidemia, and Oxidative Stress via GLUT-4 Modulation in Mice

This study demonstrates that in a mouse model of dexamethasone-induced insulin resistance, the combined administration of Vitamin E and Metformin significantly outperforms monotherapy in reversing hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance by markedly enhancing muscular GLUT-4 protein expression.

Family Perspectives on Long-Term Care Facility Selection and Quality Monitoring for Older Adults in an Emerging Ageing Region of Malaysia: A Qualitative Study

This qualitative study of family members in Sarawak, Malaysia, reveals that institutional care is often a last resort driven by a lack of alternatives, with families acting as de facto quality regulators due to the absence of formal oversight, thereby highlighting an urgent need for strengthened governance, workforce training, and independent complaint mechanisms in the region's private long-term care sector.
