Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and risk of bleeding and acute ischemic events in non-hypertensive Alzheimer's patients
( John Wiley and Sons Inc , 2021 , Article)Introduction Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) are commonly used to treat mild to moderate cases of Alzheimer disease (AD). To the best of our knowledge, there has been no study estimating the risk of bleeding and ... -
Analytical model of I-bar clasps for removable partial dentures
( Elsevier Inc. , 2021 , Article)Objective: Clasps of removable partial dentures (RPDs) often suffer from fatigue stress that leads to plastic deformation, loss of retention, and RPD failure. Recently, computer-based technologies were proposed to optimize ... -

( SAGE Publications Inc. , 2021 , Article)Dentistry increasingly integrates artificial intelligence (AI) to help improve the current state of clinical dental practice. However, this revolutionary technological field raises various complex ethical challenges. The ... -
Assessing Decision-Making in Education of Restorative and Prosthetic Dentistry: A Pilot Study
( Quintessence Publishing Co. Inc. , 2021 , Article)Purpose: To evaluate whether a concordance assessment (CA) software application is able to assess decisionmaking in restorative and prosthetic dentistry. Materials and Methods: Vignettes representing 10 different clinical ... -
Biomimetic trace metals improve bone regenerative properties of calcium phosphate bioceramics
( John Wiley and Sons Inc , 2021 , Article)The bone regenerative capacity of synthetic calcium phosphates (CaPs) can be enhanced through the enrichment with selected metal trace ions. However, defining the optimal elemental composition required for bone formation ... -
Chiral Tartaric Acid Improves Fracture Toughness of Bioactive Brushite-Collagen Bone Cements
( American Chemical Society , 2020 , Article)Brushite cements are promising bone regeneration materials with limited biological and mechanical properties. Here, we engineer a mechanically improved brushite-collagen type I cement with enhanced biological properties ... -
Chronic melatonin treatment improves obesity by inducing uncoupling of skeletal muscle SERCA-SLN mediated by CaMKII/AMPK/PGC1α pathway and mitochondrial biogenesis in female and male Zücker diabetic fatty rats
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)Melatonin acute treatment limits obesity of young Zücker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats by non-shivering thermogenesis (NST). We recently showed melatonin chronically increases the oxidative status of vastus lateralis (VL) in ... -
Chronotherapy of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs May Enhance Postoperative Recovery
( Nature Research , 2020 , Article)Postoperative pain relief is crucial for full recovery. With the ongoing opioid epidemic and the insufficient effect of acetaminophen on severe pain; non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are heavily used to ... -
A Cluster Analysis of Oral and Cognitive Health Indicators: An Exploratory Study on Cholinergic Activity as the Link
( SAGE Journals , 2023 , Article)Introduction: Poor oral health has been suggested as a risk factor for cognitive decline. Yet, biologically plausible mechanisms explaining this relationship remain unknown. Objectives: We aimed (1) to identify oral and ... -
Composition and characteristics of trabecular bone in osteoporosis and osteoarthritis
( Elsevier Inc. , 2020 , Article)Background Bone strength depends on multiple factors such as bone density, architecture and composition turnover. However, the role these factors play in osteoporotic fractures is not well understood. Purpose The aim ... -
Corrigendum to “Chronic melatonin treatment improves obesity by inducing uncoupling of skeletal muscle SERCA-SLN mediated by CaMKII/AMPK/PGC1α pathway and mitochondrial biogenesis in female and male Zücker diabetic fatty rats” [Biomed. Pharmacother. 172 (2024) 116314]
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)The authors regret the human error made in funding. Following the instructions of the Spanish Ministry to have no problem with the payment, the funding given had data from funders repeated, and following their instructions, ... -
Could Vagus nerve stimulation influence bone remodeling?
( International Society of Musculoskeletal and Neuronal Interactions , 2021 , Article)Objectives: To investigate the effect of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) on the bone mineral density (BMD) in epileptic patients. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted on individuals with refractory seizures who ... -
Development of a Checklist to Prevent Reconstructive Errors Made By Undergraduate Dental Students
( Blackwell Publishing Inc. , 2020 , Article)Purpose: To design a checklist in order to reduce the frequency of reconstructive preventable errors (PE) performed by undergraduate dental students at McGill University. Materials and Methods: The most common PE occurring ... -
Differences in platelet-rich plasma composition influence bone healing
( John Wiley and Sons Inc , 2021 , Article)Aim: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous blood-derived material that has been used to enhance bone regeneration. Clinical studies, however, reported inconsistent outcomes. This study aimed to assess the effect of ... -
Disclosing Agent for Resin Composite Based on Adsorption Surface Treatment
( American Chemical Society , 2021 , Article)A composite disclosing agent can help dentists distinguish resin boundaries from the tooth structure and facilitate its complete removal while avoiding damage to the surrounding sound tooth structures. In this study we ... -
Efficacy of aerosol reduction measures for dental aerosol generating procedures
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2022 , Article)Aerosol particles generated by dental procedures could facilitate the transmission of infectious diseases and contain carcinogen particles. Such particles can penetrate common surgical masks and reach the lungs, leading ... -
Evaluation of the design-driven prediction of removable partial denture retention
( Mosby Inc. , 2020 , Article)Statement of problem: Removable partial dentures (RPDs) are a cost-effective treatment designed to replace missing teeth for partially edentulous patients. However, RPDs often have insufficient retention, which results in ... -
High toughness resorbable brushite-gypsum fiber-reinforced cements
( Elsevier Ltd , 2021 , Article)The ideal bone substitute material should be mechanically strong, biocompatible with a resorption rate matching the rate of new bone formation. Brushite (dicalcium phosphate dihydrate) cement is a promising bone substitute ... -
