Biology of selective caries removal: a systematic scoping review protocol by Helge Knüttel, Matthias Widbiller, Rita Weiler, Kerstin M Galler, Wolfgang Buchalla, Konstantin J Scholz

“…Whereas the conventional approach of complete caries removal aims at the elimination of all affected substances without regard to losses of hard tissue or pulp vitality, the innovative concept of selective caries removal (SCR) is characterised by a targeted and non-invasive excavation. It presents a lower risk of accidental pulp exposure, which reportedly has a positive effect on tooth survival. …”

Chromosomal Abnormalities in Miscarriages and Maternal Age: New Insights from the Study of 7118 Cases by Anna A. Pendina, Mikhail I. Krapivin, Olga G. Chiryaeva, Lubov’ I. Petrova, Elizaveta P. Pashkova, Arina V. Golubeva, Andrei V. Tikhonov, Alla S. Koltsova, Ekaterina D. Trusova, Dmitrii A. Staroverov, Andrey S. Glotov, Olesya N. Bespalova, Olga A. Efimova

“…To summarize, despite the increase in the total incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in miscarriages with maternal aging, the rate of change differs for younger and older women, being three times lower in the former than in the latter. Moreover, the proportion of some abnormalities in karyotypically abnormal miscarriages shows a steady growth, whereas the proportion of others becomes increasingly low with maternal aging, most probably due to the age-dependent prevalence of different molecular and cellular defects.…”

Unique pharmacological properties of etrasimod among S1P receptor modulators by Ibragim Gaidarov, H. Kiyomi Komori, Dariusz T.

Miller, Andre Ghetti, Najah Abi‐Gerges, David Unett, Hussien Al‐Shamma, Christopher J. Rabbat, Catherine Crosby, John W. Adams

“…However, etrasimod was notably less potent than other S1PR modulators in assays measuring S1P1‐mediated G protein activation (GTPγS binding and cAMP inhibition). Relatively lower potency of etrasimod in inducing G protein signaling corresponded to significantly diminished activation of human cardiac G protein‐coupled inwardly rectifying potassium channels when compared to ozanimod. …”
