Carious lesions in permanent dentitions are reduced in remote Indigenous Australian children taking part in a non-randomised preventive trial.

January 28, 2021 | PLoS One | Lalloo R, Tadakamadla SK, Kroon J, Jamieson LM, Ware RS, Johnson NW. | 16(1):e0244927
Excerpt Discussion ... While our annual intervention reduced caries incidence, caries increment remains unacceptably high in this community, even in children who received it. These interventions are resource-intensive, so consideration should be given to proven cost-effective interventions such as the reintroduction of water fluoridation. If active interventions are needed, consideration should be given to expanding the roles of community health workers to deliver preventive programs, especial

Serum Concentration of Fluoride in Patients with Alcoholic Liver Cirrhosis from the Lublin Region in Eastern Poland.

January 27, 2021 | International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health | Prystupa A, Sak J, Kicinski P, Stenzel-Bembenek A, B?azewicz A. | 18(3):1115
Excerpt 4. Discussion ... In our study higher serum fluoride concentrations were associated with changes in liver related parameters. In all Pugh-Child score groups of analyzed patients with different stages of alcoholic liver cirrhosis, elevated levels of plasma fluoride, increased activities of both hepatic aminotransferases, ALT and AST, and total bilirubin concentration were shown. The risk of serious complications like esophageal varices, ascites and encephalopathy was high
