Quorum Quenching as an Ecological Modulator of Periodontal Biofilms

/in /by

Background: Periodontal disease is driven by dysbiotic biofilms characterized by altered microbial functions rather than mere pathogen overgrowth. Quorum sensing (QS) enables coordinated microbial behavior that sustains dysbiosis, while quorum quenching (QQ) has emerged as a strategy to disrupt microbial communication without bactericidal effects. Existing reviews primarily address QS inhibition broadly or focus on cariogenic […]

Interleukin-1β–Mediated Orofacial Bone Defects and Alveolar Bone Loss in Periodontal Disease: A Scoping Review

/in /by

Orofacial bone defects, particularly alveolar bone loss, are hallmark features of periodontal disease and represent a significant clinical challenge affecting oral function and quality of life. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) has emerged as a key pro-inflammatory cytokine mediating the link between periodontal inflammation and osteoclastic bone resorption. This scoping review using keywords related to orofacial bone defects, […]

The Relationship Between Agility Score and Ankle Flexibility and the Risk of Ankle Injury Among Basketball Players at Giovanni Catholic Senior High School Kupang

/in /by

Background: Ankle injuries are the most common type of injury experienced by basketball players, mainly due to pressure or rapid twisting forces upon landing after jumping.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate […]

Institutional Capacity and the Productivity of R&D: Evidence from Patent Outcomes Across Countries

/in /by

Innovation is a key driver of economic growth. However, countries with similar research and development spending show very different patent outputs. This raises questions about what makes innovation efficient. This study examines whether government effectiveness affects the relationship between R&D spending and patent production in different countries. Using panel data from 111 countries from 2000 […]

The Relationship Between Worm Infection and Nutritional Status of Elementary School Students in the Working Area of the Nulle Public Health Center

/in /by

Background: Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections remain a neglected public health problem in tropical regions, particularly in areas with poor sanitation and hygiene. These infections predominantly affect school-aged children and may contribute to impaired nutritional status. The working area of the Nulle Public Health Center is located in South Central Timor Regency, an area known to […]

Effect of Black Garlic Extract on Aspirin-Induced Gastric Mucosal Injury in Wistar Rats (Rattus norvegicus)

/in /by

Background: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including aspirin, are widely used but are associated with gastric mucosal injury through inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis and oxidative stress mechanisms. Black garlic, a processed form of Allium sativum, has been reported to possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may provide gastroprotective effects.

Study on the Utilization of Nickel (Ni) on the Growth and Yield of Mutant Sugarcane

/in /by

Enhancing national sugar productivity through the development of mutant sugarcane varieties necessitates precise nutrient management, particularly regarding the efficiency of nitrogen metabolism. Nickel (Ni) plays a vital role as an essential cofactor for the urease enzyme in hydrolyzing urea; however, its requirement thresholds in mutant genotypes require in-depth investigation to mitigate phytotoxicity risks. This study […]
