Even when HIV is controlled, damage to the gut caused by the disease can persist. A new study found early evidence that diet-derived compounds found in vegetables from the mustard family, such as broccoli and cabbage, may help support immune activity involved in gut repair.

A new Expert Consensus Decision Pathway by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) provides recommended strategies for improving postpartum care for individuals with and at risk for short- and long-term cardiovascular disease (CVD).

The report published online today in JACC, the flagship journal of the ACC.

New research has been published ahead-of-print by The Journal of Nuclear Medicine (JNM). JNM is published by the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, an international scientific and medical organization dedicated to advancing nuclear medicine, molecular imaging, and theranostics—precision medicine that allows diagnosis and treatment to be tailored to individual patients in order to achieve the best possible outcomes.

When a front tooth has been root-treated and has lost a large portion of its original structure, restoring it is one of dentistry's more demanding challenges. The traditional approach involves inserting a post down into the root canal, building up a core on top of it, and then placing a crown — a technique that works but requires removing further tooth material, sometimes weakening what little remains and raising the risk of a root fracture that cannot be repaired. A newer, less invasive option called an endocrown skips the post altogether, drawing its hold entirely from the pulp chamber — the hollow space left after root canal treatment — and covering the tooth with a single ceramic restoration.
