The study suggests that gum disease may be associated with higher risks of complications from COVID-19, including ICU admission and death.

A ��ϲ��-led study shows, for the first time, that circadian clock genes are involved in healing from surgery. Indeed, the researchers demonstrated that anti-inflammatory medications are most effective in promoting post-operative healing and recovery when taken during the active periods of our biological clocks.

Because many therapeutic options, such as opioids, for patients with chronic pain carry the risk of addiction and undesirable side effects, this breakthrough offers promising lines of research into chronic pain treatment, says Luda Diatchenko, professor at ��ϲ��’s Faculty of Dentistry and co-lead author of the new study Tue, 08 Aug 2017 14:20:16 +0000 webfull 129561 at /channels Why some dental implants work and others don’t /channels/news/why-some-dental-implants-work-and-others-don%E2%80%99t-263643 Each year, about 500,000 North Americans get dental implants. If you are one of them, and are preparing to have an implant, it might be a good idea to start taking beta blockers, medication that controls high blood pressure, for a while. And to stop taking heartburn pills. A body of research from ��ϲ�� led-teams indicates that in order to raise the odds that dental implants will attach properly, there are clear benefits to taking certain common medications and avoiding others.
