Linking peri-implantitis to microbiome changes in affected implants, healthy implants, and saliva: a cross-sectional pilot study by Lucinda J. Bessa, Conceição Egas, Conceição Egas, Conceição Egas, Carolina Pires, Luís Proença, Paulo Mascarenhas, Ricardo J. Pais, Ricardo J. Pais, Helena Barroso, Vanessa Machado, João Botelho, Gil Alcoforado, José João Mendes, Ricardo Alves

“…IntroductionThe rising use of dental implants is accompanied by an expected increase in peri-implant diseases, particularly peri-implantitis (PI), which poses a significant threat to implant success and necessitates a thorough understanding of its pathogenesis for effective management.MethodsTo gain deeper insights into the role and impact of the peri-implant microbiome in the pathogenesis and progression of PI, we analyzed 100 samples of saliva and subgingival biofilm from 40 participants with healthy implants (HI group) or with co-occurrence of diagnosed PI-affected implants and healthy implants (PI group) using shotgun metagenomic sequencing. We identified the most discriminative species distinguishing healthy from diseased study groups through log ratios and differential ranking analyses.Results and discussionMogibacterium timidum, Schaalia cardiffensis, Parvimonas micra, Filifactor alocis, Porphyromonas endodontalis, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Olsenella uli were associated with the subgingival peri-implant biofilm. …”

Temperature-VPD-evapotranspiration interactions modulated asynchronous dynamics of vegetation photosynthesis and net ecosystem production in Eurasia by Rui Yang, Hao Yuan, Ruohua Du, Litao Zhou, Jianjun Wu, Liang Gao, Ting Mao

“…Spatially, vegetation photosynthesis and NEP changed asynchronously in nearly one-third of Eurasia, with a slightly higher proportion in non-dryland areas and the most obvious patterns in forests and croplands. Explainable machine learning analysis revealed that this asynchrony was primarily driven by interactions among temperature, vapor pressure deficit (VPD), and evapotranspiration. …”
