The autoimmunity–oral microbiome connection
(2017)To date, there is a major effort in deciphering the role of complex microbial communities, especially the oral and gut microbiomes, in the pathogenesis of various diseases. Increasing evidence indicates a key role for the ... -
Better knee function after surgical repair of acute quadriceps tendon rupture in comparison to acute patellar tendon rupture
(2019)Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a difference in knee function between patients with quadriceps tendon rupture and patellar tendon rupture after acute surgical repair. Our hypothesis was ... -
