TYPE 3 RESISTANT STARCH FROM CANNA EDULIS REDUCE LIPID LEVELS IN PATIENTS WITH MILD HYPERLIPIDEMIA THROUGH ALTERING GUT MICROBIOME: A DOUBLE- BLIND RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL

Type 3 resistant starch from Canna edulis (Ce-RS3) is an insoluble dietary fiber which could improve blood lipids in animals, but clinically robust evidence is still lacking.We performed a double-blind randomized controlled trial to assess the effects of Ce-RS3 on lipids in mild hyperlipidemia.One hundred and fifteen patients were included followed

Innovations in surgical techniques have improved the esthetic outcome and predictability of root coverage procedures in recent years.A free gingival graft (FGG) augments the attached gingiva, but the compromised blood supply precludes its use in root coverage.In the surgical technique described in this case report, the FGG kept over a laterally pla
