title: Supplementary Material for: Association Between Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone and Tooth Loss Risk in Community-Dwelling Older Adults in Taipei City: A Prospective Cohort Study

description: Background: This study assessed the association between thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and the risk of tooth loss.
Methods: From 2005 to 2013, 56,743 community-dwelling individuals aged ≥65 years underwent biennial physical examinations in Taipei. Dental evaluations documented tooth count and TSH levels were measured using a third-generation assay. Participants averaged 3.4 follow-ups over 4.9 years and were categorized into four groups based on plasma TSH concentrations. A generalized estimating equation model analyzed the longitudinal relationship between tooth loss and TSH levels
Results: Participants’ mean age was 73.1 years (SD, 6.3), being highest in the clinical hypothyroidism group (74.6 years) and lowest in the euthyroid group (73.0 years). Hypertension and diabetes were more prevalent in the clinical hypothyroidism group. Periodontitis rates were consistent across TSH categories, and 81.5% of participants retained ≥20 teeth, 12.0% had 10–19 teeth, and 6.5% had 1–9 teeth. Severe tooth loss (1–9 teeth) was slightly more frequent in the clinical hypothyroidism group (6.7%), suggesting a potential link between thyroid function and tooth retention. Multivariable-adjusted models found no significant association between subclinical hypothyroidism and tooth loss, whereas clinical hypothyroidism reduced risk (OR = 0.82, 95% CI: 0.74–0.92). Stratified analysis showed this protective effect in those with ≥20 teeth and in individuals aged 65–75 years (OR = 0.79). Conversely, subclinical hypothyroidism increased tooth loss risk in participants aged ≥75 years (OR = 1.12). Sex-stratified analysis revealed 26% lower risk in females with clinical hypothyroidism (OR = 0.74), suggesting age- and sex-specific influences of thyroid function on oral health.
Conclusion: This study suggests a link between clinical hypothyroidism and reduced tooth loss, particularly in women and individuals aged 65–75 years. Conversely, subclinical hypothyroidism in persons ≥75 years correlates with greater risk, underscoring the role of thyroid function in geriatric oral health.

title: Supplementary Material for: Multiple cerebral infarctions and clinically mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion associated with streptococcal toxic shock syndrome: A case report

description: Introduction: Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) is a rapidly progressing, fatal disease. Sepsis can be complicated by multiple cerebral infarctions, clinically mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS), and sepsis-related encephalopathy, resulting in a poor prognosis. To our knowledge, there have been no reported cases of sepsis complicated by both multiple cerebral infarctions and MERS. We report a case based on a literature review. Case presentation: The patient was a 49-year-old man who experienced fever and a sore throat for two weeks prior to his visit. He was diagnosed with tonsillitis. Two days prior to his visit, he was confused and was transported to his previous hospital, where he was diagnosed with sepsis and treated conservatively. Although his confusion had improved the day before coming to the hospital, head MRI revealed multiple cerebral infarctions, and he was transferred to our hospital for intensive care. At the time of transfer, high signal intensity observed in the splenium of the corpus callosum on MRI was thought to be MERS. Blood tests revealed septic coagulopathy. He received intensive care and was discharged home on day 32. Head MRI performed during outpatient follow-up on the 15th day after discharge, we made a definitive diagnosis of MERS. Conclusion: We encountered a very rare case of STSS complicated by multiple cerebral infarctions and MERS, which had a favorable prognosis. The associations among sepsis, multiple cerebral infarctions, and MERS remain poorly understood and further investigation is warranted.

title: Supplementary Material for: Sexual Dimorphism in Facial Morphology and Skin Color in the Horn of Africa

description: Introduction: Previous research has shown substantial variation in sexual dimorphism of facial structure and skin color across human populations. This study investigates sexual dimorphism in both facial shape and skin color in understudied populations from the Horn of Africa – Somalis and Ethiopians – focusing on the relationship between facial morphology and pigmentation traits. Methods: Standardized frontal and profile photographs were collected from participants and analyzed using geometric morphometrics. Sexual shape dimorphism (SShD) was calculated by projecting each individual's facial shape onto a vector connecting average male and female shapes in Procrustes-aligned morphospace; higher values indicate more masculine morphology. Sexual color dimorphism (SCoD) was computed similarly, by projecting individual skin color values (from forehead and cheeks) onto a vector defined by average male–female difference in the CIE Lab* color space. Trajectory analysis and Bayesian hierarchical modelling were performed to examine associations between SShD and SCoD. Results: Significant sexual dimorphism was detected in both facial shape and skin color across both populations. Male faces tended to be more robust and darker, while female faces were more gracile and lighter-skinned. However, despite group-level sex differences, individual-level associations between facial structure and skin pigmentation were weak or absent. Somali participants exhibited greater dimorphism in skin color compared to Ethiopians, while facial shape dimorphism remained consistent between groups. Conclusion: Both target populations revealed significant sexual dimorphism in both structural and pigmentation facial traits. However, in contrast to previous findings reported in certain West African populations, we found no statistically reliable association between these two traits at the individual level. This decoupling may indicate distinct evolutionary or ecological pressures shaping morphological and pigmentation traits. Our findings suggest that no universal trade-off or consistent relationship exists between morphological and pigmentation components of sexual dimorphism across human populations.

title: Supplementary Material for: Methodological quality of systematic reviews on treatments for gastric cancer: a cross-sectional study

description: Introduction: Systematic reviews (SRs) provide crucial evidence for gastric cancer interventions, but their reliability can be compromised by methodological flaws. We aimed to evaluate the methodological quality of SRs on gastric cancer interventions and identify factors affecting their quality.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, APA PsycInfo, Embase, and Cochrane Database of SRs for eligible SRs published between January 2014 and October 2023. The methodological quality was assessed using AMSTAR 2. Multivariable regression analyses were conducted to identify factors influencing quality.
Results: Among 119 identified SRs (including 1,305 RCTs with 233,197 participants), only 2.5% were rated as high quality, while 89.1% were critically low quality. Higher journal impact factor was associated with better performance in addressing heterogeneity (AOR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.02-1.84), investigating publication bias (AOR: 1.41, 95% CI: 1.03-1.94), reporting conflicts of interest (AOR: 2.85, 95% CI: 1.59-5.11), and establishing protocols (AOR: 3.33, 95% CI: 1.89-5.87). More review authors predicted better statistical methods (AOR: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.03-1.40) and protocol establishment (AOR: 1.31, 95% CI: 1.06-1.63). Recent publications showed improved conflict of interest reporting (AOR: 1.54, 95% CI: 1.09-2.10) and risk of bias assessment (AOR: 1.34, 95% CI: 1.03-1.75). Non-pharmacological SRs better discussed heterogeneity compared to pharmacological (AOR: 0.27, 95% CI: 0.09-0.85) or mixed interventions (AOR: 0.12, 95% CI: 0.03-0.53).
Conclusion: The methodological quality of gastric cancer intervention SRs is unsatisfactory. Future SRs should focus on establishing protocols, explaining study design selection, using comprehensive search strategies, documenting excluded studies with reasons, and describing primary studies in detail.

title: Rise and fall of transhumance in Iceland: Shielings and related sites, 10th-20th century CE

description: This dataset was created as part of the project ‘Rise and Fall of Transhumance in Iceland, AD 800-1800’ (TransIce). The project was funded by the Icelandic Research Fund (IRF – Rannís). It is part of the work carried out in work package 1. The dataset was produced and analysed in order to create the first overview of the shieling system in Iceland and to identify any regional variations in the system.

The dataset features shapefiles (points) that mark the location of shielings, farms, PCA (peat cutting areas), charcoal pits, and shepherd’s houses in Iceland.

Please note that not all areas of Iceland have been surveyed. A map inside the ZIP file provides an indication of the number of surveyed sites from Ísleif in each county. The darker the blue colour is on the map, the more sites have been surveyed in that county.

For explanation of specific terms (e.g. private property; shieling) see the CSV file (TransIce_ vocabulary.csv) attached in the ZIP file.

title: Supplementary Material for: Combined Renuvion and Endolift Therapy Suggests Enhanced Skin Tightening Compared to Monotherapy in Upper Arm Rejuvenation: A Case Report

description: Abstract
Introduction: Skin laxity, a common aesthetic concern, drives demand for non-surgical solutions. Energy-based devices like Renuvion® (helium plasma/radiofrequency) and Endolift® (1470 nm diode laser) offer minimally invasive tightening, yet their combined efficacy remains underexplored. This study evaluates synergistic effects of Renuvion® and Endolift® through an intra-patient comparison.
Case presentation: A 44-year-old female with moderate upper arm laxity underwent Renuvion® alone on the right arm and combined Renuvion® + Endolift® on the left. Endolift® (6 W, 50 ms ON/OFF pulses, 600 μm fiber) delivered 4000J-5000J per arm via subdermal scraping. Renuvion® followed one week later, using standard subdermal settings. Outcomes were assessed via laxity scoring, circumferential measurements, blinded practitioner evaluations and patient feedback at eight weeks. The combination arm demonstrated a higher reduction in circumference (34.3% vs. 28.8%) and superior practitioner ratings (3/3 vs. 2/3), indicating enhanced skin tightening. Blinded practitioners rated the left arm’s improvement as “marked” (score 3/3) vs. “moderate” (score 2/3) for the right. Patient satisfaction aligned with objective metrics, citing the left arm as “tighter” and “more contoured.” No adverse events occurred.
Conclusion: Combining Renuvion® and Endolift® enhanced skin tightening compared to Renuvion® monotherapy, which may suggest synergistic subdermal remodeling. This dual-modality approach may optimize outcomes in fibrous anatomical regions, though larger controlled studies are warranted.
