Performance of artificial intelligence using oral and maxillofacial CBCT images: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusion: Some limitations are identified in our meta-analysis such as heterogenicity of studies, risk of bias and lack of ground truth. The application of AI for detection and segmentation using CBCT images is comparable to services offered by trained dentists and can potentially expedite and enhance the interpretive process. Implementing AI into clinical dentistry can analyze a large number of CBCT studies and flag the ones with significant findings, thus increasing efficiency. The study protocol was registered in PROSPERO, the international registry for systematic reviews (ID number CRD42021285095). (Source: Nigerian ...

Pulse oximetry and peak expiratory flow rate correlations in acute asthma exacerbation in children
Conclusion: Children with SpO2 of <95% are more likely to have an acute asthma exacerbation. While SpO2 and PEFR have more role in identifying children without acute asthma exacerbation and a limited role in identifying children with mild symptoms of asthma due to their exacerbation due to their moderate to poor correlation.

Pattern and awareness of complementary and alternative medicine usage for otorhinolaryngological problems among residents in Ekiti State
Conclusion: This study showed that the prevalent of CAM usage in ORL is quite low in our setting, which represent about one-fifth of the respondents. Although respondents claimed that the system was efficacious, awareness to its usage was very low and there was no evidence to prove that the diagnosis were known before using CAM. The use of Orthodox method in treating Otorhinolaryngological ailments is still the best. We therefore recommend empirical studies on CAM in future. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)
