Combined Effects of Glutaraldehyde-based Desensitizer and Nd: YAG Laser on Dentinal Tubules Occlusion
Conclusion:
The use of Nd:YAG laser alone or in combination with GD was more
effective in occluding dentinal tubules compared to GD alone.
Clinical significance:
This study has shown that Nd:YAG laser alone and in combination with GD has superior dentinal tubule occlusionin vitro.
Its clinical use in the treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity may
overcome the drawback of conventional treatment approaches for dentin
hypersensitivity needing repeated applications to achieve continuous
relief from pain since acidic diet and toothbrushing result in the
continuing elimination of precipitates and surface...

The rise of theranostics: Part 1 -- Gaining momentum
Since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) approvals of radiopharmaceuticals for neuroendocrine tumors and then for prostate cancer, theranostics has picked up momentum in clinical practice, propelled by encouraging research.Theranostics pairs diagnostic biomarkers that can be visualized on nuclear medicine imaging with therapeutic agents that share a specific target in diseased cells or tissues. After the therapeutic agent binds to the cancer cells, the tumors are treated in such a way that aims to prevent collateral damage to healthy cells and improve overall outcomes.Theranostics isn’t new; nuclear medicine d...

How has virtual interviewing impacted residency matches?
Virtual interviews implemented in the U.S. due to the COVID-19 pandemic do not appear to have shifted the geographic distribution of interventional and diagnostic radiology residents, says a group at NYU Langone Health in New York City.
