Assessing current clinical eruption stage of mandibular third molars by dental panoramic radiography
CONCLUSION: All teeth below or at the CE junction are clinically unerupted. Above the CE junction, stage of eruption should be assessed together with the inclination, but horizontally inclined teeth are recommended to be verified clinically.PMID:38651519 | DOI:10.2340/aos.v83.40477 (Source: Acta Odontologica Scandinavica)

Association of the multi-biomarker disease activity score with arterial 18-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in rheumatoid arthritis
CONCLUSIONS: Among treated RA patients, achieved MBDA predicts of changes in arterial inflammation. Achieving low MBDA at 24 weeks was associated with clinically meaningful reductions in arterial inflammation, regardless of treatment.PMID:38652572 | DOI:10.1093/rheumatology/keae242 (Source: Atherosclerosis)

Radio-Guided Surgery with a New-Generation β-Probe for Radiolabeled Somatostatin Analog, in Patients with Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors
CONCLUSION: This study reports optimal accuracy in detecting lesions of SI-NETs using the intraoperative RGS approach with a novel β-probe. The method was found to be safe, feasible, and easily reproducible in daily clinical practice, with minimal radiation exposure for the staff. RGS might potentially improve radical resection rates in SI-NETs.CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION: 68Ga-DOTATOC Radio-Guided Surgery with β-Probe in GEP-NET (RGS GEP-NET) [NCT0544815; https://classic.CLINICALTRIALS: gov/ct2/show/NCT05448157 ].PMID:38652200 | DOI:10.1245/s10434-024-15277-x (Source: Ann Oncol)

Reducing False-Positives Due to Urinary Stagnation in the Prostatic Urethra on 18F-DCFPyL PSMA PET/CT With MRI
CONCLUSIONS: Stagnated urine within the prostatic urethra is a potential confounding factor on PSMA PET scans. Integrating PET imaging with T2W MRI can mitigate false-positive calls, especially as PSMA PET/CT continues to gain traction in diagnosing localized prostate cancer.PMID:38651785 | DOI:10.1097/RLU.0000000000005220 (Source: Clinical Prostate Cancer)

Multiple sclerosis and bipolar disorder: an overlap between soma and psyche
Tijdschr Psychiatr. 2024;66(3):165-167.ABSTRACTThis clinical vignette describes a 29-year-old woman who had her first neurological manifestations of multiple sclerosis (MS) on the same day as a second lifetime manic episode as part of a bipolar I disorder. The patient was stable for eight years before this episode. An MRI-scan conducted during admission showed multiple demyelinating lesions in the frontal cortex, which might have influenced the development and course of the manic episode. Her manic symptoms went into remission during the same time as her neurological symptoms. This clinical vignette with literature review ...

High first trimester ferritin levels differ according to parity and are independently related to preterm birth: A prospective cohort study
ConclusionsFirst trimester parity specific ferritin and CRP levels could play a part in predictive models for preterm birth, and further research for their additive role in preterm birth is needed. (Source: Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica)

Synthesis and characterization of TiO2 foam and SiO2@TiO2 core ‐shell nanostructure for gnetin dye degradation from industrial effluent
AbstractThe current study intends to create TiO2 foam, SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs), and SiO2@TiO2 core-shell nanostructure (CSN) with improved photocatalytic durability for the quick degradation of the textile industrial water pollutant in the presence of sunlight. The sol-gel, St öber, and chemical co-precipitation methods have been used to synthesize TiO2 foam, SiO2 NPs, and SiO2@TiO2 CSN. X-ray diffraction results have revealed the anatase phase of TiO2 foam, the amorphous nature of SiO2 NPs, and the amorphous nature of SiO2@TiO2 CSN due to equal wt.% of SiO2 NPs and TiO2 foam at 300 K. Field emission scanning electron mi...

Independent Associations of Aortic Calcification with Cirrhosis and Liver Related Mortality in Veterans with Chronic Liver Disease
This study ’s purpose was to evaluate AAC and liver-related death in a cohort of Veterans with chronic liver disease (CLD).MethodsWe utilized the VISN 10 CLD cohort, a regional cohort of Veterans with the three forms of CLD: NAFLD, hepatitis C (HCV), alcohol-associated (ETOH), seen between 2008 and 2014, with abdominal CT scans (n = 3604). Associations between MAC and cirrhosis development, liver decompensation, liver-related death, and overall death were evaluated with Cox proportional hazard models.ResultsThe full cohort demonstrated strong associations of MAC and cirrhosis after adjustment: HR 2.13 (95% CI 1.63, 2.7...

Using neuroimaging to assess brain activity and areas associated with surgical skills: a systematic review
ConclusionFunctional neuroimaging can reveal how task-related brain activity reflects technical and non-technical surgical skills. The existing body of work highlights the potential of neuroimaging to link task-related brain activity patterns with the individual level of competency or improvement in performance after training surgical skills. More research is needed to establish its validity and usefulness as an assessment tool. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)
