Outcome and prognostic factors for partial and full pulpotomy in the management of spontaneous symptomatic pulpitis in carious mature permanent teeth: A randomized clinical trial
ConclusionFull pulpotomy has higher success rate than partial pulpotomy in the management of spontaneous symptomatic pulpitis. Hemostasis within 4 minutes in partial pulpotomy can be set as cutoff point beyond which further tissue removal is indicated. (Source: Dental Technology Blog)

Comparison of the outcome of intentional replantation in teeth with or without periodontal involvement: a retrospective study
ConclusionThe long-term prognosis of teeth with CPEL is significantly worse than those with simple apical periodontitis. The main reason of extraction was periodontal involvement. Regular periodontal maintenance and appropriate crown restoration may help to improve the prognosis for teeth with CPEL. (Source: Dental Technology Blog)

Can AI improve sustainability in nuclear medicine?
Nuclear medicine experts support the use of AI to improve sustainability of practices in the field, yet said implementation will require careful consideration of the technology’s benefits and detriments, according to an article published April 6 in Radiography.
Lead author Geoff Currie, PhD, of Charles Sturt University in New South Wales, Australia, and U.S. colleagues, discussed the potential for AI across what they describe as the “five pillars” of sustainability in nuclear medicine (social, human, economic, ecological, and environmental) and noted its benefits and threats in each pillar.
“AI, digital twins, an...

Can AI help chest DDR achieve clinical adoption?
Chest dynamic digital radiography (DDR) may have received a boost toward clinical use in patients with lung disorders, with researchers developing AI to perform time-consuming analysis involved in the technology, according to researchers in New York City.
A group at Mount Sinai Hospital developed a “pipeline” of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to analyze lung areas in DDR image sequences from patients. The model performed well enough to act as a surrogate to standard pulmonary function tests, they found.
“Our findings add to growing evidence suggesting DDR as a potential [pulmonary function test] surrogate,”...

How Common Is Recurrent Radial Head Subluxation?
Discussion
Radial head subluxation (RHS) is most commonly occurs in children 6 months – 4 years old. It occurs because of the anatomy and child development. The radius is connected to the ulna just distal to the radial head by an annular ligament that encircles the radius “neck” (i.e. radial diaphysis) and inserts into the ulnar tuberosity. However the annular ligament is relatively small and also not as fibrous in young children compared to older children and adults. Young children often have their arm extended upward to hold hands with an adult especially when they are new walkers. If the child stumbles...

Dark-field chest x-ray takes step forward
German developers of dark-field chest x-ray appear to have overcome a technical limitation of the technology – namely, adjusting for photon scattering caused by interferometers used in the experimental system.
This scattering is picked up by the system’s detector (so-called “detector cross talk”) and leads to unwanted artifacts on patient chest x-rays, noted study lead and doctoral candidate Theresa Urban, of the Technical University of Munich, and colleagues. Ultimately, the group described a method to correct the phenomenon to produce better images.
“With the corrections presented here … the obtained dark-f...
