Efficacy of a stannous fluoride dentifrice for relieving dentinal hypersensitivity in Chinese population: an 8-week randomized clinical trial
ConclusionsAll
groups demonstrated statistically significant improvements in Schiff
score, tactile threshold and OHRQoL. However, due to a possible placebo
effect in the negative control, there were no statistically significant
differences between the dentifrices.Clinical relevanceThis study adds to the growing research exploring why the placebo effect is a common phenomenon in DH studies. (Source: Dental Technology Blog)

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,”...
