The Knowledge and Attitude of Undergraduate Dental Students toward Dental Ergonomic Principles in Occupational Health.

Background: Undergraduate dental curricula and courses containing ergonomic principles are introduced to students from the very beginning of dental education. Still, dentists present a high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, which are a direct burden on quality of life, leading to early retirement from the profession. This study aimed to assess the state of students' knowledge and awareness regarding the role of ergonomics in dentistry and its practical implementation.

Should we be afraid of long-term cardiac consequences in children with multisystem inflammatory syndrome? Experience from subsequent waves of COVID-19.

The purpose of the study was to assess and compare short- and long-term cardiac complications of the multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) by predominant severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants throughout the pandemic. The analysis of prospectively collected data comparing cardiac complications of MIS-C during and after hospitalization across the original/alpha, delta, and omicron waves. Cardiac complications were defined as cardiac failure with systolic function impairment or hypotension or abnormalities in echocardiographic findings (decrease in LVEF, FS, valvular insufficiency, pericardial effusion, or coronary artery abnormalities).

Appetite and dietary intake endpoints in cancer cachexia clinical trials: Systematic Review 2 of the cachexia endpoints series.

There is no consensus on the optimal endpoint(s) in cancer cachexia trials. Endpoint variation is an obstacle when comparing interventions and their clinical value. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize and evaluate endpoints used to assess appetite and dietary intake in cancer cachexia clinical trials.

Physical function endpoints in cancer cachexia clinical trials: Systematic Review 1 of the cachexia endpoints series.

In cancer cachexia trials, measures of physical function are commonly used as endpoints. For drug trials to obtain regulatory approval, efficacy in physical function endpoints may be needed alongside other measures. However, it is not clear which physical function endpoints should be used.
