Statement Of Problem: Implementation of fabrication trueness analysis by using a recently introduced nonmetrology-grade freeware program may help clinicians and dental laboratory technicians in their routine practice. However, knowledge of the performance of this freeware program when compared with the International Organization for Standardization recommended metrology-grade analysis software program is limited.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of an analysis software program on measured deviations in the complete arch, implant-supported framework scans.
Article Synopsis
- About 25% of patients with NSCLC have somatic mutations, but MEK inhibitors alone haven't worked well in trials; this study tests a drug combo (trametinib and ponatinib) due to previous findings of their effectiveness together.
- The phase 1 study involved 12 patients with KRAS-mutant NSCLC, using a dose escalation approach; common side effects included rash, diarrhea, and fever, with serious adverse events in five patients, including one death.
- No confirmed partial responses were seen, with a median treatment duration of 43 days; the results suggest that while the drug combination shows potential, safety issues need addressing before further testing.
Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition that can result in significant illness when untreated. Only 10%-20% of individuals with OSA are believed to be properly diagnosed. Consequently, dentists are encouraged to identify patients at high risk for OSA.
