- The study aimed to explore how oral health professionals perceived work safety and changes in dental practices amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
- A survey was conducted with 197 health professionals from the Brazilian Public Health System, highlighting sociodemographic factors and perceptions of oral health care during that time.

June 2023
Introduction: The US opioid epidemic has been one of the leading causes of injury-related deaths according to the CDC Injury Center. The increasing availability of data and tools for machine learning (ML) resulted in more researchers creating datasets and models to help analyze and mitigate the crisis. This review investigates peer-reviewed journal papers that applied ML models to predict opioid use disorder (OUD).

Methylglyoxal (MGO), an important advanced glycation end-product (AGE), and glycated albumin (GA) are the results of poor subclinical glucose metabolism and are indices of oxidative stress. Forty-one consecutive cases of SARS-CoV-2-positive pregnant patients comprising 25% pre-pregnancy overweight women and 25% obese women were recruited.
