Among the patients seeking dental treatment, some may present with symptoms that cannot be resolved by dental treatment alone. Patients with orofacial symptoms associated with malignant diseases, which require medical treatment, often visit dental clinics for their initial consultation. Delays in making a definitive diagnosis worsen the patient's prognosis.

Introduction: This in vivo study aimed to clarify the position of the sublingual artery (SLA) relative to the mandibular bone and to infer the potential risk for injury during dental implant surgery.
Methods: Contrast-enhanced computed tomography images of the mouth of 50 edentulous patients (100 sides) treated at Tokushima University Hospital were reviewed. Curved planar reconstructed images perpendicular to the alveolar ridge were processed and classified into molar, premolar, canine, and incisor regions.
Holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency (HSD), an autosomal recessive biotin cycle disorder, is caused by () genetic variants, resulting in multiple carboxylase deficiency. Catabolic stress can induce metabolic crises in patients with HSD. Although pharmacological doses of biotin have improved HLCS enzyme activity and HSD prognosis, the prolonged life expectancy has gradually highlighted novel issues in adult patients with HSD.

- The study focuses on optimizing the production of crystalline particles, aiming for thicker and less agglomerated crystals to improve the crystal size distribution (CSD) in reactive crystallization.
- It was found that operating at a low solution pH increases the thickness of primary particles, enhancing agglomeration, while a high pH reduces the nucleation rate and overall agglomeration.
- A new operational strategy involving adjustments in the addition method of feed solutions is proposed to navigate the balance between particle thickness and agglomeration, ultimately leading to a better CSD in the final product.
The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with requiring surgical treatment for mastitis or breast abscess in postpartum mothers. This was a retrospective cohort study using the Japan Medical Data Center Claims Database. Information on pairs of infants born between April 2012 and December 2016 and their mothers were extracted.
