Assessing knowledge of human papillomavirus among men who have sex with men (MSM) using targeted dating applications.

Background: The incidence of HPV-related oropharyngeal and anal cancer has been increasing significantly over the past 30 years, especially among males. This study sought to better understand the level of knowledge of HPV-related disease in the LGBTQ+ community, and serve as a method to increase awareness for HPV vaccination as a safe and effective method for cancer prevention.

Methods: SCRUFF and Jack'd are geosocial networking and dating mobile applications for men who have sex with men (MSM).

Interprofessional value-based health care: Nurse practitioner-dentist model.

Objectives: The United States health system is challenged to improve patient and population health, enhance patients' experience of care, and reduce health care costs. Value-based health care (VBHC) models are proposed to address these issues. Medical health systems are making strides toward VBHC, whereas dental care systems lag behind.

Stem cell technology for bone regeneration: current status and potential applications.

Continued improvements in the understanding and application of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have revolutionized tissue engineering. This is particularly true within the field of skeletal regenerative medicine. However, much remains unknown regarding the native origins of MSC, the relative advantages of different MSC populations for bone regeneration, and even the biologic safety of such unpurified, grossly characterized cells.
