Objectives: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of two non vital whitening techniques, In-office and Walking Bleach, using 35% hydrogen peroxide. The primary research question was to determine which technique achieves greater tooth color improvement.
Materials And Methods: Fifty non-vital anterior teeth with discoloration were randomly assigned to either the In-office (n = 25) or Walking Bleach (n = 25) groups.

Annu Rev Public Health
December 2024
Vaccines are lifesaving interventions that reduce the morbidity and mortality of disease. Fortunately, serious adverse events with vaccination are uncommon, but they must promptly be recognized and evaluated to assess and clarify the safety of future administration, a process that the public must understand in order to feel safe in receiving vaccines. In this article, we provide a review of vaccine development, discuss the process by which safety is ensured, and describe key adverse events associated with their administration.

- Snakebite envenoming poses a significant health risk, particularly in tropical regions, affecting 2.5 million people annually and causing up to 138,000 deaths, prompting the WHO to aim for a 50% reduction in related fatalities by 2030.
- A study leveraging MaxDiff statistical design and machine learning analyzed data from 6921 responses, finding that while no individual algorithm was superior, the Generalized Regression Model (Ridge) effectively identified major barriers to treatment, including high costs of antivenoms and limited access in remote areas.
- The research highlights critical obstacles to effective snakebite treatment in Ghana, suggesting that addressing these issues is essential for improving health outcomes and meeting global health goals.
