Purpose: The purpose of this study was to classify mandibular molar furcation involvement (FI) in periapical radiographs using a deep learning algorithm.
Materials And Methods: Full mouth series taken at East Carolina University School of Dental Medicine from 2011-2023 were screened. Diagnostic-quality mandibular premolar and molar periapical radiographs with healthy or FI mandibular molars were included.
Introduction: Previous systematic reviews investigating the effects of green and blue space (GBS) on maternal and neonatal health have mainly focused on cross-sectional evidence, limiting potential causal inferences. The last review on the topic was published in January 2024. This review focused on residential greenness effects and neonatal health only but did not include other green/blue space measures, or maternal health outcomes.

- Following the detection of a novel highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) H5N1 in Newfoundland in late 2021, Canada ramped up surveillance efforts of wild birds to track the spread of the virus nationwide.* -
- During the first year of surveillance (November 2021-November 2022), over 6,000 sick and dead birds were tested, revealing that 27.4% were positive for HPAIV across various species and regions, particularly in the Atlantic and Central Flyways.* -
- The findings highlighted the need for ongoing monitoring and collaboration, as wild birds serve as both victims and reservoirs of the virus, with a notable prevalence of Eurasian-origin strains identified throughout
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent mandatory social distancing led to widespread disruption of medical education. This contributed to the accelerated introduction of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technology in medical education.
Objective: The objective of this quantitative narrative synthesis review is to summarize the recent quantitative evidence on the impact of VR and AR on medical education.
Thousands of abandoned uranium mines (AUMs) exist in the western United States. Due to improper remediation, windblown dusts generated from AUMs are of significant community concern. A mobile inhalation lab was sited near an AUM of high community concern ("Claim 28") with three primary objectives: to (1) determine the composition of the regional ambient particulate matter (PM), (2) assess meteorological characteristics (wind speed and direction), and (3) assess immunological and physiological responses of mice after exposures to concentrated ambient PM (or CAPs).
