Extensive and closely coordinated remodeling processes take place in the periodontal ligament (PDL) and the adjacent bone during orthodontic tooth movement. In complex orthodontic cases, it is necessary to move teeth into an augmented bony defect, for example, in patients with cleft lip, alveolus, and palate. The important role of the PDL during tooth movement is well accepted but not fully understood.

- Radiation therapy (RT) for glioma can lead to neurotoxicity, and this study compares the effects of proton RT (PRT) versus photon RT (XRT) on brain imaging metrics in patients.
- In a study of 34 patients with WHO grade 2-3 gliomas, significant ventricular volume increases were noted in both RT groups, with XRT showing greater brain volume loss (26.55%) compared to PRT (12.03%) after two years.
- While PRT patients did not show overall cognitive decline, individual cognitive performance correlated with brain volume loss, indicating the need for further research on long-term cognitive effects following radiation treatment.
Background: Cancer remains a formidable global health challenge, currently affecting nearly 20 million individuals worldwide. Due to the absence of universally effective treatments, ongoing research explores diverse strategies to combat this disease. Recent efforts have concentrated on developing combined drug regimens and targeted therapeutic approaches.

As previously described in adults, S1-specific and receptor-binding domain-specific IgG4 levels increase significantly 1 year after the second BNT162b2 vaccination in children 5-11 years of age. Understanding mRNA vaccine-specific IgG4 responses in all age groups is crucial as more mRNA vaccines will reach licensure in the coming years.

However, image quality in cone-beam CT is limited by artifacts and poor differentiation between gray and white matter. This study compared non-contrast brain dual-layer cone-beam CT in the interventional suite to reference standard CT in stroke patients.
