Article Synopsis
- Bitewing examinations are critical for assessing pediatric dental health, and this study compared the radiation dose and image quality of two X-ray systems: Trophy CCX (TCCX) and Planmeca Pro X (PPX).
- Data was collected from both real patient exams and artificial models, with experienced dentists blind-evaluating the images for quality while assessing radiation exposure using a dosimeter.
- Results showed that TCCX provided higher-quality images but at a significantly increased radiation dose compared to PPX, suggesting a trade-off between image clarity and patient safety.
Bariatric surgery is associated with near-immediate remission of type 2 diabetes and recently suggested as a treatment for type 2 diabetes. Specifically, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass has been a focus of much research, but still, the mechanisms of action are only partly elucidated. We aim to investigate whether some mechanisms might be mediated by free fatty acids (FFAs).

However, there are only few data on long-term adherence. The aim of this study is to quantify the extent of non-adherence and describe the clinical characteristics.

Our aim was to determine the referral pattern and prevalence of patients with self-reported type 2 DM in a Danish cohort of patients with newly diagnosed OSA. Furthermore, we compared clinical data related to the sleep disorder in patients with and without type 2 DM and different OSA severities.
