Purpose: Low rates of germline genetic testing (GGT) for breast cancer (BC) have been reported globally, with limited data from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In this study, we used real-world data to assess the GGT rate for BC in an LMIC and identified barriers to its use.
Methods: We analyzed 2,974 newly diagnosed patients with BC from the AMAZONA III study, the largest Brazilian multicenter, prospective BC cohort.
Objective: To report on the prevalence acute and chronic substance use among patients attending an emergency department (ED) in Mexico City because of a road traffic injury (RTI) and possible effect modifiers for the relationship between acute alcohol and cannabis use and RTI.
Materials And Methods: Adult RTI patients, admitted to an ED (January to April 2022). Breath Alcohol Concentration and six types of drugs were assessed using a saliva screen test.
Background: Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) single prostheses on teeth or implants are a viable option to restore edentulous spaces, using crowns. However, a comprehensive study that presents an overview of bibliometric factors related to the characteristics of this type of rehabilitation on teeth or implant is still lacking.
Objective: The purpose of this bibliometric study was to assess the review progress of papers in the field of CAD/CAM single prostheses regarding bibliometric parameters of year, framework material, technology, retention, and impression.
This study aimed to assess the biomechanical behavior of reinforcement materials [cobalt chromium alloy (CoCr) and carbon fiber-reinforced polyether ether ketone (CFR-PEEK)] and their extensions (short: 15 mm and long: 25 mm) of single implant-retained mandibular overdentures (MO-1) by 3D finite element analysis (FEA), comparing them with MO-1 without a framework. Five models (CoCr-Short, CFR-PEEK-Short, CoCr-Long, CFR-PEEK-Long, and no framework) were created using the McNeel Rhinoceros 3D software, version 7.0.
