Psoriasis plaque severity metrics, such as induration (thickness), erythema (redness), and desquamation (scaliness), are associated with the subsequent development of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) among cutaneous-only psoriasis patients (patients with skin or nail psoriasis but no psoriatic arthritis). These metrics can be used for PsA screening. However, a key challenge in PsA screening is to optimize accessibility and minimize costs for patients, while also reducing the burden on healthcare systems.

Article Synopsis
- Endoscopic vein harvest is a technique for creating brachial-basilic arteriovenous fistulas, and its use is not widespread despite its benefits, particularly in patients with obesity.
- A study evaluated this method in 11 patients, mostly overweight or obese, finding a 100% technical success rate and a maturation rate of 100%, with all dialysis-required patients successfully accessing their fistulas.
- At the one-year mark, patency rates were impressive, sitting at 90% for primary assisted and 100% for secondary, highlighting that this approach is effective even for patients with medical challenges like hypertension and diabetes.
MRI is a noninvasive, ionizing radiation-free imaging modality that has become an indispensable medical diagnostic method. The literature suggests MRI as a potential diagnostic modality in dentomaxillofacial radiology. However, current MRI equipment is designed for medical imaging (eg, brain and body imaging), with general-purpose use in radiology.

Article Synopsis
- This bibliometric analysis focused on studies regarding cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) published from 2011 to 2022, examining their characteristics, trends, and diagnostic effectiveness.
- The study found that most articles came from South Korea and Brazil, with Bong-Hae Cho and Yun-Hoa Jung being the top authors; the majority of publications were cross-sectional and laboratory-based, often discussing diagnostic capabilities.
- The analysis indicates a growing interest in CBCT research, primarily related to diagnosing pathologies in the oral and maxillofacial region, with most studies rated as high as level 2 in diagnostic efficacy.
