Objective: To assess the diagnostic validity of ICDAS clinical criteria on 3D dental models from intraoral scanning.

Methods: This is a retrospective analysis on part of the baseline sample collected in a cohort study and included 73 participants (12-19 years) from Denmark and Greece. The assessment was made by visual inspection, and then by visual inspection associated with radiographs.

The professional perception of the International Caries Classification and Management System (ICCMS): a pragmatic randomised clinical trial.

Introduction The International Caries Classification and Management System (ICCMS) was developed to standardise caries diagnosis, risk assessment and treatment decisions based on overall evidence. To evaluate its criteria in practice, a clinical trial assessed professionals' perceptions of two caries management systems.Methods A perception questionnaire was administered to two groups: one using ICCMS criteria and the other based on professional experience criteria (non-ICCMS group).

Fibrinogen contribution to clot strength in patients with sepsis and hematologic malignancies and thrombocytopenia-a prospective, single-center, analytical, cross-sectional study.

Background: Patients with hematological malignancies (HM) frequently present thrombocytopenia and higher risk of bleeding. Although transfusion is associated with higher risk of adverse events and poor outcomes, prophylactic transfusion of platelets is a common practice to prevent hemorrhagic complications. Thromboelastometry has been considered a better predictor for bleeding than isolated platelet counts in different settings.

Needle Arthroscopy of the Scapulohumeral Joint and Bicipital BURSA in Horses: An Ex Vivo Study.

To evaluate the feasibility of performing needle arthroscopy of the scapulohumeral joint and bicipital bursa in standing horses by using the thoracic limbs of euthanized horses. To that purpose, this experimental study was designed. Ten thoracic limbs, five left and five right from euthanized horses were retained in an upright position to simulate a standing horse.
