Objectives: To determine Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex (DMER) incidence. Secondary objectives were to describe the symptom profiles and patient characteristics of DMER and assess DMER familiarity.
Methods: A prospective observational study of people who initiated breastfeeding after delivery between December 2022 and May 2023 at two hospitals in New York.
The aim of this short communication is to present a technique to rehabilitate severely discolored teeth with computer-aided designed and computer-aided manufactured (CAD-CAM) zirconia crowns. After confirming the absence of periapical lesions and sufficient crown structure, any caries or fractured restorations can be removed and replaced by an interim composite restoration. A shoulder subgingival preparation is performed and scanned with an intraoral scanner to design a CAD-CAM zirconia crown using a monolithic zirconia material.

- There has been an increase in early onset cancer rates (under 50) since 1995, particularly among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) aged 15-39, who tend to have different types of tumors compared to children and older adults.
- The study analyzed data from January 2016 to December 2021 using the SEER 22 database to assess age-adjusted incidence and mortality rates for various cancers by factors like sex, race, and geographic region.
- Overall cancer incidence and mortality rates remained stable during this period, with a decline in certain cancers (e.g., ependymoma and melanoma) and increases in others (e.g., gastrointestinal cancers), highlighting the unique cancer trends and health issues faced

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of switching from high nicotine cigarettes to very low nicotine content (VLNC) cigarettes among Black and White smokers with lower socioeconomic status and mental health issues.
- Data from two clinical trials showed that both groups experienced significant reductions in nicotine levels and toxic exposure when using VLNC cigarettes compared to usual nicotine content (UNC) cigarettes.
- The results indicate that reduced nicotine regulation could lead to a notable decrease in nicotine and harmful substances for smokers, regardless of race, although differences in cotinine levels were noted between the groups.
