Objective: This study aimed to correlate the bite/occlusal force measurements obtained through two methods: a hydraulic pressure gauge with a biting transducer (GM-10), and a computer-assisted device that records occlusal force on a pressure-sensitive film (Prescale II).
Methods: Healthy, dentate volunteers were recruited. Participants' demographic data included age, sex, number of teeth present, presence of oral pain, history of prior orthodontic treatment and presence of parafunction.

Article Synopsis
- The study looked at the risks of retinal detachment (RD) after a specific eye surgery called Boston Type 1 Keratoprosthesis (B1KPro) during the first year and beyond.
- They found that 29% of patients experienced RD, with most cases happening within the first year (21%) and fewer later (7%).
- Important risk factors for early RD included low eye pressure (hypotony), previous eye surgeries, and certain eye conditions, while changes in the retina before surgery were linked to later RD.
To assess intraocular pressure (IOP) changes and complications after XEN45 implants in medically controlled eyes (MCE) vs. medically uncontrolled eyes (MUE). A retrospective study, in a tertiary referral hospital, on mild-to-moderate primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) cases under topical medication, including 32 eyes with IOP < 21 mmHg (MCE group) and 30 eyes with IOP ≥ 21 mmHg (MUE group).

Fast-acting carbohydrates, also known as hypoglycemic treatments (HT), can counteract this event. In the literature, dosage and timing of HT are usually based on heuristic rules.
