Article Synopsis
- Maintaining pulp vitality is vital, but treatment options for large lesions may jeopardize the health of affected teeth; many clinicians are not familiar with the latest American Association of Endodontists (AAE) guidelines, which can impact their treatment decisions.
- A qualitative survey involving 120 dental professionals (endodontists, surgeons, and general practitioners) assessed their approaches to a structured case scenario to determine variations in their management practices and knowledge of AAE guidelines.
- The study revealed significant differences in decision-making between professional groups, suggesting that while endodontists and general dentists are generally aware of AAE guidelines, other specialties may not be as familiar, highlighting the need for more randomized clinical trials to improve management strategies for teeth linked to large cyst
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, autoimmune condition that primarily affects the myelin sheath covering the neurons of the central nervous system, including those of the brain and spinal cord. Although the etiology is not completely understood, various factors, such as genetic infections and environmental background, play a role in the pathogenesis. Repeated active episodes of MS characterized with marked inflammation results in the scarring of particular nerve segments, and eventually results in functional impairment over a period of time.

Each cell phone tower is unique in terms of number of antennas and its associated attributes; thus, the radiation exposure varies from one tower to another. Hence, a standardized method for quantifying the exposure is beneficial while studying the effects of radiation on the human population residing around the cell phone towers.

We present our case, a 57-year-old male with an incidental woven coronary artery anomaly found during work-up investigations for a possible lung transplant, and we conduct a literature review on woven anomaly cases reported from 1988 to 2021 and provide a thorough analysis of its diversified clinical presentation. Imaging identification and various treatment modalities are also discussed.
