Are YouTube™ and TikTok™ videos useful as educational tool for patients with cleft lip and palate?

Objective: To evaluate the quality of YouTube™ and TikTok™ videos as educational tools for patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) as regards their care, and multidisciplinary treatment.

Methods: Videos were searched on YouTube™ and TikTok™ using four keywords. The reliability and quality of the first 60 videos for each keyword and platform were analyzed.

Acquired : Current Concepts - "From Adult Acquired to Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity".

The clinical disorder traditionally known as or has been the subject of several publications over the past two decades. Now, it is understood that the problem does not lie in the posterior tibial tendon per se and may even occur without tendon injury. Studies have brought new concepts and understanding that question the views on this subject, culminating in the replacement of existing classifications with one that is more assertive and discriminative of the potential presentation patterns of the deformity.

Intranasal influenza-vectored vaccine expressing pneumococcal surface protein A protects against Influenza and Streptococcus pneumoniae infections.

Streptococcus pneumoniae and influenza A virus (IAV) are significant agents of pneumonia cases and severe respiratory infections globally. Secondary bacterial infections, particularly by Streptococcus pneumoniae, are common in IAV-infected individuals, leading to critical outcomes. Despite reducing mortality, pneumococcal vaccines have high production costs and are serotype specific.

Effects of a pre-enlargement on fracture incidence of reused reciprocating instruments: A clinical study.

This study assessed the impact of pre-enlarging the root canal using a size 25 K-file on the fracture incidence of three reciprocating instruments after multiple uses. After a glide path performed with a size 15 K-file, the instruments (Reciproc R25, Reciproc Blue R25, and WaveOne Gold Primary) were initially used in 936 root canals. Then, for the second and third uses (933 and 927, respectively), a pre-enlargement using a size 25 K-file at the working length was done.
