White epidermoid cyst of brainstem.

White epidermoid cysts are rare intra-cranial lesions with an intrinsic brainstem location, though still rare. The location of the tumour poses radiological confusion and a therapeutic dilemma. Neuroimaging techniques like MRI with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in this case proved a useful tool in ruling out other pathologies at this location with certain morphologic similarities.

GIRFT and Measuring Outcomes in MCNs: endodontics in 646 teeth treated in Tier 2 (Primary Care) and Tier 3 (Secondary Care) settings in England.

Aim: This paper aims to assess the complexity, quality and outcome of endodontic treatment provided in Managed Clinical Networks (MCNs) in England to understand if we are "getting it right first time" (GIRFT).

Methods: In a convenient sample of endodontic treatments provided between May 2011 and April 2017, the complexity of teeth treated, the quality of treatment procedure, the radiographic appearance of root fillings, as well as clinical and radiographic healing were retrospectively assessed using records taken as part of treatment. Trained, calibrated examiners independently scored radiographs using previously published scoring systems.

"I care about sex, I care about my health": A mixed-methods pre-test of a HIV prevention mobile health app for Black women in the southern United States.

Background: Black women experience higher rates of adverse sexual and reproductive health and HIV outcomes, however the use of mHealth to address these health disparities in this population has been inadequate. This study involved a one-month pre-test with Black women living in metro-Atlanta to evaluate the usability, acceptability, and engagement of an HIV prevention app SavvyHER.

Methods: An explanatory mixed-methods design was employed in which quantitative data was collected through weekly cross-sectional surveys, and qualitative data was collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews.

Digital Health App to Address Disparate HIV Outcomes Among Black Women Living in Metro-Atlanta: Protocol for a Multiphase, Mixed Methods Pilot Feasibility Study.

Background: Cisgender Black women in the southern United States are at heightened risk for HIV and adverse sexual and reproductive health outcomes. Mobile health interventions that target HIV risk while being adapted to the needs and lived experiences of Black women are remarkably limited.

Objective: The study aims to refine SavvyHER, a mobile app for HIV prevention, with Black women residing in high HIV incidence areas of Georgia and evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of SavvyHER.

Interactive treatment planning in toothwear: are we doing it right?

Unlabelled: Toothwear is now common, especially in younger patients, with high demand for the restoration of the damaged teeth which is likely to increase further over time. Fixed prosthodontic options range from direct composite resin to conventional tooth preparation and cemented indirect restorations. This paper summarizes the views of a variety of clinicians on a plan delivered to a patient with toothwear in secondary care and explores the possible reasons for the variation in decision-making in the treatment of toothwear.

Avoiding and managing the failure of conventional crowns and bridges.

Unlabelled: The replacement of crowns and bridges is a common procedure for many dental practitioners. When correctly planned and executed, fixed prostheses will provide predictable function, aesthetics and value for money. However, when done poorly, they are more likely to fail prematurely and lead to irreversible damage to the teeth and supporting structures beneath.
