Unlabelled: The amount of residual dentin thickness and tooth position in the dental arch is crucial to determine whether an intraradicular post should be used. This study aimed to compare stress distribution on the root dentin of an endodontically treated tooth rehabilitated with CAD/CAM milled glass fiber posts (MP), cast metal posts (CMP), or prefabricated posts (PP) with or without ferrule support, using the finite element method.
Materials And Methods: A human upper central incisor was selected, scanned, and treated endodontically.
Importance: The psychological morbidity experienced by physicians, advanced practice practitioners (APPs), and nurses from working during the COVID-19 pandemic includes burnout, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Objective: To investigate whether psilocybin therapy could improve symptoms of depression, burnout, and PTSD in US clinicians who developed these symptoms from frontline clinical work during the pandemic.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This double-blind randomized clinical trial enrolled participants from February to December 2022.
Article Synopsis
- Understanding the patient journey for those with melanoma is crucial, especially regarding gender differences, to find ways to enhance their experience.
- A survey conducted with adults suffering from advanced melanoma at three Swiss centers helped gather insights on their perceptions of healthcare from diagnosis to treatment.
- Key findings highlighted the importance of better communication about testing and revealed significant gender differences in information needs, treatment preferences, and attitudes towards psychological support.
Purpose: Evaluate the relationship between first and second-line medication dosing and progression to refractory status epilepticus (RSE) in children.
Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from September 2014 to February 2020 of children with status epilepticus (SE) who received at least two antiseizure medications (ASMs). We evaluated the risk of developing RSE after receiving a low total benzodiazepine dose (lower than 100 % of the minimum recommended dose for each benzodiazepine dose administered within 10 min) and a low first non-benzodiazepine ASM dose (lower than 100 % of the minimum recommended dose of non-benzodiazepine ASM given as the first single-dose) using a logistic regression model, adjusting for confounders such as time to ASMs.
Article Synopsis
- Many nursing faculty are nearing retirement, making it essential to prepare PhD students for tenure-track positions through leadership in team-based science during their studies.
- The study describes PhD students leading an independent research project that integrates scholarship, teaching, and service, while also recommending strategies for schools of nursing and potential funders.
- The results showed that students gained experience in conducting independent research, mentoring, and building clinical partnerships, emphasizing the importance of time management and collaboration.
