Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of chewing sugarless gum (SG) after water-rinsing in removing retained Oreo chocolate cookies (CC) from occlusal surfaces of teeth with and without fissure-sealant (FS).
Methods: A prospective study was performed on healthy children receiving prophylaxis at the paediatric-dentistry department. Immediately afterward, they chewed two CC.

- The International Intestinal Failure Registry (IIFR) studied outcomes of intestinal failure in a large pediatric group, focusing on identifying factors that affect achieving enteral autonomy within the first year.
- The study involved 189 patients, primarily with short bowel syndrome, and found that 51.6% achieved early enteral autonomy, while 6.5% died; key findings showed that having an ostomy increased the time needed for enteral autonomy.
- The results suggest that reducing bowel resection and performing ostomy reversal can help children with intestinal failure achieve enteral autonomy more quickly.
Article Synopsis
- This study assessed the impact of the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion on kidney and liver transplant patients from 2007 to 2018, focusing on payer mix and transplant outcomes.
- The analysis showed a slight increase in the percentage of Medicaid beneficiaries on transplant waiting lists, especially in states that expanded Medicaid coverage.
- While the association of Medicaid insurance with successful transplants decreased over time for kidney patients, it improved for liver patients; however, Medicaid recipients faced higher risks of graft failure regardless of time.
