A cluster randomized trial of xylitol chewing gum for prevention of preterm birth: The PPaX trial.

Background: Maternal periodontal disease is associated with preterm and low-birthweight deliveries, but randomized trials of likely efficacious treatments (e.g., dental scaling and root planing) during pregnancy have not reduced these adverse outcomes.

Imaging in patients with glioblastoma: A national cohort study.

Background: Glioblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor in adults and has a poor prognosis. This cohort of patients is diverse and imaging is vital to formulate treatment plans. Despite this, there is relatively little data on patterns of use of imaging and imaging workload in routine practice.

Characterisation of isocitrate dehydrogenase gene mutant WHO grade 2 and 3 gliomas: MRI predictors of 1p/19q co-deletion and tumour grade.

Aim: To identify imaging predictors of molecular subtype and tumour grade in patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene mutant (IDH) World Health Organization (WHO) grade 2 or 3 gliomas.

Materials And Methods: Patients with histologically confirmed WHO grade 2 or 3 IDH gliomas between 2016 and 2019 were included in the study. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images were evaluated for the presence or absence of potential imaging predictors of tumour subtype, such as T2/fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) signal match, and these factors were examined using regression analysis.

European Society of Emergency Radiology: guideline on radiological polytrauma imaging and service (short version).

Background: Although some national recommendations for the role of radiology in a polytrauma service exist, there are no European guidelines to date. Additionally, for many interdisciplinary guidelines, radiology tends to be under-represented. These factors motivated the European Society of Emergency Radiology (ESER) to develop radiologically-centred polytrauma guidelines.
