Aims: To investigate caregiver-reported dental care experiences and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of children and young people with cerebral palsy (CP).
Methods: Between May and August 2023, caregivers of children and young people from three Australian states were invited to complete questionnaires, including the Child Oral Health Impact Profile (COHIP-SF 19).
Results: Sixty-eight caregivers participated in the survey.
Background: TRK-inhibitors have demonstrated efficacy across several cancers with NTRK fusions. Their activity in cancers with NTRK overexpression remains unclear.
Methods: This trial enrolled patients with advanced cancers harboring NTRK fusions or extreme mRNA overexpression, defined as NTRK1/2/3 expression by RNA profiling >5 SDs for a given cancer type.
Background: Middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) is a safe and effective treatment for chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH); however, the appropriate level of postoperative care is unknown.
Objective: To evaluate whether elective MMAE for cSDH could be safely performed in an outpatient setting.
Methods: This was a multicenter, retrospective study of patients with cSDH who underwent elective MMAE.
Background: Traditional approaches for learning anatomy for curvilinear endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) require learners to mentally visualize structures relative to the position of the bronchoscope. Virtual reality (VR) can demonstrate anatomy from the perspective of bronchoscopic tools.
Research Question: Does the use of a VR anatomy trainer for teaching EBUS-associated anatomy improve procedural performance compared to traditional methods?
Study Design And Methods: In this randomized, cross-over study design, subjects studied EBUS-related anatomy during two sequential sessions using a VR trainer and a traditional modality (two-dimensional pictures (2D) or a three-dimensional model (3D)).
