Highly-filled flowable composite in deep margin elevation: FEA study obtained from a microCT real model.

Objectives: To evaluate shear stress (SS) and normal pressure (NP) at the tooth-restoration interface of highly-filled flowable resin composite applied to deep margin elevation technique through FEM analysis generated by a microCT scan.

Methods: A reference maxillary molar with two class II cavities was prepared according to deep margin elevation protocol. A geometrical model was segmented from a micro-CT scan generating separate volumes of enamel, dentin and restorative materials.

Intervention Adherence and Self-Efficacy as Predictors of Child Outcomes in School Nurse-Delivered Interventions for Anxiety.

This study examined the association between two implementation factors, nurse-reported intervention adherence and self-efficacy, and children's outcomes in school nurse-delivered anxiety interventions. Data were collected in a pilot randomized controlled effectiveness trial with 54 children and 21 school nurses. Nurses implemented either a cognitive behavioral or relaxation-skills-only intervention.

Concordance between clinician, supervisor and observer ratings of therapeutic competence in CBT and treatment as usual: does clinician competence or supervisor session observation improve agreement?

Background: Lowering the cost of assessing clinicians' competence could promote the scalability of evidence-based treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

Aims: This study examined the concordance between clinicians', supervisors' and independent observers' session-specific ratings of clinician competence in school-based CBT and treatment as usual (TAU). It also investigated the association between clinician competence and supervisory session observation and rater agreement.

A pilot RCT of a school nurse delivered intervention to reduce student anxiety.

The goal of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and impact of brief school-nurse-administered interventions for reducing anxiety. Thirty school nurses in Connecticut and Maryland were randomly assigned to deliver the Child Anxiety Learning Modules (CALM; = 14) or CALM-Relaxation only (CALM-R; = 16). Students ( = 54) were ages 5-12 ( age = 8; 84.

Effects of aerobic or resistance exercise training on cardiovascular autonomic function of subjects with type 2 diabetes: A pilot study.

Background And Aims: Both aerobic (AER) and resistance (RES) training improve metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). However, information on the effects of these training modalities on cardiovascular autonomic control is limited. Our aim was to compare the effects of AER and RES training on cardiovascular autonomic function in these subjects.
