Background: A subgroup of CHDs can only be treated palliatively through a Fontan circulation. In case of a failing Fontan situation, serum proteins are lost unspecifically and can also lead to a loss of vaccine antibodies. In a failing Fontan situation, heart transplantation may be the only feasible option.

Background: The correlation between the three-dimensional spatial representation (3DSR) abilities, specifically involving spatial orientation, spatial visualisation and spatial relationship, and the performance in exercises related to preclinical practical exams in fixed prosthodontics and removable partial denture is not studied.

Objective: Assess the correlation between the 3DSR abilities and the performance in exercises related to preclinical practical exams in fixed prosthodontics and removable partial denture carried out by second and third year dental students.

Materials And Methods: The 3DSR abilities (spatial orientation, spatial visualisation and spatial relationship) and the scores of preclinical practical exams in prosthetics were tested on 187 students.

Article Synopsis
  • The study assessed the effectiveness of the Apple Watch® in measuring transcutaneous oxygen saturation in children with cyanotic heart disease during a six-minute walk test.
  • Results showed that the Apple Watch® successfully measured saturation in most children, but was only reliable for those with higher saturation levels (above 85%).
  • The findings suggest using the Apple Watch® for monitoring oxygen saturation in children with mild cyanosis, but it is not recommended for those with moderate or severe cyanosis due to unreliable results.

Aim: The rate of surgical recurrence following ileorectal anastomosis (IRA) in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) remains poorly understood. Most studies were conducted before the advent of biologics. Our aim was to assess the fate of IRA in patients with CD during the biologics era and identify risk factors for endoscopic, clinical, and surgical recurrence.
