Introduction: The objective of this bibliometric review is to address the main trends and development in dental whitening throughout the 21st century, as well as to identify knowledge gaps on the subject.
Method: A search was conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection database and information was extracted regarding the journal, authors, keywords, year of publication, number of citations, country, continent of the corresponding author. After reading the articles, data such as study design, type of bleaching technique, types of light sources used with the bleaching, occurrence of tooth sensitivity, and tooth color change analysis method were extracted.

Most patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are non-ambulant. Preserving proximal motor function is crucial, rarely studied. Tamoxifen, a selective oestrogen receptor modulator, reduced signs of muscular pathology in a DMD mouse model.

In addition, we suggest reducing and reformulating the questionnaire for screening.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 31 transgender men aged 18-50 years undergoing hormone therapy who answered a questionnaire adapted from the Transgender Woman Voice Questionnaire, validated in Portuguese.
Article Synopsis
- Understanding how transgender youth cope with stress can help develop strategies to improve their quality of life.
- The study analyzed 185 Brazilian transgender youth, revealing that better quality of life correlated with social support and that avoidance coping styles were linked to lower quality of life regarding general stress.
- It found no connection between coping strategies for gender-related stress and quality of life, suggesting that improving gender-related distress may require different approaches beyond just coping skills.
Purpose: To describe a novel bailout technique to approach below-the-ankle (BTA) chronic total occlusions or plantar-arch severe disease where the balloon/catheter is unable to follow the crossing guidewire and no other described recanalization approach is feasible.
Technique: When facing a complex BTA revascularization, if the guidewire crosses but the balloon cannot progress due to a lack of pushability, an antegrade puncture of the infrapopliteal vessel where the tip of the guidewire lays is performed. The guidewire is then carefully navigated through this distal BTA vessel into the needle to achieve its rendezvous and externalization.
