The LLaMA family, a collection of foundation language models ranging from 7B to 65B parameters, has become one of the most powerful open-source large language models (LLMs) and the popular LLM backbone of multi-modal large language models (MLLMs), widely used in computer vision and natural language understanding tasks. In particular, LLaMA3 models have recently been released and have achieved impressive performance in various domains with super-large scale pre-training on over 15T tokens of data. Given the wide application of low-bit quantization for LLMs in resource-constrained scenarios, we explore LLaMA3's capabilities when quantized to low bit-width.

- - Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are traumatic events that can affect health, and this review explored how they connect to oral health in children and adolescents aged 0 to 19.
- - The study included 12 research papers that looked at various ACEs like neglect and violence, finding strong correlations between ACEs and oral health issues, such as toothaches and lower dental service utilization.
- - It was noted that experiencing more than three ACEs led to worse oral health outcomes, but the evidence about these associations was of varying quality, ranging from low to very low.
Biodegradable magnesium is a highly desired material for fracture fixation implants because of its good mechanical properties and ability to completely dissolve in the body over time, eliminating the need for a secondary surgery to remove the implant. Despite extensive research on these materials, there remains a dearth of information regarding critical factors that affect implant performance in clinical applications, such as the pH and mechanical loading conditions. We developed a measurement system with implantable strain, temperature, pH and motion sensors to characterize magnesium and titanium plates, fixating bilateral zygomatic arch osteotomies in three Swiss alpine sheep for eight weeks.

Materials And Methods: Searches were conducted in 6 databases for inclusion of clinical studies. Risk of bias was assessed (RoB 2 and ROBINS-I), a meta-analysis was performed with data from time of carious tissue removal (TCTR), and the certainty of evidence was estimated.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to determine whether tapered or cylindrical dental implants perform better clinically, addressing the lack of consensus in this area.
- - A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted, involving 18 studies and evaluating various clinical performance metrics like implant survival and marginal bone loss while assessing the risk of bias.
- - The results showed no significant differences in clinical outcomes between tapered and cylindrical implants across several parameters, although some studies had varying levels of bias.
