Article Synopsis
- * Results indicated that certain tests, particularly cardiac biomarkers, blood gases, and specific drug levels, were perceived to pose a higher risk for patient harm due to erroneous results.
- * There was strong agreement (91%) between medical biochemists and clinicians regarding the severity scores, highlighting the tests that require focused quality improvement efforts.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated two different durations of continuous phototherapy (24 hours vs. 18 hours) for jaundiced newborns without hyperbilirubinemia neurotoxicity risks to find an effective treatment protocol without constant bilirubin monitoring.
- Results showed that while the 24-hour treatment led to a greater overall decline in total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels, the 18-hour treatment demonstrated a faster rate of TSB reduction per hour.
- The findings suggest that an 18-hour phototherapy course may be more effective for these newborns, as it reaches optimal outcomes by the 18th hour without need for continuous TSB measurement.
The problem of loss of strength caused by the conversion reaction with calcium aluminate cements (CAC) is well known. It has been shown that the addition of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) to CAC inhibits the conversion process. Different slags can have a different chemical and mineralogical composition depending on their origin and production process, which can significantly influence their reactivity.

Its anti-fibrotic effect has been experimentally demonstrated in the pancreas and liver. This study aims to determine the anti-proliferative effect of resveratrol on fibroblasts obtained from hyperplastic gingival tissues from a patient diagnosed with Juvenile Hyaline Fibromatosis (JHF).

Gingival fibroblasts of patients with GO were compared to healthy gingival fibroblasts (H). Both cells were exposed to LLLT (685 nm wavelength, 25mW power, diode laser) and compared to those not treated with LLLT.
