Dental restoration success relies on the physical properties of luting cements. Luting cements fill the space between teeth and the restoration, provide retention and protection from occlusal forces, and act as a barrier to microleakages in the oral environment. This review aims to evaluate and compare the solubility of the three most used dental luting cements: glass ionomer (GI), resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI), and resin cement (RC).

However, there is a paucity of data regarding the specific location of angioembolization within the hepatic arterial vasculature and its implications on patient outcomes.
Methods: A post-hoc analysis of a multicenter prospective observational study across 23 centers was performed.
Background: Prior studies evaluating observation versus angioembolization (AE) for blunt liver injuries (BLT) with contrast extravasation (CE) on computed tomography imaging have yielded inconsistent conclusions, primarily due to limitations in single-center and/or retrospective study design. Therefore, this multicenter study aims to compare an observation versus AE-first approach for BLT, hypothesizing decreased liver-related complications (LRCs) with observation.
Methods: We conducted a post hoc analysis of a multicenter, prospective observational study (2019-2021) across 23 centers.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the impact of illicit substance use during pregnancy, noting a 4-fold increase over two decades and its negative effects on mothers and fetuses.
- A multicenter retrospective analysis from 2016 to 2021 included 852 pregnant trauma patients (PTPs), with 9.8% testing positive for substances, primarily THC and methamphetamine.
- Findings showed that PTPs with positive urine toxicology had higher rates of blunt head injuries, extremity injuries, domestic violence incidents, and uterine contractions, but similar maternal complication rates compared to those who tested negative.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the timing of tube thoracostomy (TT) removal after surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) and its relation to the need for subsequent thoracic reinterventions in blunt trauma patients.
- Out of 133 patients analyzed between 2018 and 2023, 17.3% required thoracic reinterventions, and these patients had higher injury severity scores and longer TT durations.
- The findings indicate that TT output before removal did not predict the need for reintervention, suggesting that there may not be a specific output threshold to guide the timing of TT removal after SSRF.
