Variations in Root Canal Morphology of Mandibular Incisors in a North Indian SubPopulation: A Retrospective Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Analysis.

Background: There is a high failure rate of endodontic treatment in the mandibular incisors due to insufficient knowledge of the morphology.

Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze the root canal morphology in mandibular incisor teeth in the North Indian subpopulation to improve the outcome of endodontic treatment.

Setting And Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the OPD of a tertiary care institute.

Semaglutide vs Tirzepatide for Weight Loss in Adults With Overweight or Obesity.

Importance: Although tirzepatide and semaglutide were shown to reduce weight in randomized clinical trials, data from head-to-head comparisons in populations with overweight or obesity are not yet available.

Objective: To compare on-treatment weight loss and rates of gastrointestinal adverse events (AEs) among adults with overweight or obesity receiving tirzepatide or semaglutide labeled for type 2 diabetes (T2D) in a clinical setting.

Design, Setting, And Participants: In this cohort study, adults with overweight or obesity receiving semaglutide or tirzepatide between May 2022 and September 2023 were identified using electronic health record (EHR) data linked to dispensing information from a collective of US health care systems.

Clinical performance of various bonding agents in noncarious cervical defects.

Aim: Four bonding agents and a composite restorative resin were evaluated in patients having noncarious cervical defects.

Materials And Methods: This clinical trial was conducted in patients having at least 4 noncarious cervical defects in posterior teeth evaluating the clinical effectiveness in relation to retention, discoloration at margins, and postoperative sensitivity of 5, 6, 7, and 8 generations of bonding agents over a period of baseline, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months.

Statistical Analysis: Data were recorded and put into statistical analysis using Chi-square tests.

Automated Identification of Patients with Advanced Illness.

Early identification of advanced illness patients within an inpatient population is essential in order to establish the patient's goals of care. Having goals of care conversations enables hospital patients to dictate a plan for care in concordance with their values and wishes. These conversations allow a patient to maintain some control, rather than be subjected to a default care process that may not be desired and may not provide benefit.

Early Experience With Neutralizing Monoclonal Antibody Therapy for COVID-19: Retrospective Cohort Survival Analysis and Descriptive Study.

Background: Neutralizing monoclonal antibody (MAB) therapies may benefit patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 at high risk for progressing to severe COVID-19 or hospitalization. Studies documenting approaches to deliver MAB infusions and demonstrating their efficacy are lacking.

Objective: We describe our experience and the outcomes of almost 3000 patients who received MAB infusion therapy at Northwell Health, a large integrated health care system in New York.

Design, development, and deployment of an indication- and kidney function-based decision support tool to optimize treatment and reduce medication dosing errors.

Delivering clinical decision support (CDS) at the point of care has long been considered a major advantage of computerized physician order entry (CPOE). Despite the widespread implementation of CPOE, medication ordering errors and associated adverse events still occur at an unacceptable level. Previous attempts at indication- and kidney function-based dosing have mostly employed intrusive CDS, including interruptive alerts with poor usability.

Oral Hygiene Practices and Dentition Status of Public Transport Workers of India- A Cross-sectional Study.

Objectives: To evaluate the oral hygiene practices and dentition statuses of transport workers who were working in a public bus transport system (C.T.U.

Hemangiopericytoma associated with multiple keratocystic odontogenic tumors in an adolescent patient: a case report.

Hemangiopericytoma, initially described by Stout and Murray in 1942 (1), is a rare vascular tumor arising from mesenchymal cells with pericytic differentiation. Hemangiopericytomas usually occur in the 5th decade of life and account for 3-5% of all soft tissue sarcomas and 1% of all vascular tumors (2). The tumor usually occurs in the limbs, pelvis, or head and neck region; 15-30% of all hemangiopericytomas occur in the head and neck (2,3).
