The objective of this study was to evaluate the facial profile changes of patients treated for class II skeletal malocclusions with an elastodontic appliance compared to those treated with the Herbst appliance and a control group. Forty class II patients were treated using an elastodontic appliance (Group EA) and were compared to 40 patients treated with the Herbst appliance (Group H) and to 40 untreated class II children (Group C). Aesthetic profile variables were analysed using Arnett's analysis.

- Over two decades, initiatives have aimed to enhance STEM undergraduate outcomes, with the inclusive Research Education Community (iREC) emerging as a scalable reform model that supports STEM faculty in implementing course-based research to improve student learning.
- This study utilized pathway modeling to describe the HHMI Science Education Alliance (SEA) iREC, identifying how faculty engagement leads to sustainable adoption and improvement of new teaching strategies through feedback from over 100 participating faculty members.
- The findings indicate that iREC fosters a collaborative environment where STEM faculty can share expertise and data, thereby enhancing their teaching practices and contributing to the overall evolution of undergraduate science education.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the pain relief effects of five different combined oral contraceptives (COCs) in women suffering from endometriosis-related chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and dyspareunia.
- Conducted between October 2018 and March 2023, the research involved tracking pain levels using a visual analogue scale over 6 months across multiple treatment groups.
- Results indicated that COCs with estradiol (E2) or estetrol (E4) led to significantly better pain relief compared to those with ethinylestradiol (EE), and E2 or E4-containing COCs may be preferable alternatives to dienogest (DNG) for women preferring birth control.
Article Synopsis
- * ET/HT can be cautiously used after vulvar cancers, melanoma, and certain endometrial cancers, while more caution is needed with adenocarcinomas and uterine sarcomas.
- * For breast cancer survivors, ET/HT is likely safe after ER/PR-negative cancers but should be applied carefully after ER/PR-positive cases.
Article Synopsis
- - Bacteriophage GiJojo is a type of myovirus that was discovered in soil and specifically targets the bacteria NRRL B-2400.
- - It has a genome that is 115,161 base pairs long, comprising 180 genes and 29 transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules.
