Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare sleep patterns and early neurodevelopment between preterm infants who received caffeine and those who did not.
  • Twenty-eight preterm infants were monitored for their sleep using actigraphy and polysomnography, and their neurodevelopment was evaluated with standardized tools at 6 months of corrected age.
  • Results showed no significant differences in sleep or neurodevelopment outcomes between the caffeine and no-caffeine groups, and actigraphy proved to be an effective method for assessing sleep patterns in infants.

This study aimed to compare the antibacterial efficacy of standard needle irrigation (SNI), EDDY, passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), photon-induced photoacoustic streaming (PIPS), and shock wave enhanced emission photoacoustic streaming (SWEEPS) activation on the teeth with simulated internal root resorption (IRR) and contaminated with Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) analyses. A total of 79 human maxillary central incisors with a single canal were selected.

Objective: Objective methods to monitor the sleep of preterm infants at the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are required to prevent potentially adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. This study aimed to determine the concordance of actigraphy and amplitude-integrated electroencephalogram (aEEG) against gold standard direct observation (DO) in assessing sleep/wake states of typically developing preterm infants.

Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in a single center level III NICU.

Objective: Publications on vaccine hesitancy and the novel coronavirus disease 2019 in the scientific literature are increasing every day. An examination of their content will help to eliminate the existing negativity related to vaccine hesitancy through scientific methods. Hence, a systematic approach to the prevention of vaccine hesitancy worldwide can be developed.

We investigated age differences in mental time travel by comparing young, middle-aged and older adults, with equal number of participants in each age decade, from age 22 to 79. Participants generated and phenomenologically rated one experienced and one imagined past event, and two imagined future events. The results showed event type effects with richer phenomenology for experienced than imagined events, but no age group differences.
