Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the reliability of a modified three-stage cervical vertebrae maturation method for measuring skeletal growth in both males and females.
- 137 orthodontic patients' lateral cephalometric radiographs were analyzed by four examiners, who categorized the images into pre-peak, peak, and post-peak stages based on cervical vertebrae morphology.
- Results indicated good overall reliability, with particularly high agreement in the post-peak stage, although males exhibited stronger reliability than females during the peak stage of maturation.
Article Synopsis
- Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLC) is a rare type of liver cancer caused by a fusion of specific genes.
- Researchers found that in FLC, there is a higher ratio of active protein to regulatory proteins, which can cause the cancer to grow and spread.
- Changes in how a protein called PKA works and where it is located in the cell are more important for this cancer than the specific gene fusion itself.
Background: Ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) is a fertility preservation method that has been clinically applied for almost 30 years. Studies specifically evaluating patients presenting with non-malignant indications for OTC and their subsequent pregnancy rates are limited.
Objective: To summarise the evidence on the rates of successful pregnancy amongst women who have undergone OTC for non-malignant indications.
Purpose: We describe the prevalence of the Edmonton Classification System for Cancer Pain (ECS-CP) features in patients with bone metastasis and cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP) and the relationship between ECS-CP features, pain intensity, and opioid consumption.
Methods: We assessed ECS-CP features and recoded pain mechanisms and opioid use in adult patients with bone metastasis. Validated measures were used to assess pain intensity, incident pain, psychological distress, addictive behavior, and cognition.
(1) Background: Tooth agenesis is one of the most common developmental dental anomalies often affecting the maxillary incisors area and premolar regions. (2) Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and distribution of permanent tooth agenesis and the associated dental abnormalities among orthodontically treated children. (3) Materials and Methods: This study was carried out utilizing 3000 pretreatment records of children who underwent orthodontic treatment, 1780 (59%) females and 1220 (41%) males, aged 10-25 years (mean age 15 years).
