Article Synopsis
- Ridge preservation is important for maintaining alveolar ridge volume and improving dental implant outcomes, and this study investigates the effect of adding hyaluronic acid to allografts used for this purpose.
- In a study of 40 patients, those receiving allogeneic bone substitutes with hyaluronic acid experienced significantly less vertical height loss and graft shrinkage compared to those who received allografts without it.
- The findings indicate that adding hyaluronic acid to allografts leads to better graft stability and increased bone density, enhancing the success of ridge preservation after tooth extraction.
Given the evolution of human body dimensions, the increasing diversity within the law enforcement workforce, the growing risks of assault faced by law enforcement officers (LEOs), and the absence of a national standard for body armor sizing, there is a critical need to explore LEO body size classification. This exploration will facilitate the development of an armor sizing structure that adequately accommodates the current LEO population. This study aimed to address this need by developing a LEO body armor sizing scheme and creating a sizing chart/app.

Background: Anthropometrically accurate digital LEO body models, representing the United States LEOs, for computerized LEO cruiser interface simulations are lacking.
Methods: Twenty body dimensions (with and without gear combined) of 756 male and 218 female LEOs were collected through a stratified national survey using a data collection trailer that traveled across the US.
When developing artificial intelligence (AI) software for applications in radiology, the underlying research must be transferable to other real-world problems. To verify to what degree this is true, we reviewed research on AI algorithms for computed tomography of the head. A systematic review was conducted according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

The current study analyzed the fall protection performance of Type I industrial helmets and evaluated if the use of a chin strap and the suspension system tightness have any effect on protection performance. Head impact tests were performed using an instrumented manikin.
