Novel 3-dimensional classification of cervical abrasion using CBCT: A comprehensive analysis.

Introduction: Tooth cervical abrasion (CA) is a prevalent non-carious cervical lesion that poses challenges for accurate diagnosis from periapical radiographs due to difficulties in assessing the lesion's extent, associated bone loss, and pulpal involvement. The presence of overlying bone structures on the palatal side when lesions are located on the buccal side, or vice versa, further complicates radiographic interpretation. So it is important to define the lesions in all three dimensions.

Compound Muscle Action Potential and Myosin-Loss Pathology in Patients With Critical Illness Myopathy: Correlation and Prognostication.

Background And Objectives: Prolonged compound muscle action potential (CMAP) duration and preferential loss of myosin are considered the diagnostic hallmarks of critical illness myopathy (CIM); however, their correlation and prognostic values have not been studied. We aimed to investigate the correlation between CMAP duration and myosin loss and their effect on mortality by comparing between patients with CIM with and without myosin loss.

Methods: We searched the Mayo Clinic Electromyography Laboratory databases (1986-2021) for patients diagnosed with CIM on the basis of prolonged distal CMAP durations (>15 msec in fibular motor nerve studies recording over the tibialis anterior or >8 msec in other motor nerves) and needle EMG findings compatible with myopathy.

Apnea Testing on Conventional Mechanical Ventilation During Brain Death Evaluation.

Introduction: The use of continuous positive airway pressure has been shown to improve the tolerance of the apnea test, a critical component of brain death evaluation. The ability to deactivate the apnea backup setting has made apnea testing possible using several conventional mechanical ventilators. Our goal was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of apnea testing performed on mechanical ventilation, compared with the oxygen insufflation technique, for the determination of brain death.

A comparison study of 68gallium-prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography-computed tomography and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging for locoregional staging of prostate cancer.

Purpose: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common malignancy in men aged 50 years and older and the second cause of cancer death among men. Accurate staging of PCa preoperatively is of high importance for treatment decisions and patient management. Conventional imaging modalities (ultrasound, computed tomography [CT], and magnetic resonance imaging) are inaccurate for the staging of PCa.

Bone augmentation in dental implants among Indian patients.

It is of interest to compare guided bone regeneration (GBR) with titanium mesh, alveolar distraction osteo-genesis (DO), GBR with auto-genous bone and e-PTFE membranes and onlay bone grafts. This helps to restore vertically lacking alveolar ridges and their capacity to sustain the vertical bone growth acquired both prior to and following implant placement. The parameters such as (i) success and survival of dental implants (ii) peri-implant clinical parameters after prosthetic loading at 1 year, 2 year and 3 year follow up (iii) resorption of alveolar ridge regenerated before placement of dental implants and after placement of dental implants were assessed.

Unveiling the Mysteries of a Composite Compound Odontoma: Insights From the Management of a Rare Entity.

Innovative exploration: A comparative study of novel approaches of root canal filling material removal efficiency.

Introduction: Retention of the natural tooth without any symptoms in the oral cavity is one of the prime desires of endodontic treatment. Root canal therapy usually leads to failure when treatment is not up to the mark of acceptable standards. To address these deficiencies, non-surgical endodontic retreatment is the most accepted option with the success rate ranging from 65% to 83%.

Microphysiological systems as reliable drug discovery and evaluation tools: Evolution from innovation to maturity.

Microphysiological systems (MPSs), also known as organ-on-chip or disease-on-chip, have recently emerged to reconstitute the cellular microenvironment of various organs and diseases on platforms. These microfluidics-based platforms are developed to provide reliable drug discovery and regulatory evaluation testbeds. Despite recent emergences and advances of various MPS platforms, their adoption of drug discovery and evaluation processes still lags.

Opportunistic Fungal Invasion in COVID-19 Pandemic: A Critical Review in Diagnosis and Management.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the culprit behind the pandemic across the globe in recent decades. Variants of SARS-CoV especially coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related fungus might not be identified or might be misdiagnosed on a worldwide scale. Patients of COVID-19 acquired invasive mycoses, especially if they are very ill or immunosuppressed.

Intra-articular platelet-rich plasma injection versus hydrocortisone with local anesthetic injections for temporo mandibular disorders.

Disorders of temporomandibular joint (TMDs) are characterised by a variety of symptoms, including discomfort in the orofacial region, muscle tenderness, restricted jaw motion and noise at the joint. Additional neurological symptoms such as headaches, vertigo, heaviness, and altered vision may also coexist with TMDs. Because prostaglandin production is a critical mediator of inflammatory reaction and is inhibited by corticosteroids, they have anti-inflammatory effects.

Septic shock definitions and associated outcomes in blood culture positive critically ill patients.

Background: The proposed definition of septic shock in the Sepsis-3 consensus statement has been previously validated in critically ill patients. However, the subset of critically ill patients with sepsis and positive blood cultures needs further evaluation. To compare the combined (old and new septic shock) versus old definition of septic shock in sepsis patients that have positive blood cultures and are critically ill.

Association of Blood Pressure Variability with Delirium in Patients with Critical Illness.

Background: The objective was to examine the association of blood pressure variability (BPV) during the first 24 h after intensive care unit admission with the likelihood of delirium and depressed alertness without delirium ("depressed alertness").

Methods: This retrospective, observational, cohort study included all consecutive adult patients admitted to an intensive care unit at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, from July 1, 2004, through October 31, 2015. The primary outcomes were delirium and delirium-free days, and the secondary outcomes included depressed alertness and depressed alertness-free days.

Effects of Relative Humidity and Paper Geometry on the Imbibition Dynamics and Reactions in Lateral Flow Assays.

Lateral flow assays and paper microfluidics have the potential to replace benchtop instrumented medical diagnostic systems with instrument-free systems that rely on passive transport of liquid through micro-porous paper substrates. Predicting the imbibition dynamics of liquid through dry paper substrates is mostly modeled through the Lucas-Washburn (LW) equations. However, the LW framework assumes that the fluid front exhibits a sharp boundary between the dry and wet phases across the liquid imbibition interface.

Association of blood pressure variability with short- and long-term cognitive outcomes in patients with critical illness.

Background: Blood pressure variability (BPV), a modifiable risk factor, can compromise cerebral perfusion in critically ill patients. We studied the association between BPV in the intensive care unit (ICU) and short- and long-term cognitive outcomes.

Methods: All patients were ≥50 years old.
