Oral health care pathways for patients with epidermolysis bullosa: A position statement from the European reference network for rare skin diseases.

Background: Inherited epidermolysis bullosa (EB) comprises a group of genetic disorders characterized by skin fragility and unique oral features. It requires interdisciplinary care from several health professionals, including oral health teams. Modern dentistry encompasses a wide range of therapeutic options performed by specialists from different fields.

Closed-Loop Auditory Stimulation (CLAS) During Sleep Augments Language and Discovery Learning.

Slow oscillation (SO) brainwaves observed during sleep have been shown to reflect the process of memory consolidation, that underlies the critical role of sleep in learning, memory, and other cognitive functions. Closed-loop auditory stimulation (CLAS) uses tones presented in phase with SOs to increase their amplitude and number, along with other brainwave signatures related to memory consolidation. Prior studies have found that CLAS maximizes the ability to perform rote memorization tasks, although this remains controversial.

Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Capitellum: Influence of Activity on Lesion Location Within a Zone of Propensity.

Background: There may be an association between repetitive stress on the elbow and capitellar osteochondritis dissecans (COCD). The influence of activity on the characteristics or specific location of the lesion within a capitellar zone of propensity remains unclear.

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to evaluate COCD in gymnasts and baseball players compared with a non-upper extremity (non-UE) sport COCD cohort.
