Background: People with intellectual disabilities may find difficulties in their school-to-work transition. The current study aimed to determine which factors have been investigated and which are relevant to this transition process.
Method: A systematic review was undertaken using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and included studies published between 2011 and 2023 on initiatives that facilitate the school-to-work transition.
Article Synopsis
- - The prevalence of oral, metabolic, circulatory, and nutritional diseases is rising globally, with common factors like unhealthy diets influencing their trends, prompting an evaluation of these issues in Colombia through government health records.
- - The study aims to analyze the correlation between oral diseases (like caries and periodontitis) and systemic pathologies, as well as their links to socioeconomic factors in Colombian regions from 2016 to 2023.
- - Results indicate that the average number of consultations for oral diseases was significant, with extensive caries being the most common issue, and a correlation was found between oral and systemic diseases, highlighting the impact of socioeconomic indices on health outcomes.
Introduction: Acquired pellicle (AP) acts as a membrane preventing acids from coming into direct contact with the tooth.

Thus, the aim of this study was to compare the protein composition of the AP in adolescents with erosive tooth wear (ETW), caries, or sound.

Here we present the first report of this disease in the US population, characterizing its clinical manifestations, disease progression, pathological abnormalities, and response to 4-aminopyridine in a cohort of 102 patients bearing GAA repeat expansions.
Methods: We compiled a series of patients with SCA27B, recruited from 5 academic centers across the United States.
