MRRead-A Novel Approach to Training Residents in Magnetic Resonance Image Temporomandibular Joint Interpretation.

Purpose: The purpose of our study was to create an online, web-based training module that would instruct a group of participants in the interpretation of a magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) scan in a logical, step-wise manner to locate and identify all relevant features of internal derangement. The investigator's hypothesis was that implementing the MRRead TMJ training module would improve the participants' competency in the interpretation of MRI TMJ scans.

Methods: The investigators designed and implemented a single-group prospective cohort study.

Endoparasite community of anurans from an altitudinal rainforest enclave in a Brazilian semiarid area.

In the present study, we aimed to describe the composition of endoparasites associated with anurans from an altitudinal rainforest enclave in northeastern Brazil. Additionally, we tested if microhabitat use influences endoparasite abundance and richness, as well as the hypothesis that larger frogs tend to be more parasitized. We sampled 306 individuals from 25 anuran species that were necropsied and analysed using a stereomicroscope.

Efficient in-house 3D printing of an orthognathic splint for single-jaw cases.

The purpose of this paper is to outline a simple and effective digital protocol for in-house 3D-printing of orthognathic splints for use during single-jaw orthognathic surgery. Using this protocol, an intraoral scanner, and virtual planning software, computer-designed splints were fabricated by a rapid prototyping machine in-house. The protocol was utilized for 35 consecutive patients requiring single-jaw orthognathic surgery between January 2019 and March 2020.

Oral Hairy Leukoplakia in Patients With No Evidence of Immunosuppression: A Case Series and Review of the Literature.

Objectives: Oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL) is caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and is often associated with HIV and other immunosuppressive conditions. It is rare in HIV-negative patients, but has been reported in patients who use immune-modulating medications (e.g.
