Impact of low back pain and care-seeking behavior in an Indigenous community in Suriname: a qualitative approach.

Introduction: Low back pain is a significant global public health issue affecting over half a billion people and contributing to disability worldwide. The impact of disability related to low back pain is growing, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. In contrast with previous research, current evidence shows Indigenous Peoples also experience low back pain's disabling effects.

Vertical root fracture detection with cone-beam computed tomography in Biodentine™ filled teeth.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of detecting vertical root fractures in Biodentine™-filled teeth using the Promax 3Dmax cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) unit compared to periapical radiographs. It tested hypotheses regarding CBCT's diagnostic superiority in non-root-filled and Biodentine™-root-filled maxillary central incisors and assessed the impact of smaller field of view and lower intensity settings on detection accuracy.

Materials And Methods: Extracted maxillary incisors were divided into groups based on fracture status and root filling material, then placed in a Thiel-embalmed skull to simulate clinical conditions.

What do we know about Indigenous Peoples with low back pain around the world? A topical review.

Background: Low back pain (LBP) represents a worldwide burden with rising disability, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Indigenous Peoples are exposed to many risk factors for LBP and seem to have overall worse health and higher mortality compared to non-Indigenous. This article aims to provide a topical overview of LBP in Indigenous Peoples.

A systematic review on 4D images of the upper airway in patients with OSA.

Aim-background: In the treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), oral appliances are now being recognized as a valuable alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Various static imaging techniques of the upper airways allow for assessment of bone and soft tissue structures. However, static images do not capture dynamic airway characteristics.

A scoping review of life skills development and transfer in emerging adults.

Unlabelled: Emerging adulthood is a unique and sensitive life period during which most psychiatric conditions emerge. Development of life skills and transfer of these skills between contexts may be considered essential for transitioning from emerging adulthood to young adulthood. In the present scoping review of 83 articles published between 2010 and 2022, we address the state of research on life skills development and transfer in emerging adults aged 18-30.
