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.

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.

CTRead-A Revolutionary Approach to Training Residents in Computed Tomography Facial Bone Interpretation.

Purpose: The purpose of our study was to create an online, web-based training module that would instruct a group of residents in the interpretation of a computed tomography (CT) facial bone scan in a logical, stepwise manner to locate and identify all relevant facial fractures. Our hypothesis was that implementing the CTRead facial bones training module would improve residents' competency in the interpretation of CT facial bone scans.

Materials And Methods: We designed and implemented a prospective quasi-experimental trial.

Participation of Canadian Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons in Oral, Lip, and Oropharyngeal Cancer Care.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the participation of Canadian oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMSs) in the various phases of oral, lip, and oropharyngeal cancer care.

Materials And Methods: A survey was conducted to quantify participation in oral, lip, and oropharyngeal cancer care and assess participation ranging from screening for malignancy to active treatment and rehabilitation of those with late-stage disease.

Results: Three hundred ninety-one surgeons were contacted and 206 (52.

Flightless I is a focal adhesion-associated actin-capping protein that regulates cell migration.

The role of adhesion-associated actin-binding proteins in cell migration is not well defined. In mouse fibroblasts we screened for focal adhesion-associated proteins that were isolated with collagen-coated beads and detected by tandem mass spectrometry. We identified flightless I (FliI) as an actin-binding protein in focal adhesion fractions, which was verified by immunoblotting.
