Decision making and management of root caries: A practice-based survey.

Objectives: With increasing life expectancy and improved preventive measures, teeth are retained longer, leading to a rise in prevalence of root caries lesions (RCL). However, little is known about how dentists manage this condition. The present survey aimed to evaluate the knowledge of Swiss dentists on decision making and management of RCL.

A framework for installable external tools in Skyline.

Unlabelled: Skyline is a Windows client application for targeted proteomics method creation and quantitative data analysis. The Skyline document model contains extensive mass spectrometry data from targeted proteomics experiments performed using selected reaction monitoring, parallel reaction monitoring and data-independent and data-dependent acquisition methods. Researchers have developed software tools that perform statistical analysis of the experimental data contained within Skyline documents.

Implementation of statistical process control for proteomic experiments via LC MS/MS.

Statistical process control (SPC) is a robust set of tools that aids in the visualization, detection, and identification of assignable causes of variation in any process that creates products, services, or information. A tool has been developed termed Statistical Process Control in Proteomics (SProCoP) which implements aspects of SPC (e.g.

Nuchal fibroma.

Nuchal fibroma was diagnosed in a 54-year-old diabetic woman with a two year history of increased skin thickness of her low-posterior neck and interscapular region, causing discomfort and limitation of neck and arm motion. Physical and laboratory examinations excluded further disorders. The patient was released, free from symptoms, after complete excision of the soft tissue tumor.
