Background: When designing removable partial dentures, maximizing the effectiveness of support and bracing is necessary to minimize denture movement. Therefore, it is essential to emphasize the importance of providing patients with appropriate, safe, and secure removable partial dentures and have clinicians rerecognize the concept and importance of support and bracing. This study aimed to present extension-base removable partial dentures through six specific clinical case series and describe the effect of support and bracing action on denture design, which is essential for denture movement minimization.

Background: Olaparib is a relatively new poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) administered to ovarian cancer (OC) patients with a complete or partial response to first-line chemotherapy. One of the metabolic side effects of olaparib is the disruption of glucose homeostasis, often resulting in hyperglycemia The study was a retrospective analysis of olaparib-induced hyperglycemia in OC patients with initial normoglycemia following the first, second, and third month of olaparib treatment METHODS: The study involved 32 OC patients, classified into three groups according to their Body Mass Index (BMI): normal BMI (BMI 18.5-24.

The use of asfotase alfa, a bone-targeted recombinant alkaline phosphatase (ALP) enzyme, for the treatment of adult-onset hypophosphatasia (HPP) remains controversial, particularly in patients without evident bone abnormalities. We report the case of a 41-year-old woman with a history of Graves' disease, who presented with progressive joint pain and severe fatigue. Despite the absence of bone lesions, the patient was diagnosed with HPP based on persistently low alkaline phosphatase levels, family history, and a novel heterozygous ALPL variant (p.

Introduction: Faced with a backdrop of an increasing chronic disease burden from an ageing global population compounded with rising healthcare costs, health systems are required to implement cost-effective, safe and equitable care through efficient service delivery models. One approach to achieving this is through Starfield's 4Cs of primary healthcare (PHC), which delineates the key attributes of a high-performing PHC system that upholds the pillars of care coordination, first contact of care, continuity of care and comprehensive care. Therefore, this study aims to explore and elucidate the key themes and subthemes related to and extending beyond Starfield's 4Cs of PHC by integrating findings from a comprehensive literature review and a qualitative study.
