In the majority of European countries, breast cancer screening programs are designed based on women age.Meta-analysis of randomized clinical trial data demonstrates a reduction in the relative risk of breast cancer mortality due to screening, which has been estimated to be approximately 20%.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness of three methods for determining working length in root canal treatment: electronic apex locator (EWL), simultaneous working length (SWL), and radiographic working length (RWL).
- Researchers analyzed postoperative pain and analgesic usage among patients treated with these methods, involving 100 participants who were randomly assigned to one of the three groups.
- Results showed that patients in the EWL and RWL groups experienced more pain and used more pain relief medication compared to those in the SWL group, indicating that SWL may be a more effective method for reducing postoperative discomfort.
