Eosinophilic granuloma (EG) is the localized and mildest form of histiocytosis-X group of diseases. In this study, 22 patients of pathologically proven EG involving the jaws were retrospectively studied concerning the clinical and radiographic presentation. The clinical and radiographic presentation of the 22 cases was quite varied, and the accuracy of clinical and radiographic diagnosis was low. However, the clinical and radiographic presentation correlated with the lesion site, and accordingly all the jaw lesions could be divided into three types (Alveolar Type, Intraosseous Type, and Mixed Type). Our classification based on the lesion sites reveals the correlation between the clinical and radiographic presentation of EG and the lesion sites, and may be useful in the identification of lesions of EG in the jaws.

Development of a unified and comprehensive definition of successful spinal fusion: a systematic review.
J Neurosurg Spine

2Cleveland Clinic Center for Spine Health, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland; and.
Objective: Spinal fusion is a commonly performed surgical procedure used to relieve pain, deformity, and instability of various spinal pathologies. Although there have been attempts to standardize spinal fusion assessment radiologically, there is currently no unified definition that also considers clinical symptomology. This review attempts to create a more holistic and standardized definition of spinal fusion.

Background: Sepsis, a critical global health challenge, accounted for approximately 20% of worldwide deaths in 2017. Although the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score standardizes the diagnosis of organ dysfunction, early sepsis detection remains challenging due to its insidious symptoms. Current diagnostic methods, including clinical assessments and laboratory tests, frequently lack the speed and specificity needed for timely intervention, particularly in vulnerable populations such as older adults, intensive care unit (ICU) patients, and those with compromised immune systems.

Médecins Sans Frontières, International, Geneva, Switzerland.
Ultraportable (UP) X-ray devices are ideal to use in community-based settings, particularly for chest X-ray (CXR) screening of tuberculosis (TB). Unfortunately, there is insufficient guidance on the radiation safety of these devices. This study aims to determine the radiation dose by UP X-ray devices to both the public and radiographers compared to international dose limits.

Background: Supernumerary digits, or polydactyly, have been described in various species including humans, wild and domestic animals. In horses, it represents the most common congenital limb malformation, which has only been described in isolated cases or nuclear families. Molecular aetiology has not been reported.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Amsterdam UMC, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Purpose: Coronectomy is a valuable treatment proven safe for non-pathological mandibular third molars with an increased risk of inferior alveolar nerve injury. Coronectomy may also be useful for mandibular third molars with dentigerous cysts and caries, but this is not commonly performed due to the lack of well-designed, evidence-based studies. Here, we aim to investigate the safety of coronectomy for mandibular third molars with caries and dentigerous cysts.
