This is a case study of how four different groups viewed proposed language in professional ethics codes regarding personal relationships with patients. The ADA Council on Ethics, Bylaws, and Judicial Affairs; the House of Delegates of the Michigan State Dental Association; and first-year students at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry favored a strongly worded statement in their codes, while the House of Delegates of the ADA passed a statement that was more "advisory" in nature. Support material concerning the statement on personal relationships is presented as an ethics case, and suggestions are presented regarding the ethical principles underlying positions on the issue.

Understanding the impact of premolar root anatomy, sex, and age on incisor complexity can aid in developing tailored diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. This study evaluated if the anatomical complexity of mandibular premolars, sex and age can predict the anatomical complexity in mandibular incisors. Using CBCT scans, 3944 mandibular incisors from 493 patients were analyzed.

Background: Patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been reported to show hypoxia without displaying typical clinical signs or symptoms, called "happy hypoxia." To explore the potential of happy hypoxia as a distinctive symptom of COVID-19, we compared vital signs in the triage phase between patients with and without COVID-19.
Methods: We retrospectively identified emergency patients with and without COVID-19 admitted to Rakuwakai Marutamachi Hospital, Kyoto, Japan, between January 2021 and December 2021.
Prevalence and clinical impact of disseminated intravascular coagulation in acute aortic dissection: a nationwide cohort study.

Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University, Osaka, Japan.
Background: Acute aortic dissection is a life-threatening cardiovascular emergency with high mortality rates. Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a critical complication in patients with acute aortic dissection; however, its incidence and impact on outcomes remain inconclusive.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate DIC prevalence and prognosis in patients with aortic dissection.
Objectives: Squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal (SCCA) is a rare condition. Standard treatment includes chemoradiotherapy, with surgical treatment reserved for limited cases. In the future, the decrease in surgical frequency makes it more difficult to pathologically assess the depth of tumor invasion and lymph node status; therefore, those studies based on relatively recent surgical cases may offer valuable insights into diagnosing and treating SCCA.

Division of Molecular and Diagnostic Pathology, Niigata University, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Niigata, Japan.
Objectives: To clarify the risk factors affecting prognosis after primary tumor resection (PTR) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer with synchronous peritoneal metastasis (mCRC-SPM).
Methods: Patients were enrolled prospectively in the JSCCR project "Grading of Peritoneal Seeding in Colorectal Cancer." Factors that may influence overall survival-age, sex, location of the primary tumor, lymph node metastasis, presence of liver metastasis, degree of peritoneal metastasis, peritoneal cancer index (PCI), cancer cure, and postoperative chemotherapy-in the PTR group were examined using multivariate analysis.
