We introduce a method to study random Boolean networks with asynchronous stochastic update. Each node in the state space network starts with equal occupation probability, which then evolves to a steady state. Attractors and the sizes of their basins are determined by the nodes left occupied at late times. As for synchronous update, the basin entropy grows with system size only for critical networks. We determine analytically the distribution for the number of attractors and basin sizes for networks with connectivity K=1 . These differ from the case of synchronous update for all K .

Background: Peri-implantitis represents a significant challenge in dental implantology, characterized by inflammatory reactions around osseointegrated dental implants that lead to progressive alveolar bone loss.
Objectives: To generate a scoping review that evaluates the efficacy of implantoplasty and Er:YAG laser therapies in managing peri-implantitis by synthesizing recent evidence on their impact on key clinical parameters-including probing depth reduction, bleeding on probing improvement, and marginal bone level stabilization-and to explore the potential synergistic benefits of combining these modalities for enhanced treatment outcomes.
Material And Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science for studies published from January 2018 to the present.

Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injections have emerged as a promising alternative for the management of bruxism. In this context, a systematic review of randomized controlled trials on the impact of BTX-A on patients with bruxism was conducted. A literature search of multiple online electronic databases (PubMed®, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL)) was undertaken from their inception to February 1, 2024.

Introduction: Achieving remission is a critical therapeutic goal in the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Despite methotrexate being the cornerstone of early RA treatment, a significant proportion of patients fail to achieve remission. This study aims to predict 6-month non-remission in 222 disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD)-naïve RA patients initiating methotrexate monotherapy, using baseline patient characteristics from the ARCTIC trial.

Significance: A comprehensive falls assessment should include the assessment of key visual risk factors, namely, visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and stereoacuity, to help prevent further falls in older adults. As a minimum, a thorough visual history and uniocular visual acuity assessment would allow appropriate onward referral for intervention.
Purpose: Falls prevention is a global public health challenge.

Background: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors (such as dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, and canagliflozin) are essential for the treatment of type 2 diabetes because they improve the urine excretion of glucose. Although there are advantages, including weight loss and enhanced heart health, caution is necessary because of possible negative effects, such as higher urine output and euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis. They may slow chronic kidney disease progression, therefore, renal function must be monitored.
