When acrylic resin is inadvertently embedded in oral tissue, it can result in a pronounced chronic inflammatory response. This report describes a case in which temporary crown and bridge resin was forced into a surgical extraction site after the two adjacent teeth were prepared for a bridge immediately following extraction of a maxillary premolar. The patient experienced swelling at the extraction site over a ten month period despite treatment with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. After detection and removal of the foreign body, the symptoms resolved. The episode contributed to periodontal bone loss around an adjacent tooth. While morbidity of this nature is rare, this case reinforces the need to investigate persistent signs of inflammation and account for dental materials that are lost during the course of treatment.

Objective: To increase the number of episodes of vitamin D teaching in the primary care setting for parents of human milk-fed infants and to explore pediatric clinicians' knowledge of vitamin D supplementation in human milk-fed infants and their perception of project intervention usefulness.
Design: Quality improvement project using a quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest design.
Setting/local Problem: Despite recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics, vitamin D supplementation adherence rates for human milk-fed infants remain low.

Purpose: Continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring is increasingly used in the management of neonates with seizures. There remains debate on what clinically relevant information can be gained from cEEG in neonates with suspected seizures, at high risk for seizures, or with definite seizures, as well as the use of cEEG for prognosis in a variety of conditions. In this guideline, we address these questions using American Clinical Neurophysiology Society structured methodology for clinical guideline development.

Understanding of this disease is predominantly based on research in non-Hispanic Whites (NHW) although AD disproportionately affects African Americans (AA) and Latin Americans (LA), underrepresented in AD research. To address this knowledge gap, the Accelerating Medicine Partnership for Alzheimer's Disease (AMP-AD) Diversity Working Group was launched to generate multi-omics data from post-mortem brain tissue from donors of predominantly AA and LA descent.

Background: The common APOE2/E3/E4 polymorphism, the strongest risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), is determined by two-site haplotypes at codons 112 (Cys>Arg) and 158 (Arg>Cys), resulting into six genotypes. Due to strong linkage disequilibrium between the two sites, 3 of the 4 expected haplotypes (E2, E3, E4) have been observed and extensively studied in relation to AD risk. Compared to the most common haplotype of E3 (Cys112 - Arg158), E4 (Arg112 - Arg 158) and E2 (Cys112 - Cys158) haplotypes are determined by a single-point mutation at codons 112 and 158, respectively.

Rapid and accurate molecular diagnostics are crucial for preventing the global spread of emerging infectious diseases. However, the current gold standard for nucleic acid detection, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), relies heavily on traditional magnetic beads or silica membranes for nucleic acid extraction, resulting in several limitations, including time-consuming processes, the need for trained personnel, and complex equipment. Therefore, there is an urgent need for fully integrated nucleic acid detection technologies that are simple to operate, rapid, and highly sensitive to meet unmet clinical needs.
