Objectives: Evaluate the effect of bone-anchored maxillary expander (BAME) treatment on palatal cortical bone in adolescent patients.
Study Design: Forty-two patients were assigned to two groups: treatment and control. CBCT scans were obtained for patients at baseline and 12 months later. Landmarks were placed between the second maxillary premolar and first maxillary molar following the palatal plate. Morphometric analysis of the palate was carried out. Individual differences in terms of the response to BAME treatment were assessed.
Results: Mean distance measurements between the six counterpart landmarks in BAME and control groups at T1 and T2 showed that the palatal perimeter increases after 12 months in the BAME group but not in the control group. There were very mild indentations in the area where the onplants were located in both groups. These indentations were not to be considered clinically significant.
Conclusions: BAME treatment does not cause significant palatal bone resorption.

Introduction: Real-world studies in the USA report that 41-56% of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) are ≥ 50 years old, yet data on their response to disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) is limited. Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is an oral DMT approved for treating relapsing MS. This analysis evaluated the safety, efficacy, and immunophenotype changes of DMF in patients ≥ 50 years compared with patients < 50 years.

Article Synopsis
- The Maduo Study investigated the impact of antenatal screening for STIs in pregnant women in Botswana, comparing intervention and standard care groups.
- The study found a significant reduction in the prevalence of STIs post-delivery among women who received regular screening and treatment during pregnancy.
- Results indicated that a substantial number of infants born to women with untreated infections still tested positive, highlighting the importance of antenatal STI screening to prevent vertical transmission.

Ethnic minority healthcare workers (EMHCW) are at high risk of COVID-19 infection and adverse health outcomes, but vaccine uptake is low among ethnic minority communities, including EMHCW. We explored the views of EMHCW towards COVID-19 Vaccine Education (CoVE), a digital training resource to improve knowledge and confidence for promoting the COVID-19 vaccine. Thirty EMHCW completed CoVE, then participated in a semi-structured qualitative interview.

Background: Attainment inequalities exist for ethnic minority students graduating from higher education institutes (HEIs) in the UK. Previous research has investigated the outcomes and experiences of students from ethnic minority backgrounds on health and social care programmes. However, studies exploring ethnic minority speech and language therapy (SLT) students' experiences have only focused on international students and were conducted in Australia.
