Digital templating has been used as a method of reducing hospital costs by eliminating the need for acetate films. Digital templating techniques have been used for preoperative planning for total hip arthroplasty (THA). Fifty-four patients who underwent THA were selected for the study. Templating was performed using acetate templating overlays and digital templating software. Acetabular component sizes were accurate in 96% of patients using the acetate method and in 93% using the digital method. Femoral component sizes were accurate in 80% in the acetate method and 74% in the digital method. Digital templating is safe and effective for preoperative planning for THA.

Background: The structural, cellular, and biomolecular research necessary for a mechanistic understanding of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) relies on brain tissue collected according to a brain sampling protocol (BSP) and preserved in biorepositories. Such research involves discipline-specific terminology such as cytoarchitectonic domains, brain network nodes, etc. This specificity can result in iterative, time-consuming, and error-prone request processes.

Article Synopsis
- Root caries pose a significant challenge in dentistry, requiring effective noninvasive preventive strategies due to poor outcomes of current restorative treatments.
- Researchers developed PAMAM-C11, a modified peptide that binds to hydroxyapatite to prevent demineralization in caries lesions and combat periodontal destruction, enhancing mineralization and resisting washout.
- PAMAM-C11 also protects against enzymatic breakdown in dentin, supports the growth of important stem cells for periodontal repair, and showed promising results in an in vivo rat model, suggesting its potential for clinical use in preventing root caries.
