Objective: To determine mediators of 12-month outcomes of Internet interventions for youth with type 1 diabetes transitioning to adolescence.
Methods: In this multisite clinical trial, 320 youth were randomized to one of two Internet-based interventions: Coping skills (TEENCOPE™) or diabetes education (Managing Diabetes). Mediators of the interventions' effects on glycosylated hemoglobin and quality of life were examined. Data were collected at baseline and at 3, 6, and 12 months.
Results: Self-efficacy mediated treatment effects on quality of life in both interventions. For TEENCOPE™, stress reactivity, primary control coping, and secondary control coping mediated treatment effects, whereas for Managing Diabetes, social acceptance mediated treatment effects. There were no significant effects of either intervention on glycosylated hemoglobin.
Conclusions: 2 Internet interventions for youth with type 1 diabetes resulted in improved quality of life by different mechanisms, suggesting components of both diabetes education and coping skills may help to achieve better outcomes in youth with type 1 diabetes.

Background: Perianal fistula refers to an abnormal connection between the anal canal and the perianal skin or perineum. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) plays a crucial role in accurately characterizing perianal fistulas, which informs surgical strategies and helps minimize recurrence.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a single diagnostic imaging center in Addis Ababa, utilizing retrospectively collected data from May 2023 to June 2024.

Background: Anterior disc displacement (ADD) is the most common type of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) internal derangement and may lead to condylar resorption (CR) during the adolescence period, but the specific malocclusion associated with ADD and CR remains unclear.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the malocclusion associated with TMJ ADD and CR in adolescents.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included a clinical examination of adolescent patients aged 11-19 years.

Background: Dens invaginatus is a developmental abnormality originating from tooth development, including coronal invaginatus and radicular invaginatus. The reported incidence varies greatly due to diagnostic techniques, classification criteria and race. The incidence of dens invaginatus in China was not clear, and the impact of dens invaginatus on periodontal support tissue were rarely reported.

Aims: To estimate physical activity (activity) duration required to lower glucose from above target range (>180 mg/dL) to within target range (TIR: 70-180 mg/dL) in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Methods: Continuous glucose monitoring and activity data were collected from 404 adults (28-day observation) and 149 adolescents (10-day observation) with T1D. Activities (N = 1902) with a starting glucose between 181--300 mg/dL, duration 10-60 min, and no reported meals during activity were included in the analysis.
