AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Objective: This study aimed (1) to identify the diagnostic subsets of a patient population with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) referred from dental professionals to a physical therapist (PT) in an outpatient physical therapy practice and (2) to use the characteristics of this TMD population to assist clinical decision making in the management of TMD.
Study Design: This was an institutional review board-approved, retrospective study of 511 patients referred to a PT. The PT followed the diagnostic guidelines of axis I of the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD).
Results: All 8 diagnostic subsets of the RDC/TMD were diagnosed among the 511 patients. Concurrent diagnostic subsets, cervical spine involvement, and oral appliance use were described.
Conclusions: PTs in an outpatient practice should be proficient in the use of the RDC/TMD. Characteristics identified with this patient population suggest that dentists should involve the services of PTs early in the management of patients with TMD and cervical symptoms.

: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a surgical technique for managing post-penetrating keratoplasty (PK) ectasia complicated by late endothelial failure (LEF). : A single-center pilot case series was conducted regarding consecutive patients affected by post-PK ectasia with late graft failure. Using a microkeratome, a single donor cornea was dissected to prepare a two-piece graft, comprising a larger anterior lamella made up of anterior stroma and a smaller posterior lamella made up of posterior stroma, Descemet's membrane, and endothelium.

: Early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) is more frequently characterized by poorly differentiated, aggressive tumors, often diagnosed at advanced stages, and associated with worse prognoses. Despite these differences, current treatment guidelines do not distinguish between EOCRC and late-onset colorectal cancer (LOCRC). Elevated expression of polo-like kinase 1 (PLK-1) has been linked to advanced disease stages and poorer treatment outcomes, including resistance to both chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Despite advances in diagnostic techniques, accurate classification of lung cancer subtypes remains crucial for treatment planning. Traditional methods like genomic studies face limitations such as high cost and complexity. This study investigates whether integrating atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements with conventional clinical and histopathological data can improve lung cancer subtype classification.

Background: There are challenges in providing high quality care for children and young people who are admitted to acute medical wards for mental health concerns. Although there is concern that these admissions are increasing, national data describing these patterns are scarce. We aimed to describe trends in these admissions in England over a 10-year period, and to identify factors associated with repeat admission and length of stay.
