This report describes a straightforward technique for verifying the accuracy of a definitive cast by using a maximal intercuspation record fabricated from polyvinyl siloxane occlusal registration material. This precise verification method detects inaccurate casts before the dental prosthesis is fabricated, thus saving chairside and laboratory time while reducing the number of costly prosthesis remakes.

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.

Female bladder pain syndrome (FBPS), previously known as interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome, is a life-altering and morbid condition that occurs primarily in female patients and can be variable in presentation. Given the absence of pathognomonic symptoms and sensitive diagnostic tests, significant symptomatic overlap with numerous other pelvic conditions (such as pelvic floor tension myalgia or endometriosis) occurring in women makes diagnosis of FBPS challenging. The frequent co-occurrence of FBPS with other pain conditions and functional somatic syndromes further complicates diagnosis and management.

Background: Diagnosis in patients with Mild Behavioural Impairment (MBI) and with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) with predominant executive deficits (eMCI) is often challenging, as they may be representing the early phase of both Alzheimer's Dementia (AD) as well as behavioural variant Frontotemporal Dementia (bvFTD). If neuropathology biomarkers aren't available, diagnosis is even more difficult. We evaluated the performance of classification of different clinical diagnostic criteria for behavioural/dysexecutive AD (without biomarkers) in MBI and eMCI.
