Objective: To assess the influence of operator experience on: shaping and centering ability, mean preparation time and presence of canal aberrations of ProTaper Universal and WaveOne systems on simulated root canals.
Materials And Methods: Sixty S-shaped canals in resin blocks were assigned to four groups (n=15 for each group). Group1 (Experienced operator, ProTaper), Group2 (Experienced operator, WaveOne), Group3 (Inexperienced operator, ProTaper), Group4 (Inexperienced operator, WaveOne). Photographic method was used to record pre- and post-instrumentations images. After superimposition, it has been evaluated presence of canal aberrations and differences in shaping and centering ability between groups.
Results: WaveOne system produced a lower amount of canal aberrations both in the hand of expert than inexpert operators. However, a WaveOne instrument breakage occurred in the hands of an inexperienced operator. No differences have been found in the evaluation of shaping ability with both systematics. Operator's experience doesn't influence the shaping ability of ProTaper and WaveOne systems.
Conclusion: Experience factor could influence the centering ability in the use of both the systematics. However, WaveOne Primary reduce the mean preparation time and the presence of canal aberrations.

Aim: The purpose of this study is to present the ultrasound appearance of a previously undescribed-at-imaging variant of the ulnar nerve near the Guyon's canal.
Material And Methods: The ultrasound database of one of the authors, who has more than 10 years of experience in peripheral nerve ultrasound, was searched for the phrases "UN variant" or "UN loop." The other two authors, with more than 10 years of experience in nerve imaging, retrospectively reviewed the static sonograms as well as the videoclips stored, to confirm the findings.

Article Synopsis
- - Anorectal malformations (ARM) are rare congenital defects occurring in about 3.32 per 10,000 pregnancies, involving a range of issues from mild anal canal displacement to severe fusion of the anorectum, vagina, and urethra.
- - The developmental basis of ARM stems from improper septation of the hindgut during early pregnancy, with most cases being non-syndromic and lacking clear genetic causes.
- - Surgical correction, primarily through posterior sagittal anorectoplasty since 1982, is common, but there is a need for further improvements in surgery outcomes, prenatal detection, and understanding the psychosocial impacts on patients.
Model of superior semicircular canal dehiscence: asymmetrical vestibular dysfunction induces reversible balance impairment.

Department of Head and Neck Surgery & Communication Sciences, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Brunswick, NJ, United States.
Background: Superior semicircular canal dehiscence (SSCD) is a vestibular-cochlear disorder in humans in which a pathological third mobile window of the otic capsule creates changes to the flow of sound pressure energy through the perilymph/endolymph. The primary symptoms include sound-induced dizziness/vertigo, inner ear conductive hearing loss, autophony, headaches, and visual problems. We have developed an animal model of this human condition in the Mongolian Gerbil that uses surgically created SSCD to induce the condition.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the role of Manic Fringe (MFNG) in heart valve development, specifically its involvement in the endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) process, which is crucial for forming heart valves.
- Researchers found that MFNG promotes EndMT by enhancing the Notch signaling pathway, and its loss leads to abnormal heart and valve development in zebrafish models.
- A mutation in the MFNG gene was identified in patients with congenital heart defects, confirming that MFNG is vital in the development of heart valve malformations and may serve as a target for future diagnosis and treatments.
