Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between echocardiographic measures of diastolic left ventricular dysfunction and decreased arterial oxyhaemoglobin saturation measured with pulse oximetry (SpO).

Design: This is a cross-sectional population-based survey of Norwegian adults. Values obtained using echocardiography, pulse oximetry, and spirometry were included. The primary outcome was abnormal mitral Doppler inflow, defined as normal: E/A ratio 0.75-1.5 and EDT ≥ 140 ms; abnormal: E/A ratio <0.75 or >1.5 or EDT <140 ms. The associations between this outcome and possible predictors, including SpO ≤ 95%, were analysed using univariable and multivariable logistic regression.

Results: A total of 1782 participants aged 50 years or older (54% women, mean age 67.5 years) were included in the analysis. Abnormal mitral Doppler inflow was found in 595 participants. After adjusting for age, gender, previous myocardial infarction, smoking history, dyspnoea, obesity, and decreased lung function, SpO ≤ 95% predicted abnormal mitral Doppler flow with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.6 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.1-2.4]. Hypertension and BMI > =30 were also significant predictors of impaired filling, with OR of 1.7 (95% CI 1.1-2.7) OR and 1.5 (95% CI 1.2-1.9), respectively.

Conclusion: Decreased SpO was a significant predictor of abnormal mitral Doppler flow. Diastolic dysfunction should be considered when SpO ≤ 95% is found.

Revascularization of an Autotransplanted Mature Tooth After Extraoral Root Resection: A Case Report.

Case Rep Dent

January 2025

Institute of Dentistry and Oral Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Palacky University, Olomouc, Czech Republic.

The outcome of tooth autotransplantation depends mainly on the transplant tooth's anatomy-the type of donor tooth and the developmental stage of root formation. Mature teeth display a higher complication rate due to lower pulp revascularization potential, requiring root canal treatment (RCT) pre- or postoperatively to avoid postoperative complications, which extends treatment duration and cost. This report details a 39-year-old patient's autotransplantation of a mature wisdom tooth to replace the first molar after unsuccessful root canal retreatment.

Over the past ten years, there has been an increasing demand for reliable consumer wearables as users are inclined to monitor their health and fitness metrics in real-time, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. Reflectance pulse oximeters in fitness trackers and smartwatches provide convenient, non-invasive SpO measurements but face challenges in achieving medical-grade accuracy, particularly due to difficulties in capturing physiological signals, which may be affected by skin pigmentation. Hence, this study sets out to investigate the influence of skin pigmentation, particularly in individuals with darker skin, on the accuracy and reliability of SpO measurement in consumer wearables that utilise reflectance pulse oximeters.

The effect of skin pigmentation on photoplethysmography and, specifically, pulse oximetry has recently received a significant amount of attention amongst researchers, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. With most computational studies observing overestimation of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO) in individuals with darker skin, this study seeks to further investigate the root causes of these discrepancies. This study analysed intensity changes from Monte Carlo-simulated reflectance PPG signals across light, moderate, and dark skin types at oxygen saturations of 70% and 100% in MATLAB R2024a.
