Objectives: The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate evidence about the prevalence of degenerative joint disease (DJD) of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ).

Materials And Methods: We performed search on electronic databases and gray literature from their inception to January 2018. Studies reporting prevalence data of DJD on TMJ were included. DJD was assessed through clinical and imaging diagnosis. Studies risk of bias was evaluated using the Critical Appraisal Checklist for Studies Reporting Prevalence Data.

Results: From 1082 studies, 32 were identified, and the sample size included 3435 subjects. They were clustered into two groups: the first comprised studies that reported prevalence of DJD in TMJ secondary to rheumatic systemic diseases like juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the second group comprised studies that reported prevalence of DJD on temporomandibular disorder patients. The prevalence of DJD on JIA patients ranged from 40.42% (n = 47) to 93.33% (n = 15) and on RA patients from 45.00% (n = 20) to 92.85% (n = 56). Among TMD patients, the prevalence of DJD reported according to patients ranged from 18.01% (n = 1038) to 84.74% (n = 118) and reported according to joints ranged from 17.97% (n = 178) to 77.23% (n = 224).

Conclusion: This review attempts to high prevalence of DJD in patients with systemic rheumatic disease and a less prevalent, but still high, occurrence in patients with TMD without systemic involvement.

Clinical Relevance: Specialist doctors and dentists should be alert to not underestimate and to correctly diagnose DJD of the TMJ early in patients with rheumatic disease and TMD.

Purpose: To characterize radiographic foot/ankle bony abnormalities in elite-level, asymptomatic male basketball athletes and to investigate the association between anthropometric (age, height, weight) or sport-specific characteristics (total exposures, player position, pregame ankle taping) and the prevalence of abnormal radiographic findings in asymptomatic basketball athletes.

Methods: Elite-level basketball players who underwent routine, preseason static radiographic imaging, including anteroposterior, lateral, and mortise views of the ankle were included. Radiographs were collected from asymptomatic athletes participating in preseason history and physical with negative anterior drawer/talar tilt test.

Background: Recombinant Necator americanus Glutathione-S-Transferase-1 (Na-GST-1) formulated on Alhydrogel (Na-GST-1/Alhydrogel) is being developed to prevent anemia and other complications of N. americanus infection. Antibodies induced by vaccination with recombinant Na-GST-1 are hypothesized to interfere with the blood digestion pathway of adult hookworms in the host.

Purpose Of Review: Recent research on efficacy and safety of long-acting preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) holds the promise to transform HIV prevention in high HIV burden settings. We review emerging findings regarding early end-user acceptability of long-acting PrEP modalities, feasibility of integrating long-acting PrEP into health systems, and considerations regarding drug resistance and cost.

Recent Findings: Long-acting PrEP, particularly injectables, was found to be highly acceptable among individuals across key populations in high HIV burden settings.

Article Synopsis
  • - Asparaginase-containing regimens for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) result in a significant prevalence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) among adolescents and young adults, with 1-year and 2-year cumulative incidences of 31.9% and 33.5%, respectively, particularly during the ASP-based consolidation phase.
  • - The study revealed that overweight or obese patients had a higher risk of developing VTE (39.2%) compared to those with a normal BMI (29.0%), and overall survival rates were similar regardless of VTE occurrence, at around 91.5%.
  • - Despite the frequent occurrence of VTE, especially types like pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis,
