Objective: The aim of this study was to query cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) users about their storage and transfer practices to identify trends in the handling of CBCT data in dentistry.
Study Design: A computer-based survey was distributed to 2 CBCT user groups. The survey consisted of 18 questions on settings for data capture, data storage, archiving strategies, bit depth/compression, monitoring user access to patient information, and dissemination to end users. All information was anonymously collected. Descriptive data and frequency patterns were collected and discussed.
Results: A total of 68 surveys were returned, with 56 fully completed. Results reflected a low consensus about usage and management of radiographic data sets. Some preferential usage patterns, however, were noted along with the following trends: (1) 53% of respondents utilized Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine volumetric data sets for initial storage. (2) 46% of respondents saved data in raw or native file formats. (3) 60% of storage sites were in onsite servers. (4) 35% of volumes saved were in a "Zip" compression format. (5) 37% of respondents used a picture archiving and communication system for storage.
Conclusions: The absence of consensus on postcapture management of volumetric data sets indicates that a dentistry-wide data management standard would benefit patient care while mitigating information technology storage issues.

Monitoring and assessing the level of lower limb motor skills using the Biodex System plays an important role in the training of football players and in post-traumatic rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to build and test an artificial intelligence-based model to assess the peak torque of the lower limb extensors and flexors. The model was based on real-world results in three groups: hearing ( = 19) and deaf football players ( = 28) and non-training deaf pupils ( = 46).

Background: This two-stage individual patient data meta-analysis (IPD-MA) compared the efficacy of a shorter duration (≤ 2 days) of vasoactive (VA) drug therapy to standard duration (3-5 days) after acute variceal bleeding (AVB) in patients with liver cirrhosis.
Patients And Methods: Randomized clinical trials on patients with cirrhosis and AVB undergoing endoscopic band ligation which compared a short duration versus the standard duration of VA therapy were included. The primary outcome was 5-day rebleeding rate.

Background: The differential impact of serum lipids and their targets for lipid modification on cardiometabolic disease risk is debated. This study used Mendelian randomization to investigate the causal relationships and underlying mechanisms.
Methods: Genetic variants related to lipid profiles and targets for lipid modification were sourced from the Global Lipids Genetics Consortium.

Background: Osteoporosis is a common age-related disease with disabling consequences, the early diagnosis of which is difficult due to its long and hidden course, which often leads to diagnosis only after a fracture. In this regard, great expectations are placed on advanced developments in machine learning technologies aimed at predicting osteoporosis at an early stage of development, including the use of large data sets containing information on genetic and clinical predictors of the disease. Nevertheless, the inclusion of DNA markers in prediction models is fraught with a number of difficulties due to the complex polygenic and heterogeneous nature of the disease.

Proteins can be rapidly prototyped with cell-free expression (CFE) but in most cases there is a lack of probes or assays to measure their function directly in the cell lysate, thereby limiting the throughput of these screens. Increased throughput is needed to build standardized, sequence to function data sets to feed machine learning guided protein optimization. Herein, we describe the use of fluorescent single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) as effective probes for measuring protease activity directly in cell-free lysate.
