Aim Of The Study: Ten percent of childhood burns could arise from maltreatment. While describing 6 severe cases of inflicted scalds by immersion in children, we expose our systematic diagnostic approach of abuse and confirm the serious nature of burn when they are inflicted.
Patients And Method: The retrospective study concerned children hospitalized for scalds by immersion between 2013 and 2016 and for whom child abuse has been confirmed. Sex, age, burns description, needs of surgery, length of stay at hospital and protection plan set up were collected.
Results: Six cases of burns by immersion due to maltreatment were identified (5 boys, 1 girl) with a median age of 12 months. The average total burn surface area was 19%. Burns were of deep second and third degree and always symmetric. Every child underwent surgery at least once. Concern information was transferred for all of them.
Conclusion: Teams taking care of children with burns must be trained to the difficult diagnostic of abuse or neglect so that early social interventions can be set up in case of maltreatment.

Extended Reality Interventions for Health and Procedural Anxiety: Panoramic Meta-Analysis Based on Overviews of Reviews.
J Med Internet Res
January 2025
Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, University of Exeter, Exeter, United Kingdom.
Background: Extended reality (XR) technologies are increasingly being used to reduce health and procedural anxieties. The global effectiveness of these interventions is uncertain, and there is a lack of understanding of how patient outcomes might vary between different contexts and modalities.
Objective: This research used panoramic meta-analysis to synthesize evidence across the diverse clinical contexts in which XR is used to address common outcomes of health and procedural anxiety.
Changes in optical properties of aesthetic paediatric restorative materials following exposure to beverages: In-vitro study.
Eur Arch Paediatr Dent

Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Public Health Department.Faculty of Dentistry, Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt.
Purpose: Optical properties of recent aesthetic restorative materials must maintain an acceptable appearance throughout their functional lifetime. This study aimed to assess the changes in translucency and colour of recent resin-based restorative materials after exposure to beverages commonly consumed by children.
Methods: An experimental in-vitro study on 48 discs specimens prepared from; Group I: Filtek Z250 XT (Nanohybrid), Group II: Cention N (Alkasite bulkfill), and Group III: SDR flow Plus (Flowable bulkfill).
Do we feel the same emotions in simulation as with a real patient? A pilot study among dental students.

University of Strasbourg, Faculty of dentistry, Strasbourg, France.
Introduction: Simulation is an educational tool for developing the technical and nontechnical skills of dental students. To optimize learning in simulations, students must be immersed in a high-fidelity environment and emotionally engaged, as is the case in clinical practice. The primary objective of this study was to assess emotions during simulation training and in clinical practice.

Microaggressions undermine health professionals' performance in patient care, research, and education. This study aimed to develop and evaluate an intervention addressing microaggressions in healthcare settings by empowering bystanders to act as upstanders across an academic medical center (AMC). This was achieved through an educational intervention that included a novel framework, didactics, video demonstrations, and practice with realistic scenarios.

Background: Virtual reality (VR) technologies have demonstrated therapeutic usefulness across a variety of health care settings. However, graduate medical education (GME) trainee perspectives on VR acceptability and usability are limited. The behavioral intentions of GME trainees with regard to VR as an anxiolytic tool have not been characterized through a theoretical framework of technology adoption.
