Women currently form the majority of dentists in Latin America, yet the historical reasons for this development have not been explored. As early as the second decade of the 20 century, a high number of dental students in Argentina were women, yet the stories of these early women dentists have not been told. This study uses the life of María Teresa Saleme, a pioneering woman dentist, as a case study to describe the experiences of early woman dentists in Argentina. This study posits that the way in which the professionalization of dentistry occurred in Argentina set the stage for the subsequent predominance of women in the field. Sources include archival research and personal interviews. In addition, a review was undertaken of the current literature on early women dentists, the history of dentistry in Argentina, and the professionalization of dentistry.

Introduction: In the reconstructive phase of medico-legal human identification, the sex estimation is crucial in the reconstruction of the biological profile and can be applied both in identifying victims of mass disasters and in the autopsy room. Due to the inherent subjectivity associated with traditional methods, artificial intelligence, specifically, convolutional neural networks (CNN) may present a competitive option.
Objectives: This study evaluates the reliability of VGG16 model as an accurate forensic sex prediction algorithm and its performance using orthopantomography (OPGs).

Background: The application of international recommendations for paediatric maintenance haemodialysis (HD) could be strengthened by national laws or written recommendations. Our aim was therefore to describe the national rules governing paediatric maintenance HD in European countries.
Methods: A national representative, approved by the president of each paediatric nephrology society, was contacted in all 42 European countries to complete two online questionnaires.

Cognitive changes associated with PASC may not be uniform across populations. We conducted individual-level pooled analyses and meta-analyses of cognitive assessments from eight prospective cohorts, comprising 2,105 patients and 1,432 controls from Argentina, Canada, Chile, Greece, India, Italy, Russia, and the UK. The meta-analysis found no differences by country of origin.

Amino-quinolines are potential candidates that may provide some insight into the current chemotherapeutic research due to their demonstrated anti-cancer activity. This led us to synthesize and explore a new amino-azo-quinoline ligand H2L 1 and its square planar nickel(II) complexes [Ni(HL)(OAc)], 2 and [Ni(HL)Cl], 3 and the structures were determined by SCXRD. Theoretical investigation of redox orbitals of the complexes discloses that the reduction process is due to ligand reduction whereas both metal and ligand are contributing towards oxidation.
