Article Abstract
The oxygen (δO), strontium (Sr/Sr), and previously unpublished carbon (δC) isotope data presented herein from the Imperial Roman site of Velia (ca. 1st to 2nd c. CE) were obtained from the dental enamel of human permanent second molars (M2). In total, the permanent M2s of 20 individuals (10 male and 10 female) were sampled at the Museo delle Civiltà in Rome (formerly the Museo Nazionale Preistorico Etnografico "L. Pigorini") and were subsequently processed and analysed at McMaster University. A subsample of teeth (n=5) was initially subjected to Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis to assess for diagenetic alteration through calculation of crystallinity index (CI) values. Subsequently, tooth enamel was analysed for δC and δO (VPDB) using a VG OPTIMA Isocarb isotope ratio mass spectrometer (IRMS) at McMaster Research for Stable Isotopologues (MRSI), and Sr/Sr was measured by dynamic multi-collection using a thermal ionization mass spectrometer (TIMS) in the School of Geography and Earth Sciences. The dental enamel isotope data presented represent the first δO, δC, and Sr/Sr values analysed from Imperial Roman Campania to date, providing data of use for comparative analyses of δO, δC, and Sr/Sr values within the region and for assisting in documenting human mobility in archaeological contexts. Full interpretation of the δO and Sr/Sr data presented here is provided in "Imperial Roman mobility and migration at Velia (1 to 2 c. CE) in southern Italy" [1].

Background: Many patients diagnosed with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) have persistent symptoms despite proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy.
Aims: The aim of this consensus is to provide evidence-based statements to guide clinicians caring for patients with refractory reflux-like symptoms (rRLS) or refractory GERD.
Methods: This consensus was developed by the International Working Group for the Classification of Oesophagitis.
Dental Anomalies in the Past: Fusion, Gemination, and Talon Cusp in Two Archeological Samples.

Institut für Geowissenschaften, Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main, Frankfurt, Germany.
Background: Disruption in odontogenesis can influence the normal development of both deciduous and permanent dentition resulting in anomalies in morphology, number, and position of teeth. Although dental anomalies are frequently reported in clinical practice, their occurrence in past populations from archeological contexts is rarely acknowledged.
Aim: To describe two cases of dental anomalies on two non-adult individuals from Italian archeological sites.
Low Genetic Impact of the Roman Occupation of Britain in Rural Communities.

The Roman period saw the empire expand across Europe and the Mediterranean, including much of what is today Great Britain. While there is written evidence of high mobility into and out of Britain for administrators, traders, and the military, the impact of imperialism on local, rural population structure, kinship, and mobility is invisible in the textual record. The extent of genetic change that occurred in Britain during the Roman military occupation remains underexplored.

Understanding physicians as actors who implemented the early modern ideal of collective empiricism into their practices within the local contexts of everyday life, the paper explores two cases from imperial cities in southern Germany in the 1720s and 1780s in which anatomical studies were contested. By analyzing the strategies and arguments that the two physicians used to justify and continue their anatomical dissections, it focuses on their references to different kinds of (local) community and relates these references to another type of collective: membership in a scientific academy. To examine references to community, it is proposed, offers an opportunity to better understand the spread and practice of the ideal of the study of nature as a collective project and how it was intertwined with concepts and structures of order and society in the Holy Roman Empire.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes how odontogenic infections are managed at Cluj-Napoca County Hospital over a 10-year period, focusing on factors like demographics, treatment methods, and changes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- It found that while infections were declining before the pandemic, cases surged almost twofold during it, predominantly affecting young adults and often stemming from dental issues, particularly in the submandibular area.
- The research highlights the prevalence of negative antibiograms and identifies Streptococcus and Staphylococcus as key pathogens, emphasizing the importance of surgical drainage and broad-spectrum antibiotics in treatment.
