This case series aims to elaborate and discuss the use of the quad helix, a type of slow maxillary expansion appliance in the mixed dentition period in three different clinical scenarios. Especially, in the field of pediatric dentistry, mixed dentition is the most critical stage in the development of occlusion and any malocclusion that can be corrected by the simple appliance in this stage is recommended. The appliance selection is one of the most important steps in the process of treatment planning to obtain the desired result.

Background: Early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD) can improve prognosis, given new anti-amyloid therapies. Both positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging biomarkers are currently used (1). 48F-Fluorodeoxyglucose-PET (FDG-PET) can detect neurodegeneration-related hypometabolism but is costly and not easily accessible (2).

Background: Screening for elder abuse can cause victims to experience feelings of unpleasantness and/or relive painful memories which can be an ethical concern. Ensuring the safety of all participants/users, in our case long-term care (LTC) residents, is of the utmost importance.
Method: Drawing from approaches used in the intimate partner violence and clinical trials literature, we developed a novel typology of harm and a series of procedures to evaluate any negative consequences that might be incurred as a result of participating in the Piloting the Elder Abuse Suspicion Index-long term care: A Mixed Methods Feasibility Study.

Background: Increasing calls for diversity in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRDesearch have fueled significant investments in recruitment personnel and activities. However, the essential work of identifying and authentically engaging communities of color in relationship-building begins well before, and continues long after, study recruitment activities take place. The purpose of this presentation is twofold: 1) to differentiate the work of trust-building and relationship cultivation from that of research study recruitment, and 2) to describe the necessary steps to ensure that relationship cultivation is ongoing and supported beyond the timeline of a singular research study.

Birdshot chorioretinopathy (BSCR) is a bilateral, chronic posterior uveitis with characteristic clinical and imaging findings. Multimodal imaging including optical coherence tomography, fluorescein, and indocyanine green angiography is useful in diagnosis, as well as monitoring disease activity. Cystoid macular edema, choroidal thickening and infiltration, ellipsoid loss, and vasculitis are important imaging markers for disease activity.
