Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the influence of a framing effect in retreatment decision-making of a root-filled tooth with asymptomatic apical periodontitis (AP).
Method: Two variants of a questionnaire were created in which the factual information about a root filled with AP was identical. The options in the first variant were framed in favor to wait and see (FW) and those in the other variant were framed in favor of retreatment (FR) Two hundred and forty-eight volunteers were by chance given one of the two versions and were asked to choose between having retreatment or to wait and see.
Results: Of the 125 participants given the FW version, 69 (55.2%) chose to wait and see while out of the 123 participants who were given the FR version, 38 (30.9%) made the alike choice (p = .0002).
Conclusion: A framing effect is likely to play an essential role in endodontic retreatment decision-making of root-filled teeth with asymptomatic apical periodontitis.

Background: Re-irradiation in radiotherapy presents complexities that require dedicated tools to generate optimal re-treatment plans. This study presents a robust workflow that considers fractionation size, anatomical variations between treatments, and cumulative bias doses to improve the re-irradiation planning process.
Methods: The workflow was automated in MIM® Software and the Elekta© Monaco® treatment planning system.

Anterior choroidal artery (AChoA) aneurysms pose a challenge for both endovascular and clipping procedures. The eloquent territory supplied by the parent vessel has limited collateralization and its compromise can lead to significant morbidity. This study aims to analyze the clinical outcomes and procedure-related complications of clipping and endovascular treatment of AChoA aneurysms to aid physician decision making.

Objectives: To evaluate cases of persistent apical periodontitis (PAP) and what are the imaging and clinical aspects that could be considered in the PAP diagnosis and in their treatment decision-making process.
Methodology: 423 patients with apical periodontitis at the time of non-surgical root canal treatment (NSRCT) were followed-up for at least 1 year. Periapical radiographic images were used to compare and determine periapical status at each time using the PAI scoring system.

Worrying about perceived threats is a hallmark of multiple psychological disorders including anxiety. This concern about future events is particularly important when an individual is faced with an approach-avoidance conflict. Potential goals to approach are known to be represented in the dorsal hippocampus during theta cycles.

Choices to approach or avoid are common in everyday life and excessive avoidance is a cardinal feature of all anxiety disorders. Here, we used intracranial EEG to define a distributed prefrontal-limbic circuit dynamics supporting approach and avoidance.
