In August 1926, two important dental meetings took place in America: the first International Orthodontic Congress (16-20 August in New York) and the seventh International Dental Congress (23-27 August in Philadelphia). Robert Lindsay, British Dental Association (BDA) dental secretary and husband of fellow dentist and BDA librarian, Lilian Lindsay, documented his trip attending these two events. His handwritten diary and letters not only describe the dental meetings and the dentists that went there, but also chronicle the epoch of the great luxury passenger liners and a time in America where business was booming and money was seemingly no object. This article focuses on the journey to America and the orthodontic meeting - the first time a dental speciality had held an international gathering.

The User-Centered Design of a Clinical Dashboard and Patient-Facing App for Gestational Diabetes.
J Diabetes Sci Technol
November 2024
Centre for Cardiovascular Science, Queen's Medical Research Institute, The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK.
Article Synopsis
- The increasing prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has led to the development of a mobile health (mHealth) solution aimed at improving care and management through predictive modeling and risk stratification.
- "MyGDM" is a user-centered mHealth tool that includes a clinical dashboard for healthcare providers and a patient-facing app, offering educational resources, meal ideas, and options for culturally inclusive communication.
- Feedback from both healthcare professionals and women with GDM was overwhelmingly positive, with all participants in questionnaires indicating the app would fit into their lifestyles and assist in managing their condition.
Ultracompact Electrical Double Layers at TiO(110) Electrified Interfaces.

Metal-oxide aqueous interfaces are important in areas as varied as photocatalysis and mineral reforming. Crucial to the chemistry at these interfaces is the structure of the electrical double layer formed when anions or cations compensate for the charge arising from adsorbed H or OH. This has proven extremely challenging to determine at the atomic level.

Article Synopsis
- Current guidelines advise against metformin for patients with advanced kidney impairment, despite limited evidence supporting this recommendation, prompting an observational study to compare outcomes of continuing versus stopping metformin after developing stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD).
- The study found that out of 4,278 metformin users with incident CKD stage 4, those who stopped taking the medication experienced a significantly lower 3-year survival rate compared to those who continued, although the incidence of major cardiovascular events was similar between the two groups.
- The findings suggest that ongoing metformin use may be beneficial for patients with advanced kidney impairment, although the study does acknowledge potential limitations due to residual confounding factors.
