AI Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the impact of nitrous oxide inhalation sedation (NO IHS) on anxiety and stress levels in children undergoing dental extractions by measuring serum amyloid A (SAA) and salivary cortisol (SC) before and after the sedation treatment.
- - A total of 32 children aged 6 to 10 were assessed, with results showing significant reductions in dental anxiety and improved acceptance of dental treatments post-NO IHS.
- - The research concluded that NO IHS is a safe and effective method for reducing anxiety in child patients, facilitating better behavior and acceptance during dental procedures without any adverse effects.
Article Abstract
Aim: The study aimed to assess the anxiety and stress levels on acceptance of dental treatment in child patients approaching dental extraction procedures before and after nitrous oxide (NO) inhalation sedation (IHS) by measuring serum amyloid A (SAA) and salivary cortisol (SC).
Materials And Methods: A total of 32 children, ages ranging from 6 to 10 years, were randomly grouped as TI (before NO IHS) and TII (after NO IHS). Saliva samples were taken for biochemical evaluation of SAA before and after the procedure. Subjectively anxiety and stress levels were evaluated using modified child dental anxiety scale (MCDAS). Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to compare the means of dental anxiety, SAA, and SC before and after NO IHS. The Karl Pearson correlation coefficient was employed to determine the correlation between dental anxiety and SAA and SC before and after NO IHS.
Results: There were significant differences in the dental anxiety level in child patients after administration of NO IHS, and it also showed an increased rate of acceptance of dental treatment.
Conclusion: This study showed that NO is a safe and effective method in reducing dental anxiety and increasing acceptance of dental treatment in child patients with improved behavior and with no adverse effects.
Clinical Significance: Anxiety and stress will always hinder the acceptance of dental treatment in child patients, especially during extraction procedures. NO IHS is a safe and effective technique to overcome anxiety and stress in child patients and as well as allows them to undergo dental treatment with improved behavior.

Effectiveness of Video Teletherapy in Treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in Children and Adolescents With Exposure and Response Prevention: Retrospective Longitudinal Observational Study.
J Med Internet Res
January 2025
NOCD, Inc, Chicago, IL, United States.
Background: An effective primary treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in children and adolescents as well as adults is exposure and response prevention (ERP), a form of intervention in the context of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Despite strong evidence supporting the efficacy and effectiveness of ERP from studies in research and real-world settings, its clinical use remains limited. This underuse is often attributed to access barriers such as the scarcity of properly trained therapists, geographical constraints, and costs.

This study examined the effects of treadmill running (TR) regimens on craniofacial pain- and anxiety-like behaviors, as well as their effects on neural changes in specific brain regions of male mice subjected to repeated social defeat stress (SDS) for 10 days. Behavioral and immunohistochemical experiments were conducted to evaluate the impact of TR regimens on SDS-related those behaviors, as well as epigenetic and neural activity markers in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), insular cortex (IC), rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM), and cervical spinal dorsal horn (C2). Behavioral responses were quantified using multiple tests, while immunohistochemistry measured histone H3 acetylation, histone deacetylases (HDAC1, HDAC2), and neural activity markers (FosB and phosphorylated cAMP response element-binding protein (pCREB).

Perinatal mental health disorders are a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality in childbearing women. The World Health Organization recommends all women be screened for mental health disorders postnatally and have diagnostic and management services available. There are, however, currently no global indicators in use which measure the status and progress of perinatal mental health.

Background: The Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21) contain three subscales measuring depression, anxiety, and stress. Several abbreviated DASS-21 versions have been developed, demonstrating better clinical utility and measurement properties than the original instrument. This study explored the factor structure of various abbreviated DASS-21 versions and identified/validated the optimal one for assessing young adults with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs).

Background: While men have been found to drink more alcohol and have higher rates of alcohol-related mortality, women tend to experience higher rates of alcohol-related consequences, including psychological comorbidities and worse alcohol use disorder (AUD) outcomes. However, gender differences in comorbid psychopathology and associations with AUD outcomes among veterans are less well understood.
Methods: Veterans (N = 126; 32 women) receiving inpatient treatment for AUD completed baseline clinical measures including the Beck Depression Inventory-II, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Early Life Stress Questionnaire, and PTSD Checklist for DSM-5.
