AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates the role of immediate dentin sealing (IDS) in indirect restorations, aiming to determine if it should be a standard practice based on evidence from randomized clinical trials (RCT).
  • A literature review identified data from four RCTs, indicating that IDS can reduce hypersensitivity one week after restoration cementation but shows no difference in longevity of the restorations.
  • The conclusion suggests that while IDS can be beneficial, especially for patients at risk of sensitivity, it should be viewed as an optional step rather than a mandatory one.

Article Abstract

Objective: The use of immediate dentin sealing (IDS) following tooth preparation for indirect restorations is well-supported by laboratory studies. The inclusion of IDS as a mandatory clinical step, it must be firmly supported by evidence from randomized clinical trials (RCT). The objective of this study is to assess whether IDS should be added as a mandatory procedure in all indirect restorations, taking into consideration clinically significant outcomes for the patient, such as restoration longevity and hypersensitivity.

Materials And Methods: A bibliographic search was carried out in the PubMed. In addition, a manual search was conducted in the references of literature reviews.

Results: Data from four RCT were included. Two studies assessed preparations for full crowns, and two assessed preparations for partial restorations. Data from full crown preparations were subjected to a meta-analysis, revealing a reduction in hypersensitivity incidence in the IDS group 1 week after restoration cementation. With respect to hypersensitivity, IDS seems to offer advantages exclusively during the provisional phase and up to 1 week following the cementation of the final restoration. One study has shown no difference on longevity.

Conclusion: The use of IDS should be considered as an elective clinical step during the rehabilitation with indirect restorations.

Clinical Significance: IDS is an elective clinical step that should be considered in patients and preparations with a higher risk of sensitivity between appointments.

Background: Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Fatigue Short-Form (PROMIS-F-SF) is a self-administered, patient reported outcome (PRO) designed to assess fatigue in healthy and clinical populations and for tracking progress during treatment for disorders complicated with fatigue.

Methods: Patients in the Mental Health Service Outpatient Clinics and healthy volunteers were invited to complete a survey, which included the Danish translation of the PROMIS-F-SF, the Chalder Fatigue Scale (CFS-11), and measures of depression and anxiety. We conducted a confirmatory factor analysis of the previously suggested single-factor structure of the instrument.

A novel analytical method was designed and developed that exhibited ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), fluorescence (FL), and resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) signals for straightforward and comprehensive determination of monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) using polyethylenimine-functionalized silver nanoparticles (PEI-Ag NPs). Through a facile one-step experiment, and NaOH assisted, in an aqueous solution of 100 ℃ for 40 min PEI reacted with AgNO to generate PEI-Ag NPs with a yellow color and weak blue fluorescence. Interestingly, phenylacetaldehyde (PAA), a specific product of MAO-B, causes significant enhancement of the three optical signals of UV-Vis, FL, and RRS.

Background And Purpose: Efforts focused on racial and ethnic diversity in Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) programs have been prioritized to increase enrollment of Underrepresented in Medicine (URiM) individuals. While increasing diversity is a positive step, this Program took strategic action to embed Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)-informed principles into all program areas. This holistic approach catalyzed a cultural shift that reflects a deepened commitment to the society we serve.

Unlabelled: Despite the prevalence and severity of enterococcal bacteremia (EcB), the mechanisms underlying systemic host responses to the disease remain unclear. Here, we present an extensive study that profiles molecular differences in plasma from EcB patients using an unbiased multi-omics approach. We performed shotgun proteomics and metabolomics on 105 plasma samples, including those from EcB patients and healthy volunteers.

Purposes: The mediating effect of social support on the relationship between intimacy and perceived partner responsiveness (PPR) was examined among the endometriosis women of childbearing age.

Method: 201 endometriosis (EM) women of childbearing age were investigated in the gynecology outpatient clinic and ward of a tertiary general hospital in Nantong City, Jiangsu Province. Intimacy, PPR, and social support were measured by using the scales of Quality of Relationship Index (QRI), PPR Scale (PPRS), and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS).
