Background: A new classification for Periodontal and Peri-implant Diseases and Conditions was introduced in the 2017 World Workshop. In the past the 1999 Armitage Classification was commonly used in practice. This study aimed to assess the ease and practicability of retroactively diagnosing a subset of patients formerly diagnosed using the 1999 AAP/CDC classification with the 2017 AAP/EFP disease classification.
Methods: A random subset of 10% of all patients referred over a 7-year period (2011-2018) to the Post-Doctoral Periodontics Clinic at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine were reviewed by accessing the Electronic Health Records (EHRs) on axiUm. Patients diagnosed with periodontal disease based on the 1999 AAP/CDC classification (including chronic and aggressive Periodontitis) were reclassified using the 2017 classification (stage: I, II, III and grade: A, B, C).
Results: A sample of 336 patient records were examined. 132 were diagnosed with gingivitis, and 204 with periodontitis. Of these 204 patients, 68 (33.3%) were diagnosed with aggressive and 136 (66.7%) with chronic periodontitis. Patients diagnosed with aggressive periodontitis, 10% were reclassified as stage II, 47% as stage III, and 43% as stage IV periodontitis, and 100% were reclassified as grade C. Among patients with chronic periodontitis, 7% were reclassified as stage I, 65% as stage II, 21% as stage III, and 7% as stage IV; 11% of these were reclassified as grade A, 63% grade B, and 26% grade C.
Conclusions: The majority of those originally diagnosed with aggressive (90%) and chronic (80%) periodontitis were reclassified as either molar/incisor pattern stage III grade C or stage IV grade C periodontitis, and stage II or III periodontitis, respectively. The study demonstrated that it is practical to retroactively reassign a diagnosis according to the new 2017 classification using available information included in dental EHRs.

We investigate the electronic properties of nanoribbons made out of monolayer Lieb, transition, and kagome lattices using the tight-binding model with a generic Hamiltonian. It allows us to map the evolutionary stages of the interconvertibility process between Lieb and kagome nanoribbons by means of only one control parameter. Results for the energy spectra, the density of states, and spatial probability density distributions are discussed for nanoribbons with three types of edges: straight, bearded, and asymmetric.

BACKGROUND Studies using transgenic mouse models have demonstrated that estrogen is necessary for the development of cervical cancer, particularly in tissues responsive to estrogen. Estrogen also protects cervical cancer cells from apoptosis, suggesting its role in the survival and persistence of cancer cells. CASE REPORT An 84-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and stage III chronic renal failure was diagnosed with cervical squamous cell carcinoma, FIGO stage IB2.

Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) in the tumor microenvironment are prognostically beneficial in many solid cancer types. Reports on TLS in high-grade serous tubo-ovarian carcinoma (HGSC) are few, and the prognostic impact is unclear. We investigated mature TLS (mTLS), immature TLS (iTLS) and lymphoid aggregates (LA) in primary adnexal tumors (PTs) and synchronous omental/peritoneal metastases (pMets) of HGSC.

Objective: The optimal initial management strategy for cervical cancer with lymph node metastases (LNM) remains a topic of ongoing debate. This study aimed to explore the correlation between surgery followed by postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) and definitive radiotherapy (RT), as well as their impact on the prognosis of patients with LNM.
Methods: Patients with positive lymph nodes (PLNs) in 2009 FIGO stage I-III cervical cancer were selected from SEER database.

Background: In Alzheimer's disease (AD), specific brain regions become vulnerable to pathology while others remain resilient. New methods of imaging such as highly multiplexed immunofluorescence (MxIF) provide an abundance of spatial information, while analytical techniques like machine learning (ML) can address questions of cellular contributors to this regional vulnerability.
Method: We performed MxIF staining for 26 markers and compared postmortem human samples from an AD-susceptible brain area, the prefrontal cortex (PFC, Brodmann's areas 9, 10 or 46) to an AD-resilient brain area, the primary visual cortex (V1, area 17).
