Objective: During the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pandemic, could be observed an established use of online information in the field of coronavirus disease worldwide. As a systematic review study, the present investigation aimed to evaluate related studies about digital health/e-health literacy among university students in the coronavirus disease 2019 era.
Methods: Three electronic bibliographic databases (PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and Google Scholar) were searched from 2020 until June 2022, and articles were screened according to pre-established inclusion criteria.
Results: Fifteen studies were included in this systematic review study. All of the studies were cross-sectional in design, and in total, 45,255 students were evaluated. The majority of studies report health literacy scores among university students that are lower compared to reference samples. Students' health literacy is influenced by different variables (age, gender, socioeconomic background, sources of online information, well-being, and satisfaction with data).
Conclusion: Digital health literacy (DHL) shapes health behaviors and actions. To enhance DHL, multidisciplinary teams from diverse fields can design curricula suitable for students. The internet's role in DHL is crucial, but it can also spread misleading content. Therefore, professionals should provide clear, evidence-based information and encourage critical data evaluation. Future studies should use robust sampling methods, consider students with limited internet access, and address the unique needs of specific populations, such as those with disabilities and low socioeconomic status.

Background: Restorative justice (RJ) is an ethical lens that places emphasis on a community's connection and proliferative impact of actions, promoting communication and establishing methods for accountability. RJ practices can be applied on a spectrum, including proactive community-building practices, community discussions in response to an event, and restorative conferences addressing specific incidences of harm. This article describes an intervention that utilized RJ community-building practices within a medical education environment and evaluates its acceptability and feasibility.

Background: Patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) often exhibit unique anatomical variations in the pterygoid plates, which can influence fracture patterns at the pterygomaxillary junction (PMJ) during Le Fort I osteotomy. These differences may increase the risk of unfavorable fractures, complicating surgery and recovery.
Purpose: The study purpose was to measure the association between the osteotomy level with the PMJ fracture patterns in CLP patients undergoing Le Fort I osteotomy.
