Background: Pre-eruptive intra-coronal resorption (PEIR) is a condition in which unerupted teeth exhibit coronal radiolucency consistent with resorptive loss of coronal tooth structure. These lesions are discovered incidentally on routine radiographs.

Aim: To measure the radiographic interpretation and diagnostic accuracy of PEIR among dental practitioners at King Abdulaziz University Dental Hospital using eye-tracking technology.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 125 interns, general dentists, and postgraduate residents examined five panoramic radiographs, including a case of impaction, and the rest were radiographs with PEIR of different severities. In this study, PEIR recognition was assessed using a validated questionnaire uploaded to an eye-tracking device (Sensomotoric Instruments SMI).

Results: The findings revealed an association between the severity of the PEIR lesion and the detection of the affected teeth. As the severity increased, the participants were more able to identify the affected teeth, and the percentage of overlooking decreased. The dentist's level of education and years of clinical experience influenced the diagnostic accuracy and radiographic interpretation of the PEIR lesions.

Conclusions: The diagnostic accuracy and radiographic interpretation of PEIR lesions were affected by participants' level of education and years of clinical experience. Based on this study, PEIR lesions may remain undetected until they reach advanced stages.

Introduction: Soft tissue lesions encompass a diverse category of diseases from benign to malignant, and their morphology might overlap; therefore, accurate categorization is needed to approach the reporting of soft tissue cytology. The cytology of these lesions is helpful in detecting the features of malignancy, which helps in guiding further management. In this study, we applied the proposed IAC-IARC-WHO cytopathology system to assess the risk of malignancy (ROM) and diagnostic accuracy (DA) for the determination of its clinical and diagnostic utility.

Advances in primary large B-cell lymphoma of immune-privileged sites.

Front Immunol

March 2025

Shanxi Bethune Hospital Cancer Center Lymphoma Department, Shanxi Academy of Medical Sciences, Tongji Shanxi Hospital, Third Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, Taiyuan, China.

Primary large B-cell lymphoma of immune-privileged sites (IP-LBCL) encompasses a spectrum of relatively rare aggressive B-cell lymphomas, such as primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), primary testicular large B-cell lymphoma (PTL), and primary vitreoretinal large B-cell lymphoma (PVRL). Macroscopically, the development of IPI-LBCL may be associated with the dysfunction of meningeal lymphatic vessels (mLVs) and the perivascular channel system formed by astrocytes. Microscopically, mutation in MYD88 and CD79B genes plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of IP-LBCL.

Artificial Intelligence Screening Tool for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea: A Study Based on Outpatients at a Sleep Medical Centre.

Nat Sci Sleep

March 2025

Department of Otorhinolaryngology, the Central Hospital of Wuhan, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, 430014, People's Republic of China.

Purpose: Due to the lack of clear screening guidelines for different populations, identify strategies for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in the outpatient population are unclear, a large number of potential OSA outpatients have not been identified in time. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the applicability and accuracy of artificial intelligence sleep screening in outpatients and to provide a reference for OSA screening in different populations.

Methods: A type IV wearable artificial intelligence sleep monitoring (AISM) device was used to screen adults in the sleep clinic of the Sleep Medical Center for OSA screening, and the general demographic data of the patients were collected.

Thrombotic Microangiopathy: A Devastating Complication After Lung Transplantation.

Transplant Direct

April 2025

Department of Nephrology and Renal Transplantation, UZ Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.

Background: Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) following lung transplantation (LTx) is a rare but severe complication. The pathogenesis is poorly understood, and various risk factors have been suggested. In this study, we aimed to evaluate diagnostic accuracy, identify risk factors, and assess renal, pulmonary, and overall survival of TMA in this patient group.
