Atropine (0.04 mg/kg of body weight) and the combination of xylazine (1.1 mg/kg) and ketamine (11 mg/kg) were administered IV to dogs, and cardiopulmonary variables were measured. The drug combination caused hypoventilation, as reflected by increased PaCO2 and a 30% decrease in cardiac index, whereas arterial pressure, left atrial pressure, and peripheral resistance were increased. These variables began returning toward base-line values during anesthesia and were not different from base-line values by 30 minutes.

Background: Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are associated with a high failure rate. Our uncontrolled feasibility study aimed determining the effect of a transcutaneous electrical stimulation system (TESS) on GERD symptoms and acid exposure time (AET).

Methods: Recruited patients with heartburn and regurgitation.

Background: Anatomically formed healing abutments were suggested in literature to address many of the issues associated with immediate posterior implant insertion such as large extraction sockets that are extremely hard to seal without reflecting the mucoperiosteal flap, extraction sockets anatomy that are not suitable for regular healing abutment placement, and potentially high occlusal stresses when planning a temporary implant supported prothesis to improve the conditioning of supra implant tissue architecture and the emergence profile of the implant supported restorations.

Purpose: To clinically evaluate the peri-implant soft tissue profile of single posterior implant retained restorations and to assess patient related outcomes of the implant restorations that were conditioned immediately by CAD-CAM socket sealing abutments (SSA) versus those conditioned by Titanium (Ti) standard healing abutments (SHA).

Methods: Twenty participants received twenty-two single maxillary immediate implants after flapless minimally invasive tooth extraction and 3D guided implant placement in the posterior area (premolar and molar) and allocated randomly into two groups (n = 11), the intervention group: patients received PEEK SSA and the control group: the patients received Ti SHA.

To investigate the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of young children in a randomized clinical trial (RCT) of silver diammine fluoride (SDF) and five percent sodium fluoride varnish (NaFV) to manage early childhood caries (ECC). Children younger than 72 months of age with active dentinal caries lesions (ICDAS 5 or 6) in primary teeth received two applications of 38 percent SDF and five percent NaFV as part of an RCT testing three different frequency regimes (one, four, and six months apart). The Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) questionnaire was completed at three study visits.

Evaluating predictive artificial intelligence approaches used in mobile health platforms to forecast mental health symptoms among youth: a systematic review.

Article Synopsis
  • The youth mental health crisis is worsened by a lack of access to care, but mobile health platforms using predictive AI show potential for improving this access and enabling real-time support for mental health symptoms.* -
  • A systematic review of 11 studies found that these mHealth platforms mainly predicted depression symptoms, with key predictors being smartphone usage, sleep metrics, and physical activity.* -
  • While the predictive performance of these AI models is promising, issues like small sample sizes, privacy concerns, and generalizability need to be addressed before they can be widely used in psychiatric care.*
