Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, Postal Number 590, P.O. Box 9101, Nijmegen, 6500 HB, The Netherlands.
Objective: Panoramic radiographs (PRs) provide a comprehensive view of the oral and maxillofacial region and are used routinely to assess dental and osseous pathologies. Artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to improve the diagnostic accuracy of PRs compared to bitewings and periapical radiographs. This study aimed to evaluate the advantages and challenges of using publicly available datasets in dental AI research, focusing on solving the novel task of predicting tooth segmentations, FDI numbers, and tooth diagnoses, simultaneously.

Objective/background: Expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) has been a treatment option for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). ULTepap is a new FDA-cleared EPAP device that seals the nares with a nasal pillow interface. Comparisons of expiratory pressures generated by ULTepap and other EPAP devices like Provent, Bongo Rx, and Theravent are not available.

Confident identification of unknown chemicals in high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) screening studies requires cohesive workflows and complementary data, tools, and software. Chemistry databases, screening libraries, and chemical metadata have become fixtures in identification workflows. To increase confidence in compound identifications, the use of structural fragmentation data collected via tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS or MS) is vital.
