Pain during primary molar local anaesthesia with SleeperOne5 computerized device versus conventional syringe: A randomized, split-mouth, crossover, controlled trial.

Background: Because of controversial results from clinical studies comparing different dental local anesthesia methods in children, the primary objective of this randomized, split-mouth, crossover, controlled trial was to compare pain intensity during local anaesthesia (LA) performed with a computer-controlled LA delivery system (C-CLADS) versus a conventional syringe (CONV). Secondary objectives included comparisons during dental treatment.

Methods: Participants (4-8 years) with tooth pair requiring similar treatment were recruited from five French hospitals.

Pattern-Based Logical Definitions of Prenatal Disorders Grounded on Dispositions.

Biomedical ontologies define concepts having biomedical significance and the semantic relations among them. Developing high-quality and reusable ontologies in the biomedical domain is a challenging task. Pattern-based ontology design is considered a promising approach to overcome the challenges.

Knowledge Representation and Management: Interest in New Solutions for Ontology Curation.

Objective: To select, present and summarize some of the best papers in the field of Knowledge Representation and Management (KRM) published in 2020.

Methods: A comprehensive and standardized review of the medical informatics literature was performed to select the most interesting papers of KRM published in 2020, based on PubMed queries. This review was conducted according to the IMIA Yearbook guidelines.

Visualizing Food-Drug Interactions in the Thériaque Database.

This paper presents a prototype for the visualization of food-drug interactions implemented in the MIAM project, whose objective is to develop methods for the extraction and representation of these interactions and to make them available in the Thériaque database. The prototype provides users with a graphical visualization showing the hierarchies of drugs and foods in front of each other and the links between them representing the existing interactions as well as additional details about them, including the number of articles reporting the interaction. The prototype is interactive in the following ways: hierarchies can be easily folded and unfolded, a filter can be applied to view only certain types of interactions, and details about a given interaction are displayed when the mouse is moved over the corresponding link.

Risk Factors of Redo Surgery After Unilateral Focused Parathyroidectomy: Conclusions From a Comprehensive Nationwide Database of 13,247 Interventions Over 6 Years.

Background: Surgical removal of hyperfunctional parathyroid gland is the definitive treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). Postoperative follow-up shows variability in persistent/recurrent disease rate throughout different centers.

Objective: To evaluate the incidence of redo surgery after targeted parathyroidectomy for pHPT.
