This in vitro study found that while incorporating 1% nanocurcumin into Calcimol LC and TheraCal PT pulp capping materials significantly reduced their flexural strength, it did not significantly alter their water sorption or solubility, with all tested materials still meeting acceptable criteria for clinical use.
This longitudinal cohort study demonstrates that undergraduate clinical training significantly influences dental students' evolving perceptions of paediatric behaviour management, revealing a strong preference for communicative and reinforcement-based techniques over restrictive approaches while highlighting the need for curricula that explicitly integrate communication and ethical reflection.
This scoping review synthesizes evidence from 30 studies to characterize the moderate-to-severe prevalence and multifaceted drivers of tuberculosis stigma among Chinese adolescents, highlighting the limitations of current interventions and proposing a comprehensive, adolescent-centered multi-dimensional nursing framework to guide future practice and research.
This randomized crossover clinical trial found that while animal-assisted therapy significantly improved child behavior during pediatric dental procedures, it did not produce statistically significant reductions in fear or pain compared to the control group.
This review demonstrates that incorporating novel histopathological variables—specifically tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes, tumour budding, and poorly differentiated clusters—into standard reporting offers superior, cost-effective insights for refining risk stratification and personalizing adjuvant treatment strategies in stage I-III colon cancer.
This study provides convergent pharmacoepidemiological and mechanistic evidence that GLP-1 receptor agonists are inversely associated with migraine reporting, suggesting they may serve as effective preventive agents for migraine.
A descriptive content analysis of 28 recommended undergraduate optometric textbooks in England reveals a significant underrepresentation of dark skin tones, with only 3.5% of graphics classified as Fitzpatrick types V-VI and half of the textbooks containing no such images at all.
This study demonstrates that a modified Cabrol fistula procedure significantly reduces postoperative bleeding, chest closure time, transfusion requirements, and hospital stay compared to standard repair in patients undergoing acute type A aortic dissection repair with concomitant saphenous vein grafting to the artificial ascending aorta.
This post-hoc analysis of a randomized trial in Kyrgyzstan found that while elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in children with acute respiratory tract infections were associated with greater baseline clinical severity, they had limited independent prognostic value for predicting subsequent adverse outcomes such as hospitalization or prolonged illness, likely due to the confounding effect of antibiotic treatment.
This qualitative study of Saudi ambulance clinicians reveals that while they view innovation as a practical means to improve prehospital trauma care and identify specific barriers and facilitators, realizing their potential as contributors requires transparent submission mechanisms, structured training, and supportive leadership to transform frontline ideas into evaluated solutions.
