Clinical recommendations regarding use of cone beam computed tomography in orthodontic treatment. Position statement by the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology
Conclusions: The AAOMR supports the safe use of CBCT in dentistry. This position statement is periodically revised to reflect new evidence and, without reapproval, becomes invalid after 5 years.

PUM I Revisited: Tradeoffs in Preservation and Discovery
ABSTRACT
An Egyptian mummy designated PUM I (Pennsylvania University Museum) was subjected to a complete autopsy in 1972. Forty‐one years later, the senior author (MZ) was invited back to the Penn Museum to identify several packages of material that had been preserved with the mummy joining the project conservator (MG) in the evaluation of these remains. A summary of the 1972 examination reviews the dating of the mummy, about 3,000 years ago. The mummy was poorly preserved and the only significant pathology was a rare skin disease, subcorneal pustular dermatosis, which was not identified by modern medicine until 1956. Th...

Epilepsy and traditional healers in the Republic of Guinea: A mixed methods study.
CONCLUSIONS: Traditional healers in Guinea provide frontline care for PWE in Guinea with considerable delays in AED initiation, even among a cohort of PWE actively seeking medical care. Engaging with these healers is critical for both influencing community perceptions and appropriately managing epilepsy throughout the country.

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 307: Relationship between Chewing Status and Fatty Liver Diagnosed by Liver/Spleen Attenuation Ratio: A Cross-Sectional Study
Takaaki Tomofuji
This cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between chewing status and fatty liver among Japanese adults. Between April 2018 and March 2021, 450 individuals (352 males, 98 females; mean age 54.7 years) were recruited at the Asahi University Hospital Human Health Center. Chewing status was evaluated using a self-reported questionnaire. Liver/spleen (L/S) attenuation ratio < 0.9 on computed tomography was considered to indicate fatty liver, which was present in 69 participants (15%). Compared with participants without fatty liver, those with fatty liver had higher proportion of 2...

Gaps or links between hormonal therapy and schizophrenia? (Review).
Authors: Trifu SC, Istrate D, Miruna DA
Abstract
Schizophrenia is considered the most severe and debilitating psychiatric disorder. During the 80's, first reports on abnormalities of the schizophrenic brain which could be objectively observed on MRI, CT scans and other imagistic techniques were published. This showed that schizophrenia is a disorder that goes beyond the functional aspect of the symptomatology. The ties between psychiatry and endocrinology are easily observed, even empirically, by any mental health practitioner, and mirrored by endocrinology specialists. Disorders related to menstruation phase of th...

A Case of Transient Global Amnesia: A Review and How It May Shed Further Insight into the Neurobiology of Delusions
Conclusion
In closing, our patient’s episode of TGA combined with her emotional and perceptual response lends credence to the proposal of a “fear/paranoia” circuit in the genesis of paranoid delusions—a circuit incorporating amygdala, frontal, and parietal cortices. Here, neutral or irrelevant stimuli, thoughts, and percepts come to engender fear and anxiety, while dysfunction in frontoparietal circuitry engenders inappropriate social predictions and maladaptive inferences about the intentions of others.[54]

Quamous Cell Carcinoma: Influence on Morbitidy and Mortality in Young Individuals
A 38-year-old man complained of pain in the tongue and a growing mass since approximately 6 months prior. He was smoker and consumed alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, and crack. At physical examination, he complained of difficulty speaking, eating, and breathing. An ulcer with areas of necrosis and hardened consistency infiltrated the tongue, and evidence of bad oral hygiene was observed. Cervical and submandibular bilateral lymphadenopathy with hardened consistency, but without pain, was observed. Computed tomography analysis revealed an extensive amorphous mass in the region of the tongue and buccal floor, infiltrating the ma...

Abstract IA41: Emerging Issues in Cancer Screening for Racial and Ethnic Minorities
Cancer screening plays an important role in early detection; detecting cancer in an early stage has important implications for cancer health disparities. Considerable efforts have been made to increase access to early detection services among racial and ethnic minorities in order to improve cancer outcomes in these populations. However, our recent work has shown that racial disparities in cancer screening continue to exist. For instance, about 40% of women in our national random survey of cultural considerations in cancer screening were not up-to-date with mammography guidelines. Our other work with a community-based sampl...

FDA Cautions Cancer Patients About Medical Marijuana
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a stern warning Wednesday to companies marketing medical marijuana to cure or inhibit cancer — including mesothelioma — and cautioned patients about unsubstantiated claims.
The FDA sent warning letters to four particular companies, citing deceptive marketing in violation of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
“We don’t let companies market products that deliberately prey on sick people with baseless claims that their substance can shrink or cure cancer,” said FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb in a press release Wednesday. “And we’re not going to look the o...

Clinical results and economic considerations of 68ga-psma and radiolabelled choline in prostate cancer
In the recent years there was an impressive improvement in the options for the management of patients with prostate cancer. Nuclear Medicine has significantly enriched its diagnostic options, both in radiopharmacy and in instrumentation, in order to accurately target prostatic cancer cells, thus rendering the physicians able to adopt the best therapeutic strategy. In the present analysis, we have evaluated the available published data about 68Ga-PSMA and radio-labelled choline, two radiopharmaceutical agents for positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) examination, by reporting clinical information and con...
