CONCLUSIONS: The IORC lenses with an actual MD of 4.50 D provided acceptable objective and subjective visual performance and were well tolerated by children. →
The aim of this clinical, prospective, randomized, and parallel study was to evaluate different in-office treatments for dentin hypersensitivity (DH). One hundred ninety-two teeth with non-cavitated root exposures were treated using different desensitizers: fluoride varnish (Duraphat — FLU); bioactive ceramic solution (Biosilicate — BIOS); universal self-etching adhesive (Single Bond Universal — SBU); bioactive photoactivated varnish… →
This trial-based economic evaluation aimed to estimate the incremental cost of implementing an active learning strategy (theoretical-practical workshop) to substitute the didactic lecture as the sole method for students training in caries detection. We also provided a budget impact analysis and explored the composition of costs related to the activity. Data from the coordinating centre… →
Recent language models like GPT-3+ have shown remarkable performance improvements by simply predicting the next word in a sequence, using larger training datasets and increased model capacity. A key feature of these transformer-based models is in-context learning, which allows the model to learn tasks by conditioning a series of examples without explicit training. However, the… →
Over more than three billion years, natural evolution has intricately shaped the proteins we see today. Through countless random mutations and selective pressures, nature has crafted these proteins, reflecting the deep biological principles that govern life. Modern gene sequencing unravels the immense diversity of these protein sequences and structures, revealing patterns shaped by evolutionary forces.… →

Weight-related discussions during childhood may have long-lasting effects on children’s body image and well-being. However, little is known about how parents frame these discussions with children who have undergone treatment for obesity. Our study aimed to explore how parents perceive weight-related discussions, several years after their children started obesity treatment. This qualitative study is part… →
