TL;DR: The present study evaluates the potential of en-face optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a possible noninvasive high resolution method for supplying necessary information on the material defects of dental prostheses and microleakage at prosthetic interfaces.

TL;DR: Generally parents of HIV-infected children 6 months to 4 years and 5 to 11 years of age generally reported lower mean QoL scores than did parents of uninfected children, although worse psychological functioning was reported for unin infected children, and no consistent QOL differences among children receiving different antiretroviral regimens.

TL;DR: Urinary TAP obtained within the first 48 h of the onset of symptoms can distinguish patients with severe acute pancreatitis, and the negative predictive value was 100% for mild pancreatitis.

TL;DR: The concept of a unified vascular diagnosis could herald the onset of a potential disease-modifying effect in SSc of therapies that affect the vasculature and the authors outline how to assess and treat these conditions, and also discuss unmet clinical needs.

TL;DR: The suggestion of a gender difference in response to ZDV monotherapy by antiretroviral‐naive study subjects and the lower baseline values for HIV RNA in women compared with those in men provides evidence for gender differences in the relationship between virus replication, CD4+ decline, and responses to nucleoside analogue therapy.
