Abstract

Research shows that a high percentage of endodontic patients are interested in receiving intravenous (IV) sedation. The objectives of this study were to assess endodontists' IV sedation-related education, attitudes, and professional behavior and to explore whether providing versus not offering IV sedation procedures was associated with IV-related education and attitudes and whether background characteristics and education were related with IV sedation attitudes and behavior. Data were collected with an anonymous Web-based survey from 616 members of the American Association of Endodontists (response rate = 29%). Only 10% of respondents agreed/strongly agreed that they had adequate training in IV sedation. However, 48% agreed/strongly agreed that there was a need for IV sedation in their practice. Although 69% did not offer IV sedation, 26% had another professional provide it, and 4% provided it themselves. These 3 groups of providers differed in the mean quality of their IV sedation-related education (scale from 1-5 with 5 = best education: 1.50 vs 1.62/2.37, P < .001) and the positivity of their attitudes toward IV sedation (2.90 vs 3.50/4.21, P < .001). Although the quality of IV sedation education was not correlated with the ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
