Scorpion stings are a global health problem, potentially impacting thousands, especially across northern Africa and the Middle East. However, scorpions are comparatively understudied compared to other venomous animals, and little is known about their distributions and associated spatial patterns of sting risk. Timely access to medical treatment after scorpion stings is crucial to positive medical outcomes, but it remains poorly understood how accessible health care is for populations at risk.

Materials And Methods: Two reviewers systematically searched 6 electronic databases and gray literature. Studies were deemed eligible if they implemented the desired intervention and included a follow-up period of at least 12 months.
Objective: To assess the evidence about the correlation between objective and subjective methods for evaluating dental anxiety.
Methods: Eligibility criteria were defined as follows: Patients (P): individuals in the dental care context; Index test (I): subjective methods; Reference test (R): objective methods; Outcome (O): correlation between methods to dental anxiety evaluation. Searches were conducted in 7 databases and grey literature up to November 2023, without language or date restrictions.
Introduction: Several guidelines have proposed specific rehabilitation programs to treat symptoms/sequelae in patients with post-acute COVID syndrome (PACS). Only a few studies show that rehabilitation reduce disability after COVID-19.
Objective: To describe the response to a personalized rehabilitation program in terms of exercise tolerance, muscle function, dyspnea, quality of life, and frailty state in a cohort of patients with PACS.
Aim: To investigate whether the use of sports mouthguards (SMG) influences salivary parameters and oral health indices.
Methods: Electronic searches were conducted across six major databases and two sources of gray literature in July 2024, with no restrictions on language or publication date. Interventional studies assessing oral parameters in participants with and without SMG were included.
