Article Abstract
Introduction: This randomized clinical trial assessed the effect of preoperative intraoral cryotherapy application on the success rate of inferior alveolar nerve blocks (IANBs) in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (SIP).
Methods: One hundred four patients with SIP were randomly distributed into 2 groups: control and cryotherapy groups. In the control group, patients received an IANB injection with 2% lidocaine. In the cryotherapy group, intraoral cryotherapy application was performed for 5 minutes after the IANB. Endodontic therapy was then conducted 15 minutes after the IANB injection. If the patients reported moderate or severe pain during the procedure, the IANB was defined as "unsuccessful," and a supplementary injection was administered.
Results: All patients reported profound lip numbness. The overall success rate for the IANBs was 43.3%. In the cryotherapy group, the success rate of the IANBs was 55.8%, whereas in the control group it was 30.8% (P < .05).
Conclusions: Intraoral cryotherapy application increased the success rate of IANBs in mandibular molar teeth with SIP. However, supplemental anesthesia techniques may still be required to provide profound pulpal anesthesia in many cases.

Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) are the standard technique used in forensic genetics for individual identification due to their high polymorphism and robustness. Although Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) enables the analysis of many STRs, Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) offers enhanced resolution and the ability to detect STRs' isoalleles and their flanking regions, enhancing the discrimination power of this analysis. Despite the fact that STR kits for NGS are well standardized for evaluating forensic samples, there is no data on their effectiveness in differentiating monozygotic (MZ) twins, which are indistinguishable by CE.

Introduction: Intracranial atherosclerosis is the main cause of stroke globally, with acute large vessel occlusive (LVO) stroke being a predominant contributor to stroke-related mortality. In recent years, aspiration thrombectomy (AT) has emerged as a novel therapeutic method for treating acute LVO stroke. The purpose of this study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of AT alone or combined with stent retriever thrombectomy (SRT) in the treatment of acute LVO stroke METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is a multicentre and observational real-world study involving patients diagnosed with acute LVO stroke.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate treatment indications, compare therapeutic approaches, and assess outcomes in patients with infrarenal penetrating aortic ulcers (iPAUs).
Methods: This was a retrospective, multicentre, observational study of patients with iPAUs treated between January 2018 and December 2022 across 12 European centres. Treatment strategies included open surgical repair (OSR) and endovascular techniques, including balloon expandable stent grafts (BESGs), covered endovascular reconstruction of the aortic bifurcation (CERAB), and endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) using bifurcated or tube grafts.
