Article Abstract
Background: Ameloblastic carcinoma (AC), malignancy originating from the odontogenic epithelium, shows histological overlap with ameloblastoma (AM). In order to unravel mechanisms driving AC, it is imperative to understand the molecular distinction between these two entities. This systematic review aims to highlight molecular and immunohistochemical markers involved in the pathogenesis of AC and to distinguish it from its histological mimic, AM.
Research Design And Methods: Literature search across three databases including PubMed, Web of Sciences, and Scopus was carried out from year 1999 to 2023 for original human case control studies involving AM, AC, and controls as study groups. Various biological markers studied in the literature were grouped based on principal molecular pathways. Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI), a critical appraisal tool for case control studies, was used to assess the risk of bias (RoB).
Results: Out of the 277 studies identified during the initial search, 28 studies were found eligible. These studies reported expression of various immunohistochemical (IHC), genetic and epigenetic markers in AC, AM, and controls through immunohistochemistry and gene sequencing.
Conclusion: Stem cells, epigenetics, and growth factors define the pathways involved in pathogenesis of AC and may prove to be a potential therapeutic target in the future.

Instruments in Spanish to Assess the Mental Health of Adults With Intellectual Disabilities. A Systematic Review.
J Appl Res Intellect Disabil
September 2025
Department of Pedagogy, Faculty of Education and Social Work, University of Valladolid, Valladolid, Spain.
Background: Mental health (MH) problems are more common in people with intellectual disabilities (ID), yet under-diagnosis persists, which may be partly due to a lack of appropriate assessment tools. This study presents a systematic review of instruments used to assess MH problems in Spanish-speaking adults with ID.
Method: Following PRISMA guidelines, a search was conducted in Web of Science, PsycINFO, and Scopus using terms related to ID, MH and assessment.

Background: Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection with growing global impact, including international travellers travelling to and from endemic regions. This systematic literature review aimed to assess the clinical and economic burden of dengue in travellers from non-endemic countries.
Methods: This systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines to assess the incidence, prevalence, mortality, healthcare resource use, and costs of dengue fever in travellers between non-endemic and endemic regions.
Safety of Acupuncture in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sebelas Maret, Surakarta, Indonesia.
Introduction: Acupuncture has emerged as an effective adjunctive therapy for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with concern on the higher rate of adverse events (AE). In addition, timing of intervention, specific acupoints, and stimulation strength are concerning, as high-stimulation electroacupuncture (EA) may increase miscarriage risk. This review aims to systematically evaluate the safety profile of acupuncture in PCOS.
