Article Abstract
Background: Future dental applications of artificial intelligence (AI) are anticipated to be widely adopted across all dental specialities. However, there are some concerns among many users about the accuracy of the given information. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate postgraduate' dental students' perception, usage, and concerns towards AI systems' applications.
Materials And Methods: An online self-administered survey, consisting of 19 closed-ended questions in the English language, and a 3-point Likert-type scale was used to obtain a simple and straightforward response from participants in a "forced-choice" response format that was distributed to postgraduate dental students in the faculty of dentistry of multiple Universities.
Results: Younger participants and BDS holders are more likely to use AI-based software (p < 0.001), as well as showing more optimism about AI's potential to advance dentistry, whereas PhD holders are more skeptical about its integral role in healthcare (p < 0.001). Speciality influenced AI adoption significantly, with Endodontics showing the highest percentage (52.4% for 1 + years of AI usage; p = 0.006). Concerns about AI reliability and originality in research vary significantly by level of education and Speciality (p < 0.05). Younger participants show greater belief in AI's potential for major advancements in dentistry (p < 0.001).
Conclusions: Postgraduate dental students generally perceive AI positively, recognizing its potential to enhance care. Usage remains moderate, with higher adoption in specialities like Endodontics and Periodontics. Concerns include AI's accuracy, ethical implications, and integration challenges, highlighting the need for further education and research.
Clinical Trial Number: Not applicable.

Objective: This study applied the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) to explore the barriers and enablers to optimizing post-operative pain management and supporting safe opioid use from the perspectives of both patients and health care professionals, applying the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF).
Design: Experience-based co-design (EBCD) qualitative study.
Methods: In the initial phase of the EBCD approach, focus groups were conducted comprising 20 participants, including 8 patients and 12 health care professionals involved in post-operative care.
Background: New psychoactive substances (NPS) represent a global problem, especially among young people. In Central Asia, while the trafficking in NPS continues to grow, there remains a lack of data on the social, health and psychological consequences of their use.
Aim: To investigate the motives behind the NPS use among young people in the Republic of Uzbekistan, as well as the medical and social characteristics of this group.
Mindfulness beyond secularization: Beliefs across meditators and non-meditators reflect a consensus on personal development over health and spirituality.

Background: Mindfulness meditation (MM), originating from spiritual traditions but widely promoted as a secular and beneficial practice, is increasingly debated due to potential adverse effects, ethical concerns, and its ties with neoliberal imperatives, challenging its image as a universal remedy. Beliefs about MM strongly influence its reception, usage, and effects but remain understudied, especially in comparing meditators and non-meditators. Understanding these beliefs is key to clarifying how lay perceptions align or diverge from scientific frameworks and to grasp individuals' expectations and motivations, notably in clinical contexts.
