Article Abstract
Introduction: Fluorescence-guided surgery employs a near-infrared emitting dye or light source to enhance intraoperative visualization. This study reports the first-in-human application of the Endolumik fluorescence-guided calibration tube (EGCT) during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and gastric bypass (GB).
Methods: Under IRB approval (NCT05486325), two surgeons performed 21 laparoscopic SG and 10 GB procedures using EGCT. Evacuation of gastric contents, gastric sleeve/pouch calibration, and leak testing were performed. Surgical and anesthesia providers completed surveys evaluating their EGCT experience.
Results: No device-related adverse events occurred. EGCT was used by 10/5 unique surgical team members during SG/GB, respectively, and by 20/5 anesthesia providers. All surgical team members rated device experience as good or very good compared to the standard bougie. Visualization during gastric sleeve construction was rated as good or very good, and very good for gastric pouch construction. All surgical members reported confidence in the device enabling consistent gastric sleeve or pouch sizing. EGCT increased surgeon confidence level for device introduction during GB. Among anesthesia providers, 84% rated their experience during SG with the device as good or very good, including 89.5% of CRNAs. Additionally, 75%/90% of SG/GB clinicians believed the device reduced the likelihood of adverse events compared to standard devices. The average likelihood to recommend the EGCT was 9 out of 10 among surgeons.
Conclusion: EGCT improved visualization during gastric sleeve and pouch construction and increased confidence during device introduction for GB; surgeons would recommend the device to colleagues. Further research is needed to assess the impact on clinical outcomes.

Aim: To examine the association of family-centered care (FCC) with oral health indicators among children with special health care needs (CSHCN).
Methods: Data includes the CSHCN population from the 2017 to 2019 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH). Four parent- and caregiver-reported binary oral health outcomes were assessed: preventive dental visits (PDVs), cavities, condition of teeth, and oral health problems.

The increasing prevalence of overweight/obesity among the elderly has significant implications for oral health due to shared pathophysiological mechanisms. Despite its importance, comprehensive reviews on this topic remain limited. This study investigates the association between overweight/obesity and oral health outcomes in adults aged 55 and older.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of tocilizumab, a interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor blocker, for the treatment of acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE).
Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science were searched for systematic review based on PRISMA guidelines. ANE patients treated with and without tocilizumab were included.
[Evaluation of the Infant Skull via Low-dose CT Images Using an Sn Filter and the Iterative Reconstruction Method].

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate whether low-dose CT imaging using an Sn filter can provide image quality sufficient for the differential diagnosis of cranial deformities in infants while maintaining an effective dose comparable to that of conventional radiography.
Methods: We calculated the effective dose for both head X-ray imaging and low-dose CT with an Sn filter. Phantom images acquired using a CT scanner equipped with an Sn filter were evaluated for bone suture visibility at various conditions (from 10 mAs to 50 mAs, every 10 mAs) using a 4-point visual grading scale.
Validity and Reliability of a Self-Administered Questionnaire for 24-Hour Movement Behaviors.

Faculty of Sport Sciences, Waseda University.
Background: Brief measures of 24-hour movement behaviors are needed to easily evaluate their durations. The present study investigated the criterion validity and test-retest reliability of a brief self-report instrument to assess 24-hour movement behaviors.
Methods: A paper-based self-administered questionnaire was used to assess sleep, sedentary behavior (SB), light-intensity physical activity (LPA), and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) with four items in 35 healthy adults.
