Repeated Use of Emergency Departments for Nontraumatic Dental Conditions: Factors Associated With Being a Superutilizer

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Due to inadequate access to regular, affordable dental care, many patients turn to emergency departments (EDs) for the treatment of nontraumatic dental conditions (NTDCs). NTDC ED visits are a large burden on the U.S. healthcare system, with over 1.3 million visits each year and over $1 billion in associated charges.

Evolutionary legacies structure the geography of seagrass traits across the world's oceans

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Traits modulate species' ability to track shifts in climate, yet the extent to which traits have been shaped by the contemporary environment and/or historical processes remains poorly understood. Here, we fill this gap for the world's seagrasses, habitat‐forming species that provide critical ecosystem services.

Accuracy of surrogate outcomes in predicting true endpoints of surgical periodontal therapy. A narrative review with a 20‐year longitudinal analysis

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Periodontal clinical trials commonly use surrogate end points (e.g., probing pocket depth [PPD], clinical attachment level [CAL], bleeding on probing [BoP], and composite scores such as the Periodontal Risk Score [PRS]) for efficiency, yet tooth loss, treatment burden/cost, and re‐treatment are the definitive patient‐relevant ...

Quantifying Multidimensional Effects in Linear Site Response Using 1D and 2D Simulations of Sedimentary Basins in Wellington, New Zealand

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
This study quantifies the influence of multidimensional effects on site response in the Wellington region of New Zealand by comparing results from different simulation approaches. Response‐spectral amplification functions from 1D and 2D site response analyses are compared to quantify the magnitude and spatial distribution of multidimensional effects ...

Simultaneous Assessment of Intracranial Artery and Paravascular CSF Pulsation Using 3D Whole‐Brain Diffusion‐Prepared Cine bSSFP (DECAF) MRI

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 96, Issue 2, Page 727-740, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose To propose a noninvasive and quantitative MRI approach to simultaneously assessing intracranial artery pulsation and paravascular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pulsation in the human brain. Methods We developed a 3D whole‐brain Diffusion‐prepared Cine bSSFP (DECAF) MRI technique, with improved motion‐sensitized driven‐equilibrium providing

Tumor‐educated platelets in cancer diagnostics and prognostics: A critical appraisal and roadmap for clinical translation

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 2, Page 302-319, 15 July 2026.
Abstract Tumor‐educated platelets (TEPs) are emerging as a compelling frontier in liquid biopsy, functioning as dynamic, systemic sensors that sequester and process tumor‐derived biomolecules. This interaction imprints an integrated molecular signature of malignancy—spanning the transcriptome, proteome, lipidome, and crucially, the captured genome ...
