Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is used commonly for a wide range of indications. The complications after the total shoulder replacements have been reported to be related with the prosthesis design. The type of the humeral stem is a consideration to reduce complication. Radiographic changes are seen at a high rate with new-generation press-fit stems. ⋯ The increased radiographic stress shielding adaptation leading to humeral osteolysis was found to have a negative effect on the functional results with the press-fit technique irrespective of stem design.

Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is employed in caries prevention and treatment; however, tooth discoloration post treatment is a significant disadvantage, which can be reduced using glutathione (GSH), a water soluble tripeptide. ⋯ The use of GSH along with SDF helps in reducing the discoloration without compromising the shear bond strength.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
A Prospective Randomized Comparison of INTELLIVENT-ASV and PSV Modes in Terms of Weaning in Intensive Care Patients, Istanbul, Turkiye.
INTELLIVENT-Adaptive Support Ventilation (I-ASV; C6; Hamilton Medical; Bonaduz, Switzerland) is a closed-loop ventilation mode that continuously controls the patient's ventilation and oxygenation. It sets the minute ventilation, PEEP, and oxygen levels based on the targets set by the clinician and on physiological input from the patient. ⋯ I-ASV mode had no effect on weaning duration compared to PSV mode but decreased PEEP, FiO2, Pinsp, and Ppeak values in weaning patients.

Comparative Study
Treatment Outcome of Macular Hole Associated with Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment.
Macular holes are an infrequent association with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, increasing the complexity of surgery and affecting outcome. ⋯ Single-surgery retinal reattachment rate and macular hole closure using any of the techniques is high, and none showed superiority.

Oral health and edentulism significantly impact quality of life (QoL). However, the relationship between oral health-related quality of life (OHQoL) and sexual function remains unclear. ⋯ OHQoL is associated with sexual function in women. Following dental treatment and oral rehabilitation, FSFI scores increased, and the prevalence of SD decreased.
