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.

Observational Study
Effects of Maternal Dyslipidemia on Maternal and Perinatal Outcomes in Enugu, Southeast Nigeria: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Maternal dyslipidemia is one of the consistent metabolic changes during pregnancy. There is a controversy as to whether maternal lipid disturbances in early pregnancy are associated with adverse maternal and perinatal outcome. ⋯ Maternal dyslipidemia is associated with some adverse perinatal outcomes such as LBW, IUFD, still birth, and birth asphyxia. These findings would guide in the care of pregnant women with dyslipidemia.

Comparative Study
Comparison of the Accuracy and Precision of Digital Scans for Implant-Supported Maxillary Hybrid Prosthesis: An in vitro Study.
Numerous intraoral scanners (IOS) devices are currently used for intraoral impressions in prosthodontics. It is crucial to assess the accuracy and precision of these devices for clinical use. ⋯ IOS can be used to make dental impressions within the all-on-4 concept. More comprehensive and clinical studies are needed on this subject.

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.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberan is a locally aggressive tumor that can be challenging to manage if it becomes recurrent. The best attempt at achieving cure is the first surgery. ⋯ Multidisciplinary care offers good outcomes when reconstructive needs are catered for. In our resource-poor setting, it will be beneficial to have an adequate (more than 5 cm margin) excision margin followed by reconstruction of defects by surgeons with adequate training in management of the pathology and tissue reconstruction.
