Aims: This study aimed to identify the risk factors of using DSM to provide an insight into the inherent implications this has on dental professionals in practice and trainee professionals’ education. Materials and methods: Twenty-one participants (10 dental professionals and 11 undergraduate and postgraduate dental students) participated in this qualitative study using semi-structured interviews in a dental school in the UK. The interviews were analysed and categorised into themes, some of which were identified from previous literature (e.g., privacy and psychological risks) and others emerged from the data (e.g., deceptive and misleading information). Results: The thematic analysis of interview transcripts identified nine perceived risk themes. Three themes were associated with the use of DSM in the general context, and six themes were related to the use of DSM in professional and education context. Conclusions: This study provided evidence to understand the risk factors of using DSM in dental education and the profession, but the magnitude of these risks on the uptake and usefulness of DSM needs to be assessed.

Introduction:The child age and newborn death rate lower down substantially in the last 10 years.Still if we see the death rate of new born is at top.We are losing roughly three out of two newborns every year in first four week of their life therefore, initial time in newborns transition very crucial in survival of newborns specially those who are birth asphyxiated. Purposes: Overall resolution of this research is to recognize an “Utilization, means, effective use of workshop in the professional career” among the nurses working in various healthcare establishment and factors affecting poor utilization therefore,it will help to develop any new measures or modify current workshop protocols study was conceptualized based on The health promotion model presented by Nola J Pender (1982, revised 1996).Materials & methods:This is cross-sectional study used Quantitative research approach,to identify the utilization and association between Personal profile of nurses & Utilization of the NRP Training Programme. Non-experimental cross – sectional research and Exploratory survey design was used where entire tool was made in Google form and send to participants mail id. study was conducted in different national healthcare establishments. The population under this study are registered nurses working in selected healthcare establishments. samples are Staff Nurses working in different Health establishments. Sample size was 278 nurses was taken from a Actual population, 300 nurses was Selected and administrated the tool and 1000 nurses was a Target population.Purposive Sampling technique was used.Tool contains Part 1 for Questionnaire for Socio-demographic assessment. Part 2 for Structured Questionnaire Utilization of NRP training Programme. The reliability of a tool was conducted for the degree of steadiness with which it measures the qualities it is supposed to quantify, Cronbach alpha (r = 0.91), split half correlation (0.90), Spearman-brown prophecy (0.94), Mean for test (81.7) & SD for test is 18.83. Pretesting was done 30 samples to establish the clearness of items, considerate of the linguistic and period required to ample the item. Pilot testing was conducted on nurses of different health establishments on for 30 participants. Administrative permission was obtained from NRP President Main study collected on 278 samples Proceeds for Data Analysis (Descriptive & Inferential) as per objectives. Conclusion: The study concluded with finding Association between utilization with selected Socio-demographic (Personal profile) where Age and primary education of the participants came significant results and Participants exposure to related work area after or before NRP training are associated with the utilization NRP skills.

Background and Objectives: The United States is projected to have a shortage of up to 46,000 primary care physicians by 2025. In many cases, medical students appear to select other specialties for financial reasons, including educational debt. Physicians who were part of two BS/MD programs and received full tuition and fee scholarships for college and medical school were surveyed to examine factors that may have impacted their specialty choice. This population of US students was selected because they do not have educational debt, so their choices could be examined independent of this influence. Methods: One hundred forty physicians who graduated from the programs as of June 2013 were invited to complete a 32-question online survey. Descriptive statistics described the population. χ2 tests and nonparametric Wilcoxon rank-sum (Mann-Whitney) tests compared primary care and nonprimary care physicians as well as those initially interested in primary care who changed before medical school graduation versus those who went into primary care. Factor analysis and Student t-test examined trends among Likert scale questions. Results: For the physicians for whom contact information was available, 74 (53%) responded. Out of 74 respondents, 18 (24%) went into primary care. Perceptions of family medicine, comments from faculty, and lifestyle played a role in deterring students from primary care. Conclusions: Full tuition and fee scholarships alone were not associated with more students choosing primary care.

ABSTRACT Aim There is limited and inconsistent information on some factors affecting visual shade selection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of shade guide type and professional experience on shade-matching results. Materials and methods Thirty Dental students (DS), 30 General dentists (GDs) and 30 Dental specialists (S) participated in this study. The participants were asked to match six target tabs using two dental shade guides: Vitapan Classical (VC) and Vitapan 3D-Master (3D). An intraoral spectrophotometer was used for color measurement of target tabs and selected tabs. The color difference (Conflict of interest: NoneE) values between the target tab and selected tab were calculated. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and paired t-test (α = 0.05). Results of the first five best matches for each target tab were expressed as ΔE1 to ΔE5. Differences in the mean values of ΔE1 to ΔE5 between VC and 3D were compared using descriptive statistics. Results There were no significant differences among the three participating groups in ΔE values when the 3D was used (p = 0.389). However, significant differences were found with VC (p < 0.001). The ΔE values achieved from the 3D were significantly lower than those from VC for DS and S (p = 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). For each of the first five best matches, the mean ΔE values from the 3D were smaller than the corresponding values of VC. Conclusion The type of dental shade guide affected the shadematching results. The level of experience was not found to be an influential factor in shade matching when 3D-Master shade guide was used. Clinical significance Compared with Vitapan Classical shade guide, use of the Vitapan 3D-Master shade guide improves shade-matching results.

Proning awake patients with COVID-19 is associated with lower mortality and intubation rates. However, these studies also demonstrate low participation rates and tolerance of awake proning. In this study, we attempt to understand barriers to proning. Medical and dental students surveyed nonintubated patients to understand factors affecting adherence to a proning protocol. Only patients who discussed proning with their medical team attempted the practice. Eight of nine patients who were informed about benefits of proning attempted the maneuver. Discomfort was the primary reason patients stopped proning. Addressing discomfort and implementing systematic patient education may increase adherence to proning.
