Objectives/Hypothesis
Dysphagia is associated with increased mortality and healthcare costs. The modified barium swallow study (MBS) is the gold standard in assessing oropharyngeal dysphagia, but does not evaluate the esophagus. A barium esophagram can visualize the esophagus but does not evaluate the oropharyngeal swallow, nor does it utilize the expertise of speech and language pathologists. Providers...

Introduction
Recent computer‐guided dynamic navigation systems promise a novel training approach for implant surgery. This study aimed to examine learning progress in placement of dental implants among dental students using dynamic navigation on a simulation model.
Materials and Methods
Senior students with no implant placement experience were randomly assigned five implant placement attempts involving...

Genomic studies have repeatedly associated variants in the gene encoding the microRNA miR-137 with increased schizophrenia risk. Bioinformatic predictions suggest that miR-137 regulates schizophrenia-associated signaling pathways critical to neural development, but these predictions remain largely unvalidated. In the present study, we demonstrate that miR-137 regulates neuronal levels of p55γ, PTEN,...
