9 (95% CI 28.4, 37.2), and positive predictive value (PPV) was 33.3 (95% CI 38.0, 38.4). By using the case definition of both the confirmed diagnosis of T1D and either of the claims code of the two insulin treatment methods (i.e., syringe pump for CSII and insulin needles), PPV improved to 90.2 (95% CI 85.2, 94.4).
We have established a case definition with high PPV, and the case definition can be used for precisely detecting T1D patients from claims data in Japan.

The shrinkage of alveolar bone dimensions after tooth extraction is a well-known issue. This clinical phenomenon poses a challenge for clinicians aiming at implant-prosthetic treatment. BonMaker
ATB is a novel autogenous bone grafting material, produced by the mechanical and chemical processing of natural teeth. This pilot case report aims at providing a clinical, radiographical, and histological evaluation of the safety and efficacy of Bonmaker ATB powder in the treatment of EDS class 3-4 postextraction sockets with alveolar ridge preservation.
A total of 9 teeth were extracted from 5 patients. The extracted teeth were prepared immediately with the Bonmaker
device. The extraction sockets were filled up with ATB powder. Six months after extraction, standardized intraoral x-rays and CBCT scans were performed. Re-entry was performed under local anaesthesia. Core biopsies were harvested for histological analysis and implants were placed.
Horizontal alveolar dimension loss occurred, even though ARP was ogical results of Bonmaker® autogenous tooth graft therapy indicate that ATB may be safely and successfully used as a grafting material for ARP. EGCG Optimal graft incorporation and histologically proven effective remodelling, as well as uneventful wound healing support the clinical application of ATB to minimize post-extraction hard tissue loss. Further research is needed to exploit the full potential of ATB and to evaluate the long-term peri-implant hard and soft tissue stability of ATB-treated post-extraction sites.
Prompt dental service utilisation (DSU) is needed for the prevention and treatment of oral diseases, and it is therefore important to determine the facilitators and barriers of DSU. There is, however, scarce information available on DSU in Sudan. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of DSU in a general population-based survey among 18-69year-old persons in Sudan.
Cross-sectional nationally representative data of 7,722 18-69year-old persons (36years median age) from the 2016 Sudan Stepwise approach to surveillance (STEPS) survey were analysed. Using questionnaire, anthropometric and biochemical measures, predisposing, enabling and health and lifestyle factors of DSU were assessed. Multinomial logistic regression was conducted to estimate the predictors of DSU (> 12months and past 12months, with never DSU as the reference category).
About two-thirds of the participants (64.6%) had never DSU, 22.0% had more than 12-month DSU, and 13.4% had past 12- month DSU. with > 12months or past 12months DSU.
More than one in ten participants had past 12months DSU and several factors were detected which could be targeted in intervention activities. Study findings suggest to improve oral health awareness, in particular stressing the relevance of regular dental check-ups, by using different modalities of oral health promotion.

Oral care is acknowledged as an integral component of general health and plays an essential role in establishing the desired level of quality of life for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
To investigate oral health knowledge and dental behaviors in individuals with ASD in comparison with individuals without ASD in Jordan.
A case-control study was carried out among 296 caregivers of individuals with ASD (n = 147) and control (n = 149) groups. A closed ended, validated self-designed questionnaire was distributed. The questionnaire included questions addressing participant's oral health knowledge and behaviour. Data were analyzed using SPSS® software Version 22 with a 0.05 level of significance. A Chi-square test and contingency-table analysis were performed.
Individuals with ASD in Jordan were significantly less knowledgeable about different oral health aspects than individuals without ASD (p < 0.05). Fewer individuals in the ASD group brushed their teeth once or twice daily (89%), comhaviors. Children with ASD and their families should receive appropriate education in special need oral health care given by oral health professionals to reduce the risk of having dental problems and oral disease and enhance their quality of life.Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 was isolated as the retrovirus to be identified in humans. Here, we focused on Ficus pumila L. as a factor that be effective against human T-cell leukemia virus type 1. The significant and novel findings is that symptoms of patients with drinking Ficus pumila L. extracts did not worsen despite a lack of aggressive pharmacotherapy against adult T-cell leukemia, a human T-cell leukemia virus type 1-associated myelopathy, or T-cell leukemia virus type 1 uveitis. Twenty-eight of the 194 inpatients who underwent showed high levels of human T-cell leukemia virus type 1.Among human T-cell leukemia virus type 1-infected patients, those who were administered Ficus pumila L. extracts had no human T-cell leukemia virus type 1-related symptoms, while those who were not administered Ficus pumila L. extracts had human T-cell leukemia virus type 1-related diseases and a significantly poorer prognosis. This suggests that the Ficus pumila L. extracts may show some utility against virus infection.
