This study assessed the demographic, treatment, and patient characteristics relating to 2-year postoperative failure and success rate of 2 to 12-years-old healthy children that underwent various dental procedures during comprehensive dental treatment under general anesthesia (GA). ⋯ The failure rate of dental procedures performed during treatment under GA was highest among younger children and children with poor oral hygiene at the time of treatment. SSC crown restoration was the most common type of dental procedure received, and recurrent decay and SSC open margin were the most common types of failure detected.

Knowledge and sociodemographic predictors of shisha smoking among students in a Nigerian university.
There is a global rise in shisha smoking amongst the youths. Information on the prevalence and knowledge of the constituents and the harmful effects of shisha smoking is important for the development of prevention strategies and policies. ⋯ The prevalence of shisha smoking in this study was 24.7%, and the most influential factors were the level of study, type of faculty, and knowledge of the constituents and harmful effects of shisha. Lecturers and administrators of different faculties of the university should be engaged to include shisha smoking prevention programs in their curriculum.

Sessile serrated adenomas (SSA) of the appendix and anaplastic carcinoma mural nodules arising in the mucinous ovarian tumors (MOT) are rare lesions. We report a case of SSA in the appendix coexisting with an anaplastic carcinoma mural nodule in MOT. No BRAC1/BRAC2 germline mutations were found in the peripheral blood sample. ⋯ In conclusion, we reported a case of SSA in the appendix coexisting with a mural nodule in MOT. We describe the morphological characteristics and molecular detection results in this case. There was no clear genetic evidence of a correlation between these two rare pathological types.
