CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study corroborate the challenges faced by patients with EB in the oral domain and the deterioration of their OHRQoL. These results emphasize the necessity for dentists to engage comprehensively in disease management, encompassing routine examinations, preventive dental care and oral hygiene education. Consequently, enhanced communication is required not only between dental and dermatological teams but also with caregivers.

Nevertheless, the limited number of included trials warrants further large-scale clinical...

Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) tend to experience greater difficulties with social communication and sensory information processing. Of particular interest in ASD biomarker research is the study of visual attention, effectively quantified in eye tracking (ET) experiments. Eye tracking offers a powerful, safe, and feasible platform for gaining insights into attentional processes by measuring moment-by-moment gaze patterns in response to stimuli. Even though recording is done with...

We looked at the presence of sex differences in a large group of autistic toddlers, children and adolescents, who were seen in a large diagnosis and assessment clinic. They participated in measures of intelligence/development, social/communication...
