Abstract: Introduction: The American Heart Association and other scientific guidelines recommend emergency medical services acquire prehospital (PH) electrocardiography (ECG) in all patients with symptoms of acute coronary syndrome. The purpose of this article is to critically review the scientific literature about PH ECG. Methods: Using multiple search terms, we searched the PubMed and Web of Science databases for relevant information. Search limiters were used: human, research (clinical trials, experimental), core journals, and adult. All articles about the clinical effects of PH ECG published between 2001 and 2011 were retained, in addition to a landmark study from 1997. Results: Our search yielded a total of 105 articles when all years of publication were considered. When the same search was limited to articles published between 2001 and 2011 for new and current data, 45 articles were returned. A total of 7 articles about the clinical effects of PH ECG were retained for this review. Articles were conceptualized and organized by clinical effects of PH ECG (timing, reperfusion rate, death, ejection fraction, reinfarction, and stroke). PH ECG has been associated with reduced PH delay time, increased use of reperfusion interventions, earlier diagnosis, and faster time to treatment. Discussion: PH ECG plays a major role in emergency cardiac systems of care and can facilitate early intervention by identifying patients with acute coronary syndrome sooner.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to identify and quantify the endodontic literature available for clinical decision making. A search strategy based on Medical Subject Headings for endodontics was developed to examine MEDLINE. The identified articles were limited to human subjects and English. Sensitive and specific methodological search filters identified four categories of information: etiology, diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis. The results were then subdivided by year to identify trends. Between 1990 and 1998 MEDLINE identified 3, 152 articles published in English on endodontics in humans. The number of articles per year (mean a SD) for sensitive and specific searches was etiology (28±10, 1±2), diagnosis (38±11, 1±1), therapy (59±15, 3±3), and prognosis (40±13, 10±5), respectively. The number of articles in each category increased by 1 to 3% each year. There were 150 articles/yr in endodontics in at least 120 journals cited on MEDLINE (see Table 5) on which to base clinical decisions.

Abstract: Introduction: Fracture of root canal instruments is one of the most troublesome incidents in endodontic therapy. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to determine the outcome difference between retained fractured instrument cases and matched conventional treated cases. Methods: The MEDLINE database, EM-BASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Database were searched. Reference lists were scanned. A forward search was undertaken on identified articles. Papers citing these articles were identified through Science Citation Index to identify potentially relevant subsequent primary research. A systematic data extraction sheet was constructed. Data in these studies were independently extracted. Risk differences of included studies were combined by using the generic inverse variance data and fixed effects method. A 2-stage analysis was conducted. The first was limited to case-control studies, and the second included case series in which data were available for teeth with and without periradicular lesions. Results: Two case-control studies were identified and included, covering 199 cases. Weighted mean healing for teeth with a retained instrument fragment was 91%. The 2 studies were homogeneous. Risk difference of the combined data was 0.01, indicating that a retained fragment did not significantly influence healing. Overall, 80.7% of lesions healed when a periapical lesion was present, compared with 92.4% remaining healthy when no lesion was present initially (P < .02). Conclusions: On the basis of the current best available evidence, the prognosis for endodontic treatment when a fractured instrument fragment is left within a root canal is not significantly reduced.

Abstract: Introduction: The purpose of this study was to identify the 100 top-cited articles published in journals dedicated to endodontology and analyze their characteristics to describe the quality and evolution of research in the field of endodontology. Methods: The Institute for Scientific Information Web of Knowledge Database and the Journal Citation Report Science Editions were used to retrieve the 100 most cited articles published in journals dedicated to endodontics. The top-cited articles were selected and analyzed with regard to journals, authors, institution, country of origin, publication title and year, number of citations, article type, study design, level of evidence, and field of study. Results: The top 100 articles were cited between 87 and 554 times. These articles appeared in 4 different journals, with more than half in the Journal of Endodontics, followed by the journals Oral Surgery Oral Medicine Oral Pathology Oral Radiology and Endodontology, the International Endodontic Journal, and Endodontics & Dental Traumatology. Forty-eight articles were published between 1990 and 1999. All articles were published in English and primarily originated from the United States (n = 52). The majority of articles were basic science articles (n = 55), followed by clinical research studies (n = 28) and nonsystematic reviews (n = 17). Uncontrolled case series with level IV of evidence and narrative reviews with level V of evidence were the most frequent types of study design. The main topics covered by the top-cited articles were microleakage and endodontic microbiology. Conclusions: This analysis of citation rates reveals useful and interesting information about scientific progress in the field of endodontics. Basic research and observational studies published in high-impact endodontic journals had the highest citation rates. (J Endod 2011;37:1183-1190).
