    Abstract Introduction: Growing body of evidences showed different grades in prevalence of bifid mandibular canals. Because the previous reviews focused solely on patient-level occurrence, hemi-mandible-level prevalence, bilateral symmetry, length, and diameter of bifid mandibular canals were required to be estimated collectively. The research question of this meta-analysis was "What is the prevalence of bifid mandibular canal among patients seeking computed tomography examinations"?
    Materials and methods: In vivo, computed tomography, and cross-sectional studies were eligible. Studies, with less than 100 subjects or anatomic site restriction or controlled class of bifid mandibular canal, were excluded. Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tool for prevalence studies was used to assess methodological quality of all included studies. Random effect meta-analyses for proportion of bifid mandibular canal were done.
    Results: 40 studies met the inclusion criteria. All studies were selected for both systematic review and meta-analyses. Totally, 17714 patients and 31973 hemi-mandibles were included. All eligible studies showed moderate risk of bias on average. Resulting from the random effect model, more than 20% of patients seeking computed tomographic examinations had bifid mandibular canals (BMCs) which penetrated into slightly more than 14% of hemi-mandibles. Of the patients having bifid mandibular canals (BMCs), nearly 23% exhibited such anatomy on both sides of their mandibles. Estimated mean length and diameter of the accessory canals of bifid mandibular canals were 12.17 mm and 1.54 mm, respectively.
    Conclusion: The geographical locations, classifications, reliability test, and voxel size of computed tomography were all implicated in the prevalence of bifid mandibular canals along with gender and laterality, although considerable heterogeneity and bias were detected.

    Abstract Introduction: Although numerous amounts of high-level evidence were present, they solely emphasized the tooth-level prevalence of three-rooted permanent mandibular first molar. Global patient-level prevalence and bilateral symmetrical distribution of this type of teeth were needed to be tackled across the world. The research question was "What is the global prevalence of three-rooted permanent mandibular first molars?"
    Materials and methods: In vivo epidemiological studies undergone with Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) were eligible. The proportions of the prevalence of three-rooted permanent mandibular first molars were presented in the forest plots by random effect model. The calculation was performed with MetaXL version 5.3. Subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis, and publication bias method were also calculated.
    Results: Seventy-two studies from 31 countries were selected for both qualitative and quantitative analyses. 26302 patients and 37994 permanent mandibular first molars were included in the analysis. 9% of permanent mandibular first molars all over the world demonstrated 3 roots. These three-rooted teeth were found in 10% of the world population, more than 45% of which revealed bilateral symmetry of that anatomy. Right-side dominance and no sexual dimorphism were seen in the distribution of three-rooted permanent mandibular first molars. Global tooth-level prevalence of Radix Entomolaris and Radix Paramolaris was 12% and 0.1%, respectively.
    Conclusion: The prevalence of three-rooted permanent mandibular first molars (PMFMs) was influenced by different geographical locations across the world and also by widespread habitation of the Mongoloid descent. The authors postulate that globalization, together with blending among ethnicities, may have a great impact on the reduction or accentuation of the anatomical significance in some populations.

    Abstract The history, electrocardiogram, age, risk factors, and troponin (HEART) score is currently a widely used tool for acute chest pain risk stratification. Relatively soon after its inception in 2008, a number of validation studies on the HEART score showed it to be superior to Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) and Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) scores and at least as accurate to other existing scores for predicting short-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). However, partly due to its focus on simplicity, the HEART score has some limitations. In this article we review how the HEART score has evolved and taken on various modifications to circumvent some of its limitations. We also highlight the strength of the HEART score in comparison with other risk stratification tools and the current guidelines.

    Abstract Introduction: Missed canal is one of the common reasons for nonsurgical endodontic retreatments. The missed canals were frequently associated with periapical pathology. The aim of this systematic review was to find the diagnostic accuracy of CBCT for detection of the second canal of the root canal system of permanent teeth.
    Materials and methods: The articles were selected from seven electronic databases according to selection criteria. All eligible studies were judged by the reviewers. The selected studies were checked with the QUADAS-2 tool for risk of bias and applicability concerns. Finally, 12 studies were selected for qualitative and quantitative analyses. The summary estimates of sensitivities and specificities and SROC curves were calculated and drawn by RevMan 5.3 and MetaDTA software.
    Results: Summary estimates of CBCT for detection of second canal anatomy in permanent teeth were 94% sensitivity and 93.1% specificity. 96.6% sensitivity of MB2 was followed by 88.8% sensitivity of maxillary and mandibular premolars and 81% that of mandibular molars. The specificity of 97.6% for premolars was trialed by 85% specificity of mandibular molars and MB2. For permanent mandibular canines, 67% sensitivity and 100% specificity were estimated. CBCT showed more agreement with detecting the second canal with micro-CT, estimating 100% sensitivity and 95.6% specificity. The highest prevalence of the second canal comprised the highest sensitivity of 99.1% and lowest specificity of 77.5%. After the exclusion of case-control studies, a 3% drop of sensitivity from the summary estimate was observed. Multiple spectrum of the second canal had 8.6% higher sensitivity and 4.4% lower specificity than single spectrum.
    Conclusion: CBCT is informative for detecting the second canal. Clinicians should keep in mind that the accuracy can vary in different types of teeth, with the prevalence of second canal across different populations, and with the spectrum of second canal anatomy in spite of the reviewers having postulated overestimation of the findings.

    Abstract Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) has been shown to be superior to open esophagectomy with reduced morbidity, mortality, and comparable lymph node (LN) harvest. However, MIE is technically challenging. This study aims to perform a pooled analysis on the number of cases required to surmount the learning curve (LC), i.e. NLC in MIE. PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched for articles from inception to June 2022. Inclusion criteria were articles that reported LC in video-assisted MIE (VAMIE) and/or robot-assisted MIE (RAMIE). Poisson means (95% confidence interval [CI]) was used to determine NLC. Negative binomial regression was used for comparative analysis. There were 41 articles with 45 data sets (n = 7755 patients). The majority of tumors were located in the lower esophagus or gastroesophageal junction (66.7%, n = 3962/5939). The majority of data sets on VAMIE (n = 16/26, 61.5%) used arbitrary analysis, while the majority of data sets (n = 14/19, 73.7%) on RAMIE used cumulative sum control chart analysis. The most common outcomes reported were overall operating time (n = 30/45) and anastomotic leak (n = 28/45). Twenty-four data sets (53.3%) reported on LN harvest. The overall NLC was 34.6 (95% CI: 30.4-39.2), 68.5 (95% CI: 64.9-72.4), 27.5 (95% CI: 24.3-30.9), and 35.9 (95% CI: 32.1-40.2) for hybrid VAMIE, total VAMIE, hybrid RAMIE, and total RAMIE, respectively. NLC was significantly lower for total RAMIE compared to total VAMIE (incidence rate ratio: 0.52, P = 0.032). Studies reporting NLC in MIE are heterogeneous. Further studies should clearly define prior surgical experiences and assess long-term oncological outcomes using non-arbitrary analysis.

    Abstract Introduction: Computerized simulation (CS) of surgery in virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) settings are used to teach foundational skills, but its applicability in advanced training is to be determined. This review aims to summarize the types of CS available for laparoscopic colorectal surgery (CRS) and its utility in assessment of proficiency.
    Methods: A systematic review of CS in laparoscopic CRS was done on PubMed, Embase, Scopus and Cochrane Library databases.
    Results: Eleven relevant observational studies were identified. The most common procedure simulated was laparoscopic colectomy. Assessment using performance metrics measured by the simulator such as path length moved by laparoscopic tools, procedure time and number of discrete movements had the most consistent differentiating ability between expert and non-expert cohorts. Surgeons fared similarly in proficiency scores in assessment with CS compared to assessment with traditional cadaveric or porcine models.
    Conclusion: CS of laparoscopic CRS may be used in assessment of proficiency using performance metrics measuring economy of movement. CS may be a viable assessment tool in advanced surgical training, but further studies should assess utility of incorporating it as a formal assessment tool in training programs.
