Intermediate proportions of composted sewage sludge improve Cedrela fissilis seedling growth and quality

Abstract Substrate composition and irrigation management influence forest seedling quality, but the proportion of composted sewage sludge (CSS) suitable for Cedrela fissilis remains unclear. We evaluated seedlings grown in five substrate formulations containing 0, 25, 50, 75, or...

Coadministration of fluoride, trimetaphosphate, and quercetin reduces dentin erosive wear in vitro

Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of solutions containing quercetin (QC), sodium trimetaphosphate (TMP), and fluoride (F), in different combinations, on dentin erosive wear (DEW) in vitro. Materials and methods Bovine root dentin blocks were randomly divided into seven e...

Influence of osteoporosis on tissue repair promoted by different dental materials: an in vivo study in a rat model

Objectives: Osteoporosis is a prevalent metabolic disorder, and its impact on the biological response to dental materials is not fully understood. This study evaluated whether osteoporosis affects tissue repair promoted by MTA-Angelus (MTA) and an epoxy resin-based sealer contain...

Effect of chocolate preference and cocoa content on experimentally induced muscle pain

Abstract Objectives Chocolate consumption has been associated with pain reduction, but it remains unclear whether this effect depends on cocoa concentration or individual preference. This study aimed to investigate whether chocolate preference and/or cocoa content modulate experi...

Speech Outcomes After Primary Palatoplasty With Intravelar Veloplasty and Extensive Muscle Dissection: A Single-Surgeon Cohort Study

This retrospective single-surgeon cohort study evaluated speech outcomes in 79 children with nonsyndromic cleft palate, with or without cleft lip, who underwent primary palatoplasty with intravelar veloplasty involving extensive palatal muscle dissection, performed by a single su...

Non-functional capillary modulates the honeymoon period in congenital diaphragmatic hernia

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) results in lung hypoplasia and vascular remodeling with persistent pulmonary hypertension with significant mortality and morbidity. While only the analysis of the ‘’functional’’ gas-exchange capillary with diverging findings has been publishe...
