Marginal gap evaluation of zirconia and metal short crowns with varying total occlusal convergence and auxiliary preparation features: an in-vitro study

Marginal adaptation is one of the important factors in determining the long-term success of dental restorations. Despite extensive research, conflicting evidence exists regarding the influence of material type, total occlusal convergence (TOC), and auxiliary preparation features...

Effects of a Lichess-Supported Blended Learning Model on Achievement, Tactical Ability, and Engagement in an Elective University Chess Course within Physical Education

This quasi-experimental study examined whether a Lichess-supported blended learning model improved outcomes in an elective university chess course delivered within a physical education program. Two parallel classes at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education were a...

Meta‐Analysis: Prevalence of Non‐ Helicobacter pylori , Non‐ NSAID Peptic Ulcer Disease

BACKGROUND: Non-Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), non-nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is increasingly recognized as a distinct subgroup, but its proportion across clinical presentations remains unclear. AIM: We aimed to estimate this proporti...

Uncovering Individual Language Vulnerability in Epilepsy Through Functional Connectivity Laterality

Abstract Background Language processing is organized in brain networks, generally lateralized to the left hemisphere. In clinical routine, task-based functional MRI (fMRI) is the gold standard for non-invasive evaluation of language lateralization. However, standard fMRI does not...

3D-printed cranioplasty molds – a technical note on lessons learned and things to avoid

Abstract 3D cranioplasty for cranial defects is growing ever more prevalent. As the technology becomes more accessible, the number of professionals being introduced to it is constantly on the rise. Herein we share our experience with 3D cranioplasty, point out the pitfalls and th...

Complex PTSD symptom trajectories in trauma-exposed adolescents: a five-year longitudinal study

Background: Complex posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom profile, prevalence, and risk factors have been studied in various populations across the lifespan. However, the longitudinal course of complex PTSD symptoms is unknown.Objective: The current study aimed to investig...

Genomic and genetic dissection underlying seedling drought resilience in oats

Drought threatens global crop yields, and common oat, a vital nutritional source for food and feed, is particularly constrained in the semi‑arid regions where it is widely cultivated. Here, we report two high-quality genome assemblies for drought-resilient (Borris37) and drought-...

Effect of Precipitated Particles on Corrosion Behavior of VCrFeTa0.1W0.1 and VCrFeTa0.2W0.2 Refractory High-Entropy Alloys

In this study, the influence of precipitated Laves particles on the metastable pitting of VCrFeTa0.1W0.1 and VCrFeTa0.2W0.2 refractory high-entropy alloys (HEAs) in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution was investigated. Microstructures and corrosion behaviors were characterized by XRD, SEM, TE...

Development of a Juglone/Mesoporous Carbon Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode for Ultrasensitive Determination of Melatonin in Dietary Supplements

A novel electrochemical sensing platform based on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with a juglone/mesoporous carbon composite (JUG-MC/GCE) was developed for the ultrasensitive determination of melatonin (MEL) in pharmaceutical formulations and dietary supplements. Incorpo...

Multi-objectives approach for economic optimization in the smart electrical grid with demand response and electric vehicle

This paper presents an introduction to a multi-objective optimization framework that has been specifically designed to enhance the short-term operational scheduling of energy systems within smart parking lots. The innovative framework integrates the Improved Seagull Algorithm (IS...

Relationship between cardiometabolic alterations and frailty in Brazilian urban and rural older adults

Abstract Background Frailty is a major public health concern among older adults due to its association with disability, hospitalization, and mortality. Cardiometabolic alterations are prevalent in this population and may be associated with frailty. However, evidence remains limit...

Turbidity currents after the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake and their environmental impacts on the Toyama Deep-Sea Channel in the Japan Sea

Abstract The deep-sea environment before and after the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake was investigated using a series of hydrographic and mooring observations in the Toyama Deep-Sea Channel (TDSC), Toyama Bay. Transient oxygen depletion was observed after the earthquake, and low-...

AI-driven design and electrothermal actuation of 4D-Printed carbon fiber-reinforced composites

This study presents a data-driven framework for the design, prediction, and optimization of electrothermally actuated composite structures based on continuous carbon-fiber reinforced shape memory polymers (CCF-SMPs). A Multiphysics model was developed and calibrated against exper...

Clinical study on the combined predictive value of admission neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and stress hyperglycemia ratio for early neurological deterioration in acute ischemic stroke

Early neurological deterioration (END) affects short-term prognosis in acute ischemic stroke. Inflammation and stress-related glucose dysregulation may contribute to END, but their incremental predictive value remains unclear. To evaluate the associations of admission neutrophil-...

Gender Dynamics and Entrepreneurial Visions in South Africa: Insights Beyond Formal Education

Entrepreneurship in South Africa is widely recognised as a critical driver of economic inclusion and job creation. While existing research highlights the role of formal education in enhancing entrepreneurial capability, less attention has been given to how entrenched gender norms...

PARP Inhibitors plus Anlotinib as Bridging Therapy for Armored CAR‐T Cells in Ovarian Cancer Enhances Infiltration and Antitumor Efficacy

ABSTRACT Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)‐T cell therapy is largely ineffective in most solid tumors, partially because of inadequate intratumoral trafficking. Bridging therapy, administered between leukapheresis and CAR‐T cell infusion, offers a distinct opportunity to control th...
