Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the biomechanical performance of different designs of three-unit implant-supported prostheses using two materials (Zirconia and PEKK) under various loading conditions.
- Three models were created with different implant placements to analyze three designs: distal cantilever, fixed-fixed, and mesial cantilever, utilizing finite element analysis for stress evaluation.
- Results indicated that the fixed-fixed design performed best, with PEKK showing lower stress in some areas but higher stress in others compared to Zirconia, highlighting the importance of design and material choice in prosthodontics.
Evaluating the Impact of Dietary and Water-Based Probiotics on Tilapia Health and Resistance to Aeromonas hydrophila.
Probiotics Antimicrob Proteins
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- * The study evaluated the effects of probiotics on Nile tilapia by testing different methods of administration (feed, water, or both) over 12 weeks.
- * Results showed that probiotics enhanced growth, feed efficiency, and immune responses, with the best outcomes from the combined feed and water approach, highlighting the need for optimized probiotic use in aquaculture.
Purpose: The present study evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of important proteomic salivary biomarkers; IL-6, IL-8, and sCD44 in the early detection of oral cancer, and any possible associations with risk factors of oral cancer in an Egyptian population.
Methods: The present investigation was conducted on 100 individuals; 25 healthy controls, 25 patients having oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) with dysplasia; 25 patients having OPMDs without dysplasia, and 25 oral cancer patients. Demographic data modified gingival index, oral hygiene level, and salivary levels of the biomarkers were assessed.
Background: Limited understanding of the biology predisposing certain human papillomavirus-related (HPV+) oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCCs) to relapse impedes therapeutic personalization. We aimed to identify molecular traits that distinguish recurrence-prone tumors.
Methods: 50 HPV+ OPSCCs that later recurred (cases) and 50 non-recurrent controls matched for stage, therapy, and smoking history were RNA-sequenced.
