The authors analyzed the established knowledge about clinical and morphological changes at various stages of eruption of the lower third molars, studied new data describing the pathogenetic, histological and biochemical features of their development, packaging, movement to the occlusal plane. The literature review helped to identify a series of current trends that define a number of key hypotheses that summarize the accumulated material and indicate different opinions on the topic under study, which confirms the prospects and relevance of continuing research.

This study compares image quality of PB-CT and absorption-based CT (AB-CT) for breast imaging while exploring X-ray energy and radiation dose.
Methods: Thirty-nine mastectomy samples were scanned at energy levels of 28-34keV using a flat panel detector at radiation dose levels of 4mGy and 2mGy.
Background: The development of environmental consciousness is a necessary part of the full development of society. The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has increased attention to the problems of man's relationship with nature, and the green behavior of both the consumer and the producer. Attitudes toward a green economy are especially important to study in countries rich in natural resources, as they have more opportunities to overcome the contradictions between economic growth and green innovation.

The activity of two other cytotoxic compounds (2E)-1-(7-methoxy-2H-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (compound 104815) and 4-(3-amino-4-methoxyphenyl)-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazole hydrochloride (compound 198732) was close to that of Taxacad: IC 65×10 and 80×10 М, respectively, and are also promising active components for the development of antitumor drugs.
