Evaluation of the Effect of Occlusal Calibration in Periodontitis Patients with Occlusal Trauma Using T-Scan.

Background: High occlusal forces in patients with untreated periodontitis may reflect occlusal trauma-associated periodontal conditions. Occlusal analysis using T-scan might provide the distribution of occlusal loading forces in periodontitis patients. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of occlusal trauma in periodontitis patients and occlusal calibration using a T-scan.

Biocompatible optical physically unclonable function hydrogel microparticles for on-dose authentication.

On-dose authentication (ODA) enhances security by incorporating customized molecular or micro-tags into each pill, preventing counterfeit products in genuine packages. ODA's security relies on tag non-replication and non-reverse engineering. Combining ODA with graphical Physical Unclonable Functions (PUF) promises maximum security.

Rbm8a deficiency causes hematopoietic defects by modulating Wnt/PCP signaling.

Defects in blood development frequently occur among syndromic congenital anomalies. Thrombocytopenia-Absent Radius (TAR) syndrome is a rare congenital condition with reduced platelets (hypomegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia) and forelimb anomalies, concurrent with more variable heart and kidney defects. TAR syndrome associates with hypomorphic gene function for that encodes a component of the exon junction complex involved in mRNA splicing, transport, and nonsense-mediated decay.

Artificial intelligence-enabled mobile electrocardiograms for event prediction in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

Background: Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) often eludes early diagnosis, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been used to predict AF from sinus rhythm electrocardiograms (ECGs), but AF prediction using sinus rhythm mobile electrocardiograms (mECG) remains unexplored.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the utility of AI to predict AF events prospectively and retrospectively using sinus rhythm mECG data.

Fishing for answers to hemostatic and thrombotic disease: Genome editing in zebrafish.

Over the past two decades, the teleost vertebrate (zebrafish) has emerged as a model for hemostasis and thrombosis. At genomic and functional levels, there is a high degree of conservation of the hemostatic system with that of mammals. Numerous features of the fish model offer unique advantages for investigating hemostasis and thrombosis.
