Analysis of the Morphology, Rheology, and Clinical Applicability of a Hybrid Injectable with Hyaluronic Acid and Hydroxyapatite.

Background: Treating signs of aging requires skeletal restructuring, facial contour redefinition, and sagging skin treatment. Hence, HarmonyCa® was recently introduced in the market, combining hyaluronic acid and hydroxyapatite. However, there are no studies evaluating the physicochemical properties of this material.

Structural, chemical and optical characterizations of an experimental SiO-Y-TZP ceramic produced by the uniaxial/isostatic pressing technique.

This study aimed to produce a new SiO+Y-TZP ceramic via uniaxial/isostatic compression that was structurally and chemically characterized relating to its translucency and flexural strength. SiO and Y-TZP were mixed using a ball mill, pressed and sintered at 1150 °C. The optical and mechanical properties of the specimens were compared to lithium disilicate (LD) and zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS) (Kruskal-Wallis, α = 0.

Thermoanalytical study of sweetener myo-inositol: α and β polymorphs.

This work investigates the thermal behavior of α and β myo-inositol polymorphs. The inositol is a natural compound widely used in the food industry due to its presence in carbohydrate metabolism and its sweet taste. The occurrence of polymorphism could change some physico-chemical properties, such as melting and sublimation temperatures, and solubility.
