Molecular imaging with analyte-responsive probes offers a powerful chemical approach to studying biological processes. Many reagents for bioimaging employ a fluorescence readout, but the relatively broad emission bands of this modality and the need to alter the chemical structure of the fluorophore for different signal colors can potentially limit multiplex imaging. Here, we report a generalizable approach to multiplex analyte imaging by leveraging the comparably narrow spectral signatures of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in activity-based sensing (ABS) mode.

- Initial archwires, specifically Nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti), are essential in orthodontic treatment for resolving crowding and correcting tooth rotations with light forces.
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Copper Ni-Ti 35°C archwires against conventional Ni-Ti archwires in dental alignment and the maintenance of the mandibular arch form.
- Results indicated no significant difference between the two types of archwires in resolving crowding or maintaining mandibular arch dimensions, suggesting that Copper Ni-Ti 35°C performs similarly to conventional Ni-Ti.
Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the perception thresholds of dental and gingival asymmetries in close-up smile images for orthodontists, dentists, and laypeople.
Methods: Seven sets of close-up smile images were created, in which gingival and dental asymmetries were intentionally incorporated using a software-imaging program. The alterations included unilateral changes to the gingival border and incisal edge of the central and lateral incisors and crown width of the lateral incisor.
Article Synopsis
- * FH has a significant presence in French Canada due to historical founder effects, with certain variants passed down through generations in both France and Canada.
- * This research compared cholesterol levels and cardiovascular risks of FH patients in France and French Canada, finding that those in France had significantly higher untreated cholesterol and LDL-c, underscoring the role of environmental factors in disease expression.
