Carotid wave analysis in young adults with a history of adolescent anorexia nervosa: a case control study.

Background: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is associated with abnormalities that may increase the risk of future cardiovascular disease. This study assessed the cardiovascular health of individuals who recovered from AN during adolescence by conducting wave power analysis.

Methods: Former AN patients discharged from the Royal Children's and Monash Children's Hospitals (N = 17) in Melbourne, Australia underwent ultrasound imaging of the right carotid artery.

Long-term cardiovascular consequences of adolescent anorexia nervosa.

Background: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is associated with maladaptive cardiovascular changes. This study investigated whether individuals who recovered from AN during adolescence experience long-term cardiovascular risk in early adulthood.

Methods: Former AN patients discharged from the Royal Children's and Monash Children's Hospital Eating Disorder Services in Melbourne, Australia underwent cardiovascular testing.

Response of pre-crystallized CAD/CAM zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate glass ceramic to cyclic nanoindentation.

This paper reports on a cyclic nanoindentation approach of a pre-crystallized zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate glass ceramic (ZLS) to understand its material behavior associated with its machinability in dental CAD/CAM diamond abrasive milling. The material response to the cyclic nanoindentation using a Berkovich diamond tip was quantitatively determined in terms of the indentation contact hardness, elastic modulus, elasticity and plasticity for each loading cycle at peak loads of 2.5-10 mN.

Nano-scale mechanical behavior of pre-crystallized CAD/CAM zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate glass ceramic.

This paper reports on the mechanical behavior of pre-crystallized CAD/CAM zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate glass ceramic (ZLS) using nanoindentation with a Berkovich diamond tip and in situ scanning probe microscopy (SPM). The indentation contact hardness, the elastic modulus, and the elasticity and plasticity of the material were determined using the Oliver-Pharr method, the Sakai model and the Meyer's law at peak loads of 2.5-10 mN and a loading rate of 0.
