Depressive-Like Effects of Foreclosing: A Cross-Sectional Study of Hair Cortisol Concentration.

Introduction: Foreclosing and home eviction have been associated with various negative health outcomes, probably due to exposure to such stressful circumstance, but there is no evidence about foreclosure and home eviction to elicit cortisol responses.

Methods: Participants who recently had received a court eviction notice were compared to subjects suffering a depressive disorder and to healthy controls in terms of hair cortisol concentrations.

Results: Subjects under the stressful circumstance of foreclosure and patients with depression showed comparable concentrations in most of the hair segments while healthy subjects displayed the lowest levels of cortisol.

GluN3A subunit tunes NMDA receptor synaptic trafficking and content during postnatal brain development.

Signaling via N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) is critical for the maturation of glutamatergic synapses, partly through a developmental switch from immature synapses expressing primarily GluN2B- and GluN3A-containing subtypes to GluN2A-rich mature ones. This subunit switch is thought to underlie the synaptic stabilization of NMDARs necessary for neural network consolidation. However, the cellular mechanisms controlling the NMDAR exchange remain unclear.

Resolution of abdominal hernia with loss of home in two surgical times, in a patient with morbid obesity.

Obesity is a risk factor for the development of anterior abdominal wall hernias. Incisional hernias develop in up to 13% of laparotomies: the most difficult to repair are complex and multiple recurrent hernias with significant loss of control. The best approach to treating obese patients who concomitantly have hernias of the anterior abdominal wall is still a matter of debate.

Logistic Regression Analysis of the Factors Involved in the Failure of Osseointegration and Survival of Dental Implants with an Internal Connection and Machined Collar: A 6-Year Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: Although the long-term success rate of dental implants is currently close to 95%, it is necessary to provide more evidence on the factors related to the failure of osseointegration and survival.

Purpose: To establish the risk factors associated with the failure of osseointegration and survival of dental implants with an internal connection and machined collar and to establish a predictive statistical model.

Materials And Methods: An analytical, retrospective, and observational clinical study of a sample of 297 implants with a follow-up of up to 76 months.

Effect of abutment finish lines on the mechanical behavior and marginal fit of screw-retained implant crowns: An in vitro study.

Statement Of Problem: The design of the implant-abutment connection has been widely researched, but the impact of different crown-abutment geometries remains unclear.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of different crown-abutment margin geometries on the mechanical behavior and fit of screw-retained implant-supported single-crown restorations by using mechanical static and fatigue tests and mastication simulation.

Material And Methods: A total of 45 cobalt-chromium premolar-shaped metal frameworks were fabricated for single-unit implant-supported screw-retained restorations on stock abutments and internal hexagon Ø4.
