This study aimed to compare the bond strength of a fiber-reinforced composite resin with traditional and bulk-fill composite resins under different dentin conditions and preparation techniques. Eighty molar teeth, excluding the mesio-distal half of the occlusal dentin surfaces of each teeth, were isolated with acid-resistant nail varnish and stored in a demineralisation solution (pH 4.5).

Aim: To determine the effect of posterior vertebral column resection (PVCR) in patients with paraplegia by using the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) score and Scoliosis Research Society (SRS)-22 questionnaire.

Material And Methods: Twelve patients with posttraumatic paraplegia and severe angular kyphosis ( > 60?) had undergone PVCR between 6-24 months after the trauma for severe pain, persistent vertebral instability and difficulty in adherence to rehabilitation. ASIA scores and SRS-22 questionnaire results obtained in the preoperative and postoperative periods, and the last control were statistically compared to assess the presence of any change.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study investigates the impact of two medications, finasteride and dutasteride, on erectile function in rats, with a focus on measuring intracavernosal pressures (ICPs) after treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition affecting many older men.
  • - Thirty male rats were divided into three groups (control, finasteride, dutasteride), and after 8 weeks of treatment, their erectile responses were tested with nerve stimulation, along with hormonal level assessments and histological examinations of prostate and penile tissues.
  • - Results showed a significant drop in ICPs in the finasteride and dutasteride groups compared to controls, but no meaningful statistical differences were found between the treatment groups;
