Development and validation of the eHealth Literacy and Use Scale (eHLUS) to measure medical app literacy.

Objectives: This study aimed to develop and validate the eHealth Literacy and Use Scale (eHLUS), a German assessment tool designed to measure health literacy in the context of using medical apps. This scale enhances traditional eHealth literacy tools by focusing on the unique requirements of medical app use, such as integration into everyday life, and self-efficacy.

Study Design: This study employed a mixed-method design.

Safety assessment on CBD-rich hemp extract in sub-chronic cross-sex study with rats.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a phytocannabinoid from Cannabis sativa L., in which there is currently growing interest for medicinal use. Here, we focused on the safety and pharmacokinetics of a CBD-rich (77 %, w/w) full-spectrum hemp extract in male and female rats.

Multi-class plant hormone HILIC-MS/MS analysis coupled with high-throughput phenotyping to investigate plant-environment interactions.

Plant hormones are chemical signals governing almost every aspect of a plant's life cycle and responses to environmental cues. They are enmeshed within complex signaling networks that can only be deciphered by using broad-scale analytical methods to capture information about several plant hormone classes simultaneously. Methods used for this purpose are all based on reversed-phase (RP) liquid chromatography and mass spectrometric detection.

Soft Tissue Response to Titanium Abutments with Different Surface Treatment: Preliminary Histologic Report of a Randomized Controlled Trial.

The aim of this preliminary prospective RCT was to histologically evaluate peri-implant soft tissues around titanium abutments treated using different cleaning methods. Sixteen patients were randomized into three groups: laboratory customized abutments underwent Plasma of Argon treatment (Plasma Group), laboratory customized abutments underwent cleaning by steam (Steam Group), and abutments were used as they came from industry (Control Group). Seven days after the second surgery, soft tissues around abutments were harvested.

Esthetic outcome of implant-based reconstructions in augmented bone: comparison of autologous and allogeneic bone block grafting with the pink esthetic score (PES).

Introduction: To determine the esthetic outcome of implant-based reconstructions after autologous and allogeneic bone grafting.

Methods: From 2003 to 2009, 67 patients underwent alveolar ridge augmentation and were enrolled in the study, 41 meet the inclusion criteria and 31 agreed to take part in the study. Patients were 18-69 years old (mean: 49.
