In this paper, we describe the dataset captured with our proprietary data capture solution mounted on top of a Land Rover Defender vehicle. The captured data are the real data of drives on various Slovak roads. The total dataset consist of almost 33 hours of driving with a automotive grade FPD Link camera with 30 fps and with additional sensors such as high-precision GNSS sensor and modem towards mobile data connectivity LTE and 5 G.

A tetracalcium phosphate/monetite/calcium sulfate hemihydrate powder cement mixture (CAS) in the form of a paste was used as a socket preservative to prevent alveolar ridge resorption after the extraction of the second premolar tooth in the mandible of a pig model. During the post-surgery period, the animals were monitored daily. No signs of inflammation, infection, or other complications were observed in the defect site for six months.

Diabetic foot ulceration is one of the most common complications in patients treated for diabetes mellitus. The presented pilot study describes the successful treatment of diabetic ulceration of the heel with ongoing osteomyelitis in a 39-year-old patient after using a combination of modified chitosan-based biomaterial in combination with autologous mesenchymal stem cells isolated from bone marrow and dermal fibroblasts. The isolated population of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells fulfilled all of the attributes given by the International Society for Stem Cell Research, such as fibroblast-like morphology, the high expression of positive surface markers (CD29: 99.

Background: Although the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has changed considerably in US adults, it is uncertain whether the burden, risk factors, and temporal trends of CKD are similar regarding prior military service.

Methods: This observational study used National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data to quantify the association between CKD and military service in a generalizable sample of US adults between 1999 and 2018.

Results: The respective frequencies (standard error [SE]) of CKD and military service were 15.
