Gd Added Mg Alloy for Biodegradable Implant Applications.

Microstructure, mechanical, in vitro and in vivo behavior of extruded Mg alloys with varying Zn/Gd ratios, Mg-2Gd-2Zn-0.5Zr (Zn/Gd = 1), Mg-2Gd-6Zn-0.5Zr (Zn/Gd = 3), and Mg-10Gd-1Zn-0.

Anesthetic Efficacy of Endo-Ice and Intrapulpal Ice Sticks After Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block in Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis: A Randomized Controlled Study.

Background: There is a dearth of studies to assess the effectiveness of cryotherapy as a possible adjuvant in anesthesia. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the impact of pretreatment intraoral ice packs, application of Endo-ice, and a combination of Endo-ice and intrapulpal ice sticks use on the effectiveness of pulpal anesthesia as an adjunct in the management of pain and dental anxiety in mandibular second molars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (SIP) against traditional inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) technique.

Materials And Methods: The randomized controlled double-blind clinical study comprised of 200 subjects within the age group of 20-45 years with SIP involving mandibular second molars and divided into four groups of 50 each.

Role of deleterious nsSNPs of klotho protein and their drug response: a computational mechanical insights.

Worldwide, the burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has increased rapidly and is a lethal disease. The klotho protein plays a vital role in the regulatory mechanism in the progression of CKD. Particularly the decreased expression of klothoand its genetic variations might affect the potency of drugs.

Extraction of biodiesel from vegetable waste hydrolysates and evaluation of its engine performance and emission characteristics.

Recently, microbial oil has become one of the promising next-generation feedstocks for producing biodiesel. While microbial oil can be extracted from different sources, there is only limited work on microbial production from fruits and vegetables. In this work, biodiesel was extracted through a two-step process: microbial conversion of vegetable waste into microbial oil using , followed by transesterification of microbial oil into biodiesel.

RNA and neuronal function: the importance of post-transcriptional regulation.

The brain represents an organ with a particularly high diversity of genes that undergo post-transcriptional gene regulation through multiple mechanisms that affect RNA metabolism and, consequently, brain function. This vast regulatory process in the brain allows for a tight spatiotemporal control over protein expression, a necessary factor due to the unique morphologies of neurons. The numerous mechanisms of post-transcriptional regulation or translational control of gene expression in the brain include alternative splicing, RNA editing, mRNA stability and transport.
