Dental Implant Rehabilitation in Patients Carrying WNT10A Mutations With Different Molecular Statuses and Phenotypes: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Objectives: WNT10A mutations are associated with tooth agenesis. This study aimed to assess the clinical outcomes of dental implants in patients carrying WNT10A mutations with different molecular statuses and phenotypes over a long-term follow-up period.

Materials And Methods: Patients with tooth agenesis were screened by whole-exome sequencing (WES) from January 2010 to September 2023.

Short-term efficacy and safety of upadacitinib combined with 308 excimer light versus upadacitinib alone and 308 excimer light alone in patients with progressing facial vitiligo.

Patients with progressing facial vitiligo who had been treated with upadacitinib, 308 nm excimer light and upadacitinib combined with 308 nm excimer light were selected for retrospective analysis and comparison of their efficacy and safety. Efficacy was evaluated using the Vitiligo Area Severity Index (VASI) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) at baseline, after 8 weeks, and after 20 weeks. The progression of skin lesions was monitored through reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), while adverse reactions were documented.

Histological and Molecular Manifestations of Cleft Myopathy.

Objective: Apart from rupture and displacement of muscle fibers, structural defects exist in cleft muscles but have not been adequately investigated. This study aimed to examine the histological and molecular features of the cleft muscles.

Design: Orbicularis oris (OO) and tensor fasciae latae (TFL) muscle samples were obtained from patients with cleft lip and alveolar.

Direct object recovery from the Fraunhofer diffraction integral.

In this Letter, we present a novel, to the best of our knowledge, approach for recovering objects directly from the Fraunhofer diffraction integral, where the diffraction field of an object is approximated by the Fourier transform of this object augmented by an additional phase factor. This phase factor at the observation plane is universal for the diffraction fields generated by objects located at the same plane and illuminated by the same monochromatic plane wave. It can be first extracted from dividing the Fraunhofer diffraction field by the Fourier transform of an object reference.

Using a visual attentional task and eye-tracking to investigate the effects of pre-takeover resource engagement on attention restoration in conditionally automated driving.

Objective: Attention forms the foundation for the formation of situation awareness. Low situation awareness can lead to driving performance decline, which can be dangerous in driving. The goal of this study is to investigate how different types of pre-takeover tasks, involving cognitive, visual and physical resources engagement, as well as individual attentional function, affect driver's attention restoration in conditionally automated driving.
