Background: This study aimed to compare and evaluate the marginal fit of nanocomposite computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) inlays. Three types of nanocomposite CAD/CAM blocks (HASEM, VITA Enamic, and Lava Ultimate) were used as materials.
Methods: Class II disto-occlusal inlay restorations were prepared on a typodont mandibular right first molar using diamond rotary instruments.
Article Synopsis
- There are more babies being born early or small, which leads to more cases of a serious infection called neonatal sepsis.
- Researchers looked at data from a hospital over 20 years to see how common certain germs are and how effective treatments are against them.
- They found that the most common germs causing sepsis were different in babies born early and later, and that being born early or having certain germs made it more likely for babies to get really sick or die from sepsis.
Background: Endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) has the disadvantage of the small cage size and by consequence risk for cage subsidence. We succeeded to insert a large oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) cage during biportal endoscopic TLIF.
Methods: Unilateral total facetectomy was performed to expose the exiting and traversing nerve roots.
Recent reports have suggested an association between rotavirus infection and a distinctive pattern of white matter injury (WMI) in neonates with seizures; however, the connection between the two is not fully understood. To evaluate the underlying mechanism, we profiled and compared eight cytokines (IL [interleukin]-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IFN- [interferon- ], MCP-1 [monocyte chemoattractant protein-1], MIP-1 [macrophage inflammatory protein-1], and TNF- [tumor necrosis factor-]) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 33 neonates with seizures who had no other well-known causes of seizures and 13 control patients (rotavirus-induced gastroenteritis but without seizures). Among the 33 neonates with seizures, 9 showed WMI and all were infected with rotavirus (R + W + ).

Materials And Methods: Internal conical connection type implants, cement-retained abutments, and tungsten carbide-coated abutment screws were used. The abutments were fabricated with commercially pure grade 3 titanium (group T3), commercially pure grade 4 titanium (group T4), or Ti-6Al-4V (group TA) (n=5, each).
Study Design: Case report including technical note.
Objective: We describe 2 cases of intraoperative cervical plate screw loosening treated by modified screw augmentation using polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), which used the anchoring effect of hardened PMMA.
Summary Of Background Data: Intraoperative screw loosening during cervical plating is not rare.
Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate the diagnostic performance of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in predicting the appropriateness of liver donation in potential living liver donors by using histopathologic results as the reference standard.
Materials And Methods: This study was approved by institutional review board; all patients gave informed consent for the use of MR data for future research. Fifty-seven potential liver donors (40 male, 17 female; age range, 17-57 years; mean age, 32 years) underwent dual-echo 1.
