Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are Cu-dependent metalloenzymes that catalyze the hydroxylation of strong C-H bonds in polysaccharides using O or HO as oxidants (monooxygenase/peroxygenase). In the absence of C-H substrate, LPMOs reduce O to HO (oxidase) and HO to HO (peroxidase) using proton/electron donors. This rich oxidative reactivity is promoted by a mononuclear Cu center in which some of the amino acid residues surrounding the metal might can accept and donate protons and/or electrons during O and HO reduction.

Collaborative intelligence (CI) involves human-machine interactions and is deemed safety-critical because their reliable interactions are crucial in preventing severe injuries and environmental damage. As these applications become increasingly data-driven, the reliability of CI applications depends on the quality of data, shaping the system's ability to interpret and respond in diverse and often unpredictable environments. In this regard, it is important to adhere to data quality standards and guidelines, thus facilitating the advancement of these collaborative systems in industry.

Background: Type I immediate implant placement has its own advantages like reduced treatment time, number of surgeries and post-extraction bone loss, however, the presence of insufficiently keratinized mucosa poses a challenge for flap adaptation and hinders the achievement of primary stability. Additionally, scientific evidence supports the notion that post-extraction bone loss is a natural biological occurrence that can impact the success of treatments.

Objectives: The primary outcome was to find out the hard and soft tissues changes around the implant following immediate placement and immediate loading.

Article Synopsis
  • Brenner tumors are types of ovarian epithelial tumors that can present as benign, borderline, or malignant, and the case discussed highlights one associated with postmenopausal bleeding and elevated estradiol levels.
  • A 59-year-old woman, who had been menopausal for seven years, experienced postmenopausal bleeding and underwent various evaluations, including ultrasound and biopsies, leading to findings of a mass in the right adnexa.
  • Ultimately, the patient had a laparoscopic hysterectomy which revealed the mass to be a Brenner tumor; the case emphasizes the importance of evaluating persistent postmenopausal bleeding to rule out serious conditions like endometrial cancer.
