Clinical Outcomes of Periodontal Regenerative Therapy with Double-Sided Entire Papilla Preservation (DEPP) Technique for Intrabony Defects: A Case-Series with 12-Month Follow-Up.

Double-sided Entire Papilla Preservation (DEPP) technique was designed to allow access into a bone defect without compromising the integrity of papilla, when the defect extends to palatal/lingual side. This case-series study aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of periodontal regenerative therapy using DEPP technique for intrabony defects. DEPP was performed with two vertical incisions on both the buccal and palatal sites to access the bone defect.

Liquid-crystalline nanostructured membranes for CO separation.

We report herein that self-organized subnanoporous membranes prepared from ionic liquid-crystalline (LC) compounds exhibit CO separation properties (αCO/N ≈ 60) in humid conditions. A bicontinuous cubic (Cub) LC film shows N barrier properties, whereas the CO permeability is kept as permeable.

Test-retest reliability of the computer-based cognitive assessment tool for community-dwelling older adults in Japan: The Otassha study.

Aim: Early detection of dementia is crucial for effective intervention. The computer-based cognitive assessment tool (CompBased-CAT) was designed to assess cognitive function using a tablet computer. While its predictive validity for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is established, its test-retest reliability remains unclear.
