Intraoral low-temperature degradation of monolithic zirconia dental prostheses: 5-year results of a prospective clinical study with ex vivo monitoring.

Objectives: To investigate the 5-year intraoral evolution and kinetics of low-temperature degradation (LTD) of second-generation monolithic prostheses made of 3% molar yttrium-doped tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (3Y-TZP) and the influence of masticatory mechanical stresses and glaze layer on this evolution.

Methods: A total of 101 posterior tooth elements were included in this prospective clinical study, which comprised ex vivo LTD monitoring (at baseline, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, and 5 years) using Raman spectroscopy (n = 2640 monoclinic phase measurement points per evaluation time) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Four types of areas (1-2 mm surface, six on molars, and four on premolars) were analysed on each element surface: occlusal, axial, glazed, or unglazed.

Bruxism as a new risk factor of musculo-skeletal disorders?

Objectives: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), particularly neck and low back pain, constitute a major public health issue worldwide with a heavy morbidity and economic impact. However, the relationships between the stomatognathic system and MSDs are subjected to debate, data sorely lacking. The study objective was to investigate the association between bruxism (BR) and MSDs.

Uncovering factors influencing railway passenger experiences through love and breakup declarations.

While existing approaches for assessing passenger experience are often limited to surveys of customer satisfaction, societal and technological challenges push the railway industry to adopt a user-centric approach to the design of their service. We used the love and breakup method in a study involving N = 53 passengers making a declaration to their railway company to collect qualitative feedback on the passenger experience. The method allowed to gather personal, emotional, and contextual insights into passengers' experiences that can inform the transportation service design process.

Comminuted intraarticular fractures of the tibial plateau lead to posttraumatic osteoarthritis of the knee: Current treatment review.

Posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) of the knee is a common complication after intra- and extra-articular fractures. Moreover, PTOA may also be a result of isolated cartilage defects, meniscus resections, and ligament injuries. There are various methods of treatment of knee joint fractures.

Aging of monolithic zirconia dental prostheses: Protocol for a 5-year prospective clinical study using e analyses.

Background: Recent introduction of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) monolithic zirconia dental prostheses raises the issue of material low thermal degradation (LTD), a well-known problem with zirconia hip prostheses. This phenomenon could be accentuated by masticatory mechanical stress. Until now zirconia LTD process has only been studied .

Driving while using a smartphone-based mobility application: Evaluating the impact of three multi-choice user interfaces on visual-manual distraction.

Innovative in-car applications provided on smartphones can deliver real-time alternative mobility choices and subsequently generate visual-manual demand. Prior studies have found that multi-touch gestures such as kinetic scrolling are problematic in this respect. In this study we evaluate three prototype tasks which can be found in common mobile interaction use-cases.

Integrin α5β1 and p53 convergent pathways in the control of anti-apoptotic proteins PEA-15 and survivin in high-grade glioma.

Integrin α5β1 expression is correlated with a worse prognosis in high-grade glioma. We previously unraveled a negative crosstalk between integrin α5β1 and p53 pathway, which was proposed to be part of the resistance of glioblastoma to chemotherapies. The restoration of p53 tumor-suppressor function is under intensive investigations for cancer therapy.

[Failure of zirconia-based prostheses on natural teeth and implants: focus on risk factors].

Cohesive fracture of the veneering ceramic (chipping) is the first cause of failure of zirconia-based prostheses on natural teeth and implants. Besides risk factors related to the material (thermal stresses generated during the manufacturing process, framework inappropriate design), there are some clinical risk factors, which can influence the restoration prognosis. Indeed, unfavorable occlusal relationships and/or the presence of parafunctions such as bruxism and clenching, which are frequent pathologies, engender significant overloading.

Clinical risk factors related to failures with zirconia-based restorations: an up to 9-year retrospective study.

Objectives: The first objective of this study was to retrospectively evaluate zirconia-based restorations (ZBR). The second was to correlate failures with clinical parameters and to identify and to analyse chipping failures using fractographic analysis.

Methods: 147 ZBR (tooth- and implant-supported crowns and fixed partial dentures (FPDs)) were evaluated after a mean observation period of 41.

Prevalence of vitamin B(12) depletion and deficiency in Liechtenstein.

Objective: Data about vitamin B(12) (B(12)) deficiency in the general population are scarce. The present study was performed to determine the prevalence of B(12) deficiency in the general population of the Principality of Liechtenstein, as well as to identify sub-populations potentially at high risk.

Design: Retrospective study.

Arthroscopic controlled reduction of femoral condyle fractures using a retrograde navigated approach.

Isolated depression fractures of the femoral condyle are rare, but severe injuries due the destroyed congruency of the articular surface in the weight-bearing region of the joint. In most cases, an arthrotomy with fragment reduction and internal fixation by screws buttress or plates is performed. Disadvantages of this procedure are the approach-related complications.

Endoscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Endobutton/button--a method of endoscopic fixation.

1. Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament may be accomplished in many ways using a variety of autologous as well as allograft tissue. 2.

T-Fix endoscopic meniscal repair: technique and approach to different types of tears.

Endoscopic meniscus repair using the T-Fix suture device (Acufex Microsurgical, Inc, Mansfield, MA) allows ease of suture placement for meniscus stability without the problems associated with ancillary incisions such as neurovascular compromise. It is ideal for the central posterior horn tears that are difficult using conventional techniques. Vertical tears, bucket handle tears, flap tears, and horizontal tears can be approached using a temporary "anchor stitch" to stabilize the meniscus before T-Fix repair.

Platelet crossmatch evaluation in refractory hematologic patients.

Although previous investigators have attempted to identify platelet crossmatching methods that could be used routinely for pretransfusion testing, such studies have excluded patients with underlying clinical conditions inherently associated with low corrected platelet increments. Because many refractory hematologic patients have such underlying conditions, we decided to assess the usefulness of platelet crossmatching (in addition to HLA matching) in determining the posttransfusion corrected platelet count increment in eight medically complicated patients who received a total of 35 single-donor platelet transfusions. In this limited study, the predictive value of a negative crossmatch was only 55%, whereas that of a positive crossmatch was 88%.

Low affinity calcium binding sites of the calcium transport ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes.

Calcium binding sites having low affinity constants of less than 10(3) M-1 were titrated in native sarcomplasmic reticulum vesicles as well as in lipid deprived membranes and in the isolated calcium transport ATPase. Short time calcium binding measurements and the determination of the calcium binding heat allow to distinguish low affinity calcium binding sites located on the external surface of th sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes from those present in the section of the transport molecule directed to the vesicular space. The same number of internal binding sites was found for preparations deprived of their lipid content as well as of preparations depleted of their lipids and of their accessorial proteins.
