Article Synopsis
- - Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer and can often be identified by its unique histological features, with CD10 and BerEP4 used as helpful markers for differentiation from similar cancers like squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC) and certain follicular tumors.
- - A study involving 28 BCC cases, 34 SqCC cases, and 16 adnexal tumors assessed the expression of CD10 and BerEP4, revealing all BCC samples tested positive for both markers while SqCC samples showed no positivity.
- - The findings confirm that BerEP4 reliably identifies BCC and differentiates it from SqCC; however, it struggles with some adnexal tumors, and CD10 serves as an
Pre-sintered zirconia is preferred as a restoration material in dental applications due to its excellent strength and fracture toughness. When abrasive processes were used to obtain the required shape of (Y-TZP) yttria-stabilized tetragonal pre-sintered zirconia, it resulted in material strength degradation in the presence of coolant. Therefore, experiments were carried out on pre-sintered zirconia with diamond grinding wheel to evaluate the performance of cooling conditions such as dry, wet and minimum quantity lubrication (MQL).

Thus to sustain a controlled grinding environment, it is necessary to adopt an effectively lubricated wheel-work interface. The current study was undertaken to assess experimentally the effects of different grinding environments such as dry, minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) and Cryo-MQL on performance, such as grinding force, temperature, surface roughness and chip morphology on Inconel 751, a higher heat resistance material posing thermal problems and wheel loading.

Participants with brain damage restricted to the BG-I of the right (n = 5) or left (n = 5) hemisphere, and 26 healthy participants matched on age, sex and intelligence quotient were tested on positively and negatively valenced pictures drawn from varied stimulus categories (Vijayaraghavan et al., 2008).
