Push-Out Bond Strength of Resin-Modified Glass Ionomer Cement and Flowable Composite Luting Systems on Glass Fiber Post of Root Canal.

Background: Posts that have been properly fitted can withstand torsion forces and so provide better retention. The push-out bonding strength of glass fiber posts to the root canal was evaluated using resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) and flowable composite (FC).

Method: Forty single-rooted maxillary central incisors were used in the study.

Above or below 14 years? An orthopantomographic study based on chronological course of eruption of mandibular premolars and second molars in a sample of south Indian children.

In the context of dental age assessment, two significant factors can be studied; tooth mineralisation and tooth emergence. Little is known about the role of a second molar eruption in forensic age estimation. This paper aims to contribute to forensic age estimation using an age threshold of 14 years, studying the eruption stages of permanent mandibular premolars and second molars.

OKlahoma Nitrone-007: novel treatment for diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.

Background: Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is the most common brainstem cancer in childhood. This rapidly progressing brainstem glioma holds a very dismal prognosis with median survival of less than 1 year. Despite extensive research, no significant therapeutic advancements have been made to improve overall survival in DIPG patients.

Assessment of an scFv Antibody Fragment Against ELTD1 in a G55 Glioblastoma Xenograft Model.

Glioblastoma (GBM), the most common primary brain tumor found in adults, is extremely aggressive. These high-grade gliomas, which are very diffuse, highly vascular, and invasive, undergo unregulated vascular angiogenesis. Despite available treatments, the median survival for patients is dismal.

Optimized monoclonal antibody treatment against ELTD1 for GBM in a G55 xenograft mouse model.

Glioblastoma is an aggressive brain tumour found in adults, and the therapeutic approaches available have not significantly increased patient survival. Recently, we discovered that ELTD1, an angiogenic biomarker, is highly expressed in human gliomas. Polyclonal anti-ELTD1 treatments were effective in glioma pre-clinical models, however, pAb binding is potentially promiscuous.

Correction: Tailoring of optical properties of fluorescein using green synthesized gold nanoparticles.

Tailoring of optical properties of fluorescein using green synthesized gold nanoparticles.

Dye-nanoparticle mixtures hold great promise in biological as well as photonics applications due to their capability to tailor the emission behavior of dye by tuning the nanoparticles parameters. However, as compared to the well-defined dye-nanoparticle distance, studies lack the understanding of homogenous mixtures of dye and nanoparticles. In this work, we investigate the influence of shape and concentration of gold nanoparticles prepared via green synthesis on the optical properties of fluorescein dye in a dye-nanoparticle mixture.
