Digital technology that utilizes 3D printing has become a viable alternative to the traditional fabrication of wax patterns and definitive restorations for pressable ceramics. Digital workflows afford clinicians fewer variables, improved repeatability, and faster design and fabrication times. The print/press technique for producing zirconia-reinforced lithium-disilicate restorations offers benefits in terms of convenience, precision, and improved mechanical properties.

The data presented in this article is generated by a steady-state simulation for performing a techno-economic assessment for comparing three electrolysis technologies in the PtM context. The data is focused on two aspects. First, the description of the steady-state simulation of six PtM systems modeled using Aspen Custom Modeler (ACM) and Aspen Plus (AP).

Article Synopsis
  • The EndoFLIP is a new diagnostic system that evaluates esophageal function in real time, especially beneficial for patients with unclear esophageal motor issues like outflow obstruction and achalasia.
  • The study at San Ignacio University Hospital involved 27 patients, primarily women, all over 18, and focused on cases with inconclusive prior diagnoses.
  • Results showed varied contractile responses in patients, revealing that many had normal or absent responses, which helps in understanding their individual esophageal conditions.

This paper reports a rapid and sensitive sensor for the detection and quantification of the COVID-19 N-protein (N-PROT) via an electrochemical mechanism. Single-frequency electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used as a transduction method for real-time measurement of the N-PROT in an immunosensor system based on gold-conjugate-modified carbon screen-printed electrodes (Cov-Ag-SPE). The system presents high selectivity attained through an optimal stimulation signal composed of a 0.
