Histological and radiographic assessment of the regenerative potential of sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) as a novel direct pulp capping material in an animal model.

Background: This study aimed to assess the histological and radiographic effects of sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) as a direct pulp capping (DPC) agent in immature permanent dog premolars.

Methods: A split-mouth design was employed with three healthy 4-month-old Mongrel dogs, each having 36 premolars. The premolars were randomly assigned to either SHMP or MTA.

Buccal Mucosal Graft as a Second Layer in the Vaginal Repair of Vesicovaginal Fistulas.

Objective: Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) is a pathological communication between the urinary bladder and the vagina. The most common cause of VVF is hysterectomy, while less common causes include obstetric trauma and pelvic surgery. Most cases require surgical intervention.

Facile synthesis of g-CN@Sulfated titania nanocomposites with enhancement visible-light degradation of dyes and antibiotics: Mechanistic and DFT studies.

The photocatalytic efficiency of TiO has been opposed by the fast recombination speed of photogenerated carriers. Here, g-CN -modified sulfate-built-in TiO quantum dots (ST-QDs) were successfully created using a simple ultrasonication-thermal procedure. g-CN-enrapped ST QDs with a 10 nm size were revealed by the characterization results.

Predictors of renal outcomes and mortality in patients with renal vein thrombosis: a retrospective multicenter study.

Background: Studies on renal vein thrombosis have been conducted as case reports or case series. The renal outcomes and mortality risk of renal vein thrombosis have not been fully established. We aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment modalities, and predictors of renal outcomes and mortality in patients with renal vein thrombosis in a large multicenter cohort.

P300 Latency with Memory Performance: A Promising Biomarker for Preclinical Stages of Alzheimer's Disease.

Detecting and tracking the preclinical stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is now of particular interest due to the aging of the world's population. AD is the most common cause of dementia, affecting the daily lives of those afflicted. Approaches in development can accelerate the evaluation of the preclinical stages of AD and facilitate early treatment and the prevention of symptom progression.
