Article Synopsis
  • - The study evaluated the internal fit and marginal adaptation of CAD/CAM crowns made from partially and fully crystallized lithium disilicate, using two different finish line thicknesses (0.5 mm and 1 mm).
  • - Twenty human molar teeth were tested, showing that the finish line thicknesses and ceramic types did not significantly affect internal fit, while the partially crystallized type demonstrated a significantly greater marginal gap compared to the fully crystallized type.
  • - The conclusion indicates that while finish line thickness and ceramic type have limited impact on internal fit, the fully crystallized lithium disilicate crown offers better marginal adaptation, making it a viable alternative to the standard material.

The combination of venetoclax plus azacitidine (VTX-AZA) is FDA-approved to treat patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) aged ≥75 years and has become the standard of care for AML patients. However, the literature has not reported an analytical method for determining VTX-AZA in plasma samples. Therefore, developing an accurate and sensitive bioanalytical assay to quantify VTX-AZA in plasma is important.

This paper introduces compact Printed Ridge Gap Waveguide (PRGW) phase shifters tailored for millimeter-wave applications, with a focus on achieving wide operating bandwidth, and improved matching and phase balance compared to single-layer technology. This study proposes a unique approach to achieve the required phase shift in PRGW technology, which has not been previously explored. This study also introduces a novel analytical approach to calculate the cutoff frequency and propagation constant of the PRGW structure, a method not previously addressed.

Background: Cubital tunnel syndrome (CBTS) impairs hand function, with limited conservative options often leading to surgery. Chitosan neuroregenerative effects delivered via phonophoresis provide a rationale for testing this emerging treatment approach.

Purpose: The primary goal of this research was to assess the impact of chitosan phonophoresis on the conductivity of the ulnar nerve, as well as its effects on pain levels and functional outcomes in individuals diagnosed with mild to moderate CBTS.

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is one of the most frequently used food additives that endanger public health. The antioxidant, hyperlipidemic, and cytoprotective properties of seeds (LSS) as a natural remedy can minimize the harmful effects of MSG. This study investigated the potential protective effect of LSS against MSG-induced hepatotoxicity in rats.
