Forty nine composite discs were made from three low-viscosity bulk-fill resins (Filtek Bulk-Fill Flowable/3M Oral Care - FBF, Beautifil-Bulk Flowable/Shofu Inc. - BBF and Surefill SDR Flow/Dentsply Caulk - SDR), three high-viscosity bulk-fill resin composites (Filtek Bulk-Fill Restorative/3M Oral Care - FBR, Beautifil-Bulk Restorative/Shofu Inc.

Nevertheless, delta 9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and ethanol (EtOH), often used concomitantly, can have deleterious effects on cardiac mitochondria. We therefore determined whether EtOH, alone and associated with THC, impairs skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiration.

Three etch-and-rinse adhesives were tested: Scotchbond Multi-Purpose (SBM / water-based primer + adhesive resin), Gluma Bond Universal (GBU / single-bottle containing acetone as organic solvent) and Prime&Bond Universal (PBU / single-bottle containing propanol as organic solvent). Adhesives were applied: 1- to phosphoric acid-etched dentin (Control), 2- after NAPP application for 45 seconds to etched dentin or 3- after REHY with water (10 seconds) of plasma-treated etched dentin.

- Antitumoral drugs (ADs) can trigger hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs), and rapid drug desensitization (RDD) protocols are employed to safely administer these treatments at effective doses.
- The "DESARCh" retrospective study assessed the RDD protocols carried out at an Italian hospital over 11 years, including a detailed 5-step infusion method to reduce DHR incidence for patients with various cancers.
- Out of 66 RDD protocols for 25 female patients, the overall success rate was 81.82%, although carboplatin had a significantly lower success rate compared to other ADs, highlighting the need for further research in this area.
