This study aimed to evaluate the cyclic fatigue performance of different CAD-CAM materials used in various partial coverage designs for premolar restorations.
Methods: A freshly extracted upper premolar was prepared using a high-speed handpiece to create mesio-occluso-distal (MOD) cavities with standardized dimensions.
Real world data on cervical cancer treatment patterns, healthcare access and resource utilization in the Brazilian public healthcare system.
PLoS One
October 2024
The aim of the study is to evaluate the treatment patterns, time to start treatment, and healthcare resources utilization (HCRU) of cervical cancer (CC) patients within the Brazilian public health system (SUS). This is an observational retrospective study using SUS administrative database (DATASUS). Data from January-2014 to December-2020 was gathered from patients with the ICD-10 C53 codes.

- - Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) play crucial roles in cell functions like growth and differentiation, and when their signaling is disrupted, it can lead to tumors and make treatments less effective.
- - This study analyzed gene expressions of specific RTKs (TAM, RON, EPHA2, and MET) in breast cancer tissues using qPCR, focusing on how these expressions relate to clinical data.
- - Findings suggest that the expression of TYRO3, MET, and EPHA2 is associated with factors like tumor subtype, patient age, and lifestyle choices such as smoking and obesity, indicating their potential significance in breast cancer.
Optical and Mechanical Properties of the Multi-Transition Zones of a Translucent Zirconia.
J Esthet Restor Dent
September 2024
Objective: To characterize the composition, flexure resistance, and optical properties of a multilayer translucent zirconia in relation to its multi-transition zones.
Materials And Methods: A multilayer zirconia (5Y/4Y) and a conventional 3 mol% yttria partially stabilized zirconia (3Y) were investigated. Bar-shaped specimens were obtained from the enamel and dentin layers, and the vertical cross-section of 5Y/4Y (N = 10).
