Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of graphene oxide (GO) and hydrothermal aging on the biaxial flexural strength (BFS) and translucency (TP) of ultrathin monolithic zirconia with different yttria concentrations.

Methods: Disc shaped specimens (n = 120) were milled using zirconia blocks (YZ-HT [HT], YZ-ST [ST], and YZ-XT [XT]) with a diameter of 15.0 mm and a thickness of 0.

Article Synopsis
  • The report highlights the efficiency of SbSe nanorods (NRs) in converting light to heat for solar thermal applications, achieving around 57.8% efficiency with specific lasers and heating hybrid membranes to ≈59°C in just 15 minutes.* -
  • Despite their advantages, SbSe NRs have a limited evaporation rate due to hydrophobicity, which restricts water movement to the heated areas, leading to less effective solar evaporation.* -
  • A new macro-channel imprinting technique improves water transport in these hybrid membranes, boosting evaporation efficiency to ≈148% under strong lighting and achieving effective heavy metal removal from water, meeting WHO standards for safe drinking water.*

Solubility and aggregation of proteins are crucial factors for their functional and further biological roles. Aggregation of proteins , such as the amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide into fibrils, is significantly modulated by membrane lipids, abundantly present in cells. We developed a model membrane system, composed of lipid hybrid-vesicles bearing embedded hydrophilic polymers to study the aggregation of the Aβ peptide.

Objectives: The study aimed to investigate and compare clinical features, disease activity, and the overall disease burden among psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients across seven distinct geographic regions in Türkiye.

Patients And Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional study involving 1,134 PsA patients from 25 referral centers across seven regions was conducted. Demographic and clinical characteristics, comorbidities, joint involvement, extra-articular manifestations, and disease activity measures were evaluated across regions.
