Objective: Dental professionals are highly vulnerable to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD). As females, who are more prone to WMSD, represent a growing proportion of the dental workforce, this study explored sex differences in WMSD-pain prevalence among dental students, and differentiated it between preclinical and clinical students.
Methods: A multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted among dental students at three U.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the color stability of bulk-fill flowable resin composites with 2 difference shades at baseline and after artificial aging.
Methods: Disk-shaped specimens (Ø10 × 4 mm) were fabricated from three bulk-fill flowable resin resin composites (Filtek Bulk-Fill Flow, Venus Bulk-Fill Flow, and Estelite Bulk-Fill Flow). The specimens in each bulk-fill resin composite group were divided into two subgroups (n = 10 per subgroup) with two different shades, A1 (N = 30) and A3 (N = 30), and were polymerized with light curing (800 mW/cm/Valo LED Unit, Ultradent) and polished.
The GdAl(BO):xPr (0 ≤ x ≤ 5.0 mol%) phosphors were prepared through solid state reaction route and characterized for various lighting applications. Powder X-ray diffraction investigations revel rhombohedral structure matched to JCPDS card no.

Article Synopsis
- * These compounds are produced through specific branches of the phenylpropanoid biosynthetic pathway, particularly in response to environmental stressors like high salinity, which affects species like mangroves known for their adaptability to extreme conditions.
- * Recent research identified a core bibenzyl scaffold in 28 mangrove and related species from the Indian Sundarbans, suggesting a potential role in detoxifying reactive oxygen species and aiding in the plants’ metabolic processes under salinity stress.
Enhancing Multichannel Laser-Doppler Vibrometry Signals with Application to (Carotid-Femoral) Pulse Transit Time Estimation.
Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc
July 2023
Article Synopsis
- Pulse-wave velocity (PWV) is a key measure for diagnosing arterial stiffness, and a new device using multi-beam laser-doppler vibrometry offers an affordable and non-invasive way to measure it.
- The CARDIS prototype device tracks skin displacement over major arteries at two sites to calculate pulse-transit time (PTT) and estimate PWV, benefiting from multiple beam channels to improve signal quality.
- Two processing methods, beamforming and beamforming-driven independent component analysis (ICA), enhance the signal by reducing noise, resulting in more accurate PTT estimates and potential applications in other biomedical fields.
