Temperature monitoring has immediate relevance to many areas of research, from atmospheric environmental studies to biological sample and food preservation to chemical reactions. Here, we use a triple-barrel electrode to provide temperature readouts in bulk solution and microdroplets, as well as electrochemically monitor freezing events in a microdroplet. Using this method, we are able to identify distinct characteristics of a freezing aqueous droplet (supercooling, ice formation beginning and end, temperature change, and thawing) with greater temporal resolution than a standard thermocouple and without the use of microscopy.

- Mandibular movement is influenced by individual variations in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), necessitating a patient-centered approach in dental treatment that accounts for unique anatomy and condylar function.
- This study introduced an automatic tracking algorithm for monitoring mandibular movement using real-time magnetic resonance imaging (rt-MRI), finding it to be significantly faster and more accurate than traditional manual tracking techniques.
- Results indicated that the new least mean square registration (LMS) method was 76% quicker and had better alignment accuracy, suggesting it could enhance the objective assessment of TMJ function in clinical settings.
Objective: The aim of the present study was to objectively assess the degree of residual facial asymmetry after primary treatment of non-syndromic unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) in children and to correlate it with subjective ratings of facial appearance.
Materials And Methods: Stereophotometry was used to record the faces of 89 children with UCLP for comparison of cleft and non-cleft sides up to 5 years after primary cleft closure. Root mean square values were calculated to measure the difference between the shape of cleft and non-cleft sides of the face and were compared to controls without a cleft lip.
Background: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a rare, serious, and debilitating disease of unknown cause that can be associated with significant health-related quality of life (HRQOL) impairment. Hematological disease is characterized by a nonhealing exposed jawbone in patients with a history of antiresorptive or antiangiogenic agent use without radiation exposure to the head or neck. .
