Machine learning-assisted implantable plant electrophysiology microneedle sensor for plant stress monitoring.

Plant electrical signals serve as a medium for long-distance signal transmission and are intricately linked to plant stress responses. High-fidelity acquisition and analysis of plant electrophysiological signals contribute to early stress identification, thereby enhancing agricultural production efficiency. While traditional plant electrophysiology monitoring methods like gel electrodes can capture electrical signals on plant surfaces, which face limitations due to the plant cuticle barrier, impacting signal accuracy.

Pain, Function and Quality of Life in Temporomandibular Disorder Patients With Different Disc Positions.

Background: Whether pain, jaw function and quality of life are correlated with disc positions is controversial, and similar studies evaluating disc positions by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are very limited.

Objective: This study evaluated the pain, mandibular function and quality of life of the temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) patients with different disc positions according to MRI, and the relationship among them.

Methods: Three hundred and thirty-five participants were included.

A laser-Engraved Wearable Electrochemical Sensing Patch for Heat Stress Precise Individual Management of Horse.

In point-of-care diagnostics, the continuous monitoring of sweat constituents provides a window into individual's physiological state. For species like horses, with abundant sweat glands, sweat composition can serve as an early health indicator. Considering the salience of such metrics in the domain of high-value animal breeding, a sophisticated wearable sensor patch tailored is introduced for the dynamic assessment of equine sweat, offering insights into pH, potassium ion (K), and temperature profiles during episodes of heat stress and under normal physiological conditions.

The association between chronotype profile and temporomandibular disorders among college students.

Background: Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) are common in young adults, and the link between chronotype profile and TMDs is unclear.

Objective: This study examined TMD prevalence and chronotype distribution and explored the relationship between chronotype and TMDs in young adults.

Materials And Methods: A total of 663 students from Sichuan University completed questionnaires.

Implantable Electrochemical Microsensors for In Vivo Monitoring of Animal Physiological Information.

In vivo monitoring of animal physiological information plays a crucial role in promptly alerting humans to potential diseases in animals and aiding in the exploration of mechanisms underlying human diseases. Currently, implantable electrochemical microsensors have emerged as a prominent area of research. These microsensors not only fulfill the technical requirements for monitoring animal physiological information but also offer an ideal platform for integration.

Low income is associated with impaired jaw function via anxiety and depression in patients with temporomandibular disorders.

Objective: The association between jaw function and income in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) remain unclear. The aim of this study was to explore this association and its relationship with anxiety and depression.

Subjects And Methods: A total of 451 TMD patients, including 361 males and 90 females, participated in this study.

Enlarged occipital spur and craniofacial morphology: a cephalometric analysis.

Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between the occipital spur length and craniofacial morphology in individuals with occipital spur (OS).

Methods: The study included cephalometric images from 451 individuals (196 females, 255 males, age range was 9-84 years). The spur length and craniofacial characteristics were evaluated using cephalograms.

Imaging study on the relationship between anterior and posterior occlusal planes and temporomandibular osteoarthrosis.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the anterior and posterior occlusal plane characteristics of patients with different temporomandibular joint osseous statuses.

Methods: A total of 306 patients with initial cone beam CT (CBCT) and cephalograms were included. They were divided into three groups on the basis of their temporomandibular joint osseous status: bilateral normal (BN) group, indeterminate for osteoarthrosis (I) group, and osteoarthrosis (OA) group.

Do Temporomandibular Disorder Patients with Joint Pain Exhibit Forward Head Posture? A Cephalometric Study.

Purpose: To evaluate head and cervical posture in individuals with or without temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and to assess the correlations between pain, severity of symptoms, and posture.

Methods: A total of 384 patients (129 males and 255 females) was included. The Fonseca Anamnestic Index (FAI) was used to assess the severity and prevalence of TMD and the presence of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain.

Craniofacial Morphology of Temporomandibular Disorder Patients with Different Disc Positions: Stratifying Features Based on Sex and Sagittal Skeletal Pattern.

Disc displacement (DD) appears in the majority of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) patients. The correlation between craniofacial morphology and different disc positions has been underlined, while the craniofacial morphological differences based on sex and sagittal skeletal pattern stratification have been insufficiently studied. In this study, 304 patients with TMD complaints were included and classified into normal position, disc displacement with reduction (DDwR) and disc displacement without reduction (DDwoR) groups according to magnetic resonance imaging.

Development of a new category system for the profile morphology of temporomandibular disorders patients based on cephalograms using cluster analysis.

Objective: This study aims to develop a new category scheme for the profile morphology of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) based on lateral cephalometric morphology.

Methods: Five hundred and one adult patients (91 males and 410 females) with TMD were enrolled in this study. Cluster tendency analysis, principal component analysis and cluster analysis were performed using 36 lateral cephalometric measurements.

Risk estimation of degenerative joint disease in temporomandibular disorder patients with different types of sagittal and coronal disc displacements: MRI and CBCT analysis.

Background: Degenerative joint disease (DJD) can be associated with disc displacement (DD) in temporomandibular disorder (TMD) patients. However, the relationship between different types of DDs and DJD remains unclear.

Objectives: To investigate the odds ratios of different types of sagittal and coronal DDs confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and DJD confirmed by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in TMD patients.

Using Ca-doped carbon dots as catalyst to amplify signal to determine ultratrace thrombin by free-label aptamer-SERS method.

The highly catalytic Ca-doped carbon dots (CD) were prepared by microwave procedure, that exhibit strong catalytic effect on HAuCl-glucose (GLC) reaction to form gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with high SERS activity, using Victoria blue B (VBB) as a molecular probe. The SERS intensity at 1615 cm increased linearly with CD increasing, due to formation of more AuNPs nanosol substrate as indicator. When thrombin aptamer (Apt) was added in this system, Apt adsorbed on the CD surface to inhibit theirs catalytic activity, and the SERS intensity decreased.
