Objective: The aim was to compare intrapulp temperature (IPT) changes when flat-fissure diamond burs and pear-shaped tungsten carbide burs were used to cut tooth structure, amalgam, and composite resin with and without water coolant.
Methods: Thermocouples were inserted into the pulp chamber of extracted intact mandibular molars. The thermocouples were connected to an electronic thermometer that detects temperature every second to an accuracy of 0.
Background: Cinematic-virtual reality (cine-VR) has demonstrated improvements in cultural self-efficacy, diabetes attitudes, and empathy among healthcare providers, but its impact on health professional students is unknown. The purpose of the single-arm pre-post study was to examine the feasibility of this cine-VR diabetes training program as well as to assess changes in cultural self-efficacy, diabetes attitudes, and empathy among health professional students.
Method: Participants viewed 12 cine-VR 12 simulations about a 72-year-old patient with type 2 diabetes.
Article Synopsis
- * The study focused on the high-resolution structures of seven IVA hemagglutinin (HA) proteins, crucial for the virus's ability to infect host cells, and highlighted conserved receptor binding sites that help the virus evade antibody detection.
- * The findings revealed that changes in HA proteins can affect antibody binding, providing valuable insights for the development of future anti-influenza vaccines.
Structure of the Reston ebolavirus VP30 C-terminal domain.
Acta Crystallogr F Struct Biol Commun
April 2014
The ebolaviruses can cause severe hemorrhagic fever. Essential to the ebolavirus life cycle is the protein VP30, which serves as a transcriptional cofactor. Here, the crystal structure of the C-terminal, NP-binding domain of VP30 from Reston ebolavirus is presented.
