Efficiency of dry versus wet Er,Cr:YSGG laser debonding of lithium disilicate veneers using different power outputs.

Statement Of Problem: Since water is the chromophore for the erbium, chromium-yttrium scandium gallium garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser, the laser energy reaching the restoration decreases as part of it is absorbed by water. Theoretically, reducing the water or implementing dry debonding could reduce the energy consumed by water, increasing laser efficiency. Studies on whether it is suitable for removing veneers without using coolant are lacking.

Nicotinamide riboside: A promising therapy for MI-induced acute kidney injury by upregulating nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase-mediated NAD levels.

Background: Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) type 1 is characterized by the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) following acute cardiac illness and notably acute myocardial infarction (MI). AKI is considered an independent risk factor increasing mortality rate substantially. Nicotinamide dinucleotide (NAD) is an important coenzyme in energy metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation and in its oxidized form, a substrate for multiple NAD -dependent enzymes such as Sirtuins and poly-ADP ribose polymerases.

Dual Time-Dependent Effects of Interleukin-33 Administration on the Kidney Postmyocardial Infarction.

Kidney damage is a serious prevalent complication that occurs after a myocardial infarction (MI) and is associated with worse outcomes. Interleukin-33 (IL-33), a member of the IL-1 superfamily, functions as an alarmin that is released upon necrosis or tissue damage to alert immune cells expressing the ST2L receptor. IL-33 is increased in kidney disease, and recent studies have shown that the IL-33/ST2 axis is instrumental in both disease progression and repair.

Association between Toll-like receptor 2 rs4696483 and rs1898830 polymorphisms and the risk of triple-negative breast cancer.

Purpose: Breast cancer (BC) is heterogeneous in clinical manifestation, of which the triple-negative (TNBC) subtype is the most aggressive. This study examines the associations between Toll-Like Receptor (TLR)-2 polymorphisms and the susceptibility to BC and TNBC.

Methods: Genotyping of TLR-2 rs1898830 and rs4696483 polymorphisms was done by real-time PCR in 488 women with BC (130 TNBC, 358 non-TNBC) and 476 cancer-free control women.

Association of IL-1β gene polymorphisms rs1143627, rs1799916, and rs16944 with altered risk of triple-negative breast cancer.

Purpose: Breast cancer (BC) is the most recognized malignancy in females globally and is heterogeneous in its clinical manifestation, among which the triple-negative (TNBC) subtype is the most aggressive. This study examines the associations between IL-1β polymorphisms and BC and TNBC susceptibility.

Methods: Genotyping ofIL-1βrs1143627, rs1799916, and rs16944 polymorphisms was done in 488 women with BC (130 TNBC, 358 non-TNBC) and 476 cancer-free control women using real-time PCR genotyping.
