Episodic specificity inductions, involving brief training in recollecting episodic details, have been shown to improve subsequent performance on tasks involving remembering the past, imagining the future and problem solving. The current study examined if specificity inductions targeting self-referential past or future episodic thinking would have dissociable effects on generating past and future episodic detail and problem solving. Sixty-three participants were randomised to either a past self-referential or future self-referential episodic induction.

Background: The use of dissimilar materials used as posts, luting agents, and the core often makes the restorative procedure quite complicated, as each material demands its own technical process. Furthermore, it may not necessarily result in better collective physical properties.

Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze the pushout bond strength of a zirconia-based core buildup material in cementing two fiber posts.

Article Synopsis
  • GAL-021 is a new drug that enhances breathing and counters the respiratory depression caused by opioids like morphine, without affecting pain relief in rats.
  • The study involved various methods to evaluate GAL-021's effects on ventilation, opioid analgesia, and blood pressure in both rodents and nonhuman primates.
  • Results showed GAL-021 primarily works through the carotid body by inhibiting specific potassium channels, indicating its potential for treating breathing disorders related to opioid use and conditions like sleep apnea.

Reported herein is the design, synthesis, and pharmacologic characterization of a class of TRPV1 antagonists constructed on a benzo[d]imidazole platform that evolved from a biaryl amide lead. This design composes three sections: a 2-substituted 5-phenyl headgroup attached to the benzo[d]imidazole platform, which is tethered at the two position to a phenyl tail group. Optimization of this design led to the identification of 4 (mavatrep), comprising a trifluoromethyl-phenyl-vinyl tail.
