Background: Receiving a diagnosis of cancer is a profound and often very stressful experience. Few studies have prospectively recruited patients prior to receiving a new diagnosis of cancer and included spouses or partners.

Objective: The aim of the Couples Cope Study is to understand the impact of undergoing a diagnostic biopsy and receiving a new cancer diagnosis on quality of life (QoL) in both patients and their spouses or partners, as well as on the quality of their relationship.

Aging in women is accompanied by a dramatic change in circulating sex steroid hormones. Specifically, the primary circulating estrogen, 17β-estradiol (E), is nearly undetectable in post-menopausal women. This decline is associated with a variety of cognitive and mood disorders, yet hormone replacement therapy is only effective within a narrow window of time surrounding the menopausal transition.

Article Synopsis
  • Electrons at the borders of localization lead to unique states of matter in strongly correlated electron materials, like heavy electron metals, which showcase interesting magnetic behaviors.
  • These phenomena arise from the interplay between localized and itinerant electrons, giving rise to novel states such as unconventional superconductivity and topological states of matter.
  • The researchers simplified the complex Kondo lattice model for the antiferromagnet CeIn by integrating bandstructure calculations with a multi-orbital model, successfully validating their findings through neutron spectroscopy, thus enhancing our understanding of metallic quantum states.

Purpose: To analyze the in vitro efficacy of a surface conditioning liquid facilitating ceramic repairs of saliva-contaminated metal-ceramic and all-ceramic restorations.

Materials And Methods: Specimens constructed from nonprecious alloy (NPA), precious alloy (PA), lithium-disilicate (LD), zirconia (ZI), veneering ceramics for zirconia (VZI), veneering ceramics for lithium-disilicate (VLD), and veneering ceramics for metal alloys (VM) were manufactured (total: n = 168; each material n = 24). Veneering ceramic cylinders (thickness: 2 mm) were hand-layered on top of the specimens.
