Exploring the Anti-Adherence Potential of Skt35 to Combat Catheter-Associated Staphylococcus aureus Infections: Efficacy, Toxicity and Mechanism of Action.

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), often caused by biofilm-forming Staphylococcus aureus, present significant clinical challenges. Skt35, a dioxopiperidinamide derivative of cinnamic acid, was investigated for its potential antibacterial and antibiofilm activities against S. aureus biofilms.

Volumetric Comparison of the Temporomandibular Joint Space in Skeletal Class I and II Patients Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction: The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the most intricate anatomical entities within the human body and is clinically relevant in the field of dentistry. Therefore, the present study aimed to conduct a three-dimensional (3D) volumetric comparison of the TMJ space in skeletal Class I and II patients using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional, retrospective study was conducted on 40 CBCT records divided into skeletal Class I and skeletal Class II patients.

Thermoelectric Energy Harvesting for Exhaust Waste Heat Recovery: A System Design.

Thermal energy harvesting for high-speed moving objects is particularly promising in providing an efficient and sustainable energy source to enhance operational capabilities and endurance. Thermoelectric (TE) technology, by exploiting temperature gradients between a heat source and ambient temperature, can provide a continuous power supply to such systems, reducing the reliance on conventional batteries and extending operation times. However, the integrated thermoelectric generator (TEG) system design research is far behind materials development.
