A comparative finite element analysis of titanium, poly-ether-etherketone, and zirconia abutment on stress distribution around maxillary anterior implants.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of abutment material, alveolar bone density, and occlusal forces on stress distribution around maxillary anterior implants.

Materials And Methods: An study was conducted. The maxillary anterior implant was modeled using a three-dimensional finite element model in D2 and D3 bones with three different abutment materials: titanium, zirconia, and poly-ether-ether ketone (PEEK).

Performance optimization of interleaved boost converter with ANN supported adaptable stepped-scaled P&O based MPPT for solar powered applications.

Solar energy is the most promising among many renewable energy sources to meet the increasing demand. Photovoltaic (PV) based power generating solutions are expected to gain popularity as a power source for different applications, including independent and grid connected loads, due to their cleanliness, high performance, and high dependability. The efficacy of photovoltaic systems is impacted by several elements, including geographical location, positioning, shadowing effects, and local climate conditions.

Stellate ganglion ablation by conventional radiofrequency in patients with electrical storm.

Aims: We report a series of patients with Electrical Storm (ES) who underwent bilateral stellate ganglion ablation by using conventional radio frequency (RFA).

Methods And Results: The procedure was done with fluoroscopic guidance using the COSMAN™ 1A RF Generator and a 22G RF needle (5 cm length and 5 mm active tip). Six patients, four male and two female (mean age 55 ± 7 years and mean LVEF-42 ± 21%) with ES underwent the procedure under fluoroscopic guidance.

History Cancer Care in Kerala.

The history of cancer care of Kerala spread back to colonial era, where the first hospitals with cancer care facilities were started and run by the London Missionary Society. Later, many government hospitals started cancer care and establishment of the Regional Cancer Centre in 1981 elevated the status of Kerala in the cancer care map of India. The history of modern cancer care in Kerala dates back to the nineteenth century.

Isolation and characterization of water-deficit stress-responsive α-expansin 1 () gene from complex.

In this study, full-length (1282-1330 bp) α-expansin 1 () gene from three different accessions belonging to complex (-, - and spp. hybrid-) was isolated using RAGE technique and characterized. The intronic and coding regions of isolated expansin genes ranged between 526-568 and 756-762 bp, respectively.
