Taxonomy of high pressure vibration spectra of zincblende semiconductor alloys based on the percolation model.

Due to their simple structure (two bond species randomly arranged on a cubic lattice), the zincblende ABC semiconductor alloys (zb-SCA) set a benchmark to explore how physical properties are impacted by disorder. A longstanding controversy was whether the lattice dynamics (phonons), governed by the bond force constant, i.e.

Sex-dependent gastrointestinal colonization resistance to MRSA is microbiota and Th17 dependent.

Gastrointestinal (GI) colonization by methicillin-resistant (MRSA) is associated with a high risk of transmission and invasive disease in vulnerable populations. The immune and microbial factors that permit GI colonization remain unknown. Male sex is correlated with enhanced nasal carriage, skin and soft tissue infections, and bacterial sepsis.

Comparative efficacy of In-office and walking bleach techniques in whitening of non-vital teeth.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of two non vital whitening techniques, In-office and Walking Bleach, using 35% hydrogen peroxide. The primary research question was to determine which technique achieves greater tooth color improvement.

Materials And Methods: Fifty non-vital anterior teeth with discoloration were randomly assigned to either the In-office (n = 25) or Walking Bleach (n = 25) groups.

Interleukin 10 drives Staphylococcus aureus imprinting and vaccine failure in murine models via antibody glycosylation.

Despite many attempts, there is currently no approved vaccine to prevent Staphylococcus aureus infections. Preclinical vaccination models have failed to predict vaccine efficacy in humans as S. aureus exposure in humans imprints an immune response that is lacking in naive animals.

Resting ECG findings in male Brazilian soccer players of different ethnicities: Results from the B-Pro Foot ECG study.

Objectives: To compare the prevalence of training-related ECG findings in white, mixed-race, and black male Brazilian soccer players.

Design: Multicenter observational study.

Methods: This study involved athletes aged 15 to 35 years from 82 professional clubs across Brazil's five regions.
