Purpose: Acrylic resin complete dentures exhibit dimensional changes mainly because of processing shrinkage and expansion because of water uptake. The aim of this 5-year clinical study was to determine the dimensional changes occurring during construction and in service in maxillary complete dentures made of two types of acrylic resin.
Materials And Methods: Complete dentures were constructed for 17 edentulous patients. Nine patients received dentures made of conventional heat-cured acrylic resin, and eight patients received dentures made of rapid heat-cured acrylic resin. Measurements were taken across three reference points (second molars bilaterally and central incisors) on six occasions: at the flasking stage, at the denture insertion appointment, and after 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 5 years of use. The data obtained were analyzed using one-factor repeated-measures ANOVA, one-way ANOVA, and Duncan's multiple comparisons test.
Results: The two types of dentures showed the same pattern of dimensional changes. A shrinkage of up to 0.27% was estimated at the insertion stage. During the first 3 months of use, a decrease of the initial dimensional change was observed. After a 3-month period, a gradual compensation for the initial shrinkage started to take place. At the end of the study period (5 years), an expansion of up to 0.35% was measured.
Conclusion: Maxillary complete dentures made of either conventional or rapid heat-cured acrylic resin exhibited dimensional changes that were considered clinically acceptable.

Objectives: To compare the maternal hemodynamic profile at 12 + 0 to 15 + 6 weeks' gestation in women who subsequently developed pre-eclampsia (PE) and those who did not, and to assess the screening performance of maternal hemodynamic parameters for PE in combination with the Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) triple test, including maternal factors (MF), mean arterial pressure (MAP), uterine artery pulsatility index and placental growth factor.
Methods: This was a prospective case-control study involving Chinese women with a singleton pregnancy who underwent preterm PE screening at 11 + 0 to 13 + 6 weeks' gestation using the FMF triple test, between February 2020 and February 2023. Women identified as being at high risk (≥ 1:100) for preterm PE by the FMF triple test were matched 1:1 with women identified as low risk (< 1:100) for maternal age ± 3 years, maternal weight ± 5 kg and date of screening ± 14 days.

To compare 1D (linear) tumor volume calculations and classification systems with 3D-segmented volumetric analysis (SVA), focusing specifically on their effectiveness in the evaluation and management of NF2-associated vestibular schwannomas (VS). VS were clinically followed every 6 months with cranial, thin-sliced (< 3 mm) MRI. We retrospectively reviewed and used T1-weighted post-contrast enhanced (gadolinium) images for both SVA and linear measurements.

Spaceflight has several detrimental effects on human and rodent health. For example, liver dysfunction is a common phenotype observed in space-flown rodents, and this dysfunction is partially reflected in transcriptomic changes. Studies linking transcriptomics with liver dysfunction rely on tools which exploit correlation, but these tools make no attempt to disambiguate true correlations from spurious ones.
