This article addresses the key obstacles clinicians face when considering direct composite veneers as a treatment option for the cosmetic correction of anterior teeth. These obstacles include case selection, material selection, the best technique to allow the expeditious placement of the veneers, and, ultimately, final esthetics. The best clinical situations for choosing direct composite veneers are identified, and a new microhybrid composite resin system, Esthet-X, which offers a simplified solution to shade matching and polishing, is introduced. A clinical case demonstrates a simplified technique for the placement of stratified, polychromatic direct veneers, and describes a new polishing system that generates a microfill type of shine with modern microhybrids.

Fungal lipases are the leading industrial biocatalyst due to their broad applications, but high cost limits their commercial usage. The low-cost agri-residues substrates can reduce the cost of lipase production. However, the compatibility of agri-residue with fungal species, recovery process of lipase and stability of the enzyme are crucial steps.

Background: Guideline-recommended strategies to interrupt chronic anticoagulation with warfarin or direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) during the perioperative period of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) surgery differ worldwide. There is uncertainty concerning the benefits and harms of interrupted and uninterrupted anticoagulation in patients undergoing CIED surgery.
Objectives: To assess the benefits and harms of interrupted anticoagulation (IAC) with either warfarin or DOAC in the perioperative period of CIED surgery versus uninterrupted anticoagulation (UAC), with or without heparin bridging, during an equivalent time frame, for CIED surgery.
Surface treatment of ZnO:Sb microwires to improve their persistent photo-conductance response.

Chemical and biological sensors based on ZnO microwires usually rely on the change in the wire conductance with the ambient gas composition. Yet, sensitivity and recovery time of the conductance are important limitations in these applications. We treated ZnO:Sb micro-wires with single droplets of solvents for very short times and found a significant enhancement of the persistent photo-conductance and a reduction of the recovery time of the resistance by more than an order of magnitude when treated with isopropanol droplets.

Fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) possess a remarkable strength-to-weight ratio, making them ideal light-weighing alternative materials of metals used in automotive, aerospace, and outdoor equipment applications, but their recycling is challenging. Chemically recyclable thermoset polymers can enable fiber recovery and reuse; however, challenges remain in the separation and purification of depolymerized small molecules for efficient polymer recycling. To this end, a series of liquid resins for chemically recyclable polymer networks is designed based on phthalic anhydride, a widely produced and inexpensive chemical.

Purpose: The initiation of intracranial aneurysms has long been studied, mainly by the evaluation of the wall shear stress field. However, the debate about the emergence of hemodynamic stimuli still persists. This paper builds on our previous hypothesis that secondary flows play an important role in the formation cascade by examining the relationship between flow physics and vessel geometry.
