Objectives: To evaluate marginal integrity of IPS Empress inlays luted with different adhesives and cements before and after thermo-mechanical loading (TML).
Methods: MOD cavities with one proximal box beneath the cementoenamel junction were prepared in 72 extracted human third molars. IPS Empress inlays were luted with nine combinations of adhesive and luting composite or self-etch cement alone (n=8): Prime&Bond NT Dual-Cure+Calibra (PC), XP BOND/SCA+Calibra (XC), XP BOND/SCA light-cured+Calibra (XL), Syntac+Variolink II (SV), Multilink Primer+Multilink (ML), AdhesSE DC+Variolink II (AV), ED Primer+Panavia F 2.0 (EP), RelyX Unicem (RU), and Maxcem (MC). Marginal quality was analyzed under an SEM using epoxy resin replicas before and after thermo-mechanical loading (100,000x50N and 2500 thermocylces between +5 and +55 degrees C).
Results: All systems involving the etch-and-rinse approach resulted in significantly higher percentages of gap-free margins in enamel than all other luting systems (p<0.05). ML and AV achieved higher percentages of gap-free margins in enamel than EP and RU (p<0.05), with EP and RU being significantly above MC (p<0.05). For dentine margins, XP Bond resulted in significantly higher percentages of gap-free margins than Prime&Bond NT, independent of a separate light-curing step (p<0.05). Between the luting systems XC, XL, SV, ML, AV, ED, EP, and RU, no significant differences were computed (p>0.05). MC ranged at the end of the statistical subsets with 62% gap-free margins (p<0.05; Mann-Whitney U-test).
Significances: Etch-and-rinse adhesives combined with conventional luting resin composites reveal still the best prognosis for adhesive luting of glass ceramic inlays.

Spatial accuracy of dose delivery significantly impacts the planning target volume margin in linear accelerator-based intracranial stereotactic radiosurgery.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Radiation Safety and Quality Assurance division, National Cancer Center Hospital East, Chiba, 277-8577, Japan.
The impact of three-dimensional (3D) dose delivery accuracy of C-arm linacs on the planning target volume (PTV) margin was evaluated for non-coplanar intracranial stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). A multi-institutional 3D starshot test using beams from seven directions was conducted at 22 clinics using Varian and Elekta linacs with X-ray CT-based polymer gel dosimeters. Variability in dose delivery accuracy was observed, with the distance between the imaging isocenter and each beam exceeding 1 mm at one institution for Varian and nine institutions for Elekta.

Objective: The aim of this study was to intraindividually compare the conspicuity of focal liver lesions (FLLs) between low- and ultra-low-dose computed tomography (CT) with deep learning reconstruction (DLR) and standard-dose CT with model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) from a single CT using dual-split scan in patients with suspected liver metastasis via a noninferiority design.
Materials And Methods: This prospective study enrolled participants who met the eligibility criteria at 2 tertiary hospitals in South Korea from June 2022 to January 2023. The criteria included (a) being aged between 20 and 85 years and (b) having suspected or known liver metastases.
Infants' Exposure to Toxic Trace Elements in Teethers.

Infants are particularly vulnerable to exposure to toxic trace elements due to their developmental stage and behaviors such as mouthing and chewing on toys. Chemical exposure to heavy metals in infants' toys is a significant concern as it poses a threat to their health and well-being. Therefore, quality control measures are essential to prevent infants' exposure to potentially harmful metals.

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a complex psychiatric condition marked by significant mood fluctuations that deeply affect quality of life. Understanding the neural mechanisms underlying BD is critical for improving diagnostic accuracy and developing more effective treatments. This study utilized resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) to investigate functional connectivity within the ventral and dorsal attention networks in 52 patients with BD and 51 healthy controls.

Background: With the continuous development of laparoscopic techniques in recent years, laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (LapTME) and laparoscopic-assisted transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) have gradually become important surgical techniques for treating low-lying rectal cancer (LRC). However, there is still controversy over the efficacy and safety of these two surgical modalities in LRC treatment.
Aim: To compare the efficacy of LapTME TaTME in patients with LRC.
