Unlabelled: Tooth fragment reattachment is a simple, conservative, fast, and affordable treatment option for fractured teeth when the fragment is available. However, this technique can present some difficulties, among which is the possibility of the fragment being positioned and bonded inadequately. To avoid this situation, it is necessary to establish a reference for the adequate positioning of the fragment using a silicone index.
Clinical Significance: This article presents an alternative approach for better handling of tooth fragments resulting from trauma by using a silicone index as a guide to proper positioning and bonding.

Cognitive resilience (CR) describes the phenomenon of individuals evading cognitive decline despite prominent Alzheimer's disease neuropathology. Operationalization and measurement of this latent construct is non-trivial as it cannot be directly observed. The residual approach has been widely applied to estimate CR, where the degree of resilience is estimated through a linear model's residuals.

The jute hairy caterpillar, Spilosoma obliqua (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) is considered as one of the major threats to jute cultivation. The best eco-friendly methods to combat these jute pests involve administration of nano-biopesticides, as a successful alternative to the toxic chemicals. In this study, a nano-biopesticide formulation containing green synthesized silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) using Ocimum sanctum leaf extract has been proposed.

The Sharp-van der Heijde score (SvH) is crucial for assessing joint damage in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) through radiographic images. However, manual scoring is time-consuming and subject to variability. This study proposes a multistage deep learning model to predict the Overall Sharp Score (OSS) from hand X-ray images.

Common adhesives for nonstructural applications are manufactured using petrochemicals and synthetic solvents. These adhesives are associated with environmental and health concerns because of their release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Biopolymer adhesives are an attractive alternative because of lower VOC emissions, but their strength is often insufficient.

Noninvasive detection of BK virus, for early detection of BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy post-renal transplantation, is currently an active subject of investigation. In this study, we developed and validated a novel risk score diagnostic assay (PymiR Score) based on measurements of three urine miRNAs, including BKV-related miRNA (bkv-miR-B1-5p), polyomavirus-related miRNA (bkv-miR-B1-3p) and renal tubular injury-related miRNA (miR-21-5p), by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The limit of detection of the three miRNAs was 2 × 10 copies/mL, while the intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation were in the ranges of 2.
