Preservation of remaining structures is a primary goal of prosthetic rehabilitation. Continuously applied stresses on the remaining tissues from a large, heavy obturator jeopardize the health of the tissues, compromise the function of the prosthesis, and affect patient comfort. Various techniques have been described for hollowing the bulb of an obturator after processing to reduce its weight; however, access to the inner aspects of the bulb is limited, preventing adequate control of thickness of the walls. This article describes a double-processing technique for an obturator to optimize the weight and thickness of the bulb.

Bi-dimensional principal gene feature selection from big gene expression data.
PLoS One
December 2022
School of Information Technology, Deakin University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Gene expression sample data, which usually contains massive expression profiles of genes, is commonly used for disease related gene analysis. The selection of relevant genes from huge amount of genes is always a fundamental process in applications of gene expression data. As more and more genes have been detected, the size of gene expression data becomes larger and larger; this challenges the computing efficiency for extracting the relevant and important genes from gene expression data.

In this paper, we studied the possibility of increasing the Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) detection accuracy in distributed fibre-optic sensors by the separate and joint use of different algorithms for finding the spectral maximum: Lorentzian curve fitting (LCF, including the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) method), the backward correlation technique (BWC) and a machine learning algorithm, the generalized linear model (GLM). The study was carried out on real spectra subjected to the subsequent addition of extreme digital noise. The precision and accuracy of the LM and BWC methods were studied by varying the signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) and by incorporating the GLM method into the processing steps.

Statement Of Problem: Studies evaluating the dimensional stability of denture bases fabricated by the double processing method are lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the dimensional stability of denture bases fabricated by 3 different techniques: compression molding, injection molding, and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) subtraction milling.
Material And Methods: Forty-five mandibular denture bases were fabricated from a master cast by a standardized process.
Removal of virus from boar semen spiked with porcine circovirus type 2.

National Veterinary Institute, SVA, Uppsala, Sweden.
The virus porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is associated with different disease entities, including reproductive failure. The objective of this study was to investigate the use of a semen processing technique for the elimination of infectious PCV2 in semen. PCV2 was chosen as a model virus because of its small size, high resistance to inactivation and as a known risk factor for boar semen contamination.

Introduction: Adipose tissue is recognized as an important source of postnatal mesenchymal stem cells for generative medicine applications. Moreover, cord blood stem cells have been shown to contain pluripotent stem cells called unrestricted somatic stem cells (USSCs). However, this population is rare and cannot be generated from every cord blood sample.
