High sensitivity measurements of localized, long-wavelength ion temperature, and toroidal velocity fluctuations (T(i)/T(i),v(parallel)/v(parallel)) are required to address critical issues pertaining to turbulent transport. This diagnostic design exploits emission from charge exchange recombination between neutral beam atoms and the intrinsic carbon impurity. The n=8-7 transition of C VI at lambda(0)=529.05 nm will be measured. The key difference between this diagnostic design and conventional charge exchange spectrometers is the use of high-efficiency prism-coupled transmission gratings, avalanche photodiode detectors, and high-throughput collection optics. The spectrometer achieves a spectral resolution of 0.25 nm, and observes 528.0-530.0 nm with eight discrete spectral channels, with an entrance throughput of 1.6 mm(2) sr, two orders of magnitude larger than conventional charge exchange system. The diagnostic will achieve a turbulence-relevant time resolution of 1 micros. System modeling demonstrates a sensitivity of T(i)/T(i) < or = 1%.

A Systematic Review of Research on Guided Access Cavity Preparation Endodontic Treatment: Dentin Preservation Perspectives.

Clin Cosmet Investig Dent

January 2025

Faculty of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia.

Purpose: Guided access cavity preparation (GACP) is an endodontic procedure utilizing stents, guide sleeves, or dynamic guides to facilitate the proper formation of access cavities. This paper aims to evaluate the significance of research on guided access cavity preparation in endodontic treatment concerning dentin preservation. In the context of dentin preservation, this paper provides a thorough scoping review of a variety of methodologies for evaluating the accuracy of guided access cavity preparation.

Introduction: Sepsis remains a prevalent critical illness encountered in emergency departments and intensive care units (ICU), with culture-negative sepsis constituting 30-60% of cases. The effect of culture type on treatment and outcomes remains unclear, and conflicting evidence exists regarding disparities between Gram-positive and Gram-negative infections.

Objective: To further describe and compare characteristics and outcomes of culture-positive versus culture-negative sepsis.

Background: Patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) face a highly unfavorable outcome and have a poor response to standard treatments. Immunotherapy, especially therapy based on natural killer (NK) cells, presents a promising avenue for the treatment of PDAC.

Aims: This research endeavor seeks to formulate a predictive tool specifically designed for PDAC based on NK cell-related long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), revealing new molecular subtypes of PDAC to promote personalized and precision treatment.

Background: Subjects with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID), such as rheumatoid arthritis, with tuberculosis infection (TBI), have a high probability of progressing to tuberculosis disease (TB). We aim to characterize the impact of IMID on the immune response to (Mtb) in patients with TBI and TB disease.

Methods: We enrolled TBI and TB patients with and without IMID.

Background/context: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a significant US healthcare burden with millions of lumbar spine procedures annually. Diagnostic tests are essential to guide treatment but provocative discography (PD), the most common diagnostic procedure, is without robust evidence of its value. A non-invasive alternative using Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) offers a potential solution.
