Objective: To investigate the intensity changes of different thickness ratios of Empress II glass ceramic and GI- II glass-infiltrated alumina ceramic before and after Hertzian contact cyclic fatigue.
Methods: Disk-shaped specimens of different thickness ratios of Empress II glass ceramic and GI-II glass-infiltrated alumina ceramic were respectively fabricated. Hertzian contact technique was imposed on the specimens. Critical loads of the specimens before and after 10(5) cycles loading were recorded.
Results: The average values of critical loads of all specimens reduced significantly after cycles loading (P < 0.05), and critical loads declined with diminishing thickness of the core ceramic. The critical load of GI-II glass-infiltrated alumina ceramic was significantly higher than Empress II glass ceramic before and after cycle loading(P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Cycle loading can reduce the strengths of the two kinds of dental ceramic, and the latter is better than the former in the resistance to fracture and cyclic fatigue. Critical loads of the two kinds of dental ceramic are mainly influenced by the core ceramic's strength and thickness.

Background: The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic precipitated a rapid shift to virtual care in health care settings, inclusive of mental health care. Understanding clients' perspectives on virtual mental health care quality will be critical to informing future policies and practices.
Objective: This study aimed to outline the process of redesigning and validating the Virtual Client Experience Survey (VCES), which can be used to evaluate client and family experiences of virtual care, specifically virtual mental health and addiction care.

The use of dissolving microneedle arrays (dMNA) for intradermal and transdermal drug delivery has been a growing trend in the field for the past decades. However, a lack of specific regulatory standards still hinders their clinical development and translation to market. It is also well-known that dMNA composition significantly impacts their performance, with each new formulation potentially presenting a challenge for developers, manufacturers and regulatory agencies.

Glioblastoma, with a low survival rate, is an aggressive and difficult-to-treat lethal type of brain cancer. Indomethacin (IND), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, has antitumoral activity in many cancers, including gliomas. However, its poor aqueous solubility is a critical issue.

Lattice volume changes in Li-ion batteries active materials are unavoidable during electrochemical cycling, posing significant engineering challenges from the particle to the electrode level. In this study, we present an elastic framework coating designed to absorb and reversibly release strain energy associated with particle volume changes, thereby enhancing mechanical resilience at both the particle and electrode levels. This framework, composed of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), is applied to nickel-rich LiNiCoMnO (NCM9055) cathodes at a low loading of 0.

Sotalol, a class III antiarrhythmic agent, is used to maintain sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter (AFIB/AFL). Despite its efficacy, sotalol's use is limited by its potential to cause life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias due to QT interval prolongation. Traditionally, sotalol administration required hospitalization to monitor these risks.
