Endodontic access preparation leads to a significant reduction in crown retention. This study sought to determine whether this retention can be regained after access. Eighteen extracted human maxillary incisors had PFM crowns fabricated. Crowns were cemented, retention measured, recemented, access preparations cut, and retention once again measured. Then, crowns were recemented and accesses restored with dental amalgam and new retention measured. This format allowed each crown to be used as a control of itself. For crowns cemented with zinc phosphate cement and restored with amalgam, a 126% increase over original retention was measured. For crowns cemented with polycarboxylate cement and restored with amalgam, a 237% increase over original retention was measured. For crowns cemented with polycarboxylate cement and restored with amalgam, a 237% increase over original retention was measured. These results suggest that recementing crowns secondary to endodontic access and restoring the access with amalgam regains and even surpasses the original retention.

Background: Cognitive training (CT) has been one of the important non-pharmaceutical interventions that could delay cognitive decline. Currently, no definite CT methods are available. Furthermore, little attention has been paid to the effect of CT on mood and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL).

Microplastics, particles between 0.001 and 5 mm in diameter, are ubiquitous in the environment and their consumption by aquatic organisms is known to lead to a variety of adverse effects. However, studies on the effects of microplastics on prey fish have not shown consistent trends, with results varying across species and plastic type used.

Introduction: Peripheral intravenous cannulation (PIVC) is a common and complex procedure with low first-attempt success rates, causing patient suffering and increased healthcare costs. Quiet Eye (QE) training, a gaze-focused approach, has shown promise in improving procedural PIVC skills. We will examine the effectiveness of traditional technical training (TT) and QE training (QET) on student nurse PIVC performance.

Micelles, liposomes, and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) are promising drug delivery vehicles; however, poor aqueous stability requires post-processing drying methods for maintaining long-term stability. The objective of this study was to compare the potential of lipid-based micelles, liposomes, and SLNs for producing stable re-dispersible spray-dried powders with trehalose or a combination of trehalose and L-leucine. This study provides novel insights into the implementation of spray drying as a technique to enhance long-term stability for these lipid-based nanocarriers.

Acute liver injury (ALI) is a prevalent and potentially lethal condition globally, where pharmacotherapy plays a vital role. However, challenges such as rapid drug excretion and insufficient concentration at hepatic lesions often impede the treatment's effectiveness. We successfully prepared glycyrrhizinate monoammonium cysteine (GMC)-loaded lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) using high-pressure homogenization.
