Article Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of light-curing units (LED or halogen) on the marginal adaptation of composite restorations performed with etch-and-rinse and self-etching adhesive. Class V cavities were prepared on bovine teeth with the gingival margin on dentin and the incisal margin on enamel. The cavities were restored with a micro-hybrid resin composite using an etch-and-rinse (Single Bond 2--SB) or a self-etching adhesive (Clearfil SE Bond--CL). The light-activations were performed using halogen lamp (Optilux 501--QTH) or second-generation light-emitting diode (Radii-Cal--LED) (n = 10). After finishing and polishing the restorations, epoxy replicas were prepared. The marginal adaptation was analyzed under scanning electronic microscopy with 500x of magnification. The greatest gap width at each margin was recorded. Data were submitted to Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests (a = 0.05). SB and CL showed similar behavior of enamel margins when the light-activations were performed with QTH. The same was observed for dentin margins with LED. When the LED was used, higher gap measurements at enamel margins were observed with CL, while higher gap values in dentin were observed for SB within QTH. No significant difference between substrates was found when CL was used. However, SB had significantly higher gap measurements in dentin. The light-curing unit seems to affect the marginal adaptation of resin composite restorations. However this effect was dependent on the adhesive and the location of the margin.

Increasing frequencies of heatwaves threaten marine ectotherm species but not all alike. In exposed habitats, some species rely on a higher capacity for passive tolerance at higher temperatures, thereby extending time-dependent survival limits. Here we assess how the involvement of the cardiovascular system in extended tolerance at the margins of the thermal performance curve is dependent on warming rate.

The regulation of oxygen homeostasis is critical in physiology and disease pathogenesis. High Altitude environment or hypoxia (lack of oxygen) can lead to adverse health conditions such as HAPE despite initial adaptive physiological responses. Studying genetic, hematological and biochemical, and the physiological outcomes of hypoxia together could yield a comprehensive understanding and potentially uncover valuable biomarkers for predicting responses.

Background: Whole bladder irradiation is an organ preservation treatment approach for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Conventional planning margins, typically 15-20 mm, increase normal tissue toxicity and limit possible dose escalation.
Purpose: The study aimed to develop a patient-specific adaptive margin recipe for whole bladder irradiation to minimize the planning target volume (PTV) while preserving adequate dose coverage.

Background And Objective: Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) plays a crucial role in breast cancer treatment, with a primary focus on ensuring cancer-free surgical margins, particularly for patients undergoing neoadjuvant treatment. After neoadjuvant treatment, tumor regression can complicate the differentiation between breast cancer and adjacent tissues. Raman spectroscopy, as a rapid and non-invasive optical technique, offers the advantage of providing detailed biochemical information and molecular signatures of internal molecular components in tissue samples.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive malignancy, but there is limited improvement in its treatment. Near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging could potentially address the clinical challenges of PDAC. Indocyanine green (ICG) has been widely used in clinical practice; however, its short half-life and lack of active targeting greatly limit its application in pancreatic surgery.
