Introduction: Postoperative sensitivity in restorative dentistry can be related to preparation trauma, dentin adhesives' ability to seal open dentinal tubules, deformation of restorations under occlusal stresses and microleakage.
Objective: The study assessed possible reduction in postoperative sensitivity with low shrinkage compared to conventional composites using different bonding agents and the influence of the operator skill on the incidence of postoperative sensitivity.
Methods: Nine hundred and sixty permanent premolars and molars with primary carious lesions from patients 21 to 40 years old were used. Cavities 2 to 3 mm deep and with margins in enamel were prepared by four operators. Two operators had five years (A and B) and two had over 20 years (C and D) of clinical experience. Teeth were divided into eight groups each contained 120 restorations: (1) Els+James-2 (original formula), (2) Els+James-2 (new formula), (3) Els+Excite, (4) InTenSe+James-2 (original formula), (5) InTenSe+James-2 (new formula), (6) InTenSe+Excite, (7) Tetric Ceram+Excite, and (8) Point 4+OptiBond Solo Plus. At 14 days postoperatively, two independent operators, who did not take part in the clinical procedure, assessed postoperative teeth sensitivity using special questionnaires. Data were analyzed using non-parametric chi-square, Mann-Whitney and ANOVA tests.
Results: Group 8 showed significantly higher score than the other groups. Less postoperative sensitivity was reported with two low-shrinkage composites (groups 2, 3, and 5) but with no significant difference. There was no statistical difference between groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Operator A had the highest postoperative sensitivity score compared to the other three.
Conclusion: Conventional composite material Point 4 with its bonding agent caused significantly more postoperative sensitivity than low shrinkage composites combined with different adhesives. Operator skill influenced the incidence of postoperative sensitivity.

This study analyzes the prognostic factors of thrombosis in patients with hematological diseases after peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) surgery. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 223 patients with hematological diseases who underwent PICC catheterization between January 2017 and June 2021. These patients were categorized into the thrombotic group and non-thrombotic group based on the occurrence of thrombosis following PICC catheterization.

Background: Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) develops within 72 h after lung transplantation (Lung Tx) and greatly influences patients' prognosis. This study aimed to establish an accurate machine learning (ML) model for predicting grade 3 PGD (PGD3) after Lung Tx.
Methods: This retrospective study incorporated 802 patients receiving Lung Tx between July 2018 and October 2023 (640 in the derivation cohort and 162 in the external validation cohort), and 640 patients were randomly assigned to training and internal validation cohorts in a 7:3 ratio.
Quantifying intratumoral heterogeneity within sub-regions to predict high-grade patterns in clinical stage I solid lung adenocarcinoma.

Background: This study aims to quantify intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) using preoperative CT image and evaluate its ability to predict pathological high-grade patterns, specifically micropapillary and/or solid components (MP/S), in patients diagnosed with clinical stage I solid lung adenocarcinoma (LADC).
Methods: In this retrospective study, we enrolled 457 patients who were postoperatively diagnosed with clinical stage I solid LADC from two medical centers, assigning them to either a training set (n = 304) or a test set (n = 153). Sub-regions within the tumor were identified using the K-means method.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide supplementation fails to enhance anesthetic recovery in rodents.

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) is implicated in bioenergetics, DNA repair, and senescence. Depletion of NAD is associated with aging and neurodegenerative disease, prompting a growing interest in NAD supplementation. With rising over-the-counter use of NAD, understanding their impact on anesthetic recovery becomes essential.
