Background: The purpose of this study was to identify the basic physical properties of 3 commonly available tissue-conditioning materials to gain knowledge for their clinical use as impression materials.
Materials & Methods: A total of 60 samples were prepared and each sample was mixed and prepared according to manufacture direction. Finally five specimens of each tissue conditioners were subjected for each of the above test at different time duration.
Results & Conclusion: The study showed that all the materials underwent water loss from the time of mixing to 24 hr & became hard. The plasticity of coecomfort & viscogel decreased from the time of mixing upto 1hr & 2hr respectively & again increased after that till 24 hrs, but the softone showed decreased plasticity after 30 min till 24hrs. Softone & coecomfort at 30 min showed better flow & more plasticity than that of viscogel. The dimensional accuracy of softone & viscogel at 30min is better than that of coecomfort. Thus softone at 30 min after mixing has better Dimensional accuracy, Plasticity and Flow; suitable for making functional impression then that of Coe-comfort and Viscogel.

In 2024, we observe the fortieth anniversary of the publication, where, for the first time, the term of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) was used. Presently, SAD is regarded as a special category of mood disorder. In the American Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-V), the seasonality makes a specifier, "with seasonal pattern", both for recurrent depression or Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), and for Bipolar Disorder (BD).

Unconscious scratching during sleep can exacerbate symptoms, cause sleep disturbances, or reduce quality of life. Therefore, evaluating nocturnal scratching behaviour is important for better patient care.

The outer membrane is the defining structure of Gram-negative bacteria. We previously demonstrated that it is a major load-bearing component of the cell envelope and is therefore critical to the mechanical robustness of the bacterial cell. Here, to determine the key molecules and moieties within the outer membrane that underlie its contribution to cell envelope mechanics, we measured cell-envelope stiffness across several sets of mutants with altered outer-membrane sugar content, protein content, and electric charge.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) progressively leads to loss of limb function due to muscle weakness. The incurable nature of the disease shifts the focus to improving quality of life, including assistive supports to improve arm function. Over time, the passive joint impedance (Jimp) of people with DMD increases.
