Aims And Objectives: The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of border molding on the retention of the maxillary denture base.
Materials And Methods: Two special trays, one with full extensions to the periphery and one 2 mm short from the borders were made on the cast obtained from the preliminary impression. Border molding was done on the tray which was short from borders. On both trays, the final impression was made with zinc oxide eugenol impression paste. Heat cure denture bases were fabricated on the prepared casts and retention was measured using specially designed instrument.
Observations And Results: Mean force with border molding (2765.0 g) was larger than mean force without border molding (1805.0 g) at P < 0.01 level. In terms of percentage, too, the mean improvement (59.4%) in force of dislodgement was statistically highly significant (i.e. P < 0.01).
Clinical Significance: The results of the present study suggest that the dentures made with border molding will provide better retentive force than the dentures made without border molding.

Background: Fungal DNA is rarely reported in metagenomic studies of ancient samples. Although fungi are essential for their interactions with all kingdoms of life, limited information is available about ancient fungi. Here, we explore the possibility of the presence of ancient fungal species in the gut of Ötzi, the Iceman, a naturally mummified human found in the Tyrolean Alps (border between Italy and Austria).

Highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) is an important fruit crop for pick-your-own agritourism farms in the Midwest. Declining or diseased plants are a major concern for pick-your-own farms, as consumers prioritize healthy plants and organic practices (Norby and Retallick 2012). In August 2023, leaf spot and dieback symptoms were observed sporadically on the current year's growth throughout an organic berry agritourism farm in Eastern Iowa.

A man in his thirties patient visited his previous physician with the chief complaint of a pigmented macule on the sole of his left foot that had steadily grown over the past two years. A dermoscopic examination of the lesion showed a parallel ridge pattern (PRP); therefore, acral-lentiginous melanoma (ALM) was suspected, and the patient was referred to our hospital for a more detailed examination. On closer inspection, PRP had a well-defined and irregular border with no variation in color, which is atypical for ALM which is characterized by asymmetrical structure and variation in colors.

Article Synopsis
- Ecthyma gangrenosum (EG) is primarily a skin infection often seen in immunocompromised individuals, but it can also be caused by other bacteria or fungi in both immunocompromised and non-immunocompromised people.
- A case study of a 75-year-old woman revealed severe respiratory distress due to influenza A H1N1, which later led to the development of EG with ulcerated skin lesions as complications.
- The case highlights that EG can arise from various pathogens, emphasizing the need to consider fungal infections in such clinical scenarios.
