Purpose: The objective of this in vitro study was to investigate and compare the precisions of several radiodiagnostic methods used in dentistry for the measurement of peri-implantary sites.
Materials And Methods: Six dental implants were placed in a human cadaver mandible. Periapical radiographs obtained with the parallel as well as the bisecting angle technique, digital and conventional panoramic radiographs were used for implant and peri-implant bone measurements. The measurement results at each implant were statistically analyzed.
Results: The ICC values for the inter-observer reliability were 0.79 for implant diameters and 0.96 for implant lengths. Statistical significance was not detected between the differences of the measurements of the 2 examiners from the original implant dimensions related to anatomic locations. For both of the examiner measurements, significantly less difference from the original implant dimensions was detected in the parallel technique compared to the other techniques (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The present study showed that the most precise peri-implant bone measurements can be obtained from periapical radiographies by using the parallel technique.

Emerging tick-borne orthonairovirus infections pose a growing global concern, with limited understanding of the viral ovarian tumor-like cysteine proteases (vOTUs) encoded by novel orthonairoviruses. These vOTUs, a group of deubiquinylases (DUBs), disrupt the innate immune response. Yezo virus (YEZV), a recently discovered pathogenic orthonairovirus, was first reported in Japan in 2021.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the deadliest solid cancers; thus, identifying more effective therapies is a major unmet need. In this study, we characterized the super enhancer (SE) landscape of human PDAC to identify drivers of the disease that might be targetable. This analysis revealed MICAL2 as a super enhancer-associated gene in human PDAC, which encodes the flavin monooxygenase MICAL2 that induces actin depolymerization and indirectly promotes SRF transcription by modulating the availability of serum response factor coactivators myocardin-related transcription factors (MRTF-A and MRTF-B).
