This study compared the cyclic fatigue resistance, bending resistance and cross-sectional areas of Reciproc Blue (RPC Blue), WaveOne Gold (WOG), and Genius File (GF) NiTi rotary systems. Forty RPC Blue R25 (25/.08), 40 WOG Primary (25/.07) and 40 GF (25/.04) files were used in the present study. Flexibility of the files was determined by 45° bending test. The instruments were also subjected to cyclic fatigue resistance, calculating the number of cycles to fracture (NCF) in an S-shaped artificial stainless steel canal. Also the cross-sectional areas of the files were measured at D5 level. The length of the fractured file tips was measured. The fracture surface of all the fragments was examined with a scanning electron microscope. Data was statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey tests. In both the apical and coronal curvatures, the NCF of the GF was significantly higher than that of the RPC Blue and WOG files. There was no significant difference between the GF, WOG and Reciproc Blue files with respect to the lengths of the fractured file fragments in either the apical or coronal curvature. The bending resistance of the GF was signif-icantly higher than that of the RPC Blue and WOG files. The RPC Blue had the largest cross-sectional area, and the GF had the smallest cross-sectional area. Within the limitations of the present study, the GF NiTi system exhibited the highest cyclic and bending re-sistance among the experimental groups.

Background: Nickel titanium (NiTi) rotary files have drastically altered the treatment protocol in endodontics, allowing for faster and easier preparation and more thorough irrigation of the root canal system. Despite the advantages of the NiTi files, instrument separation still remains a major concern. The aim of this study was to compare the cyclic fatigue resistance of three different single-file NiTi systems after clinical use: WaveOne Gold (WOG, Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland), One Curve (OC, Micro Mega, Besancon, France), and Reciproc Blue (RPC Blue, VDW, Munich, Germany).

Rural primary care (RPC) clinics may face unique barriers to implementing the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM). We used mixed methods to explore RPC staff and practice facilitator (PF) perspectives on CoCM implementation. PFs reported on barriers and facilitators experienced after each monthly meeting with clinics (n = 459 surveys across 23 clinics).

An imidazole possessing sensor (1) has been designed and developed by simple one step reaction and characterization was done by using common spectroscopic methods. The fluorimetric sensing of nerve agent mimic, DCP, was carried out by observing blue shift in spectra accompanied with quenching in semi-aqueous solvent. The sensor was found proficient for the detection of DCP amongst other phosphates with detection limit of 69 nM.

The destruction of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with poor prognosis. Modulation of sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor (S1PR) may improve outcomes from ICH. Ozanimod (RPC-1063) is a newly developed S1PR regulator which can selectively modulate type 1/5 sphingosine receptors.

In this work, we propose micro-prism patterned remote phosphor (RP) films to enhance both luminous efficiency and color uniformity (CU) of remote phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (rpc-LEDs) simultaneously. On the incident surface of the RP film, one micro-prism film is used to extract backward light by double reflection. On the exit surface, the other micro-prism film is adopted to retain blue light inside the RP film, thus enhancing the phosphor excitation.
