Published: June 2018

Objective: This study aimed to identify the changes in the time-dependent deformation response of coronal dentin with ageing and its relationship with changes in chemical composition.

Background: The structural behaviour of dentin with ageing is affected by changes in the density and diameter of its dentinal tubules (ie porosity), as well as changes in chemical composition throughout the tooth. However, little is known about the time-dependent deformation behaviour of aged dentin and the importance of its hierarchical structure and variations in chemical composition.

Materials And Methods: The spherical indentation response of aged coronal dentin was analysed in the outer, middle and inner regions, and its time-dependent deformation response was modelled in terms of its microstructure and chemical composition using a model recently proposed for young dentin.

Results: The viscous deformation behaviour of aged dentin followed a power-law response with a decrease in the stress exponent when compared to young dentin. These results can be explained by cross-linking of the collagen present in the tissue.

Conclusion: A decrease in the deformation ability of aged dentin was found. This behaviour could be a result of a dissolution process and reprecipitation of the minerals present in intertubular dentin into the dentinal tubules.

Background: Today, the screening of fetal abnormalities during pregnancy is used as one of the components of the prenatal care worldwide, and many abnormalities are detected by ultrasound during pregnancy. On the other hand, the possibility of an abnormality in the fetus causes worry and anxiety in pregnant women. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the relationship between worry and anxiety with the general health status of pregnant women at risk of diagnosing fetal abnormalities.

The ability to distinguish between individuals is crucial for social species and supports behaviors such as reproduction, hierarchy formation, and cooperation. In rodents, social discrimination relies on memory and the recognition of individual-specific cues, known as "individual signatures". While olfactory signals are central, other sensory cues - such as auditory, visual, and tactile inputs - also play a role.

Pathogenic variants in cause congenital muscular dystrophy through hypoglycosylation of alpha-dystroglycan (OMIM #615350). The established phenotypic spectrum of GMPPB-related disorders includes recurrent rhabdomyolysis, limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, neuromuscular transmission abnormalities, and congenital muscular dystrophy with variable brain and eye anomalies. We report a 9-month-old male infant with congenital muscular dystrophy, infantile spasms, and compound heterozygous pathogenic variants (c.
