Article Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different ambient temperatures on cyclic fatigue (CF) life of two NiTi rotary systems and correlate the results with martensitic transformation temperatures.
Materials And Methods: Heat-treated NiTi Vortex Blue (VB) and EdgeSequel Sapphire (SP) instruments (tip sizes no. 20, 25, 30, 35, 40) were tested for CF resistance at room and body temperature (n = 20 each group) in a simulated canal (angle of curvature 60°; radius 3 mm; center from instrument tip 4.5 mm) with a motor controlled by an electric circuit. Mean half-life, beta and eta Weibull parameters were determined and compared. Two further instruments of each brand were subjected to differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
Results: Temperature had an effect on fatigue behavior: all instruments lasted significantly longer at room than at body temperature. All VB significantly outlasted those of SP at body temperature; while smaller diameters of VB (size no. 20) were also significantly more resistant than SP when tested at room temperature; SP with larger diameters (sizes no. 30, no. 35, and no. 40) lasted significantly longer than VB did.
Conclusions: Immersion in water at body temperature was associated with a marked decrease in the fatigue life of all rotary instruments tested. VB instruments were significantly more CF resistant at body temperature and showed the highest predictability in terms of fracture resistance.
Clinical Relevance: Rotary instruments manufactured with different post-machining heat treatment responded differently to changed ambient temperatures. DSC assessment of martensitic conversion temperatures helps to predict the behavior of nickel titanium rotaries in different environments.

Intraoperative vascular anastomosis occlusion due to cold agglutinin disease during brain surgery: a case report.
JA Clin Rep
January 2025
Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Gifu University Hospital, 1-1 Yanagido, Gifu, 501-1194, Japan.
Background: Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is an autoimmune hemolytic anemia that induces blood coagulation and hemolysis upon exposure to cold temperatures. Strict temperature control is essential to mitigate these effects, especially during surgical procedures where hypothermia is possible.
Case Presentation: A 57-year-old male, 165 cm and 72 kg, diagnosed with CAD, underwent cerebral vascular anastomosis.
Awareness of Contraindications Among Cancer Patients in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Cancer Control
January 2025
Department of Pharmacy Practice, College of Pharmacy, AlMaarefa University, Dariyah, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Introduction: Cancer patients often face challenges in managing their disease, particularly with regard to contraindications related to medications, foods, and physical activity, which can negatively affect treatment outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate cancer patients' awareness of these contraindications and to explore the influence of sociodemographic factors, support systems, comorbidities, and medication use on their knowledge.
Methods: A cross-sectional prospective study was conducted with 125 cancer patients in Saudi Arabia between December 2022 and February 2023.
Early CRPS Is a Heterogeneous Condition: Results From a Latent Class Analysis.
Eur J Pain
February 2025
Institute of Neuroscience, Université Catholique de Louvain, Brussels, Belgium.
Background: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a debilitating condition characterised by significant heterogeneity. Early diagnosis is critical, but limited data exists on the condition's early stages. This study aimed to characterise (very) early CRPS patients and explore potential subgroups to enhance understanding of its mechanisms.

Department of Pulmonology, Tianjin Children's Hospital (Children's Hospital of Tianjin University), Machang compus, 225 Machang Road, Hexi District, Tianjin, 300074, China.
Background: Foreign body inhalation is rare in older children, often leading to underdiagnosis and delayed treatment. Most cases involve a single foreign body, but instances of multiple foreign bodies are exceedingly uncommon. This report presents a case of an elder child who inhaled two pen caps, emphasizing the need for clinical vigilance and thorough medical history collection.

Background: Temperature is a key determinant of ectotherms distribution and growth. During the Eriocheir sinensis breeding process, it was observed that crabs in high latitudes and altitude areas with low temperatures undergo diapause, they would overwinter and continue to grow into three-year-old individuals, whose final body size is significantly larger than the normal two-year-old crabs. The hepatopancreas is responsible for maintaining the nutritional balance and energy required for the crab survival.
