Introduction: Fracture of anterior teeth is the most frequent type of injury in the permanent dentition. Composite materials have made possible the use of adhesive materials and techniques, but storage of fragment in the media can enhance the bond strength. The purpose was to evaluate the influence of storage media and duration of the fragment in the media on the bond strength of the reattached fragment of teeth.
Materials And Methods: A total of 104 permanent maxillary central incisors were included. Samples were divided into four groups of 26 teeth each, further divided into eight groups of 13 teeth each and sectioned 3 mm apical to the incisal edge and stored in four storage media-tap water, artificial saliva, sodium fluoride, and Tooth Mousse at 12 and 24 hours. The bond strength was measured by universal strength testing machine.
Results: Tooth Mousse showed statistically significant difference (p-value 0.001) compared with sodium fluoride, artificial saliva, and tap water when stored in both 12 and 24 hours' duration.
Conclusion: Tooth Mousse was a better storage media when compared with sodium fluoride, artificial saliva, and tap water.
Clinical Significance: Tooth Mousse can be considered as a best storage media for fragment reattachment. Jalannavar P, Tavargeri A. Influence of Storage Media and Duration of Fragment in the Media on the Bond Strength of the Reattached Tooth Fragment. Int J Clin Pediatr Dent 2018;11(2):83-88.

Peptides are widely used in biomaterials due to their ease of synthesis, ability to signal cells, and modify the properties of biomaterials. A key benefit of using peptides is that they are natural substrates for cell-secreted enzymes, which creates the possibility of utilizing cell-secreted enzymes for tuning cell-material interactions. However, these enzymes can also induce unwanted degradation of bioactive peptides in biomaterials, or in peptide therapies.

Sub-cellular organelle anomalies are frequently observed in diseases such as cancer. Early and precise diagnosis of these alterations can be crucial for patient outcomes. However, current diagnostic tools using conventional organic dyes or metal quantum dots face limitations, including poor biocompatibility, stringent storage conditions, limited solubility in aqueous media, and slow staining speeds.

In response to the growing need to expand the knowledge base on novel, more sustainable protein sources, this study investigated the effectiveness of cowpea protein concentrate (CPC) as a natural emulsifying agent, examining the relationships between pH (3-11), oil concentration (2-10 %), and emulsion stability. pH and oil concentration significantly impacted droplet size distribution, with uniformity decreasing in the order of pH 9 > pH 11 > pH 7, which was attributed to droplet coalescence and flocculation. As evidenced by circular dichroism, alkalinity induced a slight increase in the beta-sheet content of CPC, while simultaneously reducing the alpha-helix content.

Most current research in cloud forensics is focused on tackling the challenges encountered by forensic investigators in identifying and recovering artifacts from cloud devices. These challenges arise from the diverse array of cloud service providers as each has its distinct rules, guidelines, and requirements. This research proposes an investigation technique for identifying and locating data remnants in two main stages: artefact collection and evidence identification.

Polymer-based aqueous redox flow batteries (RFBs) are attracting increasing attention as a promising next-generation energy storage technology due to their potential for low cost and environmental friendliness. The search for new redox-active organic compounds for incorporation into polymer materials is ongoing, with anolyte-type compounds in high demand. In response to this need, we have synthesized and tested a range of new water-soluble redox-active s-tetrazine derivatives, including both low molecular weight compounds and polymers with different architectures.
