Objective: Introduction: The use of ceramic veneers is one of the modern methods of correction of color changes in teeth. The effectiveness of treating dental discoloration with the use of veneers depends on their high-quality fixation on teeth. The aim of the research is to conduct a comparative assessment of the adhesion strength on offset when fixing veneers by various materials and methods.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: four types of samples were studied for five each. The first sample is the veneer of typical tooth preparation, fixed on DENTSPLY's Calibra composite cement. The second sample is the "inlay in veneer" design on a tooth with atypical preparation, fixed on DENTSPLY's Calibra composite cement. The third sample is the veneer of standard preparation, was fixed on GC's Gradia Direct heated light curing composite. The fourth sample is the "inlay in veneer" design on a tooth with atypical preparation, fixed on a heated light curing Gradia Direct composite manufactured by GC. The veneers are made of pressed ceramics - disilicate of lithium IPS e.max Press and laminate ceramics IPS e.max Ceram. The tests were carried out using the deformation unit MRK-1.
Results: Results: The adhesive strength of the first sample was 18.8 MPa, the second was significantly increased by 51&. In the third sample, adhesive strength increased by 71& as compared to the first sample, and by 14& as compared to the second one. The adhesive strength of the fourth sample was 46.5 MPa, which is 147& more as compared to the first sample, 64& and 44& higher than the second sample and the third sample, respectively.
Conclusion: Conclusions: Fixation of inlays on the heated composite, both in the classical technique of preparation, and when applying the "inlay in veneer" technique, improves the adhesive strength of the compound by almost 2.5 times.

Background: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) stands out as a significant transfusion-transmissible infection, yet it is not included in the screening protocols of many countries. The present study was conducted to assess the cost-benefit implications of incorporating HEV screening among blood donors which is one of the preventive strategies in reducing transfusion transmissible HEV.
Methodology: A decision tree model was prepared to assist the cost-benefit analysis.

Aims/hypothesis: COMBINE 2 assessed the efficacy and safety of once-weekly IcoSema (a combination therapy of basal insulin icodec and semaglutide) vs once-weekly semaglutide (a glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue) 1.0 mg in individuals with type 2 diabetes inadequately managed with GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) therapy, with or without additional oral glucose-lowering medications.
Methods: This 52 week, randomised, multicentre, open-label, parallel group, Phase IIIa trial was conducted across 121 sites in 13 countries/regions.

Compared with uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs), complicated UTIs (cUTIs) including acute pyelonephritis (AP) present with significant morbidity, a higher risk of treatment failure and typically require longer courses of treatment, or alternative antibiotics. The emergence of drug-resistant organisms represents a considerable challenge in the treatment of patients with cUTIs/AP and has limited antibiotic options. Carbapenems are considered the current last line of therapy, however, carbapenem resistance represents a growing problem.

For millennia mud has been utilized to make brick for the construction of both residential as well as architectural purposes. However, concerns regarding their vulnerability to different kinds of hazards due to their weak mechanical properties and durability have emerged. This study addressed the global challenge of developing sustainable and affordable construction materials, particularly in resource-constrained regions.

The development of carbon monoxide oxidation catalysts for complex gas environments faces significant challenges in fire scenarios. Only a few representative gases are used as interfering components in simulated real smoke under laboratory conditions, which cannot accurately reflect the performance of catalysts in a real fire. Herein, Au/CeO catalysts with high activity were prepared by adjusting the morphology (rod, cube, polyhedron and irregular particles) and exposed crystal surface ratio of CeO.
