Aim: To determine the effect of alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) in molar sites without primary flap closure.

Materials And Methods: Three groups were established: extraction sockets grafted with deproteinized bovine bone mineral containing 10% collagen (DBBM-C) and covered by a native bilayer collagen membrane (NBCM) (test group 1), sockets grafted with DBBM-C only (test group 2), and sockets that healed naturally (control group). Primary flap closure was not attempted. Conebeam computed tomography scans were obtained immediately and then 4 months after ARP. A biopsy was performed. The change of the marginal bone level was measured.

Results: There was significantly less horizontal resorption in test group 1 than in the control group at levels 1 mm (-1.02 ± 0.88 [mean ± SD] vs. -4.44 ± 3.71 mm) and 3 mm (-0.31 ± 1.51 vs. -2.27 ± 1.15 mm) below the crest, and significantly less vertical reduction in the midcrestal area in test group 1 than in test group 2 (-0.25 ± 0.95 vs. -1.15 ± 1.63 mm) (p < .05). There were no significant differences between test groups in clinical and histomorphometric measurements. All groups exhibited stable marginal bone levels after 1 year of loading.

Conclusion: Alveolar ridge preservation without primary flap closure in molar areas was effective in minimizing ridge resorption and facilitated implant treatment.

Understanding structure-mechanical activity relationships (SMARs) in polymer mechanochemistry is essential for the rational design of mechanophores with desired properties, yet SMARs in noncovalent mechanical transformations remain relatively underexplored. In this study, we designed a subset of diarylethene mechanophores based on a lever-arm hypothesis and systematically investigated their mechanical activity toward a noncovalent-yet-chemical conversion of atropisomer stereochemistry. Results from Density functional theory (DFT) calculations, single-molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) measurements, and ultrasonication experiments collectively support the lever-arm hypothesis and confirm the exceptional sensitivity of chemo-mechanical coupling in these atropisomers.

Objective: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. In particular, functional outcomes of SAH caused by large or giant (≥ 10 mm) ruptured intracranial aneurysms are worsened by high procedure-related complication rates. However, studies describing the risk factors for poor functional outcomes specific to ruptured large/giant aneurysms are sparse.

Background: There is limited evidence of high-quality, accessible, culturally safe, and effective digital health interventions for Indigenous mothers and babies. Like any other intervention, the feasibility and efficacy of digital health interventions depend on how well they are co-designed with Indigenous communities and their adaptability to intracultural diversity.

Objective: This study aims to adapt an existing co-designed mobile health (mHealth) intervention app with health professionals and Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander mothers living in South Australia.

Purpose: We aimed to identify the transcriptomic signatures of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) related to radioresistance and establish a model to predict radioresistance.

Materials And Methods: Nine STS cell lines were cultured. Adenosine triphosphate-based viability was determined 5 days after irradiation with 8 Gy of X-rays in a single fraction.

Modern treatment, a healthy diet, and physical activity routines lower the risk factors for metabolic syndrome; however, this condition is associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality worldwide. This investigation involved a randomized controlled trial, double-blind, parallel study. Fifty-eight participants with risk factors of metabolic syndrome according to the inclusion criteria were randomized into two groups and given probiotics (Lacticaseibacillus paracasei MSMC39-1 and Bifidobacterium animalis TA-1) (n = 31) or a placebo (n = 27).
