Background: Routine laboratory procedures and repeated glazed effect the final color of metal-ceramic restorations (MCRs). Clinicians wonder if the color changes after routine laboratory procedures and repeated glazed is clinically acceptable or not.

Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the color changes of MCRs after routine laboratory procedures and then glazed for 1, 2, and 3 times.

Materials And Methods: Forty-five disc-shaped (10-mm diameter and 1-mm thickness) specimens were fabricated from Cr-Co metal-alloy. Bonding agent, first and second layer of shade A opaque porcelain (OP) were applied on the metal specimens. The color of specimens was measured with a spectrophotometer after each procedure and △E, △E and △E values were calculated. Shade A feldspathic porcelain was applied (2-mm thickness) to all specimens. Glaze was applied on the porcelain for 1, 2, and 3 times and then, the color measured after each procedure and △E, △E, and △E values were calculated. Data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA and Duncan test ( < 0.05).

Results: △E that was obtained between the first layer of OP and bonding agent showed the greatest value. △E that was obtained between the second and first layer of OP showed the lowest value. After repeated glazed procedures, the final color of the specimens was changed; but, these changes were clinically acceptable (△E < 5.5).

Conclusions: The routine laboratory procedures and glazed for 1,2, and 3 times is effect the color of MCRs; but, the color changes were clinically acceptable (△E < 5.5).

Background: We aimed to characterize factors associated with the under-studied complication of cognitive decline in aging people with long-duration type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Methods: Joslin "Medalists" (n = 222; T1D ≥ 50 years) underwent cognitive testing. Medalists (n = 52) and age-matched non-diabetic controls (n = 20) underwent neuro- and retinal imaging.

Retrosynthesis is a strategy to analyze the synthetic routes for target molecules in medicinal chemistry. However, traditional retrosynthesis predictions performed by chemists and rule-based expert systems struggle to adapt to the vast chemical space of real-world scenarios. Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized retrosynthesis prediction in recent decades, significantly increasing the accuracy and diversity of predictions for target compounds.

Transient methods for understanding the properties of strongly oxidizing radicals.

This review discusses the properties of strongly oxidizing radicals in organic and aqueous media and highlights the challenges in obtaining accurate values of their reduction potentials. Transient redox equilibrium methods based on the use of strong photooxidants or initiated by pulse radiolysis are shown to provide versatile approaches for decoupling electron transfer reactions from follow-up reactivity of unstable radical species, resulting in accurate values of reduction potentials of very positive couples, including some solvent radical cations. We also show that correlations of reduction potentials with Hammett ∑+p parameters, as well as gas phase ionization potentials, can be used to estimate the redox properties of unknown couples within a homologous series of compounds.
