Objective: This in-vitro study aims to study the stress distribution within the ceramic veneer-tooth system with two incisal preparation designs-butt joint (BJ) and feathered edge (FE), and to correlate these findings to the results of our previous published load-to-failure study.
Methods: Six photoelastic models were fabricated with an epoxy resin material (West System 105 Epoxy Resin/205 Fast Hardener, West System) to represent BJ and FE preparation configurations at 0° and 20° loading angulations. Lithium disilicate ceramic veneers (IPS e.max CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent) were bonded to the BJ and FE photoelastic models using resin cement (IPS Variolink Esthetic, Ivoclar Vivadent). Each model was loaded using an Instron Universal Testing Machine at the incisal edge at a cross-head speed of 0.25 mm/min till 100 N.
Results: BJ photoelastic model had more uniform distribution compared with FE photoelastic models under 0° and 20° loading angulations.
Conclusion: Parallel to the results of our earlier load-to-failure published study, both incisal preparation designs affect stress distribution within the ceramic veneer-tooth system. BJ photoelastic model demonstrated a more uniform distribution compared with FE photoelastic model.
Clinical Significance: BJ incisal preparation design has more uniform stress distribution than FE preparation design within the ceramic veneer-tooth system.

Background: Synapse degeneration is one of the earliest changes in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is the major neuropathologic correlate of cognitive impairment. The aim of this study was to characterize microRNA (miRNA) dysregulation at AD synapses post-mortem brain tissue and explore the specificity for AD.
Method: We prepared synaptosomes (SYN) by serial ultracentrifugation of 10 AD (mean age = 77.

The use of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has greatly improved pesticide effectiveness and control efficiency; however, the risk of inhalation exposure to pesticides caused by spray drift requires urgent attention. This study is the first to investigate residue distribution and inhalation exposure risk of airborne prothioconazole and its metabolite prothioconazole-desthio during UAV application. The maximum detected unit exposure of prothioconazole and prothioconazole-desthio in airborne particulate matter was 0.

Aim: The aim is to evaluate and compare stress distribution characteristics of ball, magnet, and positioned attachment systems in single and double implant-retained overdentures using the finite element method (FEM).
Setting And Design: In vitro (in silico study) finite element analysis (FEA).
Materials And Methods: A Styrofoam mandible with duplicated silicon mucosa was used to construct a mandibular complete denture.
Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a condition that often has significant psychosocial and economic impacts on the caregivers of affected children.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the association between the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level and the psychosocial and economic impact on caregivers of children with CP.
Methodology: A hospital-based cross-sectional observational study was conducted on children with CP aged 2-14 years, admitted to the Inpatient Department (IPD) or attending the District Early Intervention Center (DEIC) for physiotherapy at a teaching hospital in Odisha, from December 2020 to November 2022.

Introduction: The professional caregiver workforce (nursing assistants and personal care aides) is critical to quality of care and quality of life in nursing home (NH) and assisted living (AL) settings. The work is highly stressful, so improving responses to stress in this workforce could contribute to satisfaction and retention. This research developed a coping measure appropriate for the diverse professional caregiver workforce.
