A case report of tooth agenesis and excessive intraarch space due to tooth size discrepancies and malformed teeth is presented. Interdisciplinary treatment including orthodontics, implant surgery, prosthodontics, and laboratory fabrication with dissimilar restoration and material types was used to accomplish an esthetic and functional outcome. Proper diagnosis of individual tooth width and proportion were key elements in treatment. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Knowledge and understanding of the relationships of the mandibular to maxillary anterior teeth and shade management of dissimilar restoration types will allow the interdisciplinary team to achieve the desired esthetic restorative result.

Background: Low-doses of bone modifying agents (LD-BMAs) compared to those used to treat bone metastases are used in breast or prostate cancer patients on adjuvant endocrine therapy to prevent Cancer Treatment Induced Bone Loss (CTIBL). Their use is associated with an increased risk of developing Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ). However, there is not clarity about strategies aimed to minimize the MRONJ risk in cancer patients at different conditions as low- vs high-doses of BMA.

The clinical presentation and epidemiology of infective endocarditis (IE) have evolved over time. While the cornerstones of IE treatment remain antimicrobial therapy and surgery, percutaneous mechanical aspiration (PMA) has emerged as an option for carefully selected patients as a complementary modality, based on retrospective data, case series, and expert experience. In this comprehensive review, we summarize the proceedings from an inaugural summit dedicated to the discussion of PMA in the global management of IE, consisting of experts across multiple disciplines from diverse geographic regions and care environments.

This study investigates the potential of phototrophic microalgae, specifically Chlorella protothecoides, for biological wastewater treatment, with a focus on the effects of air temperature and CO concentration on nutrient removal from tertiary municipal wastewater. Utilizing both the Monod and Arrhenius kinetic models, the research examines how temperature and nutrient availability influence microalgal growth and nutrient removal. The study finds that optimal biomass productivity occurs at 25 °C, with growth slowing at higher temperatures (30 °C, 40 °C, and 45 °C).

UBE2N protein belongs to the UE2s family and plays a crucial role in DNA repair, making it an exciting target for the development of innovative anticancer therapies. With the aim of discovering UBE2N inhibitors (UBE2Ni), this perspective seeks to review and provide elements to guide the design of new compounds. We propose a chemoinformatic structural analysis of the protein and its areas of interaction with its different partners.

Introduction: End-of-life care is essential for older adults aged ≥60, particularly those residing in long-term care facilities, such as nursing homes, which are known for their home-like environments compared with hospitals. Due to potential limitations in medical resources, collaboration with external healthcare providers is crucial to ensure comprehensive services within these settings. Previous studies have primarily focused on team-based models for end-of-life care in hospitals and home-based settings.
