Objectives: Aim of this systematic review was to summarize the factors that affect the success rate of atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) restorations in children.
Data/sources: Two independent reviewers conducted a literature search in the databases PubMed, Medline and Web of Science until October 2019 with no initial time limit. Articles reporting on clinical outcomes of ART restorations placed in children were included.
Study Selection: A total of 67 articles were included in this review reporting on clinical outcomes of ART restorations placed in children in 47 studies. The overall estimated success rate and 95 % confidence interval (CI) of ART restorations were 0.71 (0.65-0.77) and 0.67 (0.56-0.78) at the 12-month and the 24-month follow-up, respectively. Operator was one of the significant factors associated with the success rate of ART restorations. ART restorations placed by dental students/therapists had a significantly lower success rate compared with those placed by dentists. Besides, type of restoration (single-surface vs. multiple-surface restoration) was also associated with the success rate of ART restorations. Other factors including dentition, restorative material, clinical setting, and moisture control method had no significant influence on the success rate of ART restorations in children.
Conclusion: It is concluded that ART approach can be used to manage cavitated caries lesions in children. Operator and type of restoration are significant factors influencing the success rate of ART restorations.
Clinical Significance: This study provides valuable information on the factors that affect success rate of ART restorations in children, which helps clinicians to make informed decisions on provision of ART restorations in children.

Exercise Therapy Rescues Skeletal Muscle Dysfunction and Exercise Intolerance in Cardiometabolic HFpEF.
JACC Basic Transl Sci

Vascular Metabolism Laboratory, Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA.
Exercise intolerance, a hallmark of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) exacerbated by obesity, involves unclear mechanisms related to skeletal muscle metabolism. In a "2-hit" model of HFpEF, we investigated the ability of exercise therapy (voluntary wheel running) to reverse skeletal muscle dysfunction and exercise intolerance. Using state-of-the-art metabolic cages and a multiomic approach, we demonstrate exercise can rescue dysfunctional skeletal muscle lipid and branched-chain amino acid oxidation and restore exercise capacity in mice with cardiometabolic HFpEF.

Background: The study aims to investigate the demographic characteristics, the variations in their immune status, and mortality risk among HIV-1 infection long-term non-progressors (LTNP).
Methods: Eligible LTNP and typical progressors (TP) were recruited in Guangxi by December 2018. Participants were followed up until December 2022, monitoring ART status, CD4 T cell counts, and survival/death outcomes.
Feature enhanced cascading attention network for lightweight image super-resolution.

Attention mechanisms have been introduced to exploit deep-level information for image restoration by capturing feature dependencies. However, existing attention mechanisms often have limited perceptual capabilities and are incompatible with low-power devices due to computational resource constraints. Therefore, we propose a feature enhanced cascading attention network (FECAN) that introduces a novel feature enhanced cascading attention (FECA) mechanism, consisting of enhanced shuffle attention (ESA) and multi-scale large separable kernel attention (MLSKA).

A key challenge in the art and archaeological field is the instrumental analysis of objects and materials while preserving their integrity. In this study, the world-renowned artwork Alexander Mosaic (The Issus Battle, collection of the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, IT), the most iconic representation of the face of the Macedonian king Alexander the Great coming from a Pompeii domus, was thoroughly analyzed with mobile and non-invasive methods, within a great project of restoration started in 2020. Representative areas of the Mosaic, overall consisting of ca.

The unprecedented technical and technological evolution in thyroid surgery has labelled it as an extremely safe and efficient procedure, and indeed "typifies perhaps better than any other operation the supreme triumph of the surgeon's art."-William Halsted, 1852-1922. Surgeon's experience reflected by annual case load is the most important denominator in thyroid surgery.
