This study aims to measure the trueness of zirconia crowns with different build directions of materials fabricated using the stereolithography (SLA) method. The anatomic contour crown of prepped maxillary right first molar was designed using CAD software to obtain the standard tessellation language (STL) file. Two different build directions were set for the crowns using Materialize Magics software. One group was built with a margin base platform, while the other group was built in the direction opposite to the occlusal surface base platform. The 20 crown-shaped parts were printed. The STL files of scanned printing zirconia crowns were superimposed each segment by the 3D analysis software. The two groups were statistically analyzed using t-tests. Significant differences were found in the marginal and internal discrepancies between the groups. The build direction had a significant influence on the accuracy of the zirconia crown. The results indicate the most effective build direction for manufacturing SLA 3D-printed crowns.

Introduction: Community-based overdose prevention sites (OPS) are recognized for reducing overdose deaths and the spread of HIV and hepatitis C among people who use drugs (PWUD). While some hospitals in Europe and Canada have successfully integrated OPS into their facilities, such integration remains illegal in the United States. This study explores the feasibility and acceptability of implementing an OPS at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP), situated in an urban area with high rates of overdose.

This study presents the direct measurement of proton transport along filamentous , or cable bacteria. Cable bacteria are filamentous multicellular microorganisms that have garnered much interest due to their ability to serve as electrical conduits, transferring electrons over several millimeters. Our results indicate that cable bacteria can also function as protonic conduits because they contain proton wires that transport protons at distances >100 µm.

Since the corona pandemic, there has been more distrust towards the government and official institutions, more people are attracted to conspiracy theories and society has become more polarized. This increased distrust is also reflected in doctors' consulting rooms. It can be specifically aimed at medical interventions, the prescription of medication and the use of vaccinations, but also more broadly at the doctor as a representative of the established order.

However, they remain difficult to design and are instead typically selected for using extensive screens or directed evolution. Recent developments in protein large language models have enabled fast generation of diverse protein sequences in unexplored regions of protein space predicted to fold into varied structures, bind relevant targets, and catalyze novel reactions.
