Objectives: To evaluate the fabrication trueness and internal fit of hybrid abutment crowns fabricated by using additively and subtractively manufactured restorative materials.

Methods: A maxillary first premolar crown with a screw access channel was designed onto a digitized master titanium base abutment. This file was used to fabricate 40 crowns additively (Crowntec (CT) and VarseoSmile Crown Plus (VS)) or subtractively (Brilliant Crios (BC) and Vita Enamic (EN)) (n = 10). Crowns were digitized with an intraoral scanner and root mean square method was used to evaluate fabrication trueness. Master abutment and the crowns when seated on the abutment were also digitized with the same intraoral scanner and triple scan method was used to evaluate internal fit. Data were analyzed either with 1-way ANOVA (surface deviations) or Kruskal-Wallis (internal fit) tests (α= 0.05).

Results: CT had the highest overall, external, and marginal surface deviations (P≤.030), whereas BC had the lowest external (P≤.001) and VS and EN had the lowest marginal surface deviations (P≤.007). BC had the highest intaglio surface deviations (P<.001). BC and EN had higher average gap values CT and VS (P≤.006); however, the differences within additively and subtractively manufactured materials were nonsignificant (P≥.858).

Conclusions: One of the tested additively manufactured resins (CT) resulted in mostly lower trueness than that of other materials. However, deviations at the intaglio and marginal surfaces were generally small and the maximum mean difference among test groups when average gap was considered was 17.4 µm. Therefore, clinical fit of hybrid abutment crowns fabricated with tested materials may be similar.

Background: The International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) stands out for its utility and widespread use to measure sexual function in men. However, it lacks consistency in its internal latent structure across studies, has not been evaluated for measurement invariance, and has not undergone psychometric validation for its 15-item form in Spanish among South American countries.

Aim: To examine the IIEF's psychometric evidence (ie, structural/criterion validity and reliability) in a sample of adult men and determine its measurement invariance across relationship status (single vs in a relationship) and age generations (generations Z, Y/millennials, and X).

Background: We aim to develop a model to predict the probability of tonic-clonic seizures in women with epilepsy (WWE) at any point during pregnancy until six weeks postpartum.

Methods: We conducted a screening of patients diagnosed with epilepsy and who were pregnant, at a tertiary hospital in China, during the period of 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2020. We then followed up with these patients for at least one year postpartum.

Despite the widespread exploration and availability of parcellations for the functional connectome, parcellations designed for the structural connectome are comparatively limited. Current research suggests that there may be no single "correct" parcellation and that the human brain is intrinsically a multiresolution entity. In this work, we propose the Continuous Structural Connectivitity-based, Nested (CoCoNest) family of parcellations-a fully data-driven, multiresolution family of parcellations derived from structural connectome data.

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is the causative factor in a small proportion of strokes. It primarily affects individuals aged less than 55 years, with up to two-thirds of cases affecting females. It can be precipitated by a myriad of transient or permanent risk factors that result in a prothrombotic state.
