Congenital missing second premolars in growing patients should be accurately evaluated in order to establish a suitable treatment plan. Concerning the decision of whether to close or maintain spaces in the dental arches, it shall also be based on biomechanical aspects and the aesthetic traits of individual patients. Accordingly, the option of closing tooth spaces requires an adequate application of biomechanical principles aimed at avoiding detrimental effects on dental arches and facial profile. An effective use of titanium miniscrews for immediate loading, associated with efficient sliding mechanics, can represent an elective way to successfully treat such cases. Herein, the objective is to describe the procedure and underscore the advantages of the mentioned approach by presenting a clinical case along with long-term follow-up.

The ferroelectricity in stacked van der Waals multilayers through interlayer sliding holds great promise for ultrathin high-density memory devices, yet mostly subject to weak polarization and cryogenic operating condition. Here, we demonstrate robust room-temperature ferroelectricity in monolayer graphene sandwiched between hexagonal boron nitride layers with a rhombohedral-like stacking (i.e.

Follicular lymphoma (FL) represents the most prevalent subtype of non-Hodgkin's-lymphoma in Western Europe and the United States. While the examination of two-dimensional histological slides remains the gold standard method for diagnosing FL stages, three-dimensional analysis provides additional insights, particularly regarding cellular morphology, spatial relationships and network connectivity. This investigation assessed the tumor-related morphological destruction of fibroreticular cell (FRC) networks bordering germinal centres in FL.

Existing prognostic models are useful for estimating the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma patients, but there remains room for improvement. In the current study, we developed a deep learning model based on histopathological images to predict the recurrence risk of lung adenocarcinoma patients. The efficiency of the model was then evaluated in independent multicenter cohorts.

: The aim of this study was to evaluate the abrasive wear of the sliding screw-rod joint used in growth guidance system (GGS) stabilizers, allowing for the translation of the screw along the rod during the spinal growth process in a standard and modified system. : The study used single kinematic screw-rod pairs made of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V. Mechanical tests (cyclic loads) simulated the stabilizer's operation under conditions similar to actual use.

Particularly, the bacteria maintain cell-cell linkage after cell division and form long chains of many cells. The cells in a chain are continuously pushed outward by the mechanical force of cell growth.
