Background: Various scanning methods aim to reduce intraoral scanner errors, yet no specific approach targets paediatric patients.

Aim: Evaluate continuous (C) and noncontinuous (NC) scanning patterns' impact on the trueness and duration of paediatric digital impressions.

Design: A standard pedodontic typodont model was scanned with a Trios 4 Move+ IOS using four scanning strategies. C1 and C2 followed continuous scanning from the right molars, with different directions. NC1 scanned noncontinuously from the right molar, with breaks every four teeth. NC2 began at the right primary incisor, with breaks after every three teeth. Each scan, performed five times by one researcher, was timed. Industrial scanning provided reference data. Deviations were analyzed using the MIXED procedure.

Results: NC1 had higher deviations in the lower jaw, whereas C1 and NC1 showed higher deviations in the upper jaw (p < .001). C1 had significantly higher deviations in the upper jaw than the lower jaw (p = .041). NC2 had the longest scanning time in both upper and lower jaws (p = .002).

Conclusion: Paediatric digital impressions benefit from starting at the anterior and incorporating breaks, although this increases scanning time.

Synthesis and Evaluation of a Bifunctional Chelator for Thorium-227 Targeted Radiotherapy.

J Med Chem

January 2025

Chemical Sciences Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, California 94720, United States.

Thorium-227 (Th) is an α-emitting radionuclide currently under investigation for targeted alpha therapy. Available chelators used for this isotope suffer from challenging multistep syntheses. Here, we present the synthesis and preclinical evaluation of a novel bifunctional chelator, SCN-Bn-DOTHOPO, which contains an isothiocyanate group that is suitable for conjugation to biological molecules.

Objectives: To evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of universal cements (UCs) to dentin prepared with different diamond burs using various adhesive strategies.

Materials And Methods: One-hundred-twenty molars were prepared to expose the mid-coronal dentin. The teeth were divided into two groups according to diamond bur preparations: coarse and super-fine grit burs.

Background: Alzheimer disease (AD) involves neurodegenerative disorders with progressive cognitive decline. Atypical presentations like Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA) and Logopenic Variant Primary Progressive Aphasia (lvPPA) exhibit distinct clinical profiles. PCA affects the posterior parietal and occipital lobes, causing visuospatial deficits, while lvPPA manifests as language impairment in the temporoparietal region.

Background: Assessing tau accumulation in early affected areas like the lateral entorhinal cortex (EC) and inferior temporal gyrus (ITG) enables early prediction of disease progression and cognitive decline. However, positron emission tomography (PET) imaging poses radiation exposure and cost concerns. This research aims to develop a deep learning model predicting tau positivity in these regions using MRI.

Background: Microglial reactivity and neuroinflammation are crucial pathological processes in Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Several attempts to develop a treatment by supressing the immune response in AD have been made, yet these yielded very limited results. Recent studies suggest contrasting effects of microglial reactivity, indicating a biphasic response with both beneficial and deleterious effects at distinct stages of AD.
