Background: Sintering technique impacted color of zirconia. This study examined the effect of glass infiltration and altering cooling rate on color alteration of monochrome (Mo) and multilayer (Mu) 5 mol% yttria-partially stabilized zirconia (5Y-PSZ).
Material And Methods: 180 specimens (width, length, thickness = 10, 20, 2 mm) were prepared from Mo and Mu (comprising cervical (C) and incisal (I) zone) 5Y-PSZ shade VITA-A2. Unintentionally categorized samples (n=15/group) were sintered with traditional (T) versus glass infiltrated (G) technique and cooled down with slow (S: 5°C/min), normal (N: 35°C/min), and fast (F: 70°C/min). CIE-L*a*b* color characteristics were determined for translucency parameter (TP), contrast ratio (CR), opalescence parameter (OP), and color difference (∆Ediff). Microstructures were investigated with SEM and XRD. ANOVA and Tamhane's comparisons were determined for significant differences (<0.05).
Results: TP and OP were significantly higher for Mo than MuC and MuI, but no significant difference in CR among them. Comparable ΔEdiff between Mo and MuC were indicated, but both were significantly lesser than MuL. Glass infiltration and raising cooling rate significantly decreased TP and OP, whereas increased CR and ΔEdiff, which amplified color alteration.
Conclusions: Glass infiltration sintering and modified cooling rate significantly altered color parameters of 5Y-PSZ. Monochrome demonstrated higher translucency and opalescence than multilayer, possibly due to colorant additives. Glass infiltration decreased translucency and opalescence due to different refractive indices. Increased cooling rate resulted in decreasing translucency and opalescence due to smaller grain size and t→m transformation. Nevertheless, altered sintering and cooling rates still rendered an acceptable color alteration. Cooling rate, glass infiltration, optical characteristics, translucency.

Non-atherosclerotic coronary causes of myocardial infarction in women.
Prog Cardiovasc Dis

Ischemic heart disease is the most common cardiovascular cause of death in women worldwide. Obstructive coronary atherosclerosis is the primary cause of myocardial infarction (MI), however, non-atherosclerotic mechanisms of MI, such as spontaneous coronary artery dissection, vasospasm, microvascular dysfunction, embolization, inflammation, coronary anomalies, infectious and infiltrative causes are increasingly being recognized. Emerging data suggest that women are two to five times more likely to have an MI in the absence of coronary atherosclerosis compared to men, but they continue to remain underdiagnosed and undertreated, partly due to underdiagnosis and limited understanding of these mechanisms.

Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a potentially life-threatening condition which can present with hemoptysis, diffuse alveolar infiltrates, anemia, and hypoxic respiratory failure. Antisynthetase syndrome (AS) is a rare autoimmune disorder most often characterized by nonerosive arthritis, proximal muscle weakness with elevated muscle enzymes, Raynaud's phenomenon, hyperkeratosis of the digits (mechanic's hands), and interstitial lung disease. According to large population studies, AS has an annual incidence of 0.

Although human metapneumovirus(hMPV) infection can induce severe symptoms in older adults or immunocompromised patients, it usually causes mild symptoms in young immunocompetent adults. The prevalence of hMPV infectious disease is highest during the late winter and early summer. We report a hypoxemic case of hMPV infection in a young immunocompetent man that occurred in the first autumn after the reclassification of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) from Class 2 to Class 5.

Background: Primary lung adenocarcinoma can sometimes present atypically, mimicking interstitial lung disease (ILD), and posing significant diagnostic challenges. Such presentations often lead to misdiagnoses, delaying appropriate treatment.
Case Presentation: A 35-year-old female non-smoker presented with a six-month history of progressive cough, mild hemoptysis, fatigue, and exertional dyspnea, with no associated weight loss.
