AI Article Synopsis
- - The study examined how consistently retentive devices made from cast titanium could reproduce their shapes using different adhesives for retention beads.
- - Wax patterns were created and cast using two types of machines, and various imaging and measurement techniques were employed to assess the quality of the casts.
- - Results showed that the choice of adhesive did not significantly affect the shape reproduction, but better results were achieved with a one-chamber casting machine when using a combination of two adhesives.
Article Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the shape reproducibility of retentive devices made of cast titanium. Retention beads were placed on wax patterns for frameworks of composite resin-veneered restoration using four bead adhesives. The wax patterns were invested in the magnesia-based material and titanium was cast using two different casting machines. The percentage of reproduced retentive devices were evaluated using imaging software. Cast specimens were sliced and concavity was evaluated. The contact angle between the wax surface and adhesives was determined with a contact angle meter. The reproducibility of retentive devices was not influenced by the type of adhesive for both machines. Reproducibility, however, was better for castings fabricated by a one-chamber machine with the use of two adhesives. Although the contact angle to wax material of adhesives varied considerably, reproducibility and concavity of retentive devices of titanium castings were guaranteed with the combination of two machines and four bead adhesives.

Removable Prosthodontics Department, Faculty of Dentistry, October 6 University, Giza, Egypt.
Background: The continuous development in digital prosthodontics allowed the customization of attachments and retentive inserts which offers an easy and cheap solution for regular maintenance of locator overdentures during daily practice. The present study compared the change in retention values of the fully digitally manufactured custom-made locator attachment retentive insert with the ready-made ones after insertion, removal, and masticatory cycles.
Methods: A complete denture was constructed over a mandibular edentulous epoxy model.

It is urgent for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to develop a robust and facile therapy for effective control of serum phosphate and reasonable regulation of gut microbiota, which are aiming to prevent cardiovascular calcification and reduce cardiovascular complications. Here, bioinspired by intestinal microstructures, we developed biomimetic wrinkled prebiotic-containing microspheres with enhanced intestinal retention and absorption for reducing hyperphosphatemia and vascular calcification of CKD model rats. The resultant CSM@5 microspheres exhibited favorable phosphate binding capacity in vitro and could effectively reduce serum concentration of phosphorous in vivo.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of HoLEP in patients aged > 85 years with indwelling catheter (IDC).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed our bicentric HoLEP database to identify consecutive patients with IDC and trial without catheter (TWOC) failure who underwent surgery between June 2012 and April 2020. Our primary focus was on the population over 85 years of age; Patients under 70 years of age were used as controls.
South Dakota's Emergency Medical Services (EMS) volunteer participation is declining, and projected to further decrease over the next decade. To minimize this deficit, South Dakota's Department of Health recommends that rural firefighters assist EMS in high-acuity calls to decrease the burden on EMS personnel in an effort to improve volunteer retention. Bridging the Gap from Rural Trauma to Rural Healthcare aimed to create educational training opportunities for firefighters when assisting EMS.

In this work, we present a facile and straightforward approach for fabricating highly stretchable photodetectors based on AgS and TiCT MXene hybrid materials. These devices exhibit exceptional mechanical resilience, maintaining stable electrical and optical performance even after 10 000 cycles of 30% strain. The incorporation of MXene not only enhances the device's electrical durability but also ensures the retention of conductivity under significant mechanical deformation, positioning MXene as a critical material for the advancement of flexible electronics.
