Published: December 2024

Temporomandibular joint is a compound, bilateral, ginglymoarthroidal joint articulating the condyle to temporal glenoid fossa. TMDs often project a constellation of signs and symptoms. Therefore, the treatment plan for TMD's should be more holistic. Current literature supports the interrelationship between chronic pain and behavioral, psychological, and psychosocial factors. This review elicits various treatment strategies for TMD's and emphasizes combination of various therapies in resolution of pain and discomfort in patients with such disorders.

Background: Intrathecal morphine is the mainstay for post-Caesarean multimodal analgesia but is associated with important side-effects. Novel ultrasound-guided abdominal wall fascial plane blocks are proposed as intrathecal morphine alternatives, but evidence of effectiveness is conflicting. We compared the analgesic effects of fascial plane blocks with those of intrathecal morphine after Caesarean delivery.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the marginal seal of novel bioactive restorative materials and the material-related properties associated with bacterial microleakage.

Methods: Class II cavities prepared into human extracted teeth were restored with: Venus Diamond (VD) + selective enamel etching (SEE)/self-etching universal adhesive (SEA), ACTIVA BioACTIVE RESTORATIVE (AB) + SEE/SEA, Cention Forte (CF) + Cention Primer, Ketac Universal Aplicap (KU), EQUIA Forte HT (EF) and Surefil One (SO) and exposed to a cariogenic multi-species bacterial suspension for 7 days. Bacterial microleakage was visualized with a modified gram staining protocol and bacterial penetration depths were microscopically determined after sectioning the teeth.

CAR assembly line: Taking CAR T-cell manufacturing to the next level.

December 2024

Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology, Taussig Cancer Institute, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, OH, USA.

The widespread adoption of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has been limited by complex, resource-intensive manufacturing processes. This review discusses the latest innovations aiming to improve and streamline CAR T-cell production across key steps like T-cell activation, genetic modification, expansion, and scaling. Promising techniques highlighted include generating CAR T cells from non-activated lymphocytes to retain a stem-like phenotype and function, non-viral gene transfer leveraging platforms like transposon and CRISPR, all-in-one fully automated bioreactors like the CliniMACS Prodigy and the Lonza Cocoon, rapid CAR T-cell manufacturing via abbreviating or eliminating ex vivo T-cell culture, implementing decentralized point-of-care automated manufacturing platforms, and optimizing centralized bioreactor infrastructure integrating end-to-end automation.

Inhalation of elemental mercury is a rare cause of ARDS, with limited published case reports to provide guidance regarding disease progression and management. Although extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used to treat toxin-induced lung injury, its application to initial treatment and long-term recovery for inhalation of mercury remains undescribed. We present a case of a 56-year-old man who works at a thermometer factory presenting with severe ARDS secondary to inhaled elemental mercury with confirmatory blood and urine mercury levels.

Background: The imperative need for early cancer detection, which is crucial for improved survival rates in many severe cancers such as lung cancer, remains challenging due to the lack of reliable early-diagnosis technologies and robust biomarkers. To address this gap, innovative screening platforms are essential to unveil the chemical signatures of lung cancer and its treatments. It is established that the oxidative tumor environment induces alterations in host metabolic processes and influences endogenous volatile synthesis.
