The aim was to evaluate the canal straightening and the amount of apically extruded debris associated with five rotary nickel-titanium when preparing curved root canals. A total of 100 root canals in extracted human teeth (angles of curvatures 20°-30°; radii 5.9-13.5 mm) were divided into five groups (n = 20/group). The groups were balanced with r…[Lees meer]

The diagnostic rates in the three groups were 46.0% (29/63), 48.6% (34/70), and 84.6% (33/39). ATP7B, SLC25A13, and G6PC were the top three genes related to monogenic liver disease in this study. Conclusion WES and TGPS show similar diagnostic rates in the diagnosis of monogenic liver disease. NGS has an important role in the diagnosis of…[Lees meer]

We prospectively investigated the prognostic value of imaging parameters for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET)/computed tomography (CT). Patients with stage III-IVb NPC underwent F-FDG…[Lees meer]

Climate change and an increasing world population means traditional farming methods may not be able to meet the anticipated growth in food demands. Therefore, alternative agricultural strategies should be considered. Here, plant cell and tissue cultures (PCTCs) may present a possible solution, as they allow for controlled, closed and sustainable…[Lees meer]

A kinetic Monte Carlo framework was used to study the collective/coupled effect of reactions on the progress of the co-crystallization process. it was found that operating at low temperatures (especially lower or very close to the melting temperature of ibuprofen) for longer residency times creates a safe route for maximizing the presence of…[Lees meer]

030) increase in asthma mortality, and non-significantly associated with a 9% (95% CI 1%-19%, p = 0.073) in cardio-respiratory mortality. Better urban ventilation can help disperse vehicle-related pollutants and allow moderation of UHIs, and for a coastal city may allow moderation of cold temperatures. Urban planning should take ventilation into…[Lees meer]

To compare the muscle synergies, a scalar product (SP) evaluating synergy coincidence was calculated, and the muscle synergies were considered identical at SP > 75%. Both groups had only one module in the 20% and 80% time points of the trial. At the 20% time point of the 2000 m rowing trial, the SP of the module was 99.8%. At the 80% time point, t…[Lees meer]

Several speech models have been formed in the past aiming to predict the abilities of nonnative listeners or learners in perceiving and producing speech sounds. The present paper proposes a new model for speech perception, the Universal Perceptual Model of Second Language (henceforth, UPM). UPM assumes that second language phone acquisition is…[Lees meer]

The objective of this study was to optimize the production of CMCase by Bacillus licheniformis BCLLNF-01, a strain associated with the mucus of the zoanthid Palythoa caribaeorum (Cnidaria, Anthozoa). Production of total cellulase and CMCase was investigated in the supernatant, intracellular content and wall content. Cultivation was carried out in…[Lees meer]
