Color matching may be the only parameter of treatment with which the patient is concerned. Failure to match the proper color of the teeth may lead to failure of mechanically and biologically successful restoration. Up to 80% of the patients expressed their dissatisfaction with the perceived color of their dental restorations. Thus, proper color reproduction is considered to be one of the most complex and frustrating problems in restorative dentistry.

Polymerisation shrinkage is another serious problem that causes entrapment of stresses that may shorten the clinical life of the restoration. In an effort to reduce this, resin composite is placed in increments as each increment compensate for the previous one. These increments are usually 2 mm each to allow the penetration of curing light. As the resin shade is darker and the filler size is larger, the curing depth will be more limited. So no doubt that the more translucent is the shade of the resin, the higher is the depth of cure. It is noted that, incremental placement is a tedious, time consuming and a very sensitive technique. Improper placement may result in air bubble entrapment or porosity that may result in a weak restoration.

The bulk-fill resin composites specifically designed for large posterior restorations. They represent a new era in direct filling technology and a paradigm shift away from the traditional 2 mm increment system. Bulk-fill resin composite are possible to be cured in a depth of 3.5 to 5.5 mm. This reduces effort and time of the procedure and guarantees a solution for the polymerization shrinkage problem. It is important to note that bulk-fill materials do not constitute a uniform class of materials, they have different consistencies sculptable and flowable. Also some companies produce a translucent shade that should match almost all teeth color as they claim. This is called blending effect where the material can take the shade of the surrounding tooth structure and thus guarantee a solution for color matching problem.

Also there is a deficiency in literature that compares the blending effect and color matching of translucent shade bulk-fill resin composite with shaded bulk-fill resin composite. So in this research we will assess the effect of shaded bulk-fill resin composites against the translucent shade bulk-fill resin composite in-vivo and ex-vivo by spectrophotometer and visual inspection.
OBJECTIVE: CT scans combined with Mimics software were used to measure femoral offset (FO), rotation center height (RCH) and lower leg length discrepancy (LLD) following total hip arthroplasty (THA), and the relationship between FO, RCH and LLD after THA is discussed.
METHODS: Retrospective analysis was performed on 40 patients with unilateral THA who met standard cases from October 2020 to June 2022. There were 21 males and 19 females, 18 patients on the left side and 22 patients on the right side, aged range from 30 to 81 years old, with an average age of (58.90 ±14.13) years old, BMI ranged from 17.3 to 31.5 kg·m-2 with an average of (25.3±3.4) kg·m-2. There were 30 cases of femoral head necrosis (Ficat type Ⅳ), 2 cases of hip osteoarthritis (Tönnis type Ⅲ), 2 cases of developmental hip dislocation combined with end-stage osteoarthritis (Crowe type Ⅲ), and 6 cases of femoral neck fracture (Garden type Ⅳ). Three-dimensional CT reconstruction of pelvis was taken preoperative and postoperative, and three-dimensional reconstruction model was established after processing by Mimics software. FO, RCH and LLD were measured on the model. The criteria for FO reconstruction were as follows:postoperative bilateral FO difference less than 5 mm;the standard for equal length of both lower limbs was as follows:postoperative LLD difference less than 5 mm.
RESULTS: Bilateral FO difference was positively correlated with LLD (r=0.744, P<0.001). Chi-square test was performed between the FO reconstructed group and the non-reconstructed eccentricity group:The results showed that the isometric ratio of lower limbs in the FO reconstructed group was significantly higher than that in the FO reconstructed group (χ2=6.320, P=0.012). The bilateral RCH difference was significantly negatively correlated with LLD(r=-0.877, P<0.001). There is a linear relationship between bilateral FO difference and bilateral RCH difference and postoperative LLD, and the linear regression equation is satisfied:postoperative LLD=0.038x-0.099y+0.257(x:postoperative bilateral FO difference, y:postoperative bilateral RCH difference; Unit:cm), F=77.993, R2=0.808, P=0.009.
CONCLUSION: After THA, LLD increased with the increase of FO and decreased with the increase of RCH. The effect of lower limb isometric length can be obtained more easily by reconstruction of FO. There is a linear relationship between the bilateral FO difference and the bilateral RCH difference after THA and LLD, and the regression equation can provide a theoretical reference for judging LLD.

Knee pain, often caused by osteoarthritis, is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder among older adults and significantly reduces physical function and quality of life. Exercise therapy has been shown to be an effective form of treatment for knee pain. However, the traditional delivery of exercise therapy requires that individuals attend clinics to participate in face-to-face exercise sessions, which can be expensive and inconvenient. In recent years, information technologies have been used to support the delivery of exercise programs. The programs have also shown great benefits in improving the management of knee pain. However, it remains a concern that physical therapists are not able to provide the patients with direct and immediate supervision when exercises are taken place remotely at home or in community centers, which can be detrimental to exercise performance and the management of knee pain.

Thus, the research team has developed a machine learning-based exercise training system to provide evidence-based lower limb exercise videos, real-time movement feedback, and tracking of exercise progress for older adults with knee pain. In this study, a proof-of-concept randomized controlled trial will be conducted to examine the effects of the machine learning-based exercise training system, comparing with the effects of video-based exercise training system (providing exercise videos alone but no real-time movement feedback or tracking of exercise progress) and effects of usual care.
There is currently minimal data to guide treatment of mild graft damage in kidney transplant patients. Some of the current therapies used often come with dangerous complications (infections, malignancies, etc.). This is a pilot study to determine if extended release Envarsus at an optimal level is just as effective as more invasive standard therapies for subclinical (mild) AMR (antibody mediated rejection) in kidney transplant patients. The subjects will be randomized to either conversion from their current tacrolimus regimen to Envarsus XR (a once a day, extended release version of tacrolimus); or, to a regimen of 5 plasma exchanges/IVIG (intravenous immunoglobulin) treatments and one treatment with rituximab. Subjects who are within their first year of transplant will visit their doctor monthly for regular tests and checks and then will have a kidney biopsy at 6 months. Subjects who had their transplant over a year prior will see the doctor for tests and checks at 1, 3 and 5 months and then will have a biopsy of the kidney at month 6.

To execute reading processing and display processing according to an operation of a user when reading a plurality of medical images.SOLUTION: A medical image display device according to an embodiment includes a reading unit, a first reception unit, a second reception unit, a processing unit, and a display control unit. The reading unit sequentially reads medical images from a data storage unit. The first reception unit receives a current position of a medical image displayed in a display. The second reception unit receives an input operation from a user. The processing unit processes an input operation to determine whether an input operation is a first type or a second type and to determine the position of a moving destination. The display control unit performs a first display operation based on the position of a moving destination when the input operation is the first type, and performs a second display operation based on the position of a moving destination when the input operation is the second type. The moving destination shown by the first type of input operation is more distant from a current position than the moving destination shown by the second type of input operation.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
Alcohol misuse negatively affects relationships and is significantly correlated with higher rates of relationship conflict, distress, and dissolution as well as other serious negative interpersonal consequences (e.g., domestic violence, sexual assaults). Encouragement from concerned partners (CPs) is a common motivator for those who misuse alcohol to pursue care and often the most helpful mechanism in supporting change. The goals of this proposal are to: Identify how specific CP behaviors influence their partner's alcohol craving, motives, drinking, and problems on a daily basis using dyadic ecological momentary assessment techniques (Aim 1); use the knowledge from EMA analysis to iteratively develop a CP-focused web-based intervention (WBI) that provides psychoeducation about communication patterns that influence DP drinking and by integrating personalized feedback about CPs' own communication behaviors that may be working against their goals (Aim 2); and pilot the WBI's efficacy on CP outcomes (depression, anxiety, social support), their partner's drinking behavior (alcohol consumption, motives, related consequences), and both partners' relationship distress and conflict (Aim 3). The investigators expect the WBI will yield significant improvements in all outcomes. This project is significant because intervening with CPs has strong potential to change relationship dynamics that may reduce problems and prevent future problems associated with alcohol misuse. It also develops a new prevention model that does not rely on the drinking partner attending a clinical facility to access care. The proposed study is innovative because it uses dyadic and ecological momentary assessment designs to test dynamic questions about interdependence in relationship interactions and alcohol use between partners and employs the generated knowledge to inform intervention adaptation. Teaching CPs to effectively communicate their concerns may be a necessary catalyst for decreasing their partner's alcohol use and preventing alcohol use disorders. The potential reach of this intervention is large such that it can be easily implemented over the web to those who may need help but would not otherwise seek care.
The invention relates to a health-care bellyband and provides a health-care bellyband for preventing and curing diarrhea. The summer and the autumn are seasons when diarrhea frequently occurs for babies. The diarrhea severely affects physical health of the babies and also affects working and learning of young parents. According to the technical scheme, an insertion bag is arranged in the navel portion of the health-care bellyband, and a traditional Chinese medicine bag is inserted in the insertion bag. The health-care bellyband is characterized in that the traditional Chinese medicine bag contains 28g-35g of sarcandra glabra, 25g-32g of sticktight, 25g-35g of hawthorns, 18g-25g of Codonopsis pilosula, 18g-22g of white atractylodes rhizome, 12g-16g of Poria cocos and 12g-16g of Chinese yam are contained. The babies can wear the health-care bellyband for a long time, and then the occurrence frequency of diarrhea can be obviously reduced.
UNLABELLED: Genome instability is a hallmark of cancer crucial for tumor heterogeneity and is often a result of defects in cell division and DNA damage repair. Tumors tolerate genomic instability, but the accumulation of genetic aberrations is regulated to avoid catastrophic chromosomal alterations and cell death. In ovarian cancer tumors, claudin-4 is frequently upregulated and closely associated with genome instability and worse patient outcomes. However, its biological association with regulating genomic instability is poorly understood. Here, we used CRISPR interference and a claudin mimic peptide to modulate the claudin-4 expression and its function in vitro and in vivo. We found that claudin-4 promotes a tolerance mechanism for genomic instability through micronuclei generation in tumor cells. Disruption of claudin-4 increased autophagy and was associated with the engulfment of cytoplasm-localized DNA. Mechanistically, we observed that claudin-4 establishes a biological axis with the amino acid transporters SLC1A5 and LAT1, which regulate autophagy upstream of mTOR. Furthermore, the claudin-4/SLC1A5/LAT1 axis was linked to the transport of amino acids across the plasma membrane as one of the potential cellular processes that significantly decreased survival in ovarian cancer patients. Together, our results show that the upregulation of claudin-4 contributes to increasing the threshold of tolerance for genomic instability in ovarian tumor cells by limiting its accumulation through autophagy.
SIGNIFICANCE: Autophagy regulation via claudin-4/SLC1A5/LAT1 has the potential to be a targetable mechanism to interfere with genomic instability in ovarian tumor cells.
Food allergy incidence increases world wide. The diagnosis mostly depends on history. Skin prick test and atopic patch test are useful in finding the causative foods in some cases. The local food extracts have been shown to be at least as effective as commercial ones. From previous study the investigators keep the extract at 2-8 degree Celsius for 1-3 months for the usage. The investigators want to evaluate the duration that the extracts are still useful in diagnosis food allergy
BACKGROUND: The incidence of unplanned emergency department (ED) visits following revision total joint arthroplasty is an indicator of the quality of postoperative care. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidences, timings, and characteristics of ED visits within 90 days after revision total joint arthroplasty.
METHODS: A retrospective review of 457 consecutive cases, including 254 revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA) and 203 revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) cases, was conducted. Data regarding patient demographics, timings of the ED encounter, chief complaints, readmissions, and diagnoses indicating reoperation were analyzed.
RESULTS: The results showed that 41 patients who had rTHA (16.1%) and 14 patients who had rTKA (6.9%) returned to the ED within 90 days postoperatively. The incidence of ED visits was significantly higher in the rTHA group than in the rTKA group (P = .003). The most common surgery-related complications were dislocation among rTHA patients and wound conditions among rTKA patients. Apart from elevated calculated comorbidity scores, peptic ulcer in rTHA patients and cerebral vascular events and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in rTKA patients might increase chances of unplanned ED visits. Patients who had ED visits showed significantly higher mortality rates than the others in both rTHA and rTKA cohorts (P = .050 and P = .008, respectively).
CONCLUSIONS: The ED visits within 90 days are more common after rTHA than after rTKA. Patients in both ED visit groups after rTHA and rTKA demonstrated worse survival. Efforts should be made to improve quality of care to prevent ED visits.
Preventing or slowing age-related decline in musculoskeletal function is important for maintaining mobility and independence. In the US, osteoarthritis (OA) is the primary cause of disability in adults, with no medical or surgical therapeutic intervention known to restore the degenerated cartilage. The loss of skeletal muscle mass and function with age, is also linked to increased risk of other diseases, risk of falls, and decreased quality of life. Therefore, OA and muscle loss together are primary contributors to age-related decreases in mobility and independence. Evidence suggests a decrease in muscle quality is associated with or precedes primary knee OA, suggesting that these two conditions may share a common cause. We will treat 50-65 year old people with mild or moderate OA in both knees, and reported loss of muscle strength, with a supplement already available for use in humans to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation. The supplement is called PB125. In this pilot clinical trial, we will measure the ability of muscle to make energy, measure mobility (walking and standing) and strength, and assess pain following PB125 or placebo treatment.
Advancements in food science technology have allowed the development of new products for the therapeutic management of inherited metabolic diseases such as phenylketonuria (PKU). Glycomacropeptide (GMP), a peptide derived from casein, is naturally low in phenylalanine (Phe) and, thus, adequate for protein substitutes (PSs) for the management of PKU in children. This review aims primarily to analyse the differences in the nutritional composition of GMP-based protein substitutes in different formulations (ready to drink, powdered, and bars), and secondarily to assess the quality of these products, comparing their nutritional composition with that of standard amino acid (L-AA) mixtures. Thirty-five GMP-based PSs produced by six different companies were included in this review: twenty-one powdered PSs, eight ready to drink, and six bars. The analysis revealed great heterogeneity not only among the different formulations (powdered, ready to drink, and bars) but also within the same group, in terms of energy content and nutritional composition. GMP-based PSs were shown to have higher contents of sugars and saturated fatty acids compared to L-AA PSs, especially in ready-to-drink formulations and bars. The latter also provided the highest amounts of energy among the GMP-based products. This finding may be related to a higher risk of developing overweight and obesity. The greater palatability of these GMP-based PSs, combined with improved nutritional quality, could not only improve adherence to diet therapy but also reduce the incidence of obesity-related comorbidities in PKU.
Toxicity from hydrocodone poisoning includes the opioid triad of loss of consciousness, pinpoint pupils, and respiratory depression (Cheyne-Stokes respiration, cyanosis, decrease in respiratory rate and/or tidal volume). Convulsions may occur. 

The toxic dose of acetaminophen for adults is 10 grams. In adults, hepatic toxicity has rarely been reported with acute overdoses of less than 10 grams, or fatalities with less than 15 grams. 

Early symptoms following a potentially hepatotoxic overdose of acetaminophen may include diaphoresis, general malaise, nausea, and vomiting. Clinical and laboratory evidence of hepatic toxicity may not be apparent until 48 to 72 hours post-ingestion. 

Other signs and symptoms of overdose of this product include bradycardia, cold and clammy skin, extreme somnolence progressing to stupor or coma, hypoglycemic coma, hypotension, renal tubular necrosis, skeletal muscle flaccidity, thrombocytopenia. 

In severe overdosage, apnea; circulatory collapse; cardiac arrest; dose-dependent, potentially fatal hepatic necrosis; and death may occur.
Contact lens discomfort (CLD) is the most common cause of discontinuing contact lens wear. Despite years of research and innovations in technology, CLD remains highly prevalent, and thus it is a major concern for patients and practitioners. Studies suggest that meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a cause of CLD. Several lipid-based artificial tears have recently been designed to address dry eye associated with MGD. In this study, the investigators examine if the benefits of lipid based artificial tears extend to improving contact lens comfort. Studies have demonstrated some usefulness of non-lipid based tear supplements in the management of contact lens discomfort. However, the relief was moderate and short-term. To date, no study has examined the impact of lipid based artificial tears on contact lens discomfort. In this study, the investigators will address this gap in knowledge.
Administration of amoxicillin-clavulanate as standard care therapy (4x or 6x 1g/d). Blood sampling in early and steady state dose (up to 5 samplings per dose). Collection of hemocultures, urine samples and sputum samples when possible.
