AbstractWorldwide, the study and examination of human remains and the circumstances of their acquisition for anatomical collection have received great interest. As part of provenance research projects, a large number of collections are being investigated to determine whether the human remains have been acquired in a correct or unlawful way because the people could have been killed in order to be used as “anthropological objects” for research purposes and to become so-called “specimens”. These topics have also been addressed by the Institute of Anatomy at the University Medical Center Rostock. The role of radiology in this interdisciplinary project will be presented using selected examples.The anatomical collection at the University of Rostock includes 40 human skulls, 14 plaster casts, 6 Egyptian mummy heads, and 1 full-body mummy. In addition to the examination by a historian, an anthropologist, and forensic pathologists, additional computed tomography was carried out on nine skulls and the full-body mummy. Micro-computed tomography was also carried out on seven skulls in order to enable a look behind the mummification material and tissue remains.(Micro-)computed tomography was able to close diagnostic gaps and the results presented some rather unexpected findings.Due to interdisciplinary collaboration, individual fates could be determined, which provided information about the individual’s life and death circumstances. None of the examined individuals showed evidence of colonial-era injustice or the use of violence that would have led to their inclusion in the collection. (Micro-)computed tomography was a valuable addition to this provenance research project.

AbstractA retrospective case–control study was performed to characterize the rate of missed follow-up appointments after facial trauma and identify associated risk factors.Follow-up appointments for facial trauma over a 3-month period at a single, safety net hospital were analyzed. Appointment-specific, sociodemographic, trauma, and management data were compared between cases (missed appointments) and controls (attended appointments). Univariate testing and multivariable logistic regression were employed.A total of 116 cases and 259 controls were identified, yielding a missed appointment rate of 30.9% (116/375). Missed appointments were significantly associated with initial clinic appointments compared to return visits (odds ratio [OR] 2.21 [1.38–3.54]), afternoon visits compared to morning (OR 3.14 [1.94–5.07]), lack of private health insurance (OR 2.91 [1.68–5.18]), and presence of midface fractures (OR 2.04 [1.28–3.27]). Missed appointments were negatively associated with mandible fractures (OR 0.56 [0.35–0.89]), surgical management (OR 0.48 [0.30–0.77]), and the presence of nonremovable hardware (OR 0.39 [0.23–0.64]). Upon multivariable logistic regression, missed appointments remained independently associated with afternoon visits (adjusted OR [aOR] 1.95 [1.12–3.4]), lack of private health insurance (aOR 2.73 [1.55–4.8]), and midface fractures (aOR 2.09 [1.21–3.59]).Nearly one-third of facial trauma patients missed follow-up appointments, with the greatest risk among those with afternoon appointments, lacking private health insurance, and with midface fractures.

AbstractPalladium nanoparticles are dispersed and stabilized in organically modified silicate (Pd@MTES), and characterized by a number of spectroscopic techniques, including FTIR, TEM, SEM, and XPS. The catalytic effect of this material toward the hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones is explored, and the scope of the reaction investigated, with 26 examples provided. This reaction proceeds under neat conditions via heterogeneous catalysis, and a mechanistic pathway supported by DFT calculations is proposed.

Published: May 2024

AbstractPhotobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) is a non-invasive and the latest form of therapy used in the treatment of non oncological diseases as well as cancers of various types and locations. The aim of this study was to systematically review and assess the efficacy of PBMT in managing oral lichen planus (OLP) compared to the interventions. A systematic review and meta-analysis were implemented according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. An electronic search using PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane was conducted to retrieve relevant studies published until June 2023. The outcomes evaluated included the reduction in pain score and clinical severity scores (Prospero No CRD42023428626). A total of eight studies were identified for qualitative synthesis. The pooled analysis incorporating six studies revealed that there are no significant differences for both mean pain score (mean difference [MD] = 0.21, 95% confidence interval [CI] = −0.51, 0.93) as well as clinical score (MD = −0.08, 95% CI = −0.4, 0.25) between PBMT and comparison groups. Subgroup analysis based on corticosteroids as controls showed that there was no significant difference in mean reduction in pain score between PBMT and topical steroids (MD = 0.38, 95% CI = −0.54, 1.31). PBMT is as effective as other interventions in the treatment of OLP, though not superior, and can be a promising alternative treatment for cases resistant to steroids or when steroids are contraindicated. Further studies are recommended to standardize the optimal settings for the treatment of OLP.

Authors: Kzar Wael Abdulazeez , Abbas Raghad Fadhil 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Objective This investigation aims to investigate the association between HIF-1α genetic polymorphism and periodontitis and examine and contrast the levels of HIF-1α present in the saliva of subjects afflicted with periodontitis and in the control group. Additionally, this study aims to establish diagnostic proficiency of this biomarker in distinguishing between periodontal health and disease.
Materials and Methods This study entailed the collection of venous blood samples and unstimulated saliva samples from a total of 160 participants, encompassing 80 individuals diagnosed with periodontitis and 80 periodontitis-free individuals. The periodontal parameters were evaluated, involving the measurement of clinical attachment loss, the probing pocket depth, and the bleeding on probing percentage. Subsequently, genetic analysis of HIF-1α using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, DNA sequencing, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays was conducted.
Results The genetic analysis of 352 bp of the HIF-1α gene revealed the presence of 66 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in control samples, whereas 78 SNPs were found in periodontitis sample. The nucleotide A was replaced with a C nucleotide at position 207 of the amplified PCR fragments. The homozygous AA pattern was predominant in the control group, with significant differences between the two groups. In contrast, the homozygous CC pattern was more dominant in the periodontitis group, with significant differences between the two groups. The analysis of Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium for the comparison between the observed and the expected genotypes showed significant differences between the observed and the expected values in the control and periodontitis groups, as well as the total sample. The highest mean values of the measured periodontal parameters were found in the periodontitis group (clinical attachment loss = 4.759, probing pocket depth = 4.050, and bleeding on probing = 30.950) with statistically significant differences between the groups. The periodontitis group showed significantly higher salivary HIF-1α levels compared to control group (p < 0.001). Besides, HIF-1α is a good biomarker in distinguishing between periodontal health and periodontitis.
Conclusion rs1951795 SNP of HIF-1α has no significant impact on the progression of periodontitis and the salivary level HIF-1α. Periodontitis results in a notable elevation in HIF-1α salivary levels, with an outstanding diagnostic ability to distinguish between periodontitis and periodontal health.

Abstract
Objectives Due to the lack of literature concerning the selection of crown materials for the restoration of anterior teeth, this study aimed to investigate the effects of six distinct computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) crown materials on stress and strain distribution within implant-supported maxillary central incisor restorations, employing finite element analysis (FEA). Furthermore, a comparative analysis was conducted between models that incorporated adjacent natural teeth and those that did not, intending to guide the selection of the most suitable modeling approach.
Materials and Methods Crown materials, including Lava Ultimate, Enamic, Emax CAD, Suprinity, Celtra Duo, and Cercon xt ML, were the subjects of the investigation. FEA models incorporating Coulomb friction were developed. These models were subjected to an oblique load, simulating the average maximum bite force experienced by anterior teeth. The potential for failure in titanium implant components and the prosthesis crown was evaluated through von Mises and principal stress, respectively. Furthermore, the failure of crestal bone was assessed through principal strain values.
Statistical Analysis Stress values for each implant component and strain values of the bone were extracted from the models. To assess the impact of the six groups of crown materials, Kruskal–Wallis analysis of variance and post-hoc comparisons were conducted. Additionally, a statistical comparison between the two groups with Lava Ultimate and Cercon xt ML was performed using the Mann–Whitney U test to determine the difference in the two modeling approaches.
Results Higher crown material stiffness led to decreased stress in the abutment, fixture, and retaining screw, along with reduced strain in the surrounding bone. However, the decrease in stress and strain values became less significant with increasing crown stiffness. Additionally, the model with adjacent teeth showed significantly lower stress and strain concentrations compared to the model without adjacent teeth.
Conclusion Crowns with a high elastic modulus were the optimal choice for anterior teeth restoration. Constructing FEA models with adjacent teeth was highly recommended to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanical behavior of dental implant restorations.

AbstractThis case report addresses the treatment of excessive gingival display (EGD) in the context of maxillary asymmetry, zenith irregularities, and occlusal plane inclination. Digital planning was pivotal in formulating a precise treatment strategy by incorporating facial photographs, digital models, and cone-beam computed tomography data. Parameters, including occlusal plane inclination, teeth position, and lip-to-gingival margin relationships, were considered to ensure treatment alignment with the patient's facial characteristics. Notably, during the planning phase, it was evident that the conventional approach using the cementoenamel junction as the apical limit for incisions would result in asymmetry. Consequently, the gingival margin position was defined in accordance with facial and lip features. The chosen treatment, flapless crown lengthening, was tailored to the patient's thin phenotype and guided by measurements derived from digital planning. Postsurgery, the patient experienced a swift and painless recovery. A harmonious smile with a stable gingival margin position was achieved at the 1-year follow-up, seamlessly complementing the patient's facial attributes. This case underscores the importance of personalized EGD treatment and the value of digital planning in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and precise treatment planning, ultimately facilitating optimal treatment strategies.

Published: May 2024

AbstractAn elderly diabetic gentleman developed epidural abscess several days after traumatic esophageal perforation secondary to flexion-extension injury of the cervical spine in a road traffic accident. The patient underwent high-resolution ultrasonography of the neck along with noncontrast computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine, which showed collection in soft tissue of the neck region along with epidural abscesses and osteophytes at multiple levels. However, due to the rarity of cervical esophageal perforation due to vertebral osteophytes, esophageal perforation was missed and was only diagnosed during the second admission of the patient, about 1 month later, when he presented with progressive quadriparesis. We present an extremely rare case of cervical esophageal perforation due to a flexion-extension injury.
Indigenous bodies, gender, and sexuality in the Jesuit Missions of South America (17th–18th centuries)
Authors: Baptista Jean Tiago , Boita Tony Willian 
Published: May 2024

AbstractMany studies tend to apply categories of gender and sexuality to indigenous peoples in the same way as they are used in the West. This ignores the fact that indigenous peoples have their own notions of people, which are often at odds with Western binary standards. The issue at stake in this article is the inclusion of the analytical categories of gender and sexuality in South American communities, starting with the Jesuit Missions that spread across present-day Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, and Uruguay during the 17th and 18th centuries. To this end, it uses as historical sources a set of 1212 Jesuit writings, including manuscripts and books, as well as architectural, sculptural, and pictorial remains. Using techniques specific to paleography to read manuscripts, the project’s methodology makes use of ethnohistory guided by Content Analysis, thus producing a reading that starts from contemporary indigenous problems in order to build an Indigenous History. The study’s discussion considers that indigenous bodies, once produced by village collectives made up of extended families, were forged in the Jesuit missions according to the parameters of the colonial project. The article therefore demonstrates the genealogy of the bodies of indigenous men, indigenous women, and abject indigenous people, concluding that the current scenario of gender and sexual violence in South America has its origins in the colonial process, and not in indigenous cultures.

Published: May 2024

This article presents a compact magnetic levitation energy harvester (MLEH) with tunable resonant frequency. Unlike many of the reported tunable harvesters with unknown tuning results, the proposed MLEH can be tuned toward designated resonant frequency values within its tuning range. The targeted tuning processes is realized by a nonlinear magnet repulsive force exerted on a Halbach magnet array, combined with a calibrated scaling system. At a sinusoidal acceleration of ±0.15 g, the maximum frequency tuning range of the proposed MLEH is 6.3 Hz (8.1–14.4 Hz), which is 77.8% of its resonant MLEH (8.1 Hz). At a frequency of 9.7 Hz, the output power is 462.1 μW and the calculated normalized power density is 496 μW cm−3 g−2.

We present measurements of the 2p-3d transition opacity of a hot molybdenum–scandium sample with nearly half-vacant molybdenum M-shell configurations. A plastic-tamped molybdenum–scandium foil sample is radiatively heated to high temperature in a compact D-shaped gold Hohlraum driven by ∼30 kJ laser energy at the SG-100 kJ laser facility. X rays transmitted through the molybdenum and scandium plasmas are diffracted by crystals and finally recorded by image plates. The electron temperatures in the sample in particular spatial and temporal zones are determined by the K-shell absorption of the scandium plasma. A combination of the IRAD3D view factor code and the MULTI hydrodynamic code is used to simulate the spatial distribution and temporal behavior of the sample temperature and density. The inferred temperature in the molybdenum plasma reaches a average of 138 ± 11 eV. A detailed configuration-accounting calculation of the n = 2–3 transition absorption of the molybdenum plasma is compared with experimental measurements and quite good agreement is found. The present measurements provide an opportunity to test opacity models for complicated M-shell configurations.

Abstract
Due to their unique properties, charge-generation layers (CGLs) have been used as interconnect layers for organic and quantum-dot light-emitting devices (LEDs) consisting of multiple emission units. Furthermore, CGLs have also been integrated into single-emission-unit LEDs and alternating-current LEDs. The charge-generation structures provide charge carriers (electrons and holes) to the devices under an external electric field, instead of charge injection from the electrodes. Therefore, there is no strict requirement for precise matching of energy levels between the electrodes and charge-injection layers. This affords greater flexibility for device design and enhances the efficiency and operational lifespan of devices. In this review, we summarize the development of charge-generation structures and discuss the existing challenges and opportunities. A particular focus is placed on the working mechanism of CGLs and their applications in various LEDs. Additionally, issues such as voltage drop in CGLs, charge generation efficiency, increased operating voltage for the devices, and optimizations of existing CGLs are discussed.

Abstract
Multiferroic composites, combining ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties, hold significant promise in today’s technology landscape in a diverse array of fields including information storage devices, energy harvesters, current and magnetic field sensors, tunable devices, and various other domains. Exploring the interaction between these materials and their impact on multiferroic properties is crucial for advancing miniaturized, high-performance devices. A deeper understanding of the interplay between ionic dynamics and microstructure is essential for engineering these composites effectively. This study examines the deterioration of the ferroelectric property of BaTiO3 composite with the incorporation of the magnetic BaFe12O19. The composite is synthesized using the conventional solid-state reaction method. Structural analysis involves x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and field-emission scanning electron microscopy. The dielectric and ferroelectric investigations, as well as magnetic analysis, are conducted. The study shows the existence of the electron hopping between different oxidation states of the cations and it elevates the material’s conductivity and, generates a leakage current that largely affects the ferroelectric properties by preventing saturation polarization.
An intelligent non-intrusive load monitoring model based on power encoding and convolutional state modules

Abstract
Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) identifies device power consumption or on/off states solely based on total power data, which is highly valuable for consumers to understand their appliance usage behavior and take necessary measures to reduce energy consumption, especially for the benefit of energy consumers’ living production. However, a challenge faced by NILM is the tendency to focus excessively on power disaggregation while neglecting the disaggregation of on/off states, leading to lower classification accuracy, particularly owning to imbalanced states. This study proposes a model that integrates the power and on/off states to simultaneously disaggregate the power and device on/off states. The model comprises two main modules: a power encoding module for power disaggregation, and a convolutional state module (CSM) for on/off state disaggregation. The power encoding module utilizes BERT-LSTM and long short-term memory networks for initial energy disaggregation. In contrast, the CSM employs convolutional neural networks for device state disaggregation. The output of the power-encoding module is multiplied by the probability of on/off states to obtain the final power. The proposed model is evaluated using the REDD and UK-DALE datasets. Compared to the baseline models, the results show an improvement in the device state classification average accuracy from 0.948 to 0.957, and a decrease in the average error between the real power and disaggregated power from 26.356 W to 25.108 W. Additionally, real-world experiments conducted using the designed platform for collecting and disaggregating power data achieve an average accuracy of 0.997. The proposed model demonstrates competitiveness in the NILM field and underscores its significance in aiding energy-consumption reduction efforts.
