Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate whether healthcare expenditures (HCEs) differed depending on whether the patients left periodontal disease (PD) untreated, despite the need for treatment. Methods This study used public PD screening data from a municipality in Japan to identify adults aged ≥ 40 years who were found to require ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Subfossil insect communities from the Quartz Creek site provide a detailed record of both Late Pleistocene steppe–tundra and Holocene boreal forest ecosystems in central Yukon Territory, Canada. Fifteen Pleistocene assemblages (marine isotope stages [MIS] 4 to 2) are dominated by steppe–tundra and dry‐tundra taxa, particularly the weevils ...

Stimulated Forward Brillouin Scattering in Subwavelength Grating Silicon Membranes
Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.This work proposes a novel strategy to achieve large Brillouin scattering with independent control of the optical and mechanical modes using subwavelength silicon membranes. We experimentally demonstrate remarkably high Brillouin gain, resulting in an on/off Stokes gain of 3 dB and anti‐Stokes loss of 4 dB in a 6 mm‐long waveguide with 35 mW of on‐chip

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.An etchless lithium niobate (LN) metasurface with a slanted periodic TiO2 grating enables efficient and narrowband second‐harmonic generation (SHG) thanks to the light confinement in the LN film granted by quasi‐bound‐state‐in‐the‐continuum (q‐BIC) modes.

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objectives This retrospective study evaluated the clinical outcomes associated with a photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) protocol in patients with inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury following oral and maxillofacial surgery. The study specifically investigated whether the etiology of paresthesia, the time elapsed before treatment initiation ...

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objectives Perforated appendicitis commonly results in intra‐abdominal infection requiring prolonged antibiotic therapy. Intraoperative antimicrobial adjuncts are limited, and photodynamic therapy (PDT) may provide a targeted, resistance‐independent approach.

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Opioid use disorder (OUD) remains a major global health challenge, and currently approved treatments (methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone) are all opioid receptor‐targeting drugs with limitations in access, adherence, stigma, and use in polysubstance use disorders. Because the dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) is enriched in limbic brain regions

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Thermal Aging and Tribological Tests of Additive Manufactured PLA Composites. ABSTRACT This study focuses on the additive manufacturing of pure polylactic acid (PLA) specimens and milled glass fiber (GF)‐filled PLA composites under thermal cycling aging and wear tests. Wear tracks have been analyzed via 3D optical profiling and SEM imaging.
