Quantitative micro‐XRF combined with X‐ray imaging reveals correlations between Zn concentration and dentin tubule porosity across entire teeth

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
The combination of calibrated micro‐CT and quantitative micro‐XRF measurement facilitates the correlation of density and composition in the 3D macro‐structure of teeth. Zn concentration in dentin increases by a factor of 10 toward the pulp. Incidentally, the overall density decreases, showing an association between Zn and the dentin tissue porosity ...

Body Size Regulates Niche Overlap Asymmetry in the Subtropical Andes Rain Shadow: Isotopic Paleoecology of Oligocene South American Ungulates

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first isotopic analysis of Oligocene mammals from Quebrada Fiera, Mendoza, Argentina, filling a major gap in South American paleontology. It reveals a latitudinal gradient in aridity due to the Andean rain shadow and highlights the role of (semi)permanent water bodies in sustaining diverse herbivore communities. Additionally, it

Chemical Stability and Bond Strength of Endodontic Sealers Exposed to Acidic, Alkaline and Protein‐Rich Environments: An In Vitro Investigation

open access: yesAustralian Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The sealing performance of endodontic sealers may be influenced by environmental factors such as pH and blood‐derived proteins. This in vitro study evaluated the effects of pH variation and protein contamination on calcium ion (Ca2+) release and push‐out bond strength (BS) of a calcium silicate‐based sealer (Bio‐C Sealer) and an epoxy resin ...

Influence of Drying Protocol on the Setting and Crystalline Phase Formation of Calcium Silicate‐Based Sealers

open access: yesAustralian Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to assess the hydration, crystalline structure, and setting of bioceramic ready‐to‐use and powder/liquid sealers in dry and wet root canal dentine. Thirty‐two single‐rooted human teeth were embedded in acrylic resin and sectioned into 2‐mm segments.

In Vitro Calcification of Bioprosthetic Heart Valves: Method Validation by Comparative Heart Valve Calcification Testing

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
We have developed a unique method for pre‐clinical heart valve prostheses evaluation of calcification propensity. Results from the test can directly be translated into improvements of prostheses design, materials, and anti‐calcification treatments, and therefore have a significant impact on heart valve prostheses quality and patient care in the future.

Investigating relationships among strontium, barium, and seasonality in wild baboons

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Geochemical profiles of Australopithecus africanus and baboon teeth show fluctuating trace elements, possibly reflecting seasonal diets. Here we use laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometric measurements of calcium‐normalized strontium and barium ratios (Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca) and ion microprobe analyses of oxygen isotopes (δ18O ...
