Periodontal and orthodontic management of impacted canines
Abstract The maxillary and mandibular canines are described by many clinicians as the “cornerstone” of the arch. When in their optimal position, they play a critical role in providing a well‐balanced occlusal scheme that contributes toward functional as well as neuromuscular stability, harmony, esthetics, and dentofacial balance.

Computer-Aided Design of Personalized Occlusal Positioning Splints Using Multimodal 3D Data [PDF]
Contemporary digital technology has a pivotal role in the design of customized medical appliances, including occlusal splints used in the treatment of stomatognathic system dysfunctions. We present an approach to computer-aided design and precision assessment of positioning occlusal splints, bridging clinical concepts with current digital dental ...

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

Fairness Under Cover: Evaluating the Impact of Occlusions on Demographic Bias in Facial Recognition [PDF]
This study investigates the effects of occlusions on the fairness of face recognition systems, particularly focusing on demographic biases. Using the Racial Faces in the Wild (RFW) dataset and synthetically added realistic occlusions, we evaluate their effect on the performance of face recognition models trained on the BUPT-Balanced and BUPT-GlobalFace

Design of quantum correlation based automatic focus detection system during dental laser operation [PDF]
Dental laser has been developed recently and gradually replaced the conventional dental treatment methods, especially in dental caries removal. The utility of laser in dentistry contributes to reduce the pain during surgery and decrease the risk of sequelae after surgery.

Cell‐Type Specific Circuits in the Mammillary Body for Place and Object Recognition Memory
Li et al. defined two novel glutamatergic neuronal subtypes in the medial mammillary nucleus, pars lateralis‐located parvalbumin (PV) neurons, and basalis‐located Drd2 neurons. PV and Drd2 neurons differ in their electrophysiological properties encoded by Kcnn4 and Cacna1h, and selectively modulate place and object recognition memory by two distinct ...

Impact of fetal treatments for congenital diaphragmatic hernia on lung development
Abstract The extent of lung hypoplasia impacts the survival and severity of morbidities associated with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The alveoli of CDH infants and in experimental models of CDH have thickened septa with fewer type II pneumocytes and capillaries. Fetal treatments of CDH‐risk preterm birth.

ToF-SIMS Investigations on Dental Implant Materials and Adsorbed Protein Films [PDF]
In this work the two experimental dental implant materials FAT and FAW, made of fluoroapatite particles embedded in polymer matrices, and films of the proteins lysozyme, amylase and bovine serum albumin (BSA), adsorbed to the two dental implant materials, were investigated with time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and the ...
