New PMCT multi‐indicator ossification standards for age estimation of the knee in modern Australian and North American children

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Skeletal age estimation is crucial to medicolegal work, aiding subadult identification, and living age assessments in legal contexts. This study aims to document the ontogeny of knee skeletal indicators on post‐mortem computed tomography (PMCT), and quantify interpopulation variation between modern American and Australian children.

Comparative Genomics and Functional Evidence for Convergent Adaptation to Hypoxia in Mammals

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study reveals convergent selection in mammals adapted to hypoxia. Functional assays demonstrate that amino acid mutations reduce oxidative stress, attenuate hypoxia‐induced injury, and modulate the hypoxia‐inducible transcription factor (HIF)‐driven hypoxic response.

Surface Physical and Mechanical Properties of Short Fibre Reinforced Composite Resins in Direct Restorative Dentistry: A Systematic Review

Australian Dental Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Short Fibre Reinforced Composite resins may be used to restore odontogenic tissues and have enhanced physical and mechanical properties compared with conventional resins. However, their surface characteristics remain a concern, and this has limited their use as direct dental restorative materials.

Low‐Concentration Mineralization‐Promoting Peptide‐3–Containing Slurries Compared With Casein Phosphopeptide–Amorphous Calcium Phosphate on Demineralized Permanent Enamel: An Exploratory Ex Vivo Study

Australian Dental Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Casein phosphopeptide–amorphous calcium phosphate is a biomimetic remineralizing agent but is unsuitable for individuals with a milk‐protein allergy. This exploratory ex vivo study compared low‐concentration slurries containing mineralization‐promoting peptide‐3, sodium fluoride plus mineralization‐promoting peptide‐3, vehicle cream

Sodium Diclofenac‐Loaded Drug Delivery Microspheres: Impact on Calcium Hydroxide Paste Properties and Biological Response

Australian Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated whether the incorporation of sodium diclofenac‐loaded microspheres into a calcium hydroxide paste enhances antibiofilm activity while maintaining physicochemical properties and biocompatibility. Calcium hydroxide paste, calcium hydroxide combined with sodium diclofenac, and calcium hydroxide containing sodium diclofenac ...

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

Archaeometry, 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 ...

Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

Economic Evaluation of the RETURN Intervention to Increase Routine Dental Attendance Among Disadvantaged Adults: Net Health Benefit (QALYs) and Patient Cost Outcomes From a Randomised Controlled Trial

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Routine dental attendance is associated with better health outcomes, yet those from disadvantaged backgrounds are more likely to seek problem‐driven, episodic care. The RETURN intervention, a brief behavioural intervention delivered by dental nurses in urgent care, was designed to support urgent care users to take up planned dental ...
