Sexual dysfunction is highly prevalent in patients with active perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease: Outcomes from a large national prospective cohort study. [PDF]

open access: yesColorectal Dis
Abstract Background Sexual function is one of the determinants of quality of life (QoL) and is prevalent in approximately half of the patients with inflammatory bowel disease. However, the sexual function in patients with perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease (pCD) needs to be further elucidated.

Static and Dynamic Analysis of Porous Gas Bearings Lubricated With Air, Refrigerant R‐134a, Helium and Hydrogen

open access: yesLubrication Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Porous gas bearings (PGBs) enable high‐speed, oil‐free operation in modern rotating machinery. This study develops a coupled thermo‐hydrodynamic (THD) model for a cylindrical porous gas bearing lubricated with four working fluids—air, R‐134a, helium and hydrogen.

Investigating Crack Resistance Behavior of Polypropylene Using J integral, J‐R Curve and Fractographic Analysis

open access: yesFatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, the fracture response of polypropylene (PP) was assessed using J‐integral evaluation, J‐R curve construction, and fractography examination. J‐R and load–displacement curves were analyzed to determine critical loads and estimate J‐integral values based on standards established for polymer fracture testing, which led to the ...

Influence of degree of conversion on the cytotoxicity of 3D‐printed denture base resins. A scoping review

open access: yesJournal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Evidence regarding the cytotoxicity of 3D‐printed denture base resins and the role of degree of conversion remains limited and heterogeneous. Therefore, this scoping review aimed to map existing in vitro evidence and explore how degree of conversion and post‐processing factors are reported in relation to biological outcomes.
