Clinical periodontal diagnosis
Abstract Periodontal diseases include pathological conditions elicited by the presence of bacterial biofilms leading to a host response. In the diagnostic process, clinical signs such as bleeding on probing, development of periodontal pockets and gingival recessions, furcation involvement and presence of radiographic bone loss should be assessed prior ...

Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

Genome-resolved year-round dynamics reveal a broad range of giant virus microdiversity
Giant viruses are crucial for marine ecosystem dynamics because they regulate microeukaryotic community structure, accelerate carbon and nutrient cycles, and drive the evolution of their hosts through co-evolutionary processes.

Eagle's Syndrome Presenting With Peripheral Facial Palsy—A Case Report
ABSTRACT Background Eagle's syndrome is a condition caused by an elongated styloid process and is characterized by various symptoms such as cervicofacial pain, foreign body sensation, headache, odynophagia, and otalgia. However, the occurrence of a unilateral peripheral facial palsy as a symptom of Eagle's syndrome has been described only rarely ...

Molecular biology of giant viruses' DNA replication machinery
Viruses are the most widespread and abundant entity on this planet, further constituting the largest part of the genosphere. The majority of these infectious agents are miniature, having been described as being smaller than the smallest bacteria.

Replication strategies of newly discovered giant viruses of amoebas [PDF]
Giant viruses are a group of viruses with genome composed of double-stranded DNA molecule. They are characterized by the creation of giant viral particles, the size of which varies between 150-1500 nm. Also, their genomes are huge reaching sizes of up to
