Implant‑position reproducibility of wired and wireless intraoral scanners and the effects of Wi‑Fi distance and upload speed: an in vitro study [PDF]
Background The impact of wireless communication on intraoral scanning reproducibility remains unclear. This in‑vitro study aimed to compare the implant‑position reproducibility of wireless (Wi‑Fi) and wired intraoral scanners using a mandibular ...

Best Practice PD-L1 Staining and Interpretation in Gastric Cancer Using PD-L1 IHC PharmDx 22C3 and PD-L1 IHC PharmDx 28-8 Assays, with Reference to Common Issues and Solutions [PDF]
Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) biomarker testing in gastric cancer is required to identify patients suitable for immunotherapy. However, the PD-L1 testing landscape is complex, with various PD-L1 tests available and multiple algorithms that combine ...

Classical knot and link concordance
In an earlier paper, the author combined the knot concordance invariants of Levine with those of Casson-Gordon by considering the homology of the 2-fold branched cyclic cover. This approach is generalized in the present paper by simultaneously considering all the \(q\)-fold branched cyclic covers for \(q\) a prime power.

Link concordance and algebraic closure, II
This is the sequel to Part I reviewed above (see Zbl 0692.57009). The author defines a group G to be algebraically closed (AC) if each finite system of equations \(x_ i=w_ i\in G*F(x_ 1,...,x_ n)\), where each \(w_ i\) is a product of conjugates of elements of G, has a unique solution in G.

Link concordance invariants and homotopy theory
This paper is concerned with the link invariants defined by K. Orr for codimension two links in the \((n+2)\)-sphere. It is shown here that for spherical links almost all of these invariants vanish if \(n>1\), and that for \(n=1\) they are zero if and only if Milnor's \({\bar \mu}\)-invariants vanish (a result which the author points out was obtained ...

The Casson-Gordon invariant and link concordance
A theory of Casson-Gordon invariants for smooth links in \(S^{2n + 1}\), \(n \geq 1\), is developed. First the invariant \(\tau\) is defined for a knot \(S^{2n-1}\) in \(S^{2n + 1}\) using \(q\)-fold covers, \(q\) a prime power. This is applied to a certain family of links which are shown to be not concordant to boundary links.

Link concordance invariants and Massey products
Let \({\mathcal L}=(K,L)\) be a codimension-2 link in \(S^ n\), i.e. \(K\) and \(L\) are disjoint oriented \((n-2)\)-dimensional submanifolds of the \(n\)- sphere, \(n\geq 3\). If \({\mathcal L}\) is ``\(j\)-admissible'' (i.e. under certain assumptions related to the intersection behaviour of Seifert surfaces) the author defines \(j\) link concordance ...
