Comparison of Ultrasonography, CBCT, Transgingival Probing, Colour-Coded and Periodontal Probe Transparency With Histological Gingival Thickness: A Diagnostic Accuracy Study Revisiting Thick Versus Thin Gingiva. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Aim To assess the reliability of ultrasonographic, cone beam computed tomographic (CBCT), probe transparency and transgingival probing (TGP) methods in evaluating gingival thickness (GT), compared with the gold standard histological assessment. Methods Sixteen fresh cadaver heads with intact gingivae were used.

Evidence of a putative CO2 delivery system to the chromatophore in the photosynthetic amoeba Paulinella. [PDF]
The photosynthetic amoeba, Paulinella provides a model for understanding plastid primary endosymbiosis. We analysed genomic data to understand how Paulinella delivers CO2 to the site of fixation in the photosynthetic organelle, the chromatophore. We discovered a putative CO2 delivery system (i.e., a biochemical carbon concentrating mechanism, CCM) that

The Relationship Between Parent-Child Attachment and Peer Attachment and Depression in College Students: A Moderated Polynomial Regression With Response Surface Analyses. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Previous research has established a strong link between parental attachment and depression in youth. However, the nuances of paternal‐maternal attachment congruence and its relationship with depressive symptoms, as well as the roles of gender differences and peer attachment in this context, remain unclear.

Self-Management Therapies for Temporomandibular Disorders-Evidence From Systematic Reviews. [PDF]
This umbrella review synthesized existing evidence on self‐management therapy for temporomandibular disorder. ABSTRACT Objectives Chronic pain in the orofacial region affects 10%–15% of the general population. It is most often related to temporomandibular disorders (TMD): pain in the masticatory muscles and the temporomandibular joints.

Algae obscura: The potential of rare species as model systems
Abstract Model organism research has provided invaluable knowledge about foundational biological principles. However, most of these studies have focused on species that are in high abundance, easy to cultivate in the lab, and represent only a small fraction of extant biodiversity. Here, we present three examples of rare algae with unusual features that

Evaluating the accessibility of old cities: Case of Central Kolkata, India
In this research, the accessibility of the footpath‐level walkability condition of old core cities has been assessed through Architectural Planning Research, considering Central Kolkata, India as a case. The findings of this research prove the relationship between footpath width and the footpath infrastructure. Abstract Old Indian cities are often less

Advanced pathway engineering for phototrophic putrescine production
Summary The polyamine putrescine (1,4‐diaminobutane) contributes to cellular fitness in most organisms, where it is derived from the amino acids ornithine or arginine. In the chemical industry, putrescine serves as a versatile building block for polyamide synthesis.

Abstract So far the limited knowledge about the diet of omnivores and generalist predators in olive groves has not allowed the clarification of their role as natural enemies. Stable isotope (δN15 and δC13) analysis is a useful tool for predicting the trophic position of a high number of species, the variety of basal resources and the flux of energy in ...

Abstract Chondrocytes in osteoarthritic (OA) cartilage acquire a hypertrophic‐like phenotype, where Hedgehog (Hh) signaling is pivotal. Hh overexpression causes OA‐like cartilage lesions, whereas its downregulation prevents articular destruction in mouse models. Mutations in EVC and EVC2 genes disrupt Hh signaling, and are responsible for the Ellis‐van

The beetle Labidostomis lusitanica occurs mostly in the central‐southern and eastern part of the Iberian Peninsula, in dry and hot climates. Models predict a considerable overlap between the most suitable areas for the beetle and those for pistachio cultivation, suggesting a high pest potential.
