Interface Wettability Transition‐Driven Drug Release and Dual‐Phase Functionalization in Implant Abutment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A temporally controlled drug release coating is developed for abutments using a superhydrophobic coating self‐assembled on mesoporous silica. This surface provides sequential functionality: initial contamination resistance through non‐wetting, followed by controlled drug release via wettability transition.

Public health and dental caries in young children in deprived communities in Scotland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Dental  caries  is  the  most  prevalent  disease  worldwide,  and  is  caused  by  a  complex  interaction of tooth susceptibility, nutrition and the oral environment.  In young children it  can have a major impact on their quality of life, and is the

Boosting Sensory Nerve‐to‐Bone Interactions Enhances Hedgehog Mediated Calvarial Bone Repair

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Boosting sensory nerve activity via TrkA agonism strongly accelerates calvarial bone repair in adult mice. Furthermore, single‐cell RNA sequencing and neuron–bone interactome analyses identify these sensory neurons as a direct neural source of Hedgehog pathway ligands. Consequently, these ligands drive osteoblast differentiation of skeletal progenitors,

Dental Student’s Awareness on Caries Risk Assessment: A Multicentric Study

open access: yesJournal of the Scientific Society
Background: Caries risk assessment (CRA) plays a major role in formulating and implementing preventive rather than corrective measures for dental caries, thus reducing the overall cost of management. Dental students’ familiarity with CRA is uncertain and,

Rising Pancreatic Cancer Incidence in Young Japanese Women and Increasing Distal Pancreatectomy in Older Adults: A Nationwide Claims‐Based Analysis From 2016 to 2023

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This nationwide claims‐based study analyzed recent trends in pancreatic cancer incidence (2016–2021) and surgery (2016–2023) in Japan. The study revealed a rising incidence of pancreatic cancer, notably among young women, and an increasing use of distal pancreatectomy among older adults.

Survival Outcomes of Gemcitabine–Cisplatin–S‐1 Versus Gemcitabine–Cisplatin in Unresectable Biliary Tract Cancer: A Multicenter Retrospective Study With a Focus on Conversion Surgery

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In this multicenter retrospective study conducted by the Biliary Tract Club, we compared survival outcomes between gemcitabine–cisplatin–S‐1 (GCS) and gemcitabine–cisplatin (GC) in patients with unresectable biliary tract cancer, with a particular focus on conversion surgery. GCS was associated with longer overall and progression‐free survival compared

Artificial Intelligence‐Driven Insights into Electrospinning: Machine Learning Models to Predict Cotton‐Wool‐Like Structure of Electrospun Fibers

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Electrospinning allows the fabrication of fibrous 3D cotton‐wool‐like scaffolds for tissue engineering. Optimizing this process traditionally relies on trial‐and‐error approaches, and artificial intelligence (AI)‐based tools can support it, with the prediction of fiber properties. This work uses machine learning to classify and predict the structure of

How does the Kids SIPsmartER program impact the sugar‐sweetened beverage intake of students: An investigation beyond total treatment effect in randomized controlled trial

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study develops and empirically estimates a structural framework to decompose the causal pathways of multilevel behavioral interventions targeting adolescent health behaviors. We apply this framework to the Kids SIPsmartER (KSS) program, a 6‐month, school‐based intervention evaluated through a clustered randomized controlled trial in rural
