Abstract Background Proximal interphalangeal joint osteoarthritis (PIPJ OA) is a common cause of poor performance in the equine athlete; however, the supporting soft tissue structures surrounding the joint are seldom evaluated. Straight sesamoidean ligament injuries have been previously hypothesised to be concomitant with PIPJ OA; however, the ...

Petrography, thermobarometry, and pseudosection modelling reveal peak metamorphic conditions of 3–7.5 kbar and 520°C–800°C in Tonian‐Cryogenian orthogneisses of the Dom Feliciano Belt. Metamorphic field gradients of 27°C/km–39°C/km and variable exhumation mechanisms support correlation of these units as remnants of a Himalayan‐type Piratini Orogeny ...

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...

Tales From Within: Dental Students’ Reflective Activities Involving Equity‐Deserving Communities
ABSTRACT Objective Undergraduate dental training benefits from community service‐learning (CSL) placements, in which equity‐deserving groups receive oral health care and students can critically reflect on their experiences. This study aimed to thematically explore the moments of revelation and struggle that senior dental students reflected on while ...

The Sum of PRPs Is a Secure PRF [PDF]
Given d independent pseudorandom permutations (PRPs) πi, ..., πd over {0; 1}n, it appears natural to define a pseudorandom function (PRF) by adding (or XORing) the permutation results: sumd(x) = π1(x) ⊕...⊕πd(x). This paper investigates the security of sumd and also considers a variant that only uses one single PRP over {0; 1}n.

Functional tooth unit, periodontal status, and association with weight change in older adults
Abstract Background Literature reports that having fewer teeth is associated with reduced chewing capacity, which in turn may lead to weight changes due to diminished oral functionality. This study aims to assess the association between functional tooth units (FTU) and periodontal status and weight change among older adults participating in the Health,

Abstract Background The clinical efficacy of growth factors in regenerative procedures may depend on both dosage and sustained delivery during critical phases of healing. This study aimed to evaluate in vitro release kinetics of platelet‐derived growth factor‐BB (PDGF‐BB) from various graft materials, including recombinant human PDGF‐BB (rhPDGF‐BB ...
