The Development and Validation of the Partial Denture Experience Questionnaire (P‐DEQ): Reliability and Validity

Gerodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction This paper describes the development and preliminary validation of the Partial Denture Experience Questionnaire (P‐DEQ), a new, condition‐specific instrument designed to measure the multifaceted impacts of living with removable dentures. Methods The P‐DEQ was developed using a multi‐phase, mixed‐methods design. Item generation was

Assessing Femoral Anteversion in Patients With Bilateral Recurrent Patellar Dislocations

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine
Background: After first-time lateral patellar dislocation, 44% to 70% of patients sustain redislocations. Increased femoral anteversion (FA) is considered to result in increased lateralizing forces on the patella, which might predispose one to patellar ...

Empirical prediction of organic matter digestibility in grasses, legumes and their mixtures from dairy farms in Atlantic Spain

Grassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This study characterized the chemical composition and organic matter digestibility (OMD) of herbage from commercial dairy farms in Galicia (NW Spain), a humid‐temperate Atlantic region, and developed empirical prediction equations for OMD based on routine wet‐chemistry traits.

Marine migration influences mercury accumulation in anadromous Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Mercury (Hg) is a globally distributed toxic metal present in northern natural environments that biomagnifies in food webs and bioaccumulates in apex predator fish, such as Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus)—an iteroparous species with a circumpolar distribution. Arctic char exhibit a variety of life history types, with the migrating, anadromous

Evaluating the cost-effectiveness of prosthetic rehabilitation for partially edentulous teeth in India: A comparative study of Clasp-Retained RPDs, Thermoplastic Resin RPDs, and Cast Partial Dentures

Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research
Background: With rising life expectancy, partial edentulism has increased, particularly in developing nations where economic constraints, limited awareness, and inadequate dental care exacerbate the burden on aging populations.

A novel method based on high‐resolution imaging spectroscopy to predict fine‐root traits and the economics space of fresh tree roots

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Maps of the estimated root nitrogen concentration in the < 0.5‐mm‐diameter classes of 20 woody species based on the imaging spectroscopy using the shortwave infrared spectral region. Summary Tree fine‐root morphological, anatomical, and chemical traits are important to reflect belowground resource acquisition strategies to support tree growth, but ...
