Article Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of posts with different morphologies on stress distribution in an endodontically treated mandibular premolar by using finite element models (FEMs).

Materials And Methods: A mandibular premolar was modeled using the ANSYS software program. Two models were created to represent circular and oval fiber posts in this tooth model. An oblique force of 300 N was applied at an angle of 45° to the occlusal plane and oriented toward the buccal side. von Mises stress was measured in three regions each for oval and circular fiber posts.

Results: FEM analysis showed that the von Mises stress of the circular fiber post (426.81 MPa) was greater than that of the oval fiber post (346.34 MPa). The maximum distribution of von Mises stress was in the luting agent in both groups. Additionally, von Mises stresses accumulated in the coronal third of root dentin, close to the post space in both groups.

Conclusion: Oval fiber posts are preferable to circular fiber posts in oval-shaped canals given the stress distribution at the post-dentin interface.

The sanitary napkin market is flourishing continuously due to increasing self-hygiene awareness in females. The commercially available sanitary napkins are mostly synthesized using petroleum based raw materials which are non-biodegradable in nature. With the growing global trend towards the adoption of eco-friendly, biodegradable and renewable raw materials, researchers are trying to design and manufacture sanitary napkins with natural, bio-based materials ensuring customer's comfort and healthcare.

The interthalamic adhesion, or massa intermedia, is a midline bridge of neural tissue connecting the thalami across the third ventricle and usually containing the nucleus reuniens. It is important radiologically and neurosurgically: accessing the third ventricle or structures through the third ventricle, endoscopic surgery at third ventricle. We aim to consolidate current knowledge on the interthalamic adhesion, focusing on its morphology, nomenclature, development, histology, connections and anatomical variations to clarify longstanding inconsistencies.

Doubly His-tagged mCherry red fluorescent proteins are observed to form fibers and sheets at neutral pH in the presence of no more than equimolar amounts of Zn or Ni. These architectures, on the order of 10 μm in extent, are detected with scanning transmission electron microscopy imaging. Far ultraviolet circular dichroism spectroscopy attests to the preservation of the native secondary structure of mCherry, while the emission spectrum reveals the maintenance of the chemical environment of the fluorophore site.

The olive oil industry generates vast amounts of by-products, including olive pomace, olive mill wastewater, olive pits, and olive leaves, which pose serious environmental and economic challenges. However, these residues are rich in bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, dietary fibers, unsaturated fatty acids, and sugar derivatives, making them valuable resources for sustainable valorization. This review explores innovative biotechnological and probiotic-driven approaches to convert olive waste into high-value products, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 12 (Responsible consumption and production) and SDG 13 (Climate action).
