Article Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the accuracy and repeatability of intraoral instruments used for shade determination compared to visual shade selection (VSS).
Materials And Methods: A total of 20 subjects and 10 observers, balanced by gender, participated in the study. Observers performed VSS of the upper right central incisor from each subject. Instrumental shade determination of the same teeth was performed using a spectrophotometer (Easyshade V) and intraoral scanners (CEREC Omnicam, Primescan, Trios 3 and Trios 4). Vita Classical shade nomenclature was used to record the shade designation for all instruments and VSS. The accuracy of the instruments was determined by comparing the instrument readings with the most frequent visual shade selected. The percentage of accuracy was obtained by comparing the number of agreements with the number of comparisons. The percentage of repeatability was obtained by comparing the number of repeated shades with the number of shade measurements in each group. Accuracy was compared using Cochran Q test followed by pairwise comparisons using multiple McNemar's tests with Bonferroni correction. Repeatability of the instruments was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha.
Results: Omnicam showed a significant lower accuracy than the other instruments (p < 0.05). No statistical difference on repeatability was found among the different instruments (p > 0.05). It was not found any statistical differences for VSS accuracy among the observers (p = 0.437) and between genders (p = 0.867).
Conclusion: Instrumental repeatability (≥75%) and similar accuracy between the best performed instruments (69%-77.5%) and the observers performance (65%-90%) supports the use of high-performance instruments for dental shade determination.
Clinical Significance: Most instruments (Easyshade V, Primescan, Trios 3, and Trios 4) showed similar accuracy performance to observers in the VSS.

Metabolomic profiling reveals that the heterogeneity of microhabitats can assist intertidal mollusks in surviving extreme cold events.

Unlabelled: Microhabitat heterogeneity results in significant variations in the thermal environment on a small spatial scale, leading to different intensities of cold stress during extreme low-temperature events. Investigating variations in body temperature and metabolomic responses of organisms inhabiting different microhabitats emerges as an important task for understanding how organisms respond to more frequent extreme low-temperature events in the face of climate change. In the present study, we measured substrate temperature, air temperature, wind speed, light intensity, and body temperature to evaluate the relative importance of drivers that affect body temperature in different microhabitats, and determined the metabolomic responses of intertidal snails and limpets from different microhabitats (snail: exposed vs.

Introduction: Hispanics are over-represented in outdoor occupations; therefore they face an elevated risk of skin cancer. However, there is limited research examining these workers' self-risk perceptions and sun-protective behaviors. This study explores Hispanic outdoor workers' knowledge, attitudes, barriers, and facilitators for engaging in sun-protective behaviors to inform a culturally-tailored intervention.

Forests and grasslands experience shifts in woody plant cover creating a continuum of woody plants across space. Global change accelerates this, causing many ecosystems to experience the redistribution of woody plants. There is growing interest in understanding how these ecological changes influence ecosystem function including climate regulation.

Introduction: Lower blood pressure (BP) is linked to reduced dementia risk, though it is uncertain whether this benefit stems solely from mitigating vascular brain injury (VBI) or also extends to directly influencing Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. We leveraged Mendelian randomization (MR) to assess whether lifelong lower BP is causally associated with neuropathological correlates of VBI and AD.
Methods: We identified genetic proxies for systolic and diastolic BP (n = 1,028,980) and applied them in MR analyses of post mortem neuropathological measures of VBI and AD (n = 6363-7786).

Background: Osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) are common in older adults and often lead to disability if not properly diagnosed and classified. With the increased use of computed tomography (CT) imaging and the development of radiomics and deep learning technologies, there is potential to improve the classification accuracy of OVFs.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a deep learning radiomics model, derived from CT imaging, in accurately classifying OVFs.
