Objective: This study used spectrophotometry to examine how staining beverages affect the color stability of three commercial composite materials (nanohybrid composite (A), bulk fill composite (B), and flowable composite (C)) over time.
Materials And Methods: Composite discs were randomly divided into groups. The specimens were kept in coffee, tea, red wine, and cola for 14 days at 37°C in the dark. At baseline, 7 days, and 14 days, spectrophotometers measured color. Calculated and analyzed color differences (E).
Results: Staining beverages changed the color of all composites. Composite material A had the best color stability, whereas material C stained beverages the most. Red wine and coffee discolored composites most. Discoloration increased over the 14-day immersion period.
Conclusion: Composite materials with better color stability were material A. Red wine and coffee discolored composites most. When choosing restorative materials, dentists should consider composite materials' color stability for long-lasting, visually acceptable results.

Anastrepha obliqua, a neotropical pest widely distributed in the Americas, attacks mango and other tropical fruits. In Mexico, it is controlled through integrated pest management, using the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) as a main component. The applicability of SIT is significantly improved with the use of genetic sexing strains (GSS) that allow the possibility to release exclusively sterile males, the primary component of the technique.

Fish gelatin (FG) is a biopolymer with favorable biocompatibility, mechanical strength, and water retention, making it ideal for films, hydrogels, and bio-based applications. This study aimed to comparatively investigate the FG based intelligent films and hydrogels for monitoring shrimp freshness. Intelligent films and hydrogels were prepared using FG as a macromolecular matrix, incorporating ferulic acid (FA)-crosslinked anthocyanin (ACN) as an indicator, and enhanced with polysaccharides (κ-carrageenan (κC), xanthan glucomannan (XG), and konjac glucomannan (KGM)).

This study investigated the effects of electron beam irradiation (0-8 kGy) on the physicochemical and protein properties of scallop adductor muscles under refrigerated storage. Irradiation significantly decreased moisture content, microbial counts, and total sulfhydryl content immediately after treatment (day 0), while increasing carbonyl content, surface hydrophobicity, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) (P < 0.05).

Animal coloration plays a fundamental role in communication, camouflage, aposematism, mimicry and thermoregulation, and has strong implications for adaptation and diversification. Phenotypic plasticity of color traits can thus affect social, reproductive, antipredator, or thermoregulatory behavior and determining the causes and consequences of color change helps us understand evolution. In contrast to seasonal or ontogenetic color changes, physiological color change in response to fine-scale changes in environmental conditions has received less attention.

Existing inequities are exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Similar to HIV, COVID-19 disproportionately affects Black and other communities of color. Among Black women living with HIV (BWLWH) this study examined the relationship between community level and individual level social determinants of health and time to COVID-19 vaccine uptake.
