Article Abstract

The accurate replacement of a missing eye with an ocular prosthesis that matches the healthy eye in terms of color and dimension of the sclera and iris is crucial for individuals who have lost an eye from trauma or cancer. A method is shown for precisely imitating the patient's sclera in terms of translucency from the patient's healthy eye for the prosthetic eye by creating custom translucency tabs. It is a straightforward, effective, and time-saving method of improving results during prosthesis fabrication.

Optimizing Growth Regulator Concentrations for L. Micropropagation.

Plants (Basel)

August 2025

Department of Agriculture, Food and Resource Sciences, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, 1 College Backbone Road, Princess Anne, MD 21853, USA.

In this study, the effect of growth regulators on shoot proliferation and rooting were evaluated to develop an efficient micropropagation protocol for the L. cultivars 'Cherry Soda' and 'Purple'. Apical meristems were isolated from actively growing shoots of stock plants and transferred to Driver and Kuniyuki Walnut (DKW) culture medium containing either 0.

Objective: To evaluate the fatigue life of 5Y-PSZ crowns coated with antimicrobial glasses and the wear on the antagonist, comparing it to a commercial glaze.

Methods: Forty-five crowns of 5Y-PSZ zirconia were divided into: commercial glaze (G); boron-doped soda-lime glass (BSL), and boron-doped soda-lime glass with silver (BSLAg). Step-stress accelerated life testing was conducted at 2 Hz with a stress ratio of 0.

Production and partial characterization of a new fibrinolytic protease from salmon oyster mushroom from Amazonia.

Braz J Biol

July 2025

Universidade Federal do Amazonas - UFAM, Programa de Pós-graduação em Biotecnologia - PPGBIOTEC, Departamento de Parasitologia, Grupo de Pesquisa Fungos de Interesse Industrial e Médico, Manaus, AM, Brasil.

Edible mushrooms are excellent sources of enzymes, especially fibrinolytic proteases, which work to dissolve blood clots and can be obtained through different fermentative processes. This research evaluated the production of fibrinolytic protease from a specie of edible mushroom in different formulations of liquid cultures. Pleurotus ostreatoroseus was provided by the DPUA culture collection at the Federal University of Amazonas and cultivated on PDA agar supplemented with 0.
