Today we arrive for the second day of the NAMIC Global Additive Manufacturing Summit. First, an MOU was signed between TUV SUD and ThyssenKrupp, the two German companies picking the show as the place to ink their cooperation in Additive. Mark Beard, Global Director for Process and Application Development at Additive Industries, was the first speaker. Mark spoke of why there were so few metals for 3D printing available. He pointed to the MAPP project and other initiatives that were unlocking machine...
Whenever the futuristic visions of the past are closer to becoming a reality we wonder what the next step for humanity will be. But when it comes to medicine, every step is a long one, pre-clinical and clinical trials take years, and if we look at some of the known facts, the discipline has advanced but it hasn’t changed very much. For example, it’s been 50 years since the first successful heart transplant, and human donors are still required today. Heart transplants are still risky and complex procedures...

Abstract Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematologic malignancy. In spite of the development of new therapeutic agents, MM remains incurable due to multidrug resistance (MDR) and the 5-year survival rate is approximately 50%. Thus, further study is needed to investigate the mechanism of MDR and improve MM prognosis. Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a molecular chaperone that is responsible for the stability of a number of client proteins, most of which are involved...

Abstract Full‐arch screw‐retained implant‐supported fixed dental prostheses have a high long‐term success rate and are considered the gold standard by many clinicians. However, accurate fabrication of a passive fit long‐span prosthesis can be challenging. A novel intraoral adhesion method using galvano‐telescopic copings were proposed as a way of improving prosthetic fit for edentulous patients. This report describes the treatment of a 74‐year‐old female with a full‐arch implant‐supported dental...

Abstract Background Platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF) can be used in the alveolar socket preservation (ARP). However, the hard tissue‐regeneration property of PRF in alveolar socket preservation is still unclear. Purpose To compare the new bone formation ratio between using PRF as a socket preservation material and normal wound healing, by means of histomorphometric analysis. Materials and methods Thirty‐three healthy volunteers were recruited and randomized into PRF and control group. Minimally...
Abstract Objective To investigate the effect of open‐flap or flapless approaches on the accuracy of implant placement partially guided by tooth‐supported surgical templates. Materials and Methods A total of 36 edentulous sites were selected from seven human cadaver heads. Following the preoperative implant planning using Blue Sky Plan, surgical guides were fabricated by an in‐office desktop 3D printer.

Background Stable cesium (133Cs) naturally exists in the environment whereas recently deposited radionuclides (e.g., 137Cs) are not at equilibrium. Stable cesium has been used to understand the long-term behavior of radionuclides in plants, trees and mushrooms. We are interested in using 133Cs to predict the future transfer factor (TF) of radiocesium from contaminated logs to shiitake mushrooms in Eastern Japan. However, the current methodology to obtain a representative wood sample for 133Cs analysis...
Electrophysiological research with event-related brain potentials (ERPs) is increasingly moving from simple, strictly orthogonal stimulation paradigms towards more complex, quasi-experimental designs and naturalistic situations that involve fast, multisensory stimulation and complex motor behavior. As a result, electrophysiological responses from subsequent events often overlap with each other. In addition, the recorded neural activity is typically modulated by numerous covariates, which influence...
Avian animals are visually inclined, which has caused them to attract increasing attention for visual neurophysiology or electrophysiology studies, including the study of the visual evoked potential (VEP). VEP has developed into an investigative tool for understanding the physiology and the pathology of the visual pathway. Chemical restraint is a common method to minimize motion artifacts in animals when acquiring VEP data, but little is known about its influence on the signal in an avian animal....
Celery is one of the most important vegetable crop and its yield and quality is influenced by many environmental factors. Researches on gene expression not only help to unravel the molecular regulatory mechanism but also identify the key genes in the biological response. RT-qPCR is a commonly used technology to quantify the gene expression. Selecting an appropriate reference gene is an effective approach to improve the accuracy of RT-qPCR assay. To our knowledge, the evaluation of reference genes...

ABSTRACT Background Human Parvovirus B19 (PVB19) is a cosmopolitan DNA virus transmissible parenterally by blood transfusion. Therefore, the risk of transmission through asymptomatic blood donors should be considered and appropriately managed worldwide. PVB19 screening of blood and blood products for transfusion is not done routinely in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The main objective of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of PVB19 infection in healthy eligible blood donors...
