MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study oral health status of children with and without type 1 diabetes were evaluated by using different indices (dmft/DMFT, International Caries Detection and Assessment System(ICDAS)II, pufa, gingival and periodontal index). Halitosis was determined by organoleptic assessment and sulfur monitoring. RESULTS One hundred children with the age range between 6-13 years, 50 type 1 diabetics (24 boys,26 girls) with mean age (±sd) of 10.3±2.1 years and 50 healthy (30 boys, 20 girls) with mean age (±sd) of 9.9±1.5 years, had participated in the study. The median values of dmft and dmfs was lower in children with type 1 diabetes, while for DMFT and DMFS indices were similar with healthy group. Cavitated caries lesions were observed in 60.0% of children with diabetes and in 58.0% of healthy children. According to the ICDAS II index, 42.0% of children with diabetes and 56.0% of healthy children had severe decay.The mean plaque index was statistically significantly less in diabetic children (p = 0.04). In 12.0% of children with type 1 diabetes and in 18.0% of healthy children, volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) were determined to be ≥150 ppb and the highest score in the organoleptic evaluation was 4 in both groups. In diabetic children with the cut off value of 7.5% HbA1c, there was no statistically significant difference in oral health indices results and VSC scores. CONCLUSION Findings of the present study are insufficient to support a significant effect of diabetes on increasing the risk of oral and periodontal diseases. Nonetheless, it is important to emphasize the importance of oral and dental health, regular oral care and dental visits both to the patients with type 1 diabetes and their parents. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd.Range and setup uncertainties in charged particle therapy may induce a discrepancy between planned and delivered dose. Countermeasures based on probabilistic optimization assume a Gaussian probability density to model the underlying range and setup error. While this assumption is generally taken for granted, this work explicitly investigates dosimetric consequences if the actual errors obey a different probability density function (PDF) over the course of treatment than the one used during probabilistic treatment plan optimization. Discrete random sampling was performed for conventionally and probabilistically optimized proton and carbon ion treatment plans utilizing various probability density functions modeling the setup and range error. This method allowed to assess the treatment plan robustness against different probability density functions of conventional and probabilistic plans, which both explicitly assume Gaussian uncertainties. The induced uncertainty in dose was quantified by estimating the expectaticle treatment plans. Normally distributed range and setup error assumptions for probabilistic optimization are a reasonable first approximation and yield treatment plans that are also robust against other PDFs. © 2020 Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine.Plasmonic artificial molecules are promising platforms for linear and nonlinear optical modulation at various regimes including the visible, infrared and terahertz bands. Fano resonances in plasmonic artificial structures are widely used for controlling spectral lineshapes and tailoring of near-field and far-field optical response. Generation of a strong Fano resonance usually relies on strong plasmon coupling in densely packed plasmonic structures. Challenges in reproducible fabrication using conventional lithography significantly hinders the exploration of novel plasmonic nanostructures for strong Fano resonance. Selleckchem GDC-0879 In this work, we propose a new class of plasmonic molecules with symmetric structure for Fano resonances, named evenly divided disk, which shows a strong Fano resonance due to the interference between a subradiant anti-bonding mode and a superradiant bonding mode. We successfully fabricated evenly divided disk structures with high reproducibility and with sub-20-nm gaps, using our recently developed sketch and peel lithography technique. The experimental spectra agree well with the calculated response, indicating the robustness of the Fano resonance for the evenly divided disk geometry. Control experiments reveal that the strength of the Fano resonance gradually increases when increasing the number of split parts on the disk from 3 to 8 individual segments. The Fano-resonant plasmonic molecules that can also be reliably defined by our unique fabrication approach open up new avenues for application and provide insight into the design of artificial molecules for controlling light-matter interactions. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd.Coronary flow rate remains complex to assess in clinical practice using non-invasive, non-ionizing imaging tools. In this study, we introduce 3-D Ultrafast Doppler Coronary Angiography (3-D UDCA), an ultrasound-based method to assess coronary blood flows in three-dimensions at high volume-rate and in one single heartbeat. We demonstrate that 3-D UDCA can visualize the coronary vasculature with high temporal and spatial resolution and quantify the absolute flow. The feasibility of the technique was demonstrated in an open-chest swine model. The flow rate of the left-anterior descending artery (LAD) assessed by 3-D UDCA was reconstructed successfully at the early diastolic and late diastolic phases and was in good agreement with an invasive gold-standard flowmeter during baseline, reactive hyperemia and coronary stenosis (r2 = 0.84). Finally, we demonstrate that a coronary stenosis on the LAD can be visualized as well as its associated flow acceleration. © 2020 Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine.Although CdX (X= S, Se) has been mostly studied in the field of photocatalysis, photovoltaics, their intrinsic properties, such as, mechanical, piezoelectric, electron and phonon transport properties have been completely overlooked in buckled CdX monolayers. Ultra-low lattice thermal conductivity (1.08 W/mK (0.75 W/mK)) and high p-type Seebeck coefficient (1300 µV/K (850 µV/K)) in CdS (CdSe) monolayers have been found in this work based on first-principles DFT coupled to semi-classical Boltzmann transport equations, combining both the electronic and phononic transport. The dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) is calculated to be 0.78 (0.5) in CdS (CdSe) monolayers at room temperature, which is comparable to that of 2D tellurene (0.8), arsenene and antimonene (0.8), indicating its great potential for applications in 2D thermoelectrics. Such a low lattice thermal conductivity arise from the participation of both acoustic [91.98 % (89.22 %)] and optical modes [8.02 % (10.78 %)] together with low Debye temperature [254 K (187 K)], low group velocity [4 km/s (3 km/s)] in CdS (CdSe) monolayers, high anharmonicity and short phonon lifetime.
