COVID-19 has drastically altered our lives in an unprecedented manner, shuttering industries, and leaving most of the country in isolation as we adapt to the evolving crisis. Orthopedic surgery has not been spared from these effects, with the postponement of elective procedures in an attempt to mitigate disease transmission and preserve hospital resources as the pandemic continues to expand. During these turbulent times, it is crucial to understand that while patient and care-providers safety is paramount, canceling or postponing essential surgical care is not without consequences, and may be irreversibly detrimental to a patient's health and quality of life in some cases. The optimal solution of how to effectively balance the resumption of standard surgical care while doing everything possible to limit the spread of COVID-19 is undetermined, and could include strategies such as social distancing, screening forms and tests including temperature screening, segregation of inpatient and outpatient teams, proper use of protective gear, and the use of ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) to provide elective, yet ultimately essential, surgical care while conserving resources and protecting the health of patients and health-care providers. Of importance, these recommendations do not and should not supersede evolving United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and relevant federal, state and local public health guidelines.

The purpose of this study was to compare fracture load of 3-unit ceramic FPDs. Materials and methods Extracted premolars and molars (N = 64) were used to create three test groups (IRFPDs) and one control group (full coverage FPD) (n = 8). The teeth were embedded in PMMA resin with a mesiodistal distance of 6 mm. Premolars had a distal and molars had a mesial inlay preparation (width 3 mm; height 4 mm) in the test groups. IRFPDs were made from a zirconia reinforced lithium silicate (VS) or a monolithic zirconia. Zirconia IRFPDs received 2 types of surface treatments sandblasting (Zr-IRFPD) or internal coating with feldspathic porcelain (ZrC-IRFPD). Control group was made from monolithic zirconia with the same connector size and zirconia surfaces were sandblasted (Zr-FPD). All restorations were cemented using a resin luting cement. After 5000 thermo-cycles, fracture load values (N) were determined with a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 0.75 mm/min. Data were analyzed using 1-way ANOVA and Tukey`s post hoc test (p ˂ .05). Result Fracture load (mean ± SD) of Zr-FPDs, Zr-IRFPDs and ZrC-IRFPDs were 672 ± 183, 672 ± 123 and 638 ± 59, respectively, being not statistically different (p > .05). VS-IRFPD exhibited statically lower values (391 ± 136). The predominant mode of failure was fracture at the connector area in all groups. Conclusion The fracture load of 3-unit IRFPD was significantly affected by types of ceramics but the retainer design and surface treatment in Zr groups did not show a significant effect. © 2020 The Author(s).

Herein, we have developed a series of novel logic gates for miRNA analysis coupling DNA nanostructures and chameleon silver nanoclusters (AgNCs). DNA dumbbell structures are firstly designed with two independent nucleation sequences for AgNCs at the 5' and 3' ends, respectively. By introducing different miRNA inputs, separations of two AgNCs are controlled and the fluorescence property of AgNCs changes. By studying the ratiometric fluorescence responses, sensitive and selective analysis of multiple miRNAs can be achieved. The present work provides powerful tools for miRNA diagnostics and may also guide future DNA nanostructure-based logic gates.

The non-image forming effects of light heavily rely on specific properties such as intensity, duration, timing, pattern, and wavelengths. Here, we address how specific properties of light influence sleep and wakefulness in humans through acute effects, e.g., on alertness, and/or effects on the circadian timing system. Of critical relevance, we discuss how different characteristics of light exposure across the 24-h day can lead to changes in sleep-wake timing, sleep propensity, sleep architecture, and sleep and wake electroencephalogram (EEG) power spectra. Ultimately, knowledge on how light affects sleep and wakefulness can improve light settings at home and at the workplace to improve health and well-being and optimize treatments of chronobiological disorders.Background Inflammation is a key component of immune response to infections and pathogenesis of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Inflammatory biomarkers, including alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), are considered prognostic tools for predicting risk, monitoring response to therapy, and adjusting nutritional biomarkers for accurate interpretation. Serum is considered a primary source of biomarkers; urine and saliva are increasingly being explored and utilized as rapidly accessible, noninvasive biofluids requiring minimal sample processing and posing fewer biohazard risks. Methods A lateral flow immunoassay was developed for an established mobile-based platform to quantify AGP in human serum, urine, and saliva. Assay performance was assessed with purified AGP in buffer, diluted human serum samples (n = 16) banked from a trial in people living with HIV, and saliva and urine (n = 15 each) from healthy participants. Reference methods were conventional clinical chemistry analyzer or commercial ELISA. Bootstrap analysis was used to train and validate sample calibration.
