The goal of this paper was to determine the efficacy of the surgical treatment of two-wall peri-implant defects filled with L-PRF/xenograft block in the reduction of peri-implant marginal bone levels after 12 months. Ten patients with two-wall peri-i...
The block varying pulse repetition frequency (BV-PRF) scheme applied to spaceborne squint sliding-spotlight synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can resolve large-range cell migration (RCM) and reduce azimuth signal non-uniformity. However, in the BV-PRF s...
The management of critical-size bone defects is still demanding. Recently, autologous platelet concentrates in combination with bone substitute have been applied and reported in a few studies. Our aim is to report the healing of a critical-size alveo...
To tackle the problems of Doppler spectrum, aliasing caused by azimuth beam scanning and azimuthal serious non-uniform sampling in squint sliding spotlight synthetic aperture radar (SAR) with varying repetition frequency technology, the azimuth sampl...
Background/Objectives: Adequate peri-implant soft tissue thickness is essential for long-term peri-implant health and esthetics. Horizontal platelet-rich fibrin (H-PRF) has been proposed to support soft tissue regeneration; however, experimental and...
The interferon-induced host cell protein shiftless (SFL) was reported to inhibit human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection by blocking the –1 programmed ribosomal frameshifting (–1PRF) required for expression of the Gag-Pol polyprotein...
Solid platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), consisting of coagulated plasma from fractionated blood, has been proposed to be a suitable carrier for recombinant bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) to target mesenchymal cells during bone regeneration. However, w...
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane is a three-dimensional biodegradable biopolymer, which consists of platelet derived growth factors enhancing cell adhesion and proliferation. It is widely used in soft and hard tissue regeneration, however, there a...
Liquid platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) can be prepared by high centrifugation forces separating the blood into a platelet-poor plasma (PPP) layer and a cell-rich buffy coat layer, termed concentrated PRF (C-PRF). Heating the liquid PPP was recently introd...
Hydrogen peroxide is a damage signal at sites of chronic inflammation. The question arises whether platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), platelet-poor plasma (PPP), and the buffy coat can neutralize hydrogen peroxide toxicity and thereby counteract local oxida...
Objectives: To investigate the efficacy and safety of an improved ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) and nerve block (NB) for patients with pudendal neuralgia (PN). Methods: This retrospective analysis included 88 adults with PN treated in...
Background and Objectives: Chronic migraines are a disabling neurological disorder with limited response to preventive pharmacological treatments. Greater occipital nerve (GON)-targeted radiofrequency (RF) procedures have emerged as promising interve...
To achieve value-added utilization of domestic bamboo and plantation wood resources, this study investigated the feasibility of using flattened bamboo and Chinese fir for manufacturing cross-laminated bamboo and timber (CLBT). Two types of adhesives,...
Multiphase fluoride polycrystalline eutectics pRF3 × qMF2 forming in the MF2–RF3 (M = Ca, Sr, Ba; R = La–Nd) binary systems were synthesized by the directional crystallization technique from a melt. The phase composition, morphology...
Background: Although several treatments are currently available for chronic pelvic pain, 30–60% of patients do not respond to them. Therefore, these therapeutic options require a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying endometriosis-i...
Background and Objectives: Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) of the cervical medial branches is a non-destructive neuromodulatory option for chronic cervical facet joint pain, yet evidence regarding the durability of clinical response and factors associate...
The differences of physical and mechanical properties of different laminations, such as softwood, hardwood or other structural composite lumber, in hybrid cross-laminated timber (HCLT), lead to their dimensional stability and bonding performance more...
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is increasingly recognized as the leading cause of acute hepatitis. Although HEV infections are mostly self-limiting, a chronic course can develop especially in those with immunocompromised state. Ribavirin is currently used t...
The growing need for sustainable and resource-efficient materials increasingly promotes the use of block-glued laminated timber (glulam) in buildings and civil structures such as bridges. While timber is renewable and sustainable, the formaldehyde-ba...
As systems migrate toward post-quantum readiness, symmetric keys are kept longer and protect larger data volumes, a regime in which keystream security beyond the birthday bound matters. The dominant block–cipher counter mode, AES-CTR (Advanced...
Previous studies have proved that Larix kaempferi is a good material for preparing cross-laminated timber (CLT), but under bending shear stress, CLT made by Larix kaempferi is prone to the phenomenon of bonding face cracking, which seriously affects...
Rabbit hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a novel HEV belonging to genotype 3 (HEV-3) in the Orthohepevirus A species of the genus Hepevirus, family Hepeviridae. Rabbit HEV was originally isolated from rabbits and found to cause zoonotic infection. Although...
To address the inherent drawbacks of micro-arc oxidation (MAO), this study employed MAO combined with sol–gel processing to fabricate ZrO2/Al2O3-CeO2 composite coatings on ZrH1.8 surfaces, aiming to solve the hydrogen evolution problem of zirco...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. The AKT pathway is often activated in HCC cases, and a longer exposure to tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as sorafenib may lead to over-activation of t...
Background: Ultrasonography is commonly employed during thoracic regional anesthesia; however, its accuracy can be affected by factors such as obesity and poor penetration through the rib window. Needle-sized ultrasound transducers, known as intra-ne...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary hepatic malignancy. HCC is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths worldwide. The oral multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor Sorafenib is the standard first-line therapy in patients with...
(1) Introduction: Trust is a cornerstone of the patient–physician relationships. Unforeseen complications in the health care system could jeopardize patients’ trust in their physicians. (2) Aim: This article presents a quantitative figure...
