A model resin composite containing a novel monomodal inorganic filler system based on submicron-sized Ba–Si–Al glass particles (NanoFine NF180; Schott) was formulated and compared with an experimental composite containing micron-sized particles (UltraFine UF1.0; Schott). The filler particles were characterized using X-ray microanalysis and granulometry, while the composites were characterized in terms of filler–resin morphology, radiopacity, degree of CC conversion, hardness, flexural strength/modulus, ...

Aflatoxins are secondary metabolites of the fungi Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus. Among them, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is the most frequent type in nature and the most carcinogenic for mammals. It can contaminate many kinds of food like seeds, oil, olives, milk, dairy products, corn and meat, causing acute and chronic damages to the organism, especially in the liver, being, for this reason, considered highly hepatotoxic. AFB1 is also a mixed inhibitor of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). This ...

A new graphical analysis of impedance spectra of electrochemical interfaces is proposed that takes into account the possible existence of distributed elements and filters out portions of spectra that are dominated by faradaic contributions. The proposed method is based on the concept of a generalized phase element, αgpe. It is already known that, in contrast to the so called constant phase element, αgpe is a function of frequency and is very sensitive to changes in impedance spectra caused by underlying ...

Drug eluting stents and particularly the fully bioresorbable drug-eluting scaffolds herald a new era in percutaneous treatment of coronary artery disease. There has been tremendous progress in drug eluting stents with fully biodegradable coating polymers and polymer-free devices with reservoir technology planting the anti-proliferative drug. Despite significant decreases in in-stent restenosis rates with drug eluting stents, limitations still remain before we are able to develop fully bioresorbable ...
