Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumour in the paediatric population, accounting for approximately 8-10% of all childhood cancers. It arises from the abnormal proliferation of embryonic neural crest cells which normally give rise to the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the adrenal gland medulla. Its prognosis is uniquely heterogeneous, with some children experiencing spontaneous regressio...

The aim was to evaluate the effects of adding different functional monomers to experimental self-adhesive composites (SACs) on polymerization kinetics, cell metabolic activity, and sealing ability. SACs were formulated using urethane dimethacrylate as the base monomer and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate. Additionally, 10 wt.% of distinct functional monomers were added - 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phos...
Background Previous studies have demonstrated the feasibility of using an asthma app to support medication management and adherence but failed to compare with other measures currently used in clinical practice. However, in a clinical setting, any additional adherence measurement must be evaluated in the context of both the patient and physician perspectives so that it can also help improve the process of shared...
