Brain-wide activation involved in 15 mA transcranial alternating current stimulation in patients with first-episode major depressive disorder by Jie Wang, Qing Xue, Wenfeng Zhao, Huang Wang, Haixia Leng, Mao Peng, Xiukun Jin, Liucen Tan, Keming Gao, Hongxing Wang, Baoquan Min

“…Background Although 15 mA transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) has a therapeutic effect on depression, the activations of brain structures in humans accounting for this tACS configuration remain largely unknown.Aims To investigate which intracranial brain structures are engaged in the tACS at 77.5 Hz and 15 mA, delivered via the forehead and the mastoid electrodes in the human brain.Methods Actual human head models were built using the magnetic resonance imagings of eight outpatient volunteers with drug-naïve, first-episode major depressive disorder and then used to perform the electric field distributions with SimNIBS software.Results The electric field distributions of the sagittal, coronal and axial planes showed that the bilateral frontal lobes, bilateral temporal lobes, hippocampus, cingulate, hypothalamus, thalamus, amygdala, cerebellum and brainstem were visibly stimulated by the 15 mA tACS procedure.Conclusions Brain-wide activation, including the cortex, subcortical structures, cerebellum and brainstem, is involved in the 15 mA tACS intervention for first-episode major depressive disorder. …”

Effect of different ceramic materials and dentin sealing on occlusal veneers bond strength and fracture resistance by Dina Mohamed Nasr, Rewaa Gaber AboElHassan

“…Abstract Background The effect of immediate dentin sealing (IDS) or delayed dentin sealing (DDS) on bond strength of different ceramic occlusal veneer restorations, was not examined yet, but the digital quantification of surface area of preparations helped in the calculation of the actual bond strength of these restorations, besides that, dentin sealing could influence the fracture resistance values of different ceramic occlusal veneer restorations. …”

La restauración ecológica clásica y los retos de la actualidad: La migración asistida como estrategia de adaptación al cambio climático by Pilar A. Gómez-Ruiz, Roberto Lindig-Cisneros

“…Como una estrategia de conservación de especies se ha propuesto la migración asistida, que es la translocación de especies a nuevas localidades fuera de su rango de distribución conocido. En el contexto actual de pérdida de diversidad y de ecosistemas, esta estrategia podría ser fundamental para la conformación de nuevas comunidades que luego pueden convertirse en nuevos ecosistemas, donde puedan persistir especies fundamentales para la dinámica de los ecosistemas y, al mismo tiempo, se recupere función, estructura y resiliencia. …”
