Managing tooth discolouration involves a range of different protocols for clinicians and patients in order to achieve an aesthetic result. There is an increasing public awareness in the appearance of their teeth and management of tooth discolouration may be inter-disciplinary and involve both vital and nonvital teeth. Vital teeth can be easily trea...

Coral bleaching, the breakdown of the coral-Symbiodiniaceae association has been identified as a major cause of coral reef decline worldwide. When symbiont functions are compromised, corals receive fewer photosynthetic products from their symbionts and suffer significant starvation along with changes in nutrient cycling. Not all coral species are e...

Turbidity from land-based runoff has been identified as a possible driver of coral bleaching refugia, as particulate matter in turbid habitats may block excessive irradiance and alter the food supply to corals during ocean heatwaves. However, negative effects of turbidity have also been documented worldwide, and high-resolution data across reef reg...

Laser hair removal (LHR) is a common practice with increasing use worldwide. Clinical and dermoscopic changes in melanocytic nevi after LHR have been reported but prospective studies are lacking. To describe dermoscopic changes of melanocytic nevi at different time points after LHR. Prospective study in a cohort of female patients undergoing diode ...

Various interactions between marine cyanobacteria and heterotrophic bacteria have been known, but the symbiotic relationships between Microcystis and heterotrophic bacteria remain unclear. An axenic M. aeruginosa culture (NIES-298) was quickly bleached after exponential growth, whereas a xenic M. aeruginosa culture (KW) showed a normal growth curve...

The breakdown of symbiotic mutualism between cnidarian hosts and dinoflagellate algae partners (i.e., bleaching) has been linked to an immune-like response pathway brought on by a nitro-oxidative burst, a symptom of thermal stress. Stress induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS)/reactive nitrogen species is a problem common to aerobic systems. In t...
It is thought that the active physiological regulation of the chemistry of a parent fluid is an important process in the biomineralization of scleractinian corals. Biological regulation of calcification fluid pH (pHCF) and other carbonate chemistry parameters ([CO32−]CF, DICCF, and ΩCF) may be challenged by CO2 driven acidification and temperature....

This paper reports on multiple stage bleaching and its effect on the mechanical and swelling properties of compressed wood (CW). The natural wood specimen was bleached with NaClO2 in five steps and three hot-pressing conditions. Their effects were investigated in morphologies: lignin content, alpha-cellulose content, compression ratio, mechanical p...

Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) – e.g., betaines – have a chemical structure related to that of the tertiary sulfonium compounds (TSCs) – e.g., dimethylsulfoniopropionate – explaining why these two classes of coral metabolites are often studied and interpreted together. Functionally, both QACs and TSCs play important roles in the photobiology ...
