Aim: Oral physicians frequently encounter patients having headache, mouth breathing issues and rarely cases of anosmia too. Deviated Nasal septum (DNS) has been known to be a causative factor for the above mentioned issues. Materials and Methods: A total of 1040 CBCT scans were selected retrospectiv...

In this work, a joint quadrature for numerical solution of the double integral is presented. This method is based on combining two rules of the same precision level to form a higher level of precision. Numerical results of the present method with a lower level of precision are presented and compare...

This work aims to investigate the average tool-work interface temperature for the HSS tool and AISI 1040 steel pair. A tool-work thermocouple is proposed for the measurement of temperature because of its simple construction in addition to the low cost. The machining process of AISI 1040 steel is con...

Introduction: Endodontic infections, particularly those caused by Enterococcus faecalis, are a major cause of treatment failure due to their resistance to conventional antimicrobial treatments. This study explores the use of silver nanoparticles to coat bacteriophages targeting E. faecalis, aiming t...

Aim: Presence of anatomic disparities inside the maxillary sinus, notably septae, has been described to increase the risk of sinus membrane damage in the course of sinus elevation technique. Materials and Methods: A total of 1160 CBCT scans (580 male and 580 female) aged between 25 to 70 years were...

Aim: This study aims to compare the efficacy of demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) combined with 0.75% boric acid gel versus DFDBA alone in managing subclass-B furcation defects. Methods: A split-mouth clinical trial design was adopted, involving 20 sites with bilateral Grade B furcat...

The management of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is influenced by the lung’s ability to re-expand following fluid drainage. Lung entrapment can complicate this process and may be predicted using pleural manometry. Recently, a novel lung ultrasound (LUS) marker—the sinusoidal sign—has emerged as a...

Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is a chronic, broad, diffuse, and non-inflammatory musculoskeletal condition. Several studies were conducted on the effects of physical activity (PA) and strategies to promote it in people with FMS. The resulting scoping review will provide an analysis of the strategies b...

Background: Mycobacterium lepare-induced leprosy continues to pose a significant public health threat. Drug-resistant strains pose a major challenge for effective management, necessitating molecular studies to identify resistance-associated mutations and guide appropriate therapy. Methods: A cross-s...

Measurements of the production yields of charm baryons (Λc+) and charm mesons (D0) in proton-lead collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 8.16 TeV are presented. The data were collected in 2016 with the CMS experiment and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 186 nb−1. The Λc+ b...
