Evaluation of the Frequency of Anatomic Variations of the Paranasal Sinus Region by Using Multidetector Computed Tomography: A Hospital-Based Cross-Sectional Study.

Background And Aims: The sinus anatomy should be well-understood by the sinus surgeons to carry out functional endoscopic sinus surgery carefully. That's why CT scans are vital to provide essential clarity and accuracy for comprehensive presurgical planning with minimal risks. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of anatomic variations of the paranasal sinus region by using multidetector computed tomography.

The role of antenatal education on maternal self-efficacy, fear of childbirth, and birth outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Antenatal education programs aim to prepare expectant mothers for childbirth and early parenthood. This meta-analysis assessed the impact of these programs on maternal psychological outcomes and birth experiences, focusing on childbirth self-efficacy, fear of childbirth, and maternal and neonatal outcomes, including rates of vaginal delivery, cesarean section, Apgar scores, and birth weight.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, SCOPUS, and Cochrane Library until July 2024.

Clinical outcomes of the BioMime™ morph coronary stent system for long (30 to ≤56 mm length) coronary lesions: Three-year follow-up of the Morpheus Global Registry.

Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of long coronary artery lesions (CAL) presents a puzzle, often requiring multiple stents. As the arteries twist and narrow, this becomes even more challenging with issues like potential distal overexpansion and proximal under expansion, and edge dissections. The study aims to assess the safety and performance of BioMime™ Morph sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) in individuals with long CAL.

Exploring cotton plant compounds for novel treatments against brain-eating Naegleria fowleri: An In-silico approach.

To find potential inhibitors of Naegleria fowleri S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase (NfSAHH), a brain-eating parasite, structure-based drug design was adopted. N. fowlerica causes primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), a fatal central nervous system (CNS) disorder if untreated.

Prediction of Ablation Index and Lesion Size Index for Local Impedance Drop-Guided Ablation.

(1) : The effectiveness of RF ablation for PVI depends on the lesion location and size to achieve continuous and durable lesion lines. AI and LSI are widely accepted lesion metrics for guiding the ablation procedure. LI dynamics is another parameter that guides PVI and does not rely on input variables.
