Necrosis of pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland with acute and chronic arteriolar occlusion.

Pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland (PALG) is a benign neoplasm typically presenting with gradual, painless globe displacement and/or lid swelling. We report an atypical case of PALG in a 53-year old male presenting acutely, mimicking orbital cellulitis. Imaging demonstrated an extraconal rim-enhancing soft-tissue lesion medial to the left lacrimal gland, involving superior rectus and levator palpebrae superioris.

Cracking the code: the clinical and molecular impact of aminopyridines; a review (2019-2024).

Aminopyridines belong to a class of compounds that are monoamino and diamino derivatives of pyridine. They work primarily by blocking voltage-gated potassium channels in a dose-dependent manner. Essential heterocycles used extensively in synthetic, natural products, and medicinal chemistry are aminopyridine and its derivatives.

Helping people with psychosis with a low-cost intervention DIALOG+: protocol for the economic evaluation in a randomised control trial in India and Pakistan.

Background: Approximately 69%-89% of people with severe mental illnesses, particularly psychosis, experience a treatment gap in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) due to factors such as low public spending on health and weak healthcare systems. The PIECEs project aims to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a solution-focused resource-oriented approach (DIALOG+) for improving the quality of life and mental well-being of people with psychosis in India and Pakistan.

Methods: The research design of this analysis is an economic evaluation piggybacked on the PIECEs randomised control trial to test the feasibility of DIALOG+ in India and Pakistan.

Phase transformation and metallurgical characterization of heat-treated nickel-titanium rotary instruments using differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, and energy dispersive spectrometry.

Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the phase transformation behavior and elemental analysis of thermomechanical-treated nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary instruments, TruNatomy (Dentsply Sirona), HyFlex CM (coltene, Whaledent), and Neoendo Flex (Orikam healthcare India), using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry.

Materials And Methods: A total of 18 NiTi rotary instruments, TruNatomy, Hyflex CM, Neoendo Flex, taper. 04, size 25 (except TruNatomy, size 26) were selected and were divided into three groups ( = 6).

Integrated analysis of long non‑coding RNA megacluster, microRNA‑132 and microRNA‑133a and their implications for cardiovascular risk and kidney failure progression in diabetic patients.

Inefficient control of elevated blood sugar levels can lead to certain health complications such as diabetic nephropathy (DN) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The identification of effective biomarkers for monitoring diabetes was performed in the present study. The present study aimed to investigate the implications of long non-coding RNA megacluster (lnc-MGC), microRNA (miR)-132 and miR-133a, and their correlation with lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) levels to identify biomarkers for the early diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, induced DN and CVD.
