Anamnesis And Clinical Examination: A 59-year-old female patient with an unremarkable medical history presented with watery diarrhea, severe lower abdominal pain, and fever for approximately 7 days. Physical examination revealed a distended abdomen, bowel sounds were absent, and there was an acute abdomen with generalized guarding and significantly elevated inflammatory markers.

Diagnosis: Abdominal computed tomography showed significant ascites and signs of peritonitis.

Objective: The use of clear aligners (CAs) for orthodontic treatment has substantially increased in recent decades. However, limited empirical evidence exists regarding their potential effects on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The aim of this study was to assess the effect of maxillary molar distalization on the positional and dimensional TMJ parameters between CAs and conventional fixed orthodontic appliances (FAs) in skeletal class II malocclusion.

Article Synopsis
  • * Patients also suffer from a range of symptoms like cognitive issues, muscle pain, sleep problems, and immune dysfunction.
  • * Diagnosing ME/CFS is tough due to the lack of clear biomarkers, symptom overlap with other conditions, and inconsistent diagnostic criteria, making this literature review essential for understanding the illness and its potential treatments.

Article Synopsis
  • Exercise intolerance after a pulmonary embolism can stem from lingering blockages in the lungs, leading to a condition known as chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease, potentially with pulmonary hypertension.
  • The case study showcases a methodical way to assess functional limitations resulting from these blockages.
  • It highlights the importance of using cardiopulmonary exercise testing to evaluate the severity and impact of the residual obstruction on exercise capacity.

Article Synopsis
  • High-grade graphene exhibits excellent thermal properties, making it suitable for energy applications and the development of nanofluids.
  • Few-layer graphene (FLG) nanofluids were produced using a green method involving ultrasound-assisted mechanical exfoliation of graphite in water, resulting in stable and high-quality materials.
  • Thermal tests revealed that FLG nanofluids have up to 20% higher thermal conductivity than water, with minimal increases in viscosity, and factors like FLG dimensions and concentration influencing thermal performance.
