Article Synopsis
  • * ELISA has been suggested as an easier alternative but struggles with antigen availability, particularly RABV glycoprotein, which requires high biosafety levels for use.
  • * The research tested insect cell extracts producing RABV glycoprotein and found it effectively detected rabies antibodies in vaccinated dogs, with a 90.48% sensitivity and 80.00% specificity, making it suitable for quick screening and monitoring vaccination efforts.

Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluated how effectively the Endo-Irrigator Plus (CWAIS) system removes debris from root canals in primary teeth compared to traditional irrigation methods.
  • Twenty-five primary mandibular first molars were tested in five different groups, using various irrigation techniques and analyzing the results using environmental scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
  • The findings revealed that groups using the Endo-Irrigator Plus showed significantly better debris removal, especially in the apical third of the canal, compared to those using only positive pressure irrigation.

Background The use of endodontic files multiple times can cause fatigue in them and can lead to their separation in the root canal. The purpose of this study was to achieve a reduction in cyclic fatigue stress in a newly introduced nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary single-file system. The study aimed to determine whether cryotherapy could help reduce cyclic fatigue and stress on rotary files after multiple uses during root canal treatment.

The clinicopathological spectrum of undifferentiated round cell sarcomas of bone and soft tissues is expanding after the 5th edition of the WHO classification. A 23-year-old male patient presented with a lump in his left thigh of 3 months' duration. Radiological examination revealed a well-defined, solid-cystic lobulated, soft tissue lesion in the proximal medial region of his left thigh, measuring 7.
