A 5-year comprehensive evaluation of maxillofacial injuries in polytrauma patients at a tertiary hospital - an epidemiological study.

Objectives: To report and analyze the pattern of maxillofacial injuries in trauma victims and to define the role of a maxillofacial surgeon in an emergency trauma care team.

Materials And Methods: Trauma patients reported and reporting to the casualty of a tertiaryhospital with facial injuries and other suspected concomitant injuries in the body were included in this study. The complete medical and radiographic records of each patient were reviewed and data was collected in a standard proforma in this 5-year clinical study (3 year of retrospective and 2 year of prospective study).

Seed nano-priming with multiple nanoparticles enhanced the growth parameters of lettuce and mitigated cadmium (Cd) bio-toxicity: An advanced technique for remediation of Cd contaminated environments.

Seed nano-priming can be used as an advanced technology for enhancing seed germination, plant growth, and crop productivity; however, the potential role of seed nano-priming in ameliorative cadmium (Cd) bio-toxicity under Cd stress has not yet been sufficiently investigated. Therefore, in this study we investigated the beneficial impacts of seed priming with low (L) and high (H) concentrations of nanoparticles including nSiO (50/100 mg L), nTiO (20/60 mg L), nZnO (50/100 mg L), nFeO (100/200 mg L), nCuO (50/100 mg L), and nCeO (50/100 mg L) on lettuce growth and antioxidant enzyme activities aiming to assess their efficacy for enhancing plant growth and reducing Cd phytotoxicity. The results showed a significant increase in plant growth, biomass production, antioxidant enzyme activities, and photosynthetic efficiency in lettuce treated with nano-primed nSiH + Cd (100 mg L), nTiH + Cd (60 mg L), and nZnL + Cd (50 mg L) under Cd stress.

Influence of Zirconium (Zr) Substitution on the Crystal Structure and Optical and Dielectric Properties of SrMg(SnZr)O Ceramics.

In this work, new compositions of SrMg(SnZr)O 0.00 ≤ ≤ 0.06 ceramics are designed and synthesized by the conventional solid-state route.

Effect of foliar application of nanoparticles on growth, physiology, and antioxidant enzyme activities of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) plants under cadmium toxicity.

Nanotechnology has attracted the interest of scientists due to its wide range of application specifically in agriculture. Nanoparticles (NPs) may act as a promising materials to alleviate cadmium (Cd) stress in plants. This study aims to assess the impact of multiple nanoparticles including nSiO (50 mg L:100 mg L), nTiO (20 mg L:60 mg L), nZnO (50 mg L:100 mg L), nFeO (100 mg L:200 mg L), nCuO (50 mg L:100 mg L), and nCeO (50 mg L:100 mg L) in combination with CdCl (5 µM) to mitigate Cd toxicity in lettuce through foliar application in hydroponic solution.

Antioxidant effect of spirulina in chronic periodontitis.

Background: Production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by polymorpho nuclear neutrophils occurs in chronic periodontitis. These ROS are mainly involved in bacterial destruction. However, extracellular release of same results in destruction of surrounding tissue.
