In this study, five seagrass species Halodule uninervis, Thalassia hemprichii, Enhalus acoroides, Cymodocea serrulata, and Syringodium isoetifolium collected from the Mandapam coastal region of Rameswaram (Palk Bay region), Tamil Nadu, India, were selected to identify the antioxidant-rich proteins/peptides. The primary objective was to identify the proteins/peptides present in these seagrass filtrates extracted by using four different pH-based buffer extracts and to assess their antioxidant activity. Among the various buffer extracts, 0.

The major cause of various neurodegenerative diseases includes protein aggregation, oxidative stress and inflammation. Over the last decade, there has been a gradual inclination of neurological research in order to find drugs that can prevent, slow down, or treat these diseases.

Cervical cancer is a significant health problem worldwide, and early detection and treatment are critical to improving patient outcomes. To address this challenge, a deep learning (DL)-based cervical classification system is proposed using 3D convolutional neural network and Vision Transformer (ViT) module. The proposed model leverages the capability of 3D CNN to extract spatiotemporal features from cervical images and employs the ViT model to capture and learn complex feature representations.

Materials And Methods: A total of 60 samples were prepared on a stainless steel die (American Dental Association specification no. 19 and International Standard of Organization - 4823).
Background: Restoring the vertical dimension is a critical procedure in prosthetic dentistry. Anterior facial height has a significant impact on the length of the ramus. Patients with deep bite will exhibit a shorter lower facial height; hence, restoring the vertical dimension esthetically without altering the facial form is highly challenging.

Materials & Methods: Multiple linear regression model of warfarin pharmacokinetics was developed from the dataset of patients (n = 199). Pymol based in silico models were developed for the genetic variants.
Background: The aim of this investigation was to compare the effectiveness of 3% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 2% chlorhexidine, 1% peracetic acid, and 10% povidone-iodine in the rapid disinfection of Resilon (Pentron Clinical Technologies, LLC, Wallingford, CT) and gutta-percha cones contaminated with Enterococcus faecalis and Bacillus subtilis.
Methods: Two hundred fifty-six samples consisting of 128 gutta-percha cones and 128 Resilon cones were used in this study. The materials were tested for disinfection according to the type of solution (3% NaOCl, 2% chlorhexidine, 1% peracetic acid, or 10% povidone-iodine), the time of exposure to each solution (1 or 5 minutes), and the type of microorganisms (E.
