Vitamin D, Cholesterol, and DXA Value Relationship with Bimaxillary Cone Beam CT Values.

We evaluated the correlation that Vitamin D (Vit D), cholesterol levels, and T- and Z-scores of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans have with cone beam computed tomography values assessed in the anterior and posterior regions of maxillary and mandibular jaws. In total, 187 patients were recruited for this clinical study. Patients' ages ranged between 45 and 65 years.

Towards a Smart Environment: Optimization of WLAN Technologies to Enable Concurrent Smart Services.

In this research paper, the spatial distributions of five different services-Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Video Conferencing (VC), Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), and Electronic Mail-are investigated using three different approaches: circular, random, and uniform approaches. The amount of each service varies from one to another. In certain distinct settings, which are collectively referred to as mixed applications, a variety of services are activated and configured at predetermined percentages.

Quantitative Evaluation of Dental Students' Perceptions of the Roleplay-Video Teaching Modality in Clinical Courses of Dentistry: A Pilot Study.

In the modern era of dentistry, role modeling/roleplaying is one of the most prevalent and recommended methods of dental education. Working on video production projects and using student-centred learning also help students create feelings of ownership and self-esteem. This study aimed to compare students' perceptions of roleplay videos among genders, different disciplines of dentistry, and different levels of dental students.

Machine Learning Approach for Metabolic Syndrome Diagnosis Using Explainable Data-Augmentation-Based Classification.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of risk factors including hypertension, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and abdominal obesity. Metabolism-related risk factors include diabetes and heart disease. MetS is also linked to numerous cancers and chronic kidney disease.
