This study investigates the exponential stretching flow of a bioconvective magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) hybrid nanofluid in porous medium taking into consideration thermal radiations, heat generation, chemical reaction, porosity, and dissipation. Moreover, microorganisms are present in the fluid, so the fluid is more stable, which is crucial in biotechnology, biomicrosystems, and bio-nano coolant systems.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to present a case of maxillary aspergillosis with unusual clinical presentation and imaging findings.
Background: The range of lesions and conditions that affect the maxillary sinus is wide and vast. This necessitates a dynamic multidisciplinary approach for proper diagnosis and effective management.
Aims: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a complex process that affects the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The multifactorial process is of unknown etiology and has many manifestations and thus many management options. Photobiomodulation therapy has been suggested for management of TMD, despite the lack of understanding of its exact mechanism.

Aim: Despite the rising popularity of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging in the field of dentistry, very few studies have addressed the questions of which dental specialties most frequently request CBCT images and which CBCT indications are most popular. This study attempts to answer both of these questions.
Methods And Materials: CBCT request forms spanning a 1-year period were analyzed for data.
To determine the prevalence of common sleep problems among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and their relationship with the disease activity and quality of life. The study sample consisted of 101 patients who attended a rheumatology clinic at a university hospital between October 2015 and May 2016. All subjects were clinically examined and interviewed by physicians using a questionnaire.

Methods: Cases with jaw pathologies that have diagnostically adequate histopathologic samples and radiographic examinations were reviewed retrospectively. Two board-certified oral and maxillofacial pathologists (OMFP) independently determined the histopathologic diagnosis, while two board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologists (OMFR) determined the radiographic interpretations independently.
To investigate changes in the effective radiation dose (E) in relation to variations in voxel (VOX) size settings and the field-of-view (FOV) centralization. Methods: This cross-sectional dosimetry study used nanoDot OSLD dosimeters placed at 25 pre-determined sites in the head and neck slices of a RANDO male phantom to measure the absorbed radiation. The imaging scans took place at King Abdulaziz University Dental Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia between September 2016 and May 2017 using the i-CAT classic cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) unit.

Objective: The aim of this study was to objectively quantify the topographic relation of the mandibular canals, impacted third molars, and cortical plates using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Study Design: A retrospective chart review was conducted using the database of a university-based imaging service. Two calibrated reviewers examined the CBCT images of 100 cases scheduled for mandibular third molar removal.
Osteoma cutis (OC) is a rare benign disorder where osseous nodules form in the reticular layer of normal skin. These nodules are formed by the deposition of lamellar bone and are characterized by osteocytes in the core and osteoclasts around the periphery. Interpretation of osteoma cutis cases has always been challenging especially using conventional two-dimensional (2D) radiographs, owing to difficulty in localization.
