Article Synopsis
- Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is widely used in dentistry due to its compact size, low cost, and lower radiation exposure compared to traditional CT, providing valuable 3D images for various clinical purposes.
- A study at Pure Smile Dental Center analyzed data from 70 patients to explore incidental findings in the maxillary sinus during CBCT scans, with a significant number of patients showing abnormalities such as opacification and sinusitis.
- Results indicated that 60% of the patients had maxillary sinus findings, with females showing a higher incidence of these conditions compared to males.
Background: The use of ultrasound-based measurements to determine renal size has proven valuable in the diagnosis of renal function and associated disorders. The dimensions of the abdominal organs are affected by an individual's body age, height, sex, and weight. The objective of this study was to establish the standard sonographic parameters for renal dimensions and to determine the correlation between body measurements and renal dimensions in a population of healthy adults residing in Jazan City, Saudi Arabia.

- The study included 93 individuals, revealing a significant portion (62.4%) had knee OA, with a higher prevalence in females and among older age groups, as well as a notable correlation between obesity and knee OA severity.
- Despite vitamin D deficiency being common in this population, the research found that age and BMI, rather than vitamin D levels, were significant predictors of the severity of knee OA, emphasizing the need for monitoring vitamin D for overall joint health. *
This work was carried out mainly to analyze radioactive elements 40 K, 232 Th, and 226 Ra and non-radioactive elements in some granitic rocks and study their health risk for humans and non-humans. Radioisotope activity was evaluated using a high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector, and various radiological hazard indices were calculated. We also measured some non-radioactive elements using x-ray fluorescence analysis and performed Pearson correlation analysis to examine the relationships between the radionuclides and the non-radioactive elements.
