Systemic Factors Affecting Healing in Dentistry.

Healing process in the oral cavity is influenced by a range of systemic factors. More specifically, patient health status, medications, habits, and nutritional state play crucial roles in dental healing. Additionally, the body's immune response, inflammation, and overall well-being are key determinants in wound repair.

The enigma of sleep: Implications of sleep neuroscience for the dental clinician and patient.

Background: Sleep disturbances have been shown to result in considerable morbidity and mortality. It is important for dental clinicians to understand the neuroscience behind sleep disorders.

Types Of Studies Reviewed: The authors conducted a search of the literature published from January 1990 through March 2024 of sleep medicine-related articles, with a focus on neuroscience.

Optimization, kinetics, and pathways of pharmaceutical pollutant degradation using solar Fenton technique.

Solar Fenton is an important and extensively used advanced oxidation process (AOP) to degrade pharmaceutical pollutants. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of simultaneous degradation of the mixed pollutants (amoxicillin, acetaminophen, and ciprofloxacin) for an aqueous solution using the solar Fenton process. Operating parameters such as pH, iron doses, HO doses, pollutant concentrations, and time were studied.

Needlestick injuries in dentistry: Time to revisit.

Background: Blood-borne pathogens (BBPs) are infectious microorganisms that are found in human blood and can cause diseases in humans. Health care workers such as physicians, surgeons, nurses, dentists, dental students, dental assistants, laboratory technicians, personnel handling infectious waste, and other health care employees are at increased risk of exposure to these pathogens. Percutaneous injuries from needles or other sharp objects are the major sources of BBPs in the workplace.

Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using leaf extract and evaluation of its anticancer efficacy against HeLa cell line.

Background: Cervical cancer continues to be the leading cause of death worldwide despite the availability of many therapeutic options. Biogenic synthesis of metal nanoparticles paves a new way for the development of targeted drug delivery modalities of cancer therapeutics.

Objective: In this study, we demonstrate the efficacy of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles from methanolic leaf extract of as an anticancer agent used against cervical cancer cell line HeLa.

Giant Cell Arteritis: A Case-Based Narrative Review of the Literature.

Purpose Of Review: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a chronic, inflammatory condition, primarily affecting the medium and larger arteries. The purpose of this narrative review is to describe GCA in the context of headache and facial pain, based on a case and the available current literature. Understanding the etiology, pathophysiology, the associated conditions, and the differential diagnoses is important in managing GCA.

Combination of Probiotics and Natural Compounds to Treat Multiple Sclerosis via Warburg Effect.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). It is an auto-immune disorder. Its usual symptoms are unique to each person.
