Long-term incompatibility of nutritional status and early childhood caries-A call to revamp perinatal and early childhood dietary care and follow-up.

Background And Aim: Dietary pattern and diet quality can influence the incidence of dental caries and can be indicated by decay missing filled (Dmf) scores in the primary dentition. This study aims to find the relationship of nutritional status and oral hygiene practices on Dmf scores of preschool children.

Materials And Methods: Semi-structured and self-administered questionnaires, distributed among 60 preschoolers' parents, were used to assess the demographic and diet related data.

A rare case of high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with oral and multiple extranodal manifestations.

Lymphomas are a group of malignant diseases affecting the lymphoreticular system. Lymphoma is the second most common neoplasm of the head and neck after squamous cell carcinoma, but the incidence of lymphomas in the oral cavity and orbit is rare. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is less predictable than Hodgkin's but has a greater predilection to extranodal tissues.

Iron(III) Coordinated Theranostic Polyprodrug with Sequential Receptor-Mitochondria Dual Targeting and T-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging Potency for Effective and Precise Chemotherapy.

The sequential cancer cell receptor and mitochondria dual-targeting single delivery agent deliver chemotherapeutic drug effectively and precisely at the targeted site has become a promising strategy to enhance the drug efficacy and suppressions of cancer cell drug resistance prominence. Herein, required specialty molecules like a chemotherapeutic drug [camptothecin (CPT)], mitochondriotropic segment (triphenyl phosphonium cation) receptor targeting ligand (biotin), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-contrast agent (iron-complex) were tethered to the polyprodrug, , using the ring-opening metathesis polymerization technique for potential chemotherapy and simultaneous MRI-based diagnosis. This amphiphilic polyprodrug spontaneously aggregated into nanospheres and exhibited remarkable T-weighted MRI proficiency.

Evaluation of Radiation Exposure in Open Dental Clinics Using Thermoluminescence Dosimeters and Questionnaires.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate radiation exposure in dental open clinics in King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences (KSAU-HS) using thermoluminescence dosimeters (TLDs) to check if it exceeds the annual assigned exposure limit and to assess students' practices regarding radiation protection measures and their knowledge regarding the application of digital remote-control settings and TLDs.

Materials And Methods: This pilot institutional-based observational study was conducted among the clinical year students and interns at KSAU-HS College of Dentistry open clinical areas using TLDs and questionnaires. Sixteen lithium fluoride TLDs (TLD-100) were distributed evenly in the clinical areas occupied by clinical year dental students and interns for 24 working days from September 15 to October 20, 2019.

Effectiveness of a reminder card system versus a mobile application to improve medication adherence among asthma patients in a tertiary care hospital.

Objectives: Asthma is a major public health problem affecting a large number of individuals worldwide. The effectiveness of medications depends on adherence to the instructions of the prescriber. This study aimed to assess and compare the effectiveness of a reminder card system versus a mobile application to improve the medication adherence of asthma patients in a tertiary care hospital.
