Article Synopsis
- Abnormal tau protein behavior, including hyperphosphorylation and aggregation, is a major feature of tauopathies like Alzheimer's disease, leading to neurodegeneration.
- The interaction between oxidative stress and tau pathology is complex, with both factors contributing to neuronal damage through impaired microtubule stability and transport.
- Further research into oxidative stress sources, such as microglial cells, could improve our understanding of tauopathies and aid in developing new treatment strategies.
Background Infections can spread within the dental clinic through many routes. Interrupting this transmission of infection within the dental office is an important part of the dental practice. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding precautions against droplet and airborne infections among dental students in South India.

Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) is a progressive form of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and is characterized by liver steatosis, inflammation, different degrees of fibrosis, and hepatocellular injury. The inflammatory mediators play a vital role in the transition of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver (NAFL) to Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), which further leads to Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) and becomes a cause of liver transplantation.

Dental professionals have a chance of identifying such cases in their very initial stages through routinely prescribed dental radiographs. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of gender and age on different parameters of alveolar bone loss using orthopantomograph (OPG) as an aid to identify patients with low bone mineral density (BMD).
