Introduction: Oral cancer has emerged as a significant public health issue, with 90% of instances because of avoidable causes. Smokeless tobacco usage is thought to be a substantial source of cytological alterations in the oral mucosa, and snuff (Shamma) is often used in Saudi Arabia. In this study, we investigated community awareness of Shamma as a cause of oral cancer in the Jazan region's general population.

Proper idler maintenance prevents failures, reduces downtime, cuts costs, and improves reliability. Most studies on idler fault detection rely on supervised methods, which depend on large labelled datasets for training.

- Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have promising properties for biomedicine but can be toxic to cardiac tissues, with the 10 nm size being the most harmful compared to larger sizes (20 and 50 nm).
- Quercetin (Qur), a natural flavonoid, has demonstrated protective effects against the toxicity induced by 10 nm GNPs in heart tissues.
- The study highlights that smaller GNPs can cause significant cardiac injury and apoptosis, while Qur treatment can mitigate these adverse effects.
Article Synopsis
- Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer, mainly affecting older males with comorbidities like diabetes and hypertension, and was studied in 73 patients at a hospital in Qassim, Saudi Arabia.
- The research showed that clear cell RCC is the most prevalent type, found in 60.3% of cases, and many tumors were moderately aggressive (Fuhrman grade 2), with 45.2% diagnosed incidentally.
- The primary treatment for RCC was surgical, predominantly laparoscopic, highlighting the need for better early diagnosis and screening strategies to manage the rising incidence of RCC in the region.
Purpose: To measure the effect of daily immersion in varying beverages (distilled water, tea, carbonated beverage, and orange juice) on surface roughness and color stability of 3D-printed denture base resins.
Materials And Methods: 160 acrylic resin discs (15 × 2.5 mm) were made from heat-polymerized (HP), and 3D-printed resins (FormLabs, ASIGA, and NextDent).
