Bioengineering Innovations in Global Dental Infection Control: Applications and Adaptations in Clinical Settings.

Introduction And Aims: Dental practices pose a high risk of microbial contamination due to frequent exposure to bodily fluids like saliva and blood. Bioengineering innovations have emerged as vital tools to enhance infection control in dental settings. This review aims to assess the global applications and effectiveness of these innovations, particularly focusing on antimicrobial biomaterials, sterilization techniques, and personal protective equipment (PPE).

Incidence of Proteinuria Post Radical Nephrectomy in Comparison to Partial Nephrectomy: A Comparative Study.

Objectives The objective of this study is to enhance understanding of the incidence and impact of proteinuria following nephrectomy, to guide clinical decision-making, and to optimize post-operative monitoring strategies. Specifically, the study seeks to compare the incidence of proteinuria in patients undergoing radical nephrectomy and those receiving partial nephrectomy, thereby contributing valuable insights into post-surgical outcomes that could inform treatment approaches and improve patient care. Methods It is a retrospective cohort design, analyzing clinical data from patients who underwent radical or partial nephrectomy in King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between 2014 and 2022.

Leveraging transfer learning-driven convolutional neural network-based semantic segmentation model for medical image analysis using MRI images.

Recognition and segmentation of brain tumours (BT) using MR images are valuable and tedious processes in the healthcare industry. Earlier diagnosis and localization of BT provide timely options to select effective treatment plans for the doctors and can save lives. BT segmentation from Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) is considered a big challenge owing to the difficulty of BT tissues, and segmenting them from the healthier tissue is challenging when manual segmentation is done through radiologists.

Effect of telerehabilitation assessment for adults with musculoskeletal conditions on access to care beyond the COVID-19 pandemic: A retrospective case-control analysis.

Background: Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions are the leading cause of disability worldwide. In MSK care, access to physical therapy is a major issue. The effectiveness of telerehabilitation phone assessment in improving access to care for MSK conditions has not yet been established in Saudi Arabia.
