Article Synopsis
  • People with chronic illnesses, like those on dialysis, often have a lower quality of life, especially in countries like Cameroon.
  • A study showed that most patients (about 76%) had low health-related quality of life scores, which means they weren't feeling very well overall.
  • Many patients also faced social challenges, like not being able to attend school or find jobs, and their relationships often suffered because of their health issues.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study is a randomized, controlled, double-blinded trial that investigates how different cavity designs (inlay vs. overlay) affect the performance of resin composite restorations in teeth that have undergone endodontic treatment, evaluated over two years using Modified USPHS criteria.
  • - A total of 30 participants were divided into two groups, with one receiving restorations without cuspal reduction (inlay) and the other with cuspal reduction (overlay), and various follow-up assessments were conducted at 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months.
  • - Results indicated that the overlay design showed superior marginal adaptation and lower rates of discoloration and fractures compared to the inlay design at both the 6 and 12-month marks

Introduction: Many factors contribute to the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), an umbrella term for several different heart diseases, including inflammation. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is an important immune modulator that has been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of different heart diseases, so understanding pathogenic variants of the gene is important for risk stratification. We therefore conducted a meta-analysis to investigate whether the -173G/C (rs755622) polymorphism is associated with CVD.

Through this paper, the authors propose using the quantum cluster equilibrium (QCE) theory to reinvestigate ammonia clusters in the liquid phase. The ammonia clusters from size monomer to hexadecamer were considered to simulate the liquid ammonia in this approach. The clusterset used to model the liquid ammonia is an ensemble of different structures of ammonia clusters.

In this paper, we study the nonlinear dynamics of the MARCKS protein between cytosol and cytoplasmic membrane through the modulational instability phenomenon. The reaction-diffusion generic model used here is firstly transformed into a cubic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. Then, modulational instability (MI) is carried out in order to derive the MI criteria.
