Introduction: There is a multitude of evidence supporting the use of manual and manipulative therapy techniques for patients with cervicogenic headache (CGH). However, evidence in finding and comparing the efficacy of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization with manual therapy in unilateral cervicogenic headache is lacking. Therefore, the objective of the study is to find and compare the long term effects of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization along with spinal manipulation therapy in patients with cervicogenic headache.

- New copper (Cu) nanodots, called Cu(II)NDs@CFG, were created using the biopolymeric polysaccharide galactomannan in a sustainable one-step process.
- These nanocatalysts were extensively characterized through various techniques, showcasing their innovative use of galactomannan as a template for the Cu nanodots.
- The Cu(II)NDs@CFG showed promise as a nanocatalyst for efficient and eco-friendly synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones/thiones, avoiding toxic solvents and expensive catalysts while enhancing yield and reducing reaction time.
In this study, we have first time investigated the synthesis of copper nanocatalyst by using biopolymer galactomannan, naturally extracted from Cassia fistula pods. The methodology involved for the preparation of copper nanocatalyst is economical, efficient, environment friendly, and did not involve further processing for stabilization or reduction of copper nanoparticles. The morphology and structural characterization of the nanocatalyst was performed by using different techniques such as FT-IR, H NMR, SEM, EDX, HR-TEM, XRD, XPS, ICP-MS, BET, and TGA analysis.

- Dental technicians' pneumoconiosis is caused by exposure to drugs and leads to lung inflammation and fibrosis; therefore, understanding awareness of this condition among dental professionals in Saudi Arabia is important.
- A survey involving 300 dental students and technicians was conducted through an online questionnaire to assess their knowledge and willingness to learn about pneumoconiosis.
- Results showed that 34.8% of participants were unaware of pneumoconiosis, with significant differences in awareness between genders, as females exhibited less knowledge compared to males.
Role of virtual reality distraction technique to improve chest burns with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) following smoke inhalation in middle-aged adults - A randomized controlled study.
Burns
November 2023
Background: Burns of the chest region constitute a common burn and develops skin contractures around the thorax region. Inhalation of toxic gases and chemical irritants during the fire leads to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Breathing exercises are painful but are needed to help counteract contractures and increase lung capacity.
