Efficiency and Security Evaluation of Lightweight Cryptographic Algorithms for Resource-Constrained IoT Devices.

The IoT has become an integral part of the technological ecosystem that we all depend on. The increase in the number of IoT devices has also brought with it security concerns. Lightweight cryptography (LWC) has evolved to be a promising solution to improve the privacy and confidentiality aspect of IoT devices.

Effect of heat sterilization and chemical method of sterilization on the polyvinyl siloxane impression material. A comparative study.

Background: Dental impression is a crucial part of the process of constructing a well-fitting prosthesis. In the clinical scenario, impressions can act as a vehicle for the transfer of bacteria and fungi. Therefore, an attempt was made to evaluate the dimensional accuracy of the newly introduced polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) impression material upon autoclaving and comparing it to the traditional means of chemical disinfection.

Tumor markers in oral cancer: A review.

Tumor markers are the substances produced in response to the presence of cancer either by the body itself or by the cancer cells. These markers mostly are the proteins that are produced at a greater rate by the cancer cells. Increased levels of these substances can be detected in urine, blood, or body tissues of the patients with certain types of cancer.
