Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the facial artery, a key blood supply source for the head and neck, aiming to map its branches and measure their dimensions in relation to face and neck landmarks.
- Conducted on 60 hemifaces from 30 male cadavers, the research used statistical methods to analyze the diameter and length of the facial artery branches, noting significant values for the superior labial, inferior labial, lateral nasal, angular, and submental branches.
- The results revealed no major side-to-side differences in most branches, except for the submental artery, which showed a notable variation, providing valuable anatomical insights for surgical planning, particularly for the Indian population.
In recent years, overexplorations of ore and the growth of industries are the prime factors in the release of heavy metals in environments. As a result, the food crops and water bodies are contaminated with metals which may have several adverse effects on the health of humans and other living species. These metals and metalloids, such as Zn, Cu, Mn, Ni, Cr, Pb, Cd, and As, upset the biochemical pathways of metabolite synthesis in living organisms and contribute to the etiology of different diseases.

This review provides a comprehensive analysis of emerging fabrication technologies, including photolithography, soft lithography, 3D printing, electron-beam lithography (EBL), wet/dry etching, injection molding, focused ion beam (FIB) milling, laser micromachining, and micro-milling. Each of these methods offers unique advantages in terms of scalability, precision, and cost-effectiveness, enabling the creation of highly customized micro- and nanochannel structures.

Three groups of patients with T2DM (n = 12 per group) with an LV ejection fraction (EF) ≤50% received incremental infusions of β-hydroxybutyrate (β-OH-B) for 3-6 h to increase the plasma β-OH-B concentration throughout the physiologic (groups I and II) and pharmacologic (group III) range. Cardiac MRI was performed at baseline and after each β-OH-B infusion to provide measures of cardiac function.
