Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) offers a more conservative treatment than total knee arthroplasty when osteoarthritis affects only one tibiofemoral knee compartment. Cemented UKA has become the gold standard due to its good functional outcomes and low revision rates. The most common reasons for revision with cemented UKA include aseptic loss, unexplained pain, and radiolucent lines.

- This study analyzed the organic components of fine particulate matter collected in urban Cairo over two months, highlighting the area's severe pollution levels.
- Key findings included significant contributions from cooking (31%) and biomass burning (18%), with newly identified pollutants such as phthalates linked to open waste burning.
- The research used advanced methods to determine the sources of organic carbon and assessed the associated uncertainties, providing insights into urban air quality and pollution sources in one of the world's most polluted cities.
Background And Objective: Clinicians must possess a comprehensive understanding of variations in canal morphology and configuration during endodontic procedures to enhance treatment success. This study aims to assess and analyze the canal configurations of maxillary first premolars using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography within the sub-population of Western Saudi Arabia.
Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, following the acquisition of ethical clearance from Batterjee Medical College in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, a retrospective examination of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans of maxillary first premolars in adult patients was conducted.
Greater Cairo, the largest megacity of the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region, is currently suffering from major aerosol pollution, posing a significant threat to public health. However, the main sources of pollution remain insufficiently characterized due to limited atmospheric observations. To bridge this knowledge gap, we conducted a continuous 2-month field study during the winter of 2019-2020 at an urban background site, documenting for the first time the chemical and physical properties of submicron (PM) aerosols.
