Aim To evaluate and compare the fracture toughness and flexural strength of interim fixed partial dentures reinforced with carbon, glass, and Kevlar nanofibers. Materials and methods This study explored the effect of reinforcing poly methyl methacrylate with carbon, glass, and Kevlar fibers on its fracture toughness and flexural strength. A total of 120 samples were prepared, divided into two groups of 60 samples each, with one group tested for fracture toughness and the other for flexural strength.

Although the disease has been described for a century, very few descriptions in literature are available. This is due to a lack of awareness among treating physicians about the disease entity as well as the self-limiting course of the disease.

- Humans and animals are at risk of avian influenza, which could lead to a pandemic from a new virus that spreads effectively between humans.
- The study conducted a meta-analysis on three microarray datasets to identify gene expression related to avian influenza, discovering 1,284 common differentially expressed genes.
- Key findings included important biological pathways related to immune response and specific hub genes, which could provide insights for developing better treatments for the disease.
Estimation of the Risk of Hearing Loss in Neonates with Hyperbilirubinemia in the Mysuru District Using Double Stage Double Screening Method.
Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
December 2024
The study aimed to assess the risk of hearing loss in full-term neonates with hyperbilirubinemia, examining the relationship between bilirubin levels, onset age of hyperbilirubinemia, and hearing impairment. Additionally, it investigated whether hearing loss was transient or late-onset, using a cost-effective double-screening method. The study included 160 full-term neonates aged 0-1 month.

This study examines changes in isometric muscle strength, dexterity, and self-care independence during this period, and evaluates the effects of a comprehensive intensive rehabilitation (COMIRESTROKE).
Methods: Individuals in sub-acute stroke recovery and age- and sex-matched controls were assessed for pre- and post-rehabilitation differences in primary outcomes (grip/pinch strength, Nine Hole Peg Test [NHPT], Action Research Arm Test [ARAT]).
