Introduction This case report illustrates the complexities of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and its thromboembolic complications resulting in top-of-basilar artery syndrome. We discuss the case of a 37-year-old male with ARVC who presented with acute onset of dizziness, imbalance, and vomiting, leading to the diagnosis of a top-of-basilar artery occlusion which was successfully treated. Case presentation This case highlights the diagnostic and acute treatment challenges in basilar artery occlusion (BAO) due to its non-specific symptoms and emphasizes the critical role of CT angiography in detecting occlusive thrombi for timely intervention.

The worldwide prevalence of thyroid disease is on the rise, representing a chronic condition that significantly impacts global mortality rates. Machine learning (ML) approaches have demonstrated potential superiority in mitigating the occurrence of this disease by facilitating early detection and treatment. However, there is a growing demand among stakeholders and patients for reliable and credible explanations of the generated predictions in sensitive medical domains.

Background: Gingival phenotype (GP), comprising gingival thickness (GT) and keratinized tissue width (KTW), plays a crucial role in preserving the integrity of gingival and periodontal tissues, thereby enhancing their resistance to trauma and mechanical irritation. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the current evidence about the changes in GT and KTW following the injection of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) in patients with thin GP.

Methods: A thorough search was conducted up to April 2024 across the following nine databases: The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Trip, CINAHL via EBSCO, EMBASE via OVID, and ProQuest.

Concrete has been widely utilized as a radiation shielding material due to its properties and structural integrity. This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of ordinary concrete versus barite concrete as radiation shielding materials, focusing on the physical aspects and changes in crystal size lattice parameters after neutron irradiation. Specifically, the research investigates the shielding effectiveness of these materials across different grades (M15, M25, M35, and M45) against gamma-ray sources Cobalt-60 and Caesium-137.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative condition brought on by aging and characterised by progressive decline in cognitive function and abnormalities in the central cholnergic system. -amyloid deposits, neurofibril tangle aggregation, oxidative stress or reduced level of acetylcholine are a few causes that have been linked to AD. In this study, the bioassay-guided isolation from ethyl acetate (EtOAc) extract of bark led to the isolation of nine compounds namely, 16-phenylhexadecanoic acid (), undecylbenzene (), 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (), dodecanoic acid (), tetradecanoic acid (), pentadecanoic acid (), 1-tridecene (), stigmasterol () and trimyristin ().
