Rete anomaly of the middle cerebral artery: case series of 13 patients from the Northeastern United States.

Background: Rete middle cerebral artery (MCA) is a rare anomaly of the intracranial circulation that mimics congenital Moyamoya disease (MMD). Similar to MMD, it is reported almost exclusively in East-Asian ethnicities. Here, we report 13 patients with rete MCA anomaly from a predominantly non-Asian background in the USA.

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratios as mortality predictors in acute Aluminum phosphide (grain pills) poisoning: clinical insights and risk assessment.

Background: Aluminum phosphides (AlP) is a solid fumigant pesticide known for its high toxicity and mortality. Diagnosis of AlP is based on the history and clinical examination. The literature on the early prediction of adverse outcomes following AlP exposure is limited.

Overview of the Current Challenges in Pulmonary Coccidioidomycosis.

Coccidioidomycosis is a disease caused by soil fungi of the genus , divided genetically into (California isolates) and (isolates outside California). Coccidioidomycosis is transmitted through the inhalation of fungal spores, arthroconidia, which can cause disease in susceptible mammalian hosts, including humans. Coccidioidomycosis is endemic to the western part of the United States of America, including the central valley of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of western Texas.

Exploring the therapeutic potential of medicinal plants and their active principles in dental care: A comprehensive review.

Since the human population realized how important it was to maintain overall health and the weight of disease, they have been looking for therapeutic qualities in natural environments. The use of plants having medicinal qualities for the treatment and prevention of illnesses that may have an impact on general health is known as herbal medicine. There has been a noticeable increase in interest lately in the combination of synthetic contemporary medications and traditional herbal remedies.

Unravelling the role of pore structure of biomass-derived porous carbon in charge storage mechanisms for supercapacitors.

This study presents findings on the production and analysis of activated carbon (AC), which exhibits a significantly expansive surface area derived from readily available and inexpensive agroforestry waste, specifically coconut shells. The carbon materials displayed encouraging features for electrochemical energy storage applications with a high specific surface area (2920 m g), an ordered mesoporous structure (∼2.5 nm), and substantial electronic conductivity.
