Evaluating the effect of strontium ranelate and photobiomodulation on cementogenic and osteogenic differentiation of buccal fat pad-derived stem cells: An in vitro study.

This study aimed to analyze the impact of strontium ranelate (Str), photobiomodulation (PBM), or their combination of the proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and cementogenic differentiation of buccal fat pad-derived stem cells. BFPdSCs were exposed to one of the following interventions: (1) PBM (660 nm), (2) PBM (660 nm) + Str, (3) PBM (880 nm), (4) PBM (880 nm) + Str, (5) Str. All study groups had significantly higher osteogenic differentiation than the control group (p < 0.

Bilayer scaffolds/membranes for bone tissue engineering applications: A systematic review.

Objective: This systematic review evaluates the purpose, materials, physio-mechanical, and biological effects of bilayer scaffolds/membranes used for bone tissue engineering applications.

Methods: A comprehensive electronic search of English-language literature from 2012 to October 2022 was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar online databases according to the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The quality of animal studies was evaluated through the SYRCLE's risk of bias tool.

An Update on Biochemical and Genomic Markers for Prostate Cancer.

Purpose: Detecting prostate cancer, developing therapeutic plans after negative biopsies, and prognosis-based patient counseling can be challenging for many urologists dealing with prostate cancer-specific antigens. New Biomarkers advances made improvement for prediction of responses to therapeutic option and can tell us about survival and recurrence. In this review, we have assessed current and upcoming biomarkers that are opening a new era in diagnosing the disease.

Role of point-of-care ultrasound study in early disposition of patients with undifferentiated acute dyspnea in emergency department: a multi-center prospective study.

Introduction: Sonography is a safe and simple diagnostic modality which can help emergency physicians in their clinical decision makings and improve the patient disposition process in emergency departments.

Objective: This prospective multi-center study evaluates the role of bedside ultrasound performed by emergency physicians in accelerating the patient disposition process in cases with acute undifferentiated dyspnea.

Methods: 103 patients were randomized to "early ultrasound" and "routine assessment" groups.

Right varicocele secondary to left-sided inferior vena cava with a retro-aortic left renal vein and azygos continuation.

Varicocele represents the main cause of male infertility. Right-sided varicocele is rare and can be due to renal malignancy or a venous abnormality. The most common anomaly of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is interruption of IVC with azygos continuation, which is recognized as an uncommon congenital anomaly.
