Background: Atherosclerosis is a systemic vascular disease commonly affecting coronary and carotid arteries, particularly in diabetes mellitus (DM). This study assessed the association of DM with significant carotid artery stenosis (CAS) among the coronary artery disease (CAD) population undergoing isolated elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study evaluated 100 Bangladeshi CAD patients who underwent isolated elective CABG from January 2017 to September 2019.
Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HANPs) are becoming increasingly crucial in dental implant applications as they are highly compatible with biological systems, actively support biological processes, and closely resemble bone minerals. This review covers the latest progress in how HANPs are made, studied, and used in dentistry. It looks at critical methods for creating HANPs, such as sol-gel, microwave hydrothermal synthesis, and biomimetic approaches, and how they affect the particles' size, structure, and activity.

- Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive cancer with poor survival rates, and current diagnostic methods are invasive and limited.
- This study introduces a new machine learning technique that uses metabolomics data to distinguish between SCLC, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and healthy individuals, achieving high accuracy in classification.
- Key metabolites were identified as important predictors, and the stacking ensemble model effectively combines different classifiers, providing a promising non-invasive alternative for early lung cancer detection.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how career self-efficacy influences career intentions, focusing on the roles of person-environment fit and career attitudes as mediators.
- Using survey data from 341 job seekers in Bangladesh, the researchers found that both mediators partially and fully mediate the relationship between self-efficacy and career intentions.
- The findings offer insights for career counselors and HR managers, enhancing their understanding of how self-efficacy impacts job-seeking behaviors in a competitive environment.
