Quadruple Hernia: A Rare Case Report.

Occult hernias, which are not detectable through clinical examination but can be identified during surgery, are typically asymptomatic. Bilateral inguinal hernias occur frequently, and in some cases, unilateral or bilateral inguinal hernias are observed in conjunction with paraumbilical hernias. However, it is rare to repair more than three hernias, including rare types, in a single procedure.

The Impact of Orthodontic Adhesive Containing Resveratrol, Silver, and Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles on Shear Bond Strength: An In Vitro Study.

Introduction The goal of orthodontic treatment is to provide patients with esthetic smiles and functional occlusion. Despite best efforts and continuous evolution of materials, white spot lesions present a persistent hindrance to the desired treatment outcome. Nanoparticles have shown efficacy in reducing microbial activity; however, currently, there is a need for natural anti-cariogenic compounds with minimal side effects.

Computational studies and structural insights for discovery of potential natural aromatase modulators for hormone-dependent breast cancer.

Introduction: The aromatase enzyme plays an important role in the progress of hormone-dependent breast cancer, especially in estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancers. In case of postmenopausal women, the aromatization of androstenedione to estrone in adipose tissue is the most important source of estrogen. Generally 60%-75% of pre- and post-menopausal women suffer from estrogen-dependent breast cancer, and thus suppressing estrogen has been recognized to be a successful therapy.

Bilateral Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma With Adrenal Metastasis: A Rare Case Report.

Adrenal gland metastasis is rare, often associated with invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) rather than infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC). This report presents a case of a 43-year-old female with bilateral breast IDC and metastasis to the adrenal gland, with bilateral axillary and supraclavicular node involvement. Initial symptoms included a nipple discharge and a palpable lump.

Delphi Consensus Statement on the Role of Probiotics in the Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis.

Background Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by intense itching and recurrent eczematous lesions. Important factors in the etiopathogenesis of AD include genetic predisposition, epidermal barrier dysfunction, immune dysregulation, and gut and skin dysbiosis. Probiotics could be a potential preventive strategy for allergies including AD through immune system modulation as well as enhancement of the epithelial barrier integrity.

Cerina: cognitive-behavioural therapy-based mobile application for managing GAD symptoms among Ulster University Students in Northern Ireland - a protocol for a pilot feasibility randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: University students are one of the most vulnerable populations for anxiety disorders worldwide. In Northern Ireland, anxiety disorders appear to be more common among the university student population due to the population demographics across the region. Despite the need, these students show less inclination to access the widely available on-campus well-being services and other external professional services.

Three-Dimensional Ni-MOF as a High-Performance Supercapacitor Anode Material; Experimental and Theoretical Insight.

A three-dimensional (3D) Ni-MOF of the formula [Ni(CHN)(CHO)] has been reported, which shows a capacitance of 2150 F/g at a current density of 1A/g in a three-electrode setup (5.0 M KOH). Post-mortem analysis of the sample after three-electrode measurements revealed the bias-induced transformation of Ni-MOF to Ni(OH), which has organic constituents intercalated within the sample exhibiting better storage performance than bulk Ni(OH).

A Low-Profile Circularly Polarized Millimeter-Wave Broadband Antenna Analyzed with a Link Budget for IoT Applications in an Indoor Scenario.

Broadband antennas with a low-profile generating circular polarization are always in demand for handheld/ portable devices as CP antennas counter multipath and misalignment issues.

Design of low-cost natural casein biopolymer based adsorbent for efficient adsorption of multiple anionic dyes and diclofenac sodium from aqueous solutions.

The treatment of various organic pollutants from industrial wastewater using bio-based materials has gained significant attention owing to their excellent properties such as low-cost, eco-friendly, non-toxic, and biodegradability. In this perspective, casein (Cn), a protein-based biopolymer, was extracted from the cow milk as a low-cost adsorbent, and the adsorption performances were determined for the pristine Cn. The adsorbent was employed for the removal of two different classes of targeted pollutant anionic dyes such as Congo red (CR), Eriochrome Black T (EBT), Eosin Y (EY), and pharmaceutical waste i.

A comparative study on the use of ultra-low dose computed tomography scans with conventional computed tomography scans for the evaluation of proximal tibia intra-articular fractures.

Purpose: A rise in the need of preoperative CT assessment of proximal tibial intra-articular fractures has given rise to an increased load of radiation exposure. This comparative study aims at assessing the efficacy of low dose CT scan by collating images of tibial plateau fractures produced by low dose CT scan with that of conventional dose CT scan. Furthermore, the study aims at computing the comprehensive reduction in the effective dosage of radiation when low dose CT scan is employed for assessing these fractures.
