Background/aim: This study explores the effects of ozone and propolis on the healing of critically sized bone defects at both the histologic and molecular levels, and the locations and concentrations of osteopontin and osteonectin during healing; both proteins play roles during bone healing.
Materials And Methods: This study used 56 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats of an average weight of 350 g, divided into four groups of 14: a control group, a topical ozone group (O), a topical ozone + systemic propolis (O + PO) group, and a systemic propolis group (PO). Seven rats from each group were sacrificed at the end of week 4 and the other seven at the end of week 6.
Background: Primary dysmenorrhea is a common gynecological problem characterized by menstrual pain without any pelvic pathology. It affects a significant portion of women of reproductive age, impacting their quality of life and daily activities. Physiotherapy interventions such as therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, electrotherapy, and kinesio taping reduce menstrual pain and symptoms.

Weyers acrofacial dysostosis (WAD) is an ultra-rare dominant condition allelic to EvC. The present work aimed to enhance current knowledge on the clinical manifestations of EvC and WAD and broaden their mutational spectrum.

In additon, bone grafts (alloplast, xsenograft, allograft) are frequently used in implant and sinus lift surgical procedures.
Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the bone-implant osseointegration levels of titanium implants simultaniously placed with different bone grafts.
