Background: Understanding the morphological patterns of degenerative and traumatic spinal conditions is essential for precise diagnosis and management plans. This study evaluates the sequence of structural changes in degenerative spinal disorder patients' disco-vertebral unit and the traumatic spinal injury patterns in a northwestern Nigerian population.
Methods: A hospital-based retrospective study reviewed radiologic images of 307 patients with spinal degeneration (n=269) and trauma (n=38) at two tertiary hospitals in Northwest Nigeria.
Oils and lipids help make water-insoluble drugs soluble by dispersing them in an aqueous medium with the help of a surfactant and enabling their absorption across the gut barrier. The emergence of microemulsions (thermodynamically stable), nanoemulsions (kinetically stable), and self-emulsifying drug delivery systems added unique characteristics that make them suitable for prolonged storage and controlled release. In the 1990s, solid-phase lipids were introduced to reduce drug leakage from nanoparticles and prolong drug release.

In Iraqi Kurdistan, tomato plants play a significant role in the country's economy. Due to climate change, which causes soil moisture to diminish, the crop's growth and yield have been dropping in recent years.

- Osteoporosis and periodontal disease significantly affect post-menopausal women, leading to serious health issues like bone fractures and mental health complications.
- A study involving 100 post-menopausal women aimed to explore how oral health relates to bone diseases, particularly looking at factors that could predict this association.
- Results indicated that while oral health may seem related to bone loss, only age, BMI, and past fractures were significant predictors, suggesting that periodontal disease alone may not directly contribute to bone loss but could share common risk factors.
A model for the single mode, two-dimensional Rayleigh-Taylor instability in ideal, incompressible, immiscible, and inviscid fluids is developed as an extension of a previous linear model based on the Newton's second law [A. R. Piriz et al.
