Comparison of neutral and sniffing position for ease of endotracheal intubation using Airtraq optical laryngoscope-A randomized trial.

Background: Traditionally, the sniffing position has been considered a standard head and neck position during direct laryngoscopy. The perfect head and neck position for video laryngoscopy has yet not been described. Hence, we planned the present study to compare the neutral and sniffing position for ease of intubation using Airtraq.

Evaluation of the efficiency of SmartArch, copper-NiTi, and NiTi archwires in resolving mandibular anterior crowding: A double-blinded randomized controlled trial.

Background/objective: Resolution of crowding remains a chief concern for patients seeking orthodontic treatment. The choice of the initial aligning archwire is crucial for achieving treatment success. Nickel-titanium (NiTi) archwires have been the first choice since their introduction.

Antioxidant Nutraceuticals: Their Adjunct Role in the Management of COVID-19 Infections and Post-COVID Syndrome.

The COVID-19 epidemic in recent years has been produced by various coronavirus strains that nearly destroyed world health policies and economics. Emerging viral strains exac-erbated the pandemic. Huge investments have been made in preventative vaccines to combat the disease, but the genetic instability of these viruses has hampered their usefulness.

Anti-biofilm effect of ferulic acid against and : and investigation.

and , key members of the ESKAPE group of hospital-acquired pathogens, are driving forces behind numerous infections due to their potent biofilm formation and the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance. Ferulic acid (FA) is known for its strong antioxidant properties and is recognized for its numerous physiological benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, and antidiabetic effects. The current investigation delves into the antimicrobial and antibiofilm ability of FA against and .
