Efficacy of Arogya Rakshak Panchatantra (Five Lifestyle Principles) on Heart Rate Variability and Menstrual Symptoms in Primary Dysmenorrhea: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is associated with decreased performance and reduced quality of life in young adults. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing Arogya Rakshak Panchatantra (ARP), a naturopathic lifestyle practice, among young female adults with PD. This open-label, parallel-arm, randomized controlled trial included 52 young female adults with PD aged between 16 and 25 years.

Shear Bond Strength of Self-Adhesive Versus Conventional Flowable Composites: An Study.

Aim: As an emerging yet underexplored innovation in dentistry, self-adhesive flowable composites (SAFCs) represent a promising and enduring advancement in the dental material technology. Our study aims to evaluate the shear bond strength of two SAFCs and the bonding of conventional flowable composite (CFC) to permanent dentin.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-six teeth were embedded in acrylic blocks, with the occlusal third removed to expose the underlying dentin.

Scaling up multispectral color filters with binary lithography and reflow (BLR).

Efforts to increase the number of filters are driven by the demand for miniaturized spectrometers and multispectral imaging. However, processes that rely on sequential fabrication of each filter are cost ineffective. Herein, we introduce an approach to produce at least 16 distinct filters based on a single low-resolution lithographic step with minimum feature size of 0.
