Towards real-world wearable sleepiness detection: Electrodermal activity data during speech can identify sleep deprivation.

Accurate assessment of sleepiness is pivotal in managing the fatigue-associated risks stemming from sleep deprivation. Speech signals are easy to obtain, allowing detection of sleepiness anywhere. Previous machine learning (ML) studies using speech have not been successful in achieving reliable estimation of perceived sleepiness levels, which results in inaccurate sleepiness determination.

Probiotics, tetracycline fibres and chlorhexidine gel's effectiveness in treating chronic periodontitis as a supplement to scaling and root planning.

A periodontal pocket can result into progressive loss of attachment. Many agents are tried to improve periodontal health. Hence this research was done to estimate the effectiveness of Tetracycline fibers; Probiotics and Chlorhexidine gel as a conjunction to scaling and root planning (SRP) in the treatment of chronic periodontitis.

Assessment of Platelet-Rich Plasma Alone and Platelet-Rich Plasma Combined with Bioactive Glass in the Management of Intrabony Defect.

Objectives: To assess the function of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) both only and in combination with bioactive glass in intrabony defects.

Materials And Method: Twenty patients were split into two groups with 10 samples each: group I with PRP alone, whereas group II was done with PRP in addition to bioactive glass. Following local anesthesia, full-thickness mucoperiosteal flaps were elevated in the afflicted site, the defect was debrided, and root planning with curettes was performed.

Assessment of the Antibacterial Effect of Vitamin D3 against Red Complex Periodontal Pathogens: A Microbiological Assay.

Aim: The study aims is to evaluate the antibacterial effect of vitamin D3 against the , in chronic periodontitis patients.

Materials And Methods: The study comprised 98 participants with chronic periodontitis. All clinical parameters including plaque index (PI), gingival bleeding index (GBI), probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and a microbiological assay of were assessed at the baseline.

Out-of-pocket expenditure among patients with diabetic foot ulcer in a tertiary care hospital of south India: A cross-sectional study.

Diabetic foot ulcer is a debilitating complication of long-standing diabetes mellitus. Patients lose their earning potential, face repeated hospitalizations, and are forced to bear heavy treatment costs. This places an enormous financial burden on the patients and their families.
