Background: Dyslipidemia, characterized by variations in plasma lipid profiles, poses a global health threat linked to millions of deaths annually.
Objectives: This study focuses on predicting dyslipidemia incidence using machine learning methods, addressing the crucial need for early identification and intervention.
Methods: The dataset, derived from the Lifestyle Promotion Project (LPP) in East Azerbaijan Province, Iran, undergoes a comprehensive preprocessing, merging, and null handling process.
Background: This study aimed to compare the success rate of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) anesthesia in the mandibular first molars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis using two anesthetic solutions of prilocaine and mepivacaine.
Materials And Methods: The current randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 100 patients in two groups ( = 50). Standard injection of IAN block (IANB) was performed using two cartridges of 3% mepivacaine plain in the first group and using two cartridges of 3% prilocaine with 0.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of sample preparation methods on push-out bond strength of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA).
Methods And Materials: Twenty-four extracted human mandibular premolars with single root canal were selected for this study. After instrumentation, irrigation and drying of root canals, they were randomly divided into two experimental groups (=12).
Purpose: Despite its efficacy and safety, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is underutilized, in part, due to the stigma associated with the treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of counseling on stigma in patients with psychiatric disorders receiving ECT.
Patients And Methods: A total of 114 patients with psychiatric disorders undergoing ECT were randomly divided into two groups.
