Effect of Iontophoresis on the Effectiveness of Nano-Hydroxyapatite and Pro-argin in In-Office Treatment of Dentin Hypersensitivity: A Split-Mouth Randomized Clinical Trial.

Background and objectives Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) treatment is one of the main challenges dentists face in their daily clinical practice. Current therapies provide only temporary relief and require multiple applications to exhibit results, and there is a lack of evidence related to the long-term effects of these agents. Nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA) and pro-argin (8.

Diagnosis and Assessment of Severity of Pediatric Pneumonia Using the Respiratory Index of Severity (RISC) Scoring System.

Objective: To evaluate the correlation between the Respiratory Index of Severity (RISC) scoring system and the World Health Organization (WHO) interpretation of chest radiographs, and to evaluate the RISC scoring system in the diagnosis and assessment of severity of pneumonia in children against chest X-ray.

Methods: 241 children presenting to a tertiary care center with a clinical diagnosis of pneumonia that necessitated a chest radiograph to be taken, were enrolled. The RISC scoring was done for all participants by a single pediatrician and chest X-ray graded by a single radiologist as per the WHO interpretation of chest radiographs.

IoT enabled depthwise separable convolution neural network with deep support vector machine for COVID-19 diagnosis and classification.

At present times, the drastic advancements in the 5G cellular and internet of things (IoT) technologies find useful in different applications of the healthcare sector. At the same time, COVID-19 is commonly spread from animals to persons, but today it is transmitting among persons by adapting the structure. It is a severe virus and inappropriately resulted in a global pandemic.

Multi-modality medical image fusion using hybridization of binary crow search optimization.

In clinical applications, single modality images do not provide sufficient diagnostic information. Therefore, it is necessary to combine the advantages or complementarities of different modalities of images. In this paper, we propose an efficient medical image fusion system based on discrete wavelet transform and binary crow search optimization (BCSO) algorithm.

Acute dapsone poisoning in a 3-year-old child: Case report with review of literature.

Dapsone (DDS-diamino diphenyl sulphone) is a sulfone antibiotic being used for a variety of clinical conditions. Poisoning in children by DDS is rarely reported. Poisoning in acute cases will be frequently unrecognized due to relative lack of severe signs and symptoms.

Detection of plant-based adulterants in turmeric powder using DNA barcoding.

Context: In its powdered form, turmeric [Curcuma longa L. (Zingiberaceae)], a spice of medical importance, is often adulterated lowering its quality.

Objective: The study sought to detect plant-based adulterants in traded turmeric powder using DNA barcoding.

Acute ammonium dichromate poisoning in a 2 year-old child.

Hexavalent chromium compounds are most commonly used in printing, dyeing, plastics and rayon manufacturing. Poisoning in children by ammonium dichromate, an odorless and bright orange-red crystal, are rarely reported. Acute poisoning will result in death due to multi-organ failure.

Ultrasound imaging versus conventional histopathology in diagnosis of periapical lesions of endodontic origin: a comparative evaluation.

Context: Accurate assessment of periapical status is critical in diagnosis, treatment planning, and evaluation of healing. Novel imaging modalities like sonography offer promising results with reduced radiation risks.

Aims: To evaluate the potential of ultrasound imaging technique together with the application of color Doppler to differentiate between periapical lesions of endodontic origin.

NMR structure of a parallel-stranded DNA duplex at atomic resolution.

DNA dodecamers have been designed with two cytosines on each end and intervening A and T stretches, such that the oligomers have fully complementary A:T base pairs when aligned in the parallel orientation. Spectroscopic (UV, CD and IR), NMR and molecular dynamics studies have shown that oligomers having the sequences d(CCATAATTTACC) and d(CCTATTAAATCC) form a parallel-stranded duplex when dissolved at 1:1 stoichiometry in aqueous solution. This is due to the C:C+ clamps on either end and extensive mismatches in the antiparallel orientation.
