Risk stratification tools for the prediction of complications in patients with upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage are crucial for appropriate management. Blood group status has been associated with the risk of bleeding, thrombosis and risk of peptic ulcer disease (PUD). We assessed the influence of blood group status on rebleeding and other complications in 699 patients with PUD bleeding.

It is often preceded by oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD). Although regular clinical examination forms the backbone for oral cancer screening, subtle lesions go unnoticed and there is a need for more sensitive and specific molecular biomarkers in mass screening of population.

TP-IUS was well tolerated and feasible with adequate rectal views obtained in all trimesters of pregnancy.

The study explored the potential of innovative biomaterials for dental implant surfaces, including titanium-zirconium (Ti-Zr) alloy, hydroxyapatite-coated titanium (HA-Ti), and porous polyetheretherketone (PEEK), in comparison to conventional commercially pure titanium (CP Ti).
Materials And Methods: A total of 186 samples were harvested for the analysis.
