Effect of Cawthorne and Cooksey exercise on balance control and fall risk among middle-aged population: A single group pre-post experimental study.

Background: Balance impairment is one of the causes of the risk of falls among all age groups and is a continuing threat to morbidity and mortality across the world. Previous studies stated that the vestibular system is affected in middle-aged population, which leads to imbalance and a high risk of falls. There is a lack of research in this account so this study has been done to find the effect of Cawthorne and Cooksey exercise in vestibular rehabilitation on balance control and the risk of falls among middle-age population.

Carotenoids as modulators of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway: innovative strategies in cancer therapy.

Cancer progression is primarily driven by the uncontrolled activation of cellular signaling pathways, with the PI3K/Akt/mTOR (PAMT) pathway playing a central role. This pathway significantly contributes to the proliferation and survival of cancer cells, and its hyperactivity is a major challenge in managing several types of malignancies. This article delves into the promising potential of carotenoids, natural pigments found in abundance in fruits and vegetables, as a novel therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment.

Bioactive Molecules Derived from Plants in Managing Dengue Vector (Linn.).

Mosquitoes are the potential vectors of several viral diseases such as filariasis, malaria, dengue, yellow fever, Zika fever and encephalitis in humans as well as other species. Dengue, the most common mosquito-borne disease in humans caused by the dengue virus is transmitted by the vector . Fever, chills, nausea and neurological disorders are the frequent symptoms of Zika and dengue.

Optimizing dimensional changes of soft tissue in alveolar ridge preservation using rotational palatal pedicle flap in posterior maxilla - A randomized controlled clinical trial.

Background: After tooth extraction, it is critical to maintain alveolar bone proportions as well as soft tissue integrity for rehabilitation. The common procedure for closing the socket is a coronally advanced flap, however, it compromises the keratinized tissue dimensions. As a result, the current study's goal is to assess and compare the soft tissue dimensional alterations caused by the new palatal rotational pedicle flap versus the conventional coronally advanced flap as an adjunct to alveolar ridge preservation.

Production and Purification of Pectinase from 15A-B92 and Its Biotechnological Applications.

Enzymes that degrade pectin are called pectinases. Pectinases of microbial origin are used in juice clarification as the process is cost-effective. This study screened a pectinase-producing bacterium isolated from soil and identified as 15A B-92 based on the 16S rRNA molecular technique.
