Apis florea bees were recently identified in Egypt, marking the second occurrence of this species on the African continent. The objective of this study was to track the distribution of A. florea in Egypt and evaluate its potential for invasive behaviour.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess early functional outcomes and quality of life (QOL) after surgical management of patients with spinal metastases.
Patients And Methods: In this prospective cohort study, a total of 33 patients with thoracic and lumbar spine metastases who underwent surgical management between November 2021 and August 2023 were followed up for 1 year or until death.
Article Synopsis
- Selective Immunoglobulin A Deficiency (SIgAD) is a common immunodeficiency that leads to a higher risk of mucosal infections.
- This study evaluated the prevalence of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in patients with SIgAD compared to a matched control group without the deficiency.
- Results showed that ADHD prevalence was significantly higher in the SIgAD group (16.2%) versus controls (12.9%), along with increased use of methylphenidate and more frequent respiratory and intestinal infections.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to compare the fracture resistance of canine teeth restored with TRINIA Endocrowns using three different preparation depths (2 mm, 3 mm, and 4 mm).
- Thirty extracted maxillary canines were endodontically treated and divided into three groups, each receiving endocrowns bonded using a dual-cure resin cement.
- Results indicated that endocrowns with 2 mm and 3 mm preparations exhibited significantly higher fracture resistance compared to the 4 mm preparation, with the 2 mm version being mostly reparable after failure.
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the bending properties of String of Pearls plate-bone substitute constructs with and without bending tees in the nodes over a simulated fracture gap. It is hypothesized that the constructs with tees will have higher bending stiffness.
Study Design: Acetal polymer tubes and 12-hole, 3.
