A New Guiding Suturing Technique for Reshaping of the Antihelix in Patients with Prominent Ears.

Background: Prominent ears are the most common congenital anomaly of the head and neck. A complete understanding of the definition of prominent ears is necessary. The present retrospective study described guiding sutures to hold the antihelix in a temporary corrected position before placing the permanent Mustardé sutures.

Effect of Diet and Dietary Patterns on the Progression of Multiple Sclerosis: A Review.

The link between diet and the progression of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a topic of growing interest and investigation within the medical community. This review explored the mechanisms through which dietary interventions can impact the course of MS and shape the clinical outcomes and quality of life of individuals with the disease. By synthesizing current knowledge from clinical studies and observational research, the review aimed to provide insights into the role of diet in managing MS.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 2 (PTPN2) gene polymorphisms (rs2542151, rs7234029) in Egyptian Behçet's disease patients: a preliminary report.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 2 (PTPN2) gene have been documented to be linked with several autoimmune disorders including Behçet's disease (BD). PTPN2 SNPs rs2542151 and rs7234029 have been assessed using real-time PCR in 96 BD patients and 50 controls matched by age and gender. Patients were categorized into groups according to the disease phenotypes and severity.

Utilization of industrial waste materials for the preparation of wollastonite by temperature-induced forming technique.

The study focuses on synthesizing wollastonite using bypass and silica fume waste materials as starting materials. The novelty of this work is the utilization of temperature-induced forming technique for the synthesis of wollastonite. Bypass and silica fume are mixed with various CaO/SiO ratios and then cast and fired at temperatures ranging from 900 to 1200 °C.

Study of microstructure and corrosion behavior of nano-AlO coating layers on TiO substrate via polymeric method and microwave combustion.

The study describes the successful development of a TiO ceramic substrate with a protective nano-AlO coating using two different coating techniques: microwave combustion and polymeric methods. The coated ceramics demonstrate enhanced corrosion resistance compared to the uncoated substrate. The optimal TiO substrate was prepared by firing it at 1000 °C.
