Beyond the Bite: Exploring Mental Health of Dental Faculty in Pakistan- a multi-institutional study.

Introduction: Mental health issues are being reported increasingly amongst healthcare staff and students globally. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of common mental health issues amongst dental faculty members at multiple institutions in Pakistan.

Methods: Following approval from the institutional ethics review board, dental faculty members at 14 dental institutions were invited to participate in an online survey based on globally validated scales for mental health problems including the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21).

Diagnosing Glaucoma Based on the Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study Dataset Using Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer as a Large Language Model.

Purpose: To evaluate the capabilities of Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT), as a large language model (LLM), for diagnosing glaucoma using the Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study (OHTS) dataset, and comparing the diagnostic capability of ChatGPT 3.5 and ChatGPT 4.0.

Predictors of prognosis in Alzheimer's disease: The role of cognitive dysfunction, immune abnormalities, and advanced neuroimaging.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a grave illness that results in cognitive and social issues. A recent study examined the association between neuroimaging results, cognitive dysfunction, atypical cellular immune function, and poor prognostic factors in AD patients who demonstrated poor prognosis. Poor prognosis was associated with abnormal cellular immune function, extrapyramidal symptoms, altered consciousness, abnormal electroencephalogram, modified Rankin scale, increased neutrophil lymphocyte ratio, and severe pneumonia.

The Conversion of Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty to Total Knee Arthroplasty with Non-CT-Based Robotic Assistance: A Novel Surgical Technique and Case Series.

Robotic-assisted devices help provide precise component positioning in conversion of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) to total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A few studies offer surgical techniques for computed tomography (CT) based robotic-assisted conversion of UKA to TKA; however, no studies to date detail this procedure utilizing a non-CT-based robotic-assisted device. This article introduces a novel technique employing a non-CT-based robotic-assisted device (ROSA Knee System, Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, IN) for converting UKA to TKA with a focus on its efficacy in gap balancing.

Patient compliance with medications, nasal douching, smoking cessation and long-term outcomes of surgical septorhinoplasty - a prospective series of 56 cases.

Introduction: Septorhinoplasty addresses both functional and cosmetic concerns with the nose and has been shown to have consistent, long-term benefits for patients. Nasal irrigation and medication such as antimicrobials are prescribed postoperatively to improve outcomes. Patient compliance with these interventions and outcomes of surgery have not been described.

A Vision Language Correlation Framework for Screening Disabled Retina.

Retinopathy is a group of retinal disabilities that causes severe visual impairments or complete blindness. Due to the capability of optical coherence tomography to reveal early retinal abnormalities, many researchers have utilized it to develop autonomous retinal screening systems. However, to the best of our knowledge, most of these systems rely only on mathematical features, which might not be helpful to clinicians since they do not encompass the clinical manifestations of screening the underlying diseases.

Safety, feasibility and efficacy of sonothrombolysis with micro boluses of perfluoropropane as a point of care therapy for patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction.

Background: Despite advances in timely revascularisation of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients, there are several practical and unavoidable delays. Sonothrombolysis (administered during micro boluses of Perfluoropropane) initiated bedside as a point-of-care therapy during the initial evaluation of the patient may potentially mitigate this by producing early culprit vessel revascularisation.

Methods: This was a prospective, single-centre study on hemodynamically stable patients presenting within 12 hours of a first STEMI who consented for study participation.

Bioactivity-driven fungal metabologenomics identifies antiproliferative stemphone analogs and their biosynthetic gene cluster.

Introduction: Fungi biosynthesize chemically diverse secondary metabolites with a wide range of biological activities. Natural product scientists have increasingly turned towards bioinformatics approaches, combining metabolomics and genomics to target secondary metabolites and their biosynthetic machinery. We recently applied an integrated metabologenomics workflow to 110 fungi and identified more than 230 high-confidence linkages between metabolites and their biosynthetic pathways.

Survivorship of Primary NexGen Knee Replacement: Comparing Cementless Trabecular Metal to Other Designs of Tibial Component.

The impact of cementless trabecular metal (TM) implants on implant survivorship are not well delineated. This study compares primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) revision rates of cemented knee replacements with two cementless knee replacement designs-cementless TM and a non-TM cementless design. Data from a national registry queried TKA procedures performed for osteoarthritis from 1999 to 2020.

Wheldone Revisited: Structure Revision Via DFT-GIAO Chemical Shift Calculations, 1,1-HD-ADEQUATE NMR Spectroscopy, and X-ray Crystallography Studies.

Wheldone is a fungal metabolite isolated from the coculture of and , displaying cytotoxic activity against breast, melanoma, and ovarian cancer cell lines. Initially, its structure was characterized as an unusual 5-methyl-bicyclo[5.4.

Development of a delayed chronic subdural haematoma 3 years after traumatic brain injury with urinary incontinence: a case report.

Introduction: The authors present a case of a delayed chronic subdural haematoma, a rare occurrence that manifested 3 years after a traumatic brain injury, accompanied by an unexpected symptom of urinary incontinence. Chronic subdural haematoma (CSDH) is a well-known condition characterised by the accumulation of old, liquefied blood under the dura mater, usually following minor head trauma. However, the atypical presentation of CSDH in a young patient without predisposing factors and the association with urinary incontinence challenge conventional understanding.

Predicting Glaucoma Before Onset Using a Large Language Model Chatbot.

Purpose: To investigate the capability of ChatGPT for forecasting the conversion from ocular hypertension (OHT) to glaucoma based on the Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study (OHTS).

Design: Retrospective case-control study.

Participants: A total of 3008 eyes of 1504 subjects from the OHTS were included in the study.
