Abortion remains one of the most prevalent complications of pregnancy, contributing significantly to maternal mortality and presenting a substantial public health challenge. This study aimed to explore Rhazes' perspective on abortion and abortifacient medicinal plants he mentioned in Kitāb al-Ḥāwī fī al-Ṭibb. A detailed analysis of his seminal work, Kitāb al-Ḥāwī fī al-Ṭibb, was conducted.

The novel compounds were analyzed using several spectroscopic techniques, and their antimicrobial efficacies against six pathogens (Gram-negative, Gram-positive, and fungi) were tested. Most of the tested compounds exhibited significant antimicrobial activity compared to ciprofloxacin and fluconazole.

Design: Qualitative study based on data collected in online focus groups. Transcripts were analysed inductively after each focus group using reflexive thematic analysis, focusing on identifying unintended consequences of healthcare technologies with implications for patient safety.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of misoprostol before hysteroscopy in women who have never given birth (nulliparous).
- A total of 13 studies involving 1,528 participants were analyzed, comparing misoprostol to various alternatives including placebo and other medications.
- Results indicated mixed outcomes on cervical dilation and pain levels, with a significant reduction in time for cervical dilatation (p=0.03), but no strong evidence for improved ease of dilation or reduced preoperative pain.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of Biodentine and Portland cement in repairing mid-root perforations in single-rooted mandibular premolars by analyzing stress distribution and fracture resistance.
- Using finite element analysis (FEA) and a physical testing approach, researchers created 3D models of various tooth conditions to assess how each repair method performed under stress.
- Results showed that Biodentine and Portland cement had similar stress distributions and that the highest stress was observed in the endodontically treated teeth, indicating that both materials were effective in ensuring structural integrity after repair.
