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.

Hemolysis due to anti-IH in a patient with beta-thalassemia and infection.

Anti-IH is a common cold agglutinin that is typically clinically insignificant. We present a case that resulted in hemolysis. A 32-year-old male patient with transfusion-independent beta-thalassemia intermedia presented with symptomatic anemia.

Histopathology-based near-realistic arterial wall reconstruction of a patient-specific cerebral aneurysm for fluid-structure interaction studies.

Background And Objective: Cerebral aneurysms occur as balloon-like outpouchings in an artery, which commonly develop at the weak curved regions and bifurcations. When aneurysms are detected, understanding the risk of rupture is of immense clinical value for better patient management. Towards this, Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) studies can improve our understanding of the mechanics behind aneurysm initiation, progression, and rupture.

Enhancing the tribopositive characteristics of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-carbon composites by optimizing the PVA-carbon interaction with various carbon fillers.

Incorporating carbon-based fillers into triboelectric nanogenerators, TENGs, is a compelling strategy to enhance the power output. However, the lack of systematic studies comparing various carbon fillers and their impact on tribopositive contact layers necessitates further research. To address these concerns, various carbon fillers (including buckminsterfullerene (C), graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT), and super activated carbon (SAC)) with distinct structural and electrical properties are mixed with polyvinyl alcohol, PVA, to form PVA-carbon composites and used as tribopositive layers in the contact-separation of TENGs.

Comparison of Fracture Resistance Force (Load-to-fractured Test) and Failure Type of 3D-printed Stainless Steel Crowns and Preformed Stainless Steel Crowns in Primary Molars: An Study.

Aims And Background: This study aims to compare the fracture resistance force (FRF) and failure types of three-dimensional (3D)-printed stainless steel crowns (SSCs) and preformed SSCs in primary molars.

Materials And Methods: Forty-eight over-retained and extracted mandibular second deciduous molars were divided into two groups: one receiving 3D-printed crowns and the other preformed crowns. Fracture resistance testing was performed using a universal mechanical testing machine, and failure types were analyzed post-testing.
