A Framework for Implementing Community-Based Dental Education.

Community-based dental education (CBDE) is essential for equipping dental students with the practical skills required for independent practice while simultaneously addressing the oral health needs of the community through real-world experiential learning. The success of CBDE initiatives rely on effective collaboration across stakeholders, including educational institutions, community organisations, and students, to address both faculty educational goals and community oral health needs. This paper introduces a practical toolbox to support CBDE program implementation.

Efficacy of avilamycin on the incidence and severity of diarrhea associated with pathogenic and the subsequent growth performance of nursery pigs.

A total of 3,329 commercial crossbred barrows and gilts were used to compare the efficacy of avilamycin on incidence and severity of diarrhea and growth performance of pigs naturally infected with . An incomplete block design was used with a 2 × 4 factorial arrangement of treatments: 1) Stocking density (Single: 0.67 sq.

Chemical perturbations impacting histone acetylation govern colorectal cancer differentiation.

Dysregulated epigenetic programs that restrict differentiation, reactivate fetal genes, and confer phenotypic plasticity are critical to colorectal cancer (CRC) development. By screening a small molecule library targeting epigenetic regulators using our dual reporter system, we found that inhibiting histone deacetylase (HDAC) 1/2 promotes CRC differentiation and anti-tumor activity. Comprehensive biochemical, chemical, and genetic experiments revealed that on-target blockade of the HDAC1/2 catalytic domain mediated the differentiated phenotype.

A complete workflow from embalmed specimens to life-like 3D virtual models for veterinary anatomy teaching.

Understanding normal structural and functional anatomy is critical for health professionals across various fields such as medicine, veterinary, and dental courses. The landscape of anatomical education has evolved tremendously due to several challenges and advancements in blended learning approaches, which have led to the adoption of the use of high-fidelity 3D digital models in anatomical education. Cost-effective methods such as photogrammetry, which creates digital 3D models from aligning 2D photographs, provide a viable alternative to expensive imaging techniques (i.

Eosinophilic esophagitis.

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an atopic condition of the esophagus that has become increasingly recognized. Diagnosis of the disorder is dependent on the patient's clinical manifestations and must be confirmed by histologic findings on esophageal mucosal biopsies. The epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of EoE are discussed in this review.
