Traumatic Neuroma as a Rare Complication of "Vel" Piercing.

Body piercing has become popular among people of all ages, inspired by religious convictions, personal aesthetics, and cultural influences. Piercings in the oral cavity frequently involve the lip, buccal mucosa, frenulum, and tongue with needles, hooks, and rings. However, these piercings might cause long-term problems to both the hard and soft tissues of the mouth.

High-intensity focused ultrasound: an innovative approach for micro-manipulation of demineralized dentine.

Background: Treatment of deep carious lesions poses significant challenges in dentistry, as complete lesion removal risks compromising pulp vitality, while selective removal often reduces the longevity of restorations. Herein, we propose a minimally invasive approach using High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for microscale removal of carious dentine. Concurrently, HIFU's antimicrobial effects against associated cariogenic biofilms and the corresponding thermal and biological impacts on surrounding tissues were investigated.

Comparison of hemodynamic responses to nasal intubation in cancer patients receiving opioid-free general anesthesia versus standard regimen.

Background And Aims: Nasotracheal intubation evokes greater hemodynamic responses than oral intubation. We compared the heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) responses following nasal intubation during opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) using intravenous lignocaine versus standard regimen using morphine in cancer patients undergoing tumor resection.

Material And Methods: This randomized, double-blinded study was conducted in 84 adults.

Web-based single session therapy training for mental health support providers: a mixed-methods evaluation study protocol.

The growing mental health needs and constrained resources in low- and middle-income countries necessitate scalable solutions. Single Session Therapy (SST) is a global trend in brief and cost-effective options for mental health interventions. It involves a single planned session between mental health service provider and client.
