Dental cements are in a constant state of evolution, adapting to better align with the intricacies of tooth structure and the dynamic movements within the oral cavity. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of zirconia-reinforced glass ionomer cement-an innovative variant of modified glass ionomer cements-in terms of its ability to withstand compressive forces and prevent microleakage during dental caries reconstruction. An extensive search was conducted across various databases, encompassing PubMed-MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, Google Scholar, prominent journals, unpublished studies, conference proceedings, and cross-referenced sources.

Implant materials must mimic natural human bones with biocompatibility, osteoconductivity and mechanical stability to successfully replace damaged or disease-affected bones. Synthetic hydroxyapatite was incorporated with bioglass to mimic natural bones for replacing conventional implant materials which has led to certain toxicity issues. Hence, hydroxyapatite (HAp) are recently gaining applicational importance as they are resembling the structure and function of natural bones.

The purpose of this study was to assess the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential of liposomal formulations enriched with (Hyp) aqueous extracts. Cotyledon segments derived from protocorms of were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) media supplemented with Kinetin (KN, 1 mgl) and Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA, 0.1 mgl) to induce hypericin-rich red shoots (HypR, 0.

Article Synopsis
  • Frequent blood transfusions in thalassemia major patients increase their risk of transfusion-transmitted infections (TTIs), necessitating effective screening protocols for donor blood.
  • A study in central India examined 66 multi-transfused thalassemia patients, revealing sero-prevalence rates of 3.0% for hepatitis B, 18.2% for hepatitis C, and 1.5% for HIV, with no cases of syphilis detected.
  • The findings suggest a significant burden of hepatitis C among these patients, highlighting the need to improve blood screening methods and ensure better quality control in blood donation.
