A pulsar-like polarization angle swing from a nearby fast radio burst.

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) last for milliseconds and arrive at Earth from cosmological distances. Although their origins and emission mechanisms are unknown, their signals bear similarities with the much less luminous radio emission generated by pulsars within our Miky Way Galaxy, with properties suggesting neutron star origins. However, unlike pulsars, FRBs typically show minimal variability in their linear polarization position angle (PA) curves.

Zingerone effect against Candida albicans growth and biofilm production.

Background: The increasing resistance of Candida albicans biofilms underscores the urgent need for effective antifungals. This study evaluated the efficacy of zingerone and elucidated its mode of action against C. albicans ATCC 90028 and clinical isolate C1.

Evaluation of the antibacterial and wound healing efficacy of Aloe vera-coated 3-0 silk sutures in comparison to uncoated 3-0 silk sutures following flap surgery - A randomized clinical trial.

Background: The efficacy of surgical interventions relies on appropriate closure of the surgical site, which should also be devoid of bacteria. Plaque accumulation is a constant challenge that hampers the healing outcome. Sutures used to close the wound serve as reservoirs for microbes, increasing the risk of surgical site infections (SSIs).

Impact of Pressure and Gas/Oil Ratios (GORs) on the Optimal Parameters for Surfactant Formulations in Chemical EOR: Experimental Study.

Surfactant chemical-enhanced oil recovery plays a crucial role in achieving ultralow interfacial tension between remaining crude oil and injected water, thereby enhancing oil recovery rates. This study aims to investigate the impact of pressure and gas/oil ratios (GORs) on surfactant flooding for enhanced oil recovery, focusing on high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) conditions. High-temperature salinity screening was employed to identify optimal surfactant formulations for Type III microemulsions.

Relationship Between Sleep Quality and Scholastic Performance in Dental Undergraduate Students-A Scoping Review.

Introduction: The review was intended to evaluate the relationship of the nature of sleep with academic performances among undergraduate dental students.

Materials And Methods: Scopus, Embase, Medline, and Web of Science databases were explored using a combination of MeSH terminologies for studies published until May 2023. JBI Institute's Critical Appraisal Checklist was considered for data extraction and quality assessment while Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation was considered for the assessment of certainty of evidence.
