Comparative Evaluation of Apical Leakage in Root Canal Obturation Using AH Plus Sealer, Bioceramic Sealer, and Bioceramic Sealer Incorporated With Chitosan Nanoparticles: An In Vitro Study.

Introduction Endodontic re-infections primarily occur due to the ingress of bacteria and their toxins through an incomplete seal following obturation. A variety of sealers have been developed to achieve effective integration with the different obturation materials and dentinal tubules. To choose the right endodontic sealer and application for each clinical instance, one must be aware of the attributes of the various sealers commonly used in clinical practice.

Comparative analysis of EGFR mutations in circulating tumor DNA and primary tumor tissues from lung cancer patients using BEAMing PCR.

In this study, we measured human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in both tissue and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) by using beads, emulsions, amplifications and magnetic polymerase chain reaction (BEAMing PCR). Noninvasive mutation detection by assessing circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers many advantages over tumor biopsy. One hundred non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients were enrolled, and both preoperative plasma samples and formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples were collected for the study.

Characterising a Novel Therapeutic Target for Psoriasis, TYK2, Using Functional Genomics.

Psoriasis (Ps) is a debilitating immune-mediated chronic skin condition. It affects about 1-3% of the world population, with an 8-11% prevalence in Northern European populations. Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) is a newly identified target for Ps.

Prevalence of neck pain in higher secondary students (8th to 12th standard) due to e-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic period: An online survey.

Introduction: Neck pain is a typical complaint among people who spend a lot of time on their devices. Due to the pandemic situation, students have recently shifted their studies from the classroom to e-learning, causing them to spend excessive hours on gadgets. Thus, it is of utmost importance to study the prevalence of neck pain in students using gadgets for e-learning.

Malignant Gastrointestinal Neuroectodermal Tumor, a Rare Neoplasm, Presenting With Hemoperitoneum and Malena: A Case Report.

Malignant gastrointestinal neuroectodermal tumor (GNET) are rare malignant mesenchymal tumors. The tumor can present with various symptoms like abdominal pain, anorexia, or small bowel obstruction. Here, we present a case of small intestinal GNET who presented with gastrointestinal bleed and hemoperitoneum, a rare presentation of this disease.
