Fibrin glue in managing intractable gingival bleeding in patients with inherited bleeding disorders-a quasi-experimental pilot study.

This study presents the clinical outcomes of using inhouse prepared fibrin glue for controlling gingival bleeding in patients with inherited bleeding disorders (IBD). The objective of the study was to assess the reduction in transfusion days and improvement in compliance for dental evaluation over a one-year period in a low-to-middle-income country. The quasiexperimental pilot study included 40 IBD patients with gingival bleeding.

Advanced Strategies of CAR-T Cell Therapy in Solid Tumors and Hematological Malignancies.

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cells, known as CAR-T cells, represent a promising breakthrough in the realm of adoptive cell therapy. These T-cells are genetically engineered to carry chimeric antigen receptors that specifically target tumors. They have achieved notable success in the treatment of blood-related cancers, breathing new life into this field of medical research.

Engineering siRNA therapeutics: challenges and strategies.

Small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a potential method of gene silencing to target specific genes. Although the U.S.

Pathogenic microbe detection in placental tissues supports placental pathobiome association with preterm birth risk in Pakistani women: A brief snapshot.

Preterm birth (PTB) poses great risk to neonatal health in Pakistan with few tertiary health care facilities. Role of intrauterine microbiome in maintaining healthy pregnancy has been highlighted. However, there is ongoing debate whether a true placental microbiome exist.

and : Evaluating the Therapeutic Potential of Kaempferol, Quercetin, and Catechin to Treat Chronic Epilepsy in a Rat Model.

Recently, alternative therapies are gaining popularity in the treatment of epilepsy. The present study aimed to find out the antiepileptic potential of quercetin, catechin, and kaempferol. and experiments were conducted to investigate their therapeutic potential.

A framework for designing data-driven optimization systems for neural modulation.

Neural modulation is a fundamental tool for understanding and treating neurological and psychiatric diseases. However, due to the high-dimensional space, subject-specific responses, and variability within each subject, it is a major challenge to select the stimulation parameters that have the desired effect. Data-driven optimization provides a range of different algorithms and tools for addressing this challenge, but each of these algorithms has specific strengths and limitations, and therefore must be carefully designed for a given neural modulation problem.

Investigation of Thermal Transport in Multi-Shaped Cu Nanomaterial-Based Nanofluids.

The unsteady flow of HO saturated by tiny nanosized particles with various shapes (platelets, blades, cylinders, and bricks) over a thin slit is reported. For this novel analysis, the influences of the magnetic field and heat generation/absorption are incorporated into the governing model. The dimensionless nanofluid model is attained after the successful implementation of similarity transformations.

Analysis of gut microbiota of obese individuals with type 2 diabetes and healthy individuals.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) accounts for 90% of diabetes cases worldwide. The majority of T2DM patients are obese. Dysbiosis in the gut microflora is strongly associated with the pathogenesis of obesity and T2DM; however, the microbiome of obese-T2DM individuals in the Pakistani population remains unexplored.

Association analysis and allelic distribution of deletion in CC chemokine receptor 5 gene (CCR5Δ32) among breast cancer patients of Pakistan.

Chemokine CC receptor type 5 (CCR5) is a cell surface receptor that has high affinity for chemotropic cytokines called chemokines. The CCR5 gene contains a 32 base pairs (bp) deletion (CCR5Δ32). This deletion may result in a malformed and nonfunctional receptor, reported to be responsible for the development and dissemination of different cancers.

Frequency of Sensorineural hearing loss in chronic suppurative otitis media.

Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is defined as chronic otorrhea (i.e., lasting > 6-12 weeks) through a perforated tympanic membrane.

Diagnosis and management of infectious esophagitis associated with human immunodeficiency virus infection.

Esophageal disease is a common complication and cause of morbidity in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Opportunistic infections are the leading cause of esophageal complaints and may be a predictor of poor long-term prognosis, presumably as a reflection of severe underlying HIV immunodeficiency. The esophagus may be the site of the first acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-defining opportunistic illness in a large number of patients.

Gastrointestinal and hepatic manifestations of tickborne diseases in the United States.

Signs and symptoms related to the gastrointestinal tract and liver may provide important clues for the diagnosis of various tickborne diseases prevalent in different geographic areas of the United States. We review clinical and laboratory features that may be helpful in detecting a tickborne infection. Physicians evaluating patients who live in or travel to areas where tickborne diseases are endemic and who present with an acute febrile illness and gastrointestinal manifestations should maintain a high index of suspicion for one of these disease entities, particularly if the patient has received a tick bite.
