Polymer composites are known for its light weight and specific mechanical characteristics. This study examines sodium hydroxide (NaOH)-treated coir fiber, an agro-leftover, stuffed in a polyester matrix with termite frass powder, a bio-leftover for possible use in light-weight structural applications. Composite samples were made using compression molding and NaOH-treated coir fiber reinforced hybrid polymer composite (TCRHPC) with 40 wt% treated coir fiber and 1, 2, 3, and 4 wt% termite frass powder.

- The study assessed how consenting to the Rick Hansen Spinal Cord Injury Registry (RHSCIR) affected patients' outcomes after spinal cord injuries, including hospital stay length, mortality, complications, and discharge location.
- A retrospective analysis was done using data from 2014-2019, comparing three groups: those who provided full consent, those who declined follow-up interviews but accepted some data collection, and those who didn't consent at all.
- Results showed that participants who declined full consent experienced longer hospital stays, more complications like pneumonia and pressure injuries, and were less likely to be discharged home compared to those who consented fully.

Objective: To evaluate the occurrence of genotoxic and cytotoxic effects in oral epithelium after exposure of patients to cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Methods: A systematic review (SR) was conducted following the PECO (Population, Exposure, Comparison, Outcome) criteria. The study was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO).
