Background: Vitamin B is an essential micronutrient, aids in synthesis of neurotransmitters, and vital for cognitive function. In the current younger population with more of electronic gadgets and scientific world seems to slow down critical thinking and impairs the trick of comprehensive subjective learning. Vitamin B deficiency has been linked to insulin-resistant state and future cardiovascular risk.

It is often asymptomatic but linked to severe conditions like cirrhosis and liver cancer. Previous research indicates that people often underestimate MASLD risks.

Adropin, a peptide discovered in 2008, has gained recognition as a key regulator of cardiovascular health and metabolic balance. Initially identified for its roles in energy balance, lipid metabolism, and glucose regulation, adropin has also been found to improve cardiovascular health by enhancing endothelial function, modulating lipid profiles, and reducing oxidative stress. These protective mechanisms suggest that adropin may be able to help prevent conditions such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, and other cardiovascular diseases.

- - The study investigates how variations in the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene may increase the likelihood of coronary heart disease (CHD) among young South Indians, focusing on specific genetic polymorphisms G-894T and T-786C.
- - Conducted from January to May 2022 with 91 CHD patients and 91 controls, the research involved blood sample analysis for nitric oxide levels and genetic testing using PCR and RFLP methods.
- - Results indicated significantly lower nitric oxide levels in CHD patients compared to controls, suggesting that the T-786C and G-894T gene polymorphisms are linked with an increased risk of CHD.
Objective: Using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), this study compared three rotary file systems-XP Endoshaper, Hyflex CM, and K3 XF-for centering, canal transportation, and root canal area growth.
Materials And Methods: The rotating file system randomly separated 60 removed human mandibular molars into three groups ( = 20). Manufacturer-recommended root canal instrumentation was done.
