Bilateral Tuberculum Sextum of Maxillary Permanent First Molar.

The human tooth's morphology, which includes variations in cusp numbers and patterns, is of tremendous interest to anthropologists, morphologists, and dentists. Cusp 6 is an additional cusp that is very seldom encountered in primary or permanent mandibular molars, especially first molars. A supernumerary cusp located lingual to the distobuccal cusp at the crown's distal border is cusp 6.

DFT study of Pd-doped ZrCl: a promising solution for dissolved gas molecule analysis in transformer oil.

The application of 2D materials for detecting dissolved gas molecules is essential for identifying faults in oil-immersed transformers. This study investigates the adsorption properties of ZrCl monolayer (ML) and Pd-doped ZrCl ML with six gas molecules (CO, CO, CH, CH, CH, CH) in transformer oil using the density functional approach. The adsorption behaviour was analysed by calculating and comparing the structures, charge transfer and adsorption energies.

Diagnostic performance of dual-energy CT with electron-density reconstruction for lumbar disc herniation.

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used for the evaluation of degenerative spinal disease. However, its utility is restricted in routine practice because of contraindications and a lack of widespread availability. Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) is a newer technique for the evaluation of degenerative spinal disease.

Synthesis of cefixime loaded PCL/HPMC blend nanoparticles: a controlled release study and anti-bacterial evaluation.

Aim: To enhance cefixime's effectiveness and address drug delivery challenges like concentration at the site, dose, and time, present study investigated the impact of polymer blends on cefixime's release profile.

Methods: Cefixime-loaded nanoparticles were prepared via a modified solvent evaporation method, forming a W/O/W double emulsion. Characterisation included FT-IR, zeta potential, TGA, TEM, and XRD, with in vitro studies and kinetic models used to analyse the release mechanism.

Total Marrow and Lymphoid Irradiation (TMLI) Is Associated with Good Early Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Matched Sibling Donor and Haplo-identical Transplants for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI) can deliver higher doses of irradiation without increased toxicity. This study evaluated TMLI and cyclophosphamide in patients undergoing stem cell transplantation for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). A total of 58 patients underwent matched related, unrelated, or haplo-identical donor transplantation using TMLI.
