Introduction: The increased use of soft drinks leads to a high prevalence of dental erosion (DE), and the use of polymers can decrease tooth demineralization by a carbonated drink. Assessment of the effect of food-approved polymers such as highly esterified pectin (HP), propylene glycol alginate (PGA), and gum arabic (GA) on their efficiency to reduce enamel demineralization on addition with a commercially available carbonated drink was the main objective of this study.
Materials And Methods: For this study, 300 premolar teeth were studied for enamel erosion and were divided into five groups consisting of 60 samples in each group.

Massive localized lymphedema (MLL) is a rare disease caused by the obstruction of lymphatic vessels with specific clinical morphological and radiological characteristics. People with morbid obesity are mainly affected by MLL. Lymphedema is easily confused with soft tissue sarcoma and requires differential diagnosis, both the possibility of an MLL and also carcinoma manifestations in the soft tissues.

Background: The epiphysis cerebri (pineal gland) is a small-sized, photo neuroendocrine organ in the brain of most vertebrates. Their effect is through secretion of melatonin, a serotonin-derived hormone which is stimulated by darkness and inhibited by light and modulates the circadian rhythm; light and dark cycle like a biological clock, sleep patterns (sleep-wake cycle), and sexual development.
Aim: This study aimed to identify and differentiate the different cell types filling the pineal gland parenchyma of mature male sheep.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic is the third worldwide coronavirus-associated disease outbreak in the past 20 years. Lung involvement, with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in severe cases, is the main clinical feature of this disease; the cardiovascular system, the central nervous system, and the gastrointestinal tract can also be affected. The pathophysiology of both pulmonary and extrapulmonary organ damage was almost completely unknown when the pandemic began.

Aims: The objectives of this work were to assess the possibility of administration of omarigliptin and/or galangin to combat lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced neuroinflammation in rats and to explore the possible mechanisms that might contribute to their actions.
Materials And Methods: In a rat model of LPS-induced neuroinflammation, the changes in the behavioral tests, biochemical parameters, and the histopathological picture were assessed.
Key Findings: Administration of either omarigliptin or galangin to LPS-injected rats was able to significantly improve the behavioral changes with restoration of the oxidant/antioxidant balance, decrement of toll-like receptor-4 levels, and amelioration of the neuroinflammation associated with inhibition of apoptosis and restoration of glucagon-like peptide-1 levels in the cerebral tissues.
