We assessed the prevalence, predictors, and in-hospital and long-term outcomes of conservative medical management for patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) compared with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). This prospective study conducted from October 2008 to June 2009 in 65 hospitals from 6 Arabian Gulf countries included 30-day and 1-year mortality follow-up for 3661 patients. Compared with conservative management group (2859 patients; 78.1%), the PCI group (638; 17.4%) had significantly better unadjusted and adjusted in-hospital (odds ratio [OR]: 0.40, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.17-0.97), 30-day (OR: 0.44, 95% CI: 0.24-0.76) and 1-year (OR: 0.58, 95% CI: 0.40-0.87) mortality rates. Comparison with the CABG group (164; 4.5%) yielded similar results with inclusion of patients scheduled for CABG after hospital discharge. Independent predictors of conservative medical management were mainly country of residence and history of prior CABG.

Sox genes encode a family of transcription factors that regulate multiple biological processes during metazoan development, including embryogenesis, tissue homeostasis, nervous system specification, and stem cell maintenance. The planarian Dugesia japonica contains a reservoir of stem cells that grow and divide continuously to support cellular turnover. However, whether SOX proteins retain these conserved functions in planarians remains to be determined.

Objectives: To assess the validity of light-induced and laser-induced fluorescence devices compared to the visual-tactile method for detecting secondary caries around resin composite restorations.
Materials And Methods: The study included 20 participants with 30 resin-composite restored teeth. Restorations' margins were examined using three diagnostic methods: the visual-tactile method (FDI criteria), the light-induced fluorescence camera (VistaCam iX), and the laser-induced fluorescence device (DIAGNOdent pen), and the reference was visual inspection after removal of defective restorations.

Pulpotomy, which belongs to vital pulp therapy, has become a strategy for managing pulpitis in recent decades. This minimally invasive treatment reflects the recognition of preserving healthy dental pulp and optimizing long-term patient-centered outcomes. Pulpotomy is categorized into partial pulpotomy (PP), the removal of a partial segment of the coronal pulp tissue, and full pulpotomy (FP), the removal of whole coronal pulp, which is followed by applying the biomaterials onto the remaining pulp tissue and ultimately restoring the tooth.

This comprehensive review aims to explore and consolidate the current knowledge on dendrobine, including its biological activities, molecular mechanisms of action, effects on various physiological processes, potential toxicity, and safety considerations, in order to unlock its full potential in various applications. Dendrobine has diverse biological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, neuroprotective, immunomodulatory, and anticancer effects. Dendrobine also exerts neuroprotective effects by boosting neuronal survival, reducing neuroinflammation, and regulating neurotransmitter release.
