Objective. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the prevalence of dental anomalies that could be a cause of malocclusion in the western region of Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods. A retrospective study of 878 digital orthopantomograms (OPGs) taken of patients, age ranging between 12 and 30 years, who presented to treatment at the Faculty of Dentistry, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia between 2002 and 2011. The OPGs and dental records were reviewed for congenitally missing teeth, supernumerary teeth, impactions, ectopic eruption, transposition, germination, fusion, dilacerations, taurodontism, dens in dent, and any other unusual conditions that can be assessed with OPG. Results. The prevalence of patient that exhibited at least one dental anomaly was 396 (45.1%) patients. The prevalence of congenitally missing teeth was 226 (25.7%), impacted teeth 186 (21.1%), dilacerated teeth 10 (1.1%), supernumerary teeth 3 (0.3%), odontoma 1 (0.1%), and taurodontism was also 1 case (0.1%) of the total radiographs reviewed. Conclusions. Congenitally missing teeth were found to be the most prevalent anomaly (25.7%), and the second frequent anomaly was impacted teeth (21.1%), whereas root dilacerations, supernumerary teeth, and taurodontism were the least frequent anomalies (1.1%, 0.3% and 0.1%, resp.).

Al-air batteries are distinguished by their high theoretical energy density, yet their broader application is hindered by hydrogen evolution corrosion. This research focuses Beta (+) d-glucose (S1) and Adonite (S2) as potential corrosion inhibitors for the Al-5052 alloy within a 4 M NaOH solution. Utilizing electrochemical techniques, hydrogen evolution assessments, and surface analyses, our findings indicate enhancements in anode utilization by 21.

Exosomes, which are considered nanoscale extracellular vesicles (EVs), are secreted by various cell types and widely distributed in different biological fluids. They consist of multifarious bioactive molecules and use systematic circulation for their transfer to adjoining cells. This phenomenon enables exosomes to take part in intercellular and intracellular communications.

The research of chiral separation technology is of great significance for understanding the origin of life and promoting the application of chiral molecules. Herein, anionic chiral pillar[6]arene and cationic pillar[6]arene were designed and synthesized, and a chiral pillar[6]arene membrane was constructed by layer-by-layer assembly through electrostatic interactions. The transport rates of l and d in this channel were 14.

In this study, we have investigated the reactivity of thioamides with alcohols by utilizing HPO as a low-toxicity, cost-effective Brønsted acid catalyst. This report includes a methodology for the synthesis of thioesters from thioamides and 2-hydroxyaryl alcohols. Thioesters are emerging as a notable class of organic molecules due to their biological relevance, extensive use in drug discovery, and industrial applications.

Due to a lack of high-quality water, farmers have been compelled to use sewage water for irrigation, contaminating agricultural soils with multiple heavy metals. For the remediation of contaminated soil, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), pressmud (PM), and iron (III) oxide were used to improve the growth and phytostabilization potential of chickpea grown in contaminated soil. Contaminated soil was collected from a nearby field, receiving sewage and factory water over the last 60 years.
