Restoration of aesthetics, function and comfort in badly compromised dentition and its supporting tissues often poses a great challenge. The long term success of such cases depends largely on simultaneous achieving of satisfying aesthetics and a harmonious occlusion. Proper examination, evaluation and diagnosis of the prevailing oral conditions serve as a prelude to a rationalized treatment plan and its ultimate success. Invariably, it also becomes significant to understand and recognize the consequences of long term negligence by the patient. An unattended such condition, apart from causing compromised oral functions may also lead to neuromuscular problems in and around temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) causing frequent pain in the region and unyielding headaches. Restoring physiologically advised health conditions from habitual positions and functions may require time, patience and effort by both - the patient and the dentist. A complete rehabilitation may also require involvement of more than one disciplines of dentistry. The case report highlights the contributions from prosthodontists, periodontists, endodontists and the radiologist as a team in complete rehabilitation of the patient.

No significant relationship found between spontaneous motor tempo, heartbeat, and individual alpha frequency: an analysis of internal tempos.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Department of Life Sciences, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan.
Many theories of time perception propose the existence of an internal pacemaker, and studies across behavioral, physiological, and neuroscience fields have explored this concept. Specifically, Spontaneous Motor Tempo (SMT), the most comfortable and natural tapping tempo for each individual, is thought to reflect this internal pacemaker's tempo. Changes in heart rate are also linked to time estimation, while Individual Alpha Frequency (IAF), the peak in the alpha range (8-13 Hz) observed in EEG, is reported to reflect the brain's temporal processing.

Department of Urinary Surgery, Jiashan County Chinese Medicine Hospital Jiaxing, Zhejiang, China.
Objective: To explore the effects and safety of the flexible vacuum-assisted ureteral access sheath combined with a flexible ureteroscope for the treatment of large renal stones over 3 cm.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 122 patients with kidney stones (stone diameter ≥ 3 cm) admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to December 2022 were selected as the study subjects. According to different surgical methods, these patients were divided into an observation group and a control group, with 61 cases in each group.
Hygrometry behavior during high-flow nasal oxygen therapy and non-invasive mechanical ventilation: A narrative review of bench to clinical studies.
J Intensive Med
October 2024
Intensive Care Unit, Hospital Morales Meseguer, Murcia, Spain.
Recently, there has been growing interest in knowing the best hygrometry level during high-flow nasal oxygen and non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and its potential influence on the outcome. Various studies have shown that breathing cold and dry air results in excessive water loss by nasal mucosa, reduced mucociliary clearance, increased airway resistance, reduced epithelial cell function, increased inflammation, sloughing of tracheal epithelium, and submucosal inflammation. With the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic, using high-flow nasal oxygen with a heated humidifier has become an emerging form of non-invasive support among clinicians.

Dentistry, King Saud University, Riyadh, SAU.
The window technique is a highly useful clinical procedure for resolving several issues while taking a final impression of a patient with a mobile or displaceable anterior maxillary ridge, also referred to as a flabby ridge. This kind of ridge is particularly problematic due to the underlying tissues lacking strength and resilience, making it challenging to achieve a solid and comfortable denture fit. This typically exacerbates the problem, as conventional pressure during impression-making induces further displacement, which reduces the impression's precision.
