Background: Foreign body (coins, magnets, button batteries, and metallic foreign bodies) ingestion is common and causes significant morbidity and mortality in children aged six months to three years. Endoscopic removal of swallowed foreign substances is widely accepted, but sedation and general anesthesia may be required to alleviate pain and anxiety during the procedure. Dexmedetomidine is used as a sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, and analgesic.

Introduction: The coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected healthcare services, potentially leading to inequitable outcomes based on patients' socioeconomic status (SES). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) outcomes by examining disparities across SES levels.
Methods: The study analyzed non-traumatic OHCA cases registered in the Korean Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Registry from 2010 to 2021, encompassing 238,668 patients aged 18 years and older.
Boron-Doped Nano Hydroxyapatite Grafts for Bone Regeneration in Rat Mandibular Defects.

Sivas Cumhuriyet University, Sivas, Türkiye.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential effects of boron-doped nano hydroxyapatite grafts on craniofacial bone regeneration in critical bone defects in the mandibular corpus of rats, in terms of scintigraphic and histopathological aspects. Forty Wistar albino rats, with an average weight of 200-220 g, aged 16-18 weeks, and all male, were used in the study. The rats were randomly assigned to five groups, each containing 8 rats, as follows: group C1 (no procedure applied to the mandible), group C2 (surgical defect created in the mandible but no treatment applied), group nHA (nano hydroxyapatite applied to the surgical defect area), group nHA + B1 (nano hydroxyapatite + 1% boron applied to the surgical defect area), and group nHA + B2 (nano hydroxyapatite + 2% boron applied to the surgical defect area).

Article Synopsis
- Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) was studied for its effects on improving motor function and neural plasticity in stroke patients, with a focus on different brain targets like the primary motor area (M1) and the supplementary motor area (SMA).
- Fifty-four participants were divided into three groups (M1, SMA, and Sham) and underwent rTMS treatments, with outcomes assessed using various scales and functional MRI to measure brain activity and connectivity changes.
- Results showed significant improvements in motor function and balance scores for the SMA group compared to the Sham group, and correlations between brain activity in specific areas and recovery outcomes, indicating the effectiveness of targeted rTMS therapy.
