Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the impact of adding zinc oxide (ZnO) and titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles to denture base resin on its surface hardness and flexural strength during chewing and occlusal loading.
  • Five groups of acrylic resin samples were created, with one group being a control and the others containing different concentrations of nanoparticles, and their properties were tested using specific machinery.
  • Results showed that the modified denture resins had significantly improved properties, with the highest surface hardness from 1% TiO and the best flexural strength from 1% ZnO, indicating better durability compared to conventional resins.

University Center for Research and Development, Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab 140413, India; Medical Laboratories Techniques Department, AL-Mustaqbal University, Hillah, Babil 51001, Iraq. Electronic address:

Background: The study aims to explore the burden and trends of prostate cancer (PC) in India at the state level from 1990 to 2021, using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study.

Methods: The health metrics including age-standardised incidence rates (ASIR), prevalence rates (ASPR), disability-adjusted life years (ASDR), and mortality rates (ASMR) per 100,000 for PC were analysed across Indian states and union territories. Join point regression analysis was employed to identify significant changes in these metrics over time.

Article Synopsis
  • Osteotomy procedures can use either conventional rotary instruments or piezoelectric surgery, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks related to precision and patient recovery.
  • A systematic review of literature compared outcomes between these two techniques, analyzing factors like postoperative pain, swelling, and surgical time.
  • The review found no significant difference in swelling, but piezoelectric surgery led to less postoperative pain and better tissue integration, albeit at the cost of longer surgical times.

Article Synopsis
  • The outbreak of Monkeypox (Mpox), especially the clade 1b variant, has become a significant global health issue, particularly in Africa, which is experiencing ongoing epidemics that require urgent attention and study.
  • This research analyzes data from the most affected African countries, using time series techniques to predict Mpox trends and assess the growth in new cases from August 2023 to August 2024.
  • Results indicate a worrying upward trend in Mpox cases, with projections suggesting nearly 6,923 cumulative cases in about 65 weeks, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and tailored public health responses to manage the outbreak effectively.

Article Synopsis
  • The review examines how different methods for creating removable partial dentures (RPDs), both traditional and digital, impact the accuracy of fit and precision.
  • A thorough analysis of literature identified 8 key studies, revealing that fabrication techniques like resin milling and selective laser melting produce varying levels of fit accuracy, with resin milling using PEEK being the most precise.
  • Common assessment methods include silicone-based evaluations and digital superimposition, which are effective for measuring how well RPDs fit after fabrication.

  • West Nile Virus (WNV) poses a significant global health risk, expanding into new regions due to climate change enhancing mosquito activity, leading to year-round virus transmission.
  • Recent advancements in genomic technologies have improved understanding of WNV's behavior and potential treatment options, yet the lack of an approved vaccine means management relies heavily on supportive care for severe cases.
  • There is a pressing need for innovative vector control methods and adaptive public health strategies that integrate research, policy, and community efforts to effectively combat WNV's evolving challenges.

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by transient constriction and dilation of cerebral arteries, leading to severe headaches and neurological deficits. This case report describes a 41-year-old woman with chronic anemia, acute chronic kidney disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and rheumatoid arthritis who developed RCVS following transfusion of packed red blood cells (PRBCs). She experienced sudden-onset seizures and a thunderclap headache 5 days post-transfusion.

Article Synopsis
  • People living with HIV (PLWH) face increased mortality risks from air pollution due to chronic inflammation and immune dysfunction, a link that has not been widely studied.
  • A systematic review analyzed nine studies, primarily from China, revealing that long-term exposure to pollutants like particulate matter significantly correlates with higher AIDS-related and overall mortality rates in PLWH, with certain populations being more susceptible.
  • The findings indicate that targeted interventions to lessen air pollution exposure could benefit vulnerable groups, emphasizing the need for further research in this area.

  • The COVID-19 pandemic has had serious effects on maternal and neonatal health, prompting a systematic review to assess how it influences respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in newborns from infected mothers.
  • The review analyzed 22 studies and found that 11.5% of newborns from COVID-19-positive mothers experienced RDS, with a risk ratio of 2.69 indicating a significantly higher risk compared to newborns from non-infected mothers.
  • The findings stress the importance of closely monitoring and managing pregnant women with COVID-19 to reduce potential health issues in their newborns.

  • E-cigarettes are becoming popular as a way for people to quit smoking, but there are concerns about their use alongside traditional cigarettes, particularly among pregnant women, who may face increased health risks.
  • A systematic review analyzed data from 18 studies involving nearly 6 million pregnant women, finding that 4.6% of them reported using both e-cigarettes and traditional tobacco.
  • The findings suggest that dual use is a significant health issue, highlighting the need for further research and public health measures to inform and protect pregnant women from the risks of tobacco.
