This study demonstrates that femtosecond laser ablation offers a precise, digitally controlled alternative to conventional rotary instruments for removing dental restorations by establishing quantitative processing windows, confirming superior surface quality with minimal thermal damage, and validating its feasibility for cavity preparation and removal in human teeth.
This qualitative study of 12 community nurses in Nanchang identifies five key themes regarding their pain management training needs, emphasizing the necessity for a systematic, practice-oriented programme that integrates clinical decision-making, flexible interactive methods, and organizational support to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world community practice.
This baseline cross-sectional study of 214 Ghanaian adults reveals a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome components, significant gender disparities, and distinct dietary patterns characterized by excessive sodium and inadequate calcium intake, underscoring the urgent need for culturally tailored interventions to address metabolic risks in this transitioning population.
This randomized controlled trial demonstrates that a four-week emotional intelligence training program significantly improves emotional intelligence, marital satisfaction, and health-related quality of life among married women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, with benefits sustained over a three-month follow-up period.
This study demonstrates that basal ganglia iron accumulation acts as a stage-dependent mediator linking plasma pTau217 to hippocampal atrophy in Alzheimer's disease, with the strongest iron-mediated effects observed during the prodromal stage.
This nationally representative cross-sectional study of Mexican adults reveals that nearly 90% of the population meets criteria for Cardiovascular–Kidney–Metabolic (CKM) syndrome, with the majority concentrated in Stage 2 and a significant burden already evident in early adulthood, highlighting an urgent need for integrated prevention strategies.
In a retrospective CBCT study of 50 patients undergoing modified periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics, both particulate and collagen-stabilized deproteinized bovine bone mineral successfully preserved labial bone dimensions at six months, though the particulate form demonstrated superior retention of augmented bone thickness, particularly at the middle level, under orthodontic loading.
This study analyzed 120 onion samples from Türkiye for 222 pesticide residues and, using both deterministic and probabilistic risk assessments, concluded that while residues were frequently detected, all levels remained well below safety thresholds, indicating a low dietary health risk for both adult and child consumers.
This study demonstrates that the aqueous root extract of *Symphytum officinale* exhibits significant osteoprotective potential against dexamethasone-induced osteoporosis in adult zebrafish by improving bone mineralization, restoring calcium and phosphorus levels, and modulating bone remodeling markers without causing developmental toxicity.
A cross-sectional study in Baddan District, Yemen, revealed a high seroprevalence (41.1%) of anti-Schistosoma mansoni IgG antibodies among residents, significantly associated with risk factors such as swimming, lack of footwear during water contact, open defecation near water sources, absence of household sanitation, and the presence of blood in stool.
