BackgroundType 2 diabetes (T2D) is a heterogeneous disease for which (1) disease-causing pathways are incompletely understood and (2) subclassification may improve patient management. Unlike other biomarkers, germline ge...

Abstract Background This study aims to characterize the clinicopathological and immunophenotypic profile of calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) occurring in the thoracic cavity, and to elucidate its key diagnostic features fo...

BackgroundNon-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections are increasingly recognized in clinical practice, yet diagnosis remains challenging.Case presentationA 52-years-old immunocompetent male developed chronic finger in...

ABSTRACT Introduction: The treatment of Class III malocclusion has an important impact on facial and smile esthetics. Objective: To compare the facial profile attractiveness (FPA) of Class III malocclusion patients tre...

Aloe vera is known as a medicinal plant containing an active substance acemannan thought to play a role in accelerating wound healing. This study aims to determine the effect of aloe vera extract on the proliferation pha...

Access to detailed information on cells loaded with nanoparticles with nanoscale precision is of a long-standing interest in many areas of nanomedicine. In this context, designing a single experiment able to provide stat...

Tuberculosis is still a major health problem especially among immunocompromised hosts. Another problem is making diagnosis due to the unexpected presentation and localization of disease. Extrapulmonary disease may clinic...

Background. Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) affect the TMJ, masticatory muscles, and related structures. They are critical in sports medicine, as athletes face unique stressors—from facial trauma to exertional bruxi...

Here, a fifty nine year old woman with extrapulmonary tuberculosis and pyogenic infection involving cervical spine is presented. The patient had chronic renal failure and was on maintenance hemodialysis for two years. Sh...

Orbital imaging has undergone a significant transformation over the past few decades, evolving from basic radiographic techniques to sophisticated cross-sectional imaging modalities. Historically, conventional radiograph...

Background/Aim: The objective of this research was to evaluate the level of oral hygiene, the prevalence of caries, and the condition of the soft tissues in children and adolescents referred for their first orthodontic e...

Background/Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the masseter muscle volume and maximum bite force in individuals with different types skeletal malocclusion. The researchers conducted a comparative analysis to assess the rel...

Background: Ankle fractures are common injuries that often present first to general practitioners, urgent care clinicians, or emergency medical services (EMS) teams. Inadequate prehospital management such as suboptimal s...

Rheumatologic and osteoarticular syndromes occur frequently in chronic haemodialysis patients. The number and severity of these complications increase with the time on hemodialysis (HD). Beta-2 microglobulin accumulates ...

Hemophilia B is an X-linked recessive bleeding disorder caused by deficiency or dysfunction of factor IX. It typically presents with spontaneous or trauma-induced bleeding, hemarthrosis, and soft tissue hematomas. We rep...

Abstract Background Three‐dimensional computed tomographic (CT) evaluation of the cervical vertebral column enables more accurate identification of osseous and soft tissue lesions than traditional latero‐lateral radi...

ABSTRACT: Dental and maxillofacial injuries represent an important but underrecognised component of trauma during episodes of violent crowd control. Blunt and projectile forces directed toward the head frequently result ...

The well-known pubertal acceleration of growth leads to the high morpho-physiological differentiation between males and females, allowing them to fit the requirements of biological reproduction and specifically adult act...

Abstract Background Immediate implant placement (IIP) requires sufficient primary stability to permit implant-supported immediate provisionalization, which supports peri-implant soft tissue contour during healing, partic...

After tooth extraction, dentists always place sterile tampons on the extracted socket to stop bleeding, to prevent infection and to reduce patients’ discomfort. Ozone is a biocompatible, bactericidal gas that can accel...

Among the reasons of childhood mortality, cancer is the leading cause ofdeath [1,2]. Of all paediatric cancers diagnosed, soft tissue sarcomas account for7%, of which approximately 50% are rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), with an...
