Ergonomics and Musculoskeletal Disorders among Dental Students and Practitioners
Full text linkstudy to determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among dental students and dental practitioners in Calicut district
Detection and Relative Quantitation of Changes in Gene Expression of HIPPO Proteins in Doxorubicin-Exposed Human Cells by RT-qPCR
Full text linkThe HIPPO signaling pathway plays a key role in cell proliferation and tumor suppression. It consists of serine/threonine kinase cascades, including MST1/2, LATS1/2, YAP, and TAZ. When the HIPPO pathway is activated, gene expression is altered. Dysfunction of the activity of this cascade may contribute to cancer development and chemoresistance. FAT4 is an intracellular protein that may regulate the HIPPO signaling. The purpose of this study is to determine the relative changes of mRNA of the HIPPO pathway members and FAT4 in doxorubicin-treated and vehicle-treated in vitro cell lines
Pathogenic Implications of Candidal Species in Both Oral Cancer and Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders - A Review
Full text linkOral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the 6th most common cancer in worldwide. Cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and betel quid chewing are its major risk factors other factors that can lead to OSCC include excessive sun exposure, viral or fungal infection, poor nutrition, and poor oral hygiene. The carcinogenesis of OSCC occurs gradually and oral epithelial dysplasia is considered a potential histologic precursor of OSCC. Most OSCC cases are preceded by clinically evident oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs). The aim of this review is to correlate the association between Candida species and oral potentially malignant disorders and its possible mechanisms in oral cancer progression
Substance Use Disorder (SUD)- The Impact of SUD in Utah
Full text linkSubstance use disorder (SUD) is a manageable mental disorder that causes affected individuals to lose control over their use of substances such as drugs or alcohol. The cost of this disorder leads to the loss of billions of dollars each year. The purpose of this study is to explore ways to minimize the cost SUD bring to Utah and the United States
A Pharmacist’s Central Role in Improving Hormonal Contraceptive Access
Full text linkIn 2019, the roles of Utah pharmacists grew with the implementation of a statewide standing order allowing prescribing abilities for hormonal contraceptives. With the rates of unplanned pregnancies in Utah up to 1 in every 5; pharmacists have a new role in birth control distribution. Pharmacists and pharmacy interns across the state of Utah are able to prescribe self-administered hormonal contraceptive medications including: oral pills, vaginal insertion medications, and birth control patches. Pharmacists are entrusted with the responsibility to evaluate the patient and their needs to ensure all women receiving birth control are educated about the risks and side effects of hormonal contraceptives and given information supporting successful use
Influence of abutments surface (machined vs. laser-microgrooved) in soft-tissue response during one year of function: clinical and biochemical outcomes of a RCT with split-mouth design
Full text linkTo evaluate peri-implant soft tissue behaviour around machined vs laser-microgrooved implants/healing/prosthetic abutments during 1 year of function by assessing IL-6, IL-1b and MMP-8 levels in peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF)
LIGAPLANT: RECREATING NATURAL FROM ARTIFICIAL
Full text linkMissing teeth can be substituted by the use of the dental implants. The most widely used implants in the current scenario are the osseointegrated implants with various shortcomings and the most prominent one is the lack of the periodontal ligament. To overcome this, implants with periodontal ligaments can be procured and this can be possible by the application of the tissue engineering concept along with suitable implant material
Vitamin D and Dental Caries
Full text linkInsufficient levels of vitamin D has become an oral health concern as it has been linked to hypocalcification in the oral cavity. Dental caries affect nearly half of the world’s population resulting in it becoming the most prevalent disease. This study aims to further analyze how vitamin D levels can affect the prevalence of dental caries
Dissecting the Impact of Medicinal Plants on Systemic Diseases
Full text linkFor this literature review, a range of databases were used such as Google Search, PubMed, and Web of Science (mentioned all the ones you used). The search strategy used was a combination of terms such as medicinal plant compounds, plant polysaccharides on metabolic diseases, effects of berberine on diabetes mellitus, and effects of medicinal plants on Alzheimer\u27s. Articles chosen for review were published between 2020 and 2022, and only studies in the English language were considered. The majority of the selected studies were devised to observe and analyze the effects of medicinal plant compounds on various systemic diseases. Medicinal plants have showcased promising outcomes in palliating systemic diseases with fewer side effects in comparison to traditional medicine. The observed beneficial impacts, particularly with compounds like Berberine, indicate the potential for further exploration and clinical trials in formulating alternative therapeutic approaches for diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cancer, or Alzheimer’s
Investigating the Interplay between Glucose Regulation, Neural Activity, and Motivation: A Novel Approach Utilizing Vibration Stimulation
Full text linkThis research explores the intricate relationship between glucose regulation, neural activity, and motivation in key brain regions, including the hypothalamus, basal ganglia, ventral tegmental area (VTA), and nucleus accumbens (NA). We aim to unravel the potential relationship of these factors on dopamine (DA) release and the broader implications for mental health, glucose regulation, well-being, and overall health. Our innovative approach involves using a chair that causes heterodyned whole-body vibration designed to stimulate DA release from the VTA and NA, areas associated with motivation and rewards
