Impact of Smoking and Drinking Habits on Lipid Profiles in Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Individuals & Their Oral Implications
Get PDFThe rising prevalence of lifestyle-related diseases, notably diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), underscores the importance of investigating modifiable risk factors such as smoking and alcohol consumption. These habits are known to influence lipid profiles, crucial indicators of cardiovascular health. Main aim of this study To investigate & evaluate the effect of smoking and drinking habits on lipid profiles of diabetic and non-diabetic individuals and their oral implications
Awareness of the 20-20-20 Rule Amongst Students, Faculty, and Staff
Get PDFIn the past several years, medical schools have increased utilization of recorded lectures and electronic devices: computers, smartphones, and tablets. Increased screen exposure hours where students, faculty, and staff may acquire eye strain. Many are not aware of the 20-20-20 rule: for every 20 minutes of screen time, it is recommended to look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds; a reminder to take frequent breaks to help prevent eye strain. We want to share reports from our institution regarding student, faculty and staff digital device usage and awareness of the 20-20-20 rule
Investigating Optimal Laboratory Growth Conditions of Gracilibacillus halotolerans in Media Supplemented with Salt
Get PDFAs interest continues to grow in the field of persister cells and their morphology, there arises an ever-evolving desire to further understand specific strains of bacteria that exemplify the qualities of seemingly anomalous survival regardless of anti-bacterial treatment. In the case of the Gracilibacillus halotolerans, a halotolerant extremophile extracted from the Great Salt Lake with known persistent characteristics, uncovering its optimal growth conditions was essential for future investigations. Identifying the optimal salinity for the growth of G. halotolerans will allow us to standardize our growth methods, uncover several mechanisms of saline tolerance, and add to future investigations of persistence with this bacterium
Dentofacial Effects of Radiotherapy on Pediatric Population with Retinoblastoma
Get PDFThis literature review investigates the dentofacial consequences of radiotherapy in young patients with retinoblastoma by referencing current research. In addition, the management and rehabilitation of the dentofacial abnormalities, highlighting orthodontic, surgical, and prosthetic approaches, is examined. By understanding the changes of dentofacial development due to retinoblastoma treatment, effective management techniques can be implemented to resolve significant issues, relating to dental and skeletal relationship and facial appearance
EFFECT OF LOW INTENSITY PULSED ULTRASOUND (LIPUS) AND EMDOGAIN ON ROOT RESORPTION IN AMELOGENIN KNOCKOUT (AMEX) MICE
Get PDFIn amelogenesis imperfecta, mutations are often found in the amelogenin gene. Inactivation of this amelogenin gene in 6-12 month old mice has led to root resorption in teeth and an increased number of osteoclasts in their bones. The objective of this study was to determine whether local injection of Emdogain (EMD) and low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) application to the jaw has a synergistic effect on the regeneration of root resorption (RR) in Amelogenin knockout (AMEX) mice; the ideal model representing Amelogenesis Imperfecta
Anti-erosion potential of fluoride solutions associated with aminomethacrylate copolymer: in situ randomized crossover study
Get PDFThe anti-erosion potential of fluoride solutions associated with aminomethacrylate (AMC) was evaluated in the presence of acquired pellicle on enamel and dentin. It is concluded that AMC was able to increase the anti-erosion potential of fluoride solutions in the presence of acquired pellicle
Exploring Glucose Dysregulation in Migraine: Insights from Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Get PDFDespite being associated with hypoglycemia for nearly a century, a definitive relationship between migraines and glucose dysregulation remains elusive. Accumulating evidence suggests that migraines are in part due to a metabolic mismatch between cerebral demand and available energy. Research analyzing plasma glucose levels and migraine activity may further elucidate this interface between metabolic dysregulation and migraine pathophysiology and may potentially open avenues for therapeutic interventions targeting holistic metabolism for migraine management
Quantifying community-based pharmacy student operational and clinical rotation (IPPE) activities.
Get PDFThe purpose of this study is to identify and describe trends in the quantity and proportion of operational and clinical activities performed by students on introductory (IPPE) rotations
