Effect of Chia Seed Oil Addition on Bacterial Adhesion, Tensile Strength, and Hardness in Soft Denture Liners (An in-vitro study)
No full textDenture soft liners play a critical role in enhancing patient comfort and preventing tissue irritation, especially in individuals with resorbed ridges. However, their long-term use is hindered by microbial colonization, particularly Candida albicans, leading to conditions such as denture-induced stomatitis. This study aimed to evaluate the mechanical properties and antibacterial effectiveness of heat-cured soft liners incorporating Chia seed oil at 0.5% and 2% concentrations. A control group was compared to these formulations, and Staphylococcus epidermidis was used to assess bacterial adherence. Hardness and tensile strength were measured using a durometer and a universal testing machine, respectively, while statistical analysis employed one-way ANOVA and Tukey tests. Results showed that both concentrations of Chia seed oil significantly reduced bacterial adherence (P < 0.01) but also led to a decrease in hardness and tensile strength (P < 0.05). These findings highlight the potential of Chia seed oil as an antimicrobial additive in soft liners, offering improvements in oral health and patient care outcomes
Enhancing Communication: Real-Time Sign Language Detection with Deep Learning and Python
No full textDeaf and hard-of-hearing people use sign language detection to communicate. Sign language is crucial for deaf and hard of hearing people to communicate. Recent advances in computer vision and machine learning have enabled sign language gesture recognition and decipherment. Abstract: Deep learning and computer vision techniques for sign language identification systems are studied and developed. Insufficient datasets and regional sign language gesture variations are discussed in this research. The suggested methods improve sign language recognition system precision and responsiveness, improving deaf community accessibility and inclusivity. Deploying the model on powerful hardware and using TensorFlow's GPU support allows low-latency sign identification for real-world applications. Our experiments show that the system can recognize sign motions in real time with high accuracy and minimal latency. Deaf and hard-of-hearing people can communicate and live better with this technology, making sign language more inclusive.

INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF CHITOSAN NANOPARTICALS ON MDR BACILLUS CEREUS ISOLATED FROM PASTEURIZED MILK
No full textThe current study focused on extending the storage life of pasteurized milk by taking advantage of nanoparticles of the biopolymer known as chitosan, where the nanoparticles were synthesized based on a green technology, meaning that it does not have any negative harm to the synthetic material. The laboratory-synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by a size ranging from 100 to 140 nanometers when examined immediately after the anthesis and the size when examined two weeks after the anesthesia, the size was 115-220 nm, using a transmission electron microscope (TEM) of the type Philips CM10. By studying the inhibitory action of the nanoparticles in the Muller-Hinton agar culture medium, it was found that the synthesized particles have the ability to combat the pathogenic Bacillus cereus bacteria that form blackboards when using different concentrations (0. 25 - 0. 5 - 1%), where it was found that the best diameter of the contrast corona was (14-15 mm at the two concentrations (0. 5) (1) sequentially When testing the biological validity of pasteurized milk at a temperature of 5 semen for a period of -1-15-30 days of storage and after adding nano-chitosan using the three aforementioned concentrations, it was found that the number of B. cereus It was varied as it reached on the first day when using the three concentrations 10 FU/ml 1 x, but on the fifteenth day the numbers were as follows 10 CFU/ml 2 x 10 -3 x 10 - 5 x and according to the concentrations (0. 25) - 0. 5 - 1% On the thirtieth day, the bacterial numbers decreased in pasteurized milk fortified with nanoparticles of chitosan, and the result was as follows (10 CFU/mL (10) - 10 - 2 x relative to the three concentrations, respectively). This result was an indication of the effectiveness of nanoparticles of chitosan in preventing cell growth. vegetation and the formation of new spores compared with the number of Bacillus cereus, which is approximately 107 CFU/ml x when pasteurized milk is stored for 15 days at a temperature of 5°C. It indicates contamination of milk and its products. It has been observed that increasing the concentration of added nano-chitosan increases the antimicrobial activity
The Effect Of Prophylactic Intravenous Tranexamic Acid On Blood Loss After Vaginal Delivery In Women At Low Risk Of Postpartum Hemorrhage
No full textTo determine the impact of prophylactic tranexamic acid (TA) on both calculated and observed blood loss in women undergoing vaginal delivery who are at low risk of postpartum hemorrhage. This double-blind randomized controlled trial involved 140 women with singleton pregnancies, who were randomly assigned to either receive a placebo or one gram of intravenous tranexamic acid (TA) in combination with 10 IU of oxytocin at the time of fetal delivery. Blood loss was estimated based on hematocrit levels measured before delivery and 12–24 hours postpartum. The blood loss was further quantified by measuring the time elapsed from fetal delivery to placental expulsion and from placental expulsion to the conclusion of the second hour after childbirth. The intervention group experienced significantly lower measured blood loss from placental delivery to two hours postpartum (68 (39) vs. 107 (53) mL, P < 0.001) and reduced mean (SD) calculated total blood loss (516 (312) vs. 655 (400) mL, P = 0.036) compared to the control group. However, there was no notable difference between the groups in blood loss from fetal delivery to placental expulsion. Additionally, the frequency of estimated blood loss exceeding 1000 mL was lower in the TA group (8% vs. 19%, P = 0.048). In conclusion, prophylactic use of tranexamic acid benefits women at low risk of postpartum hemorrhage by effectively reducing blood loss after vaginal delivery. Its preventive use could enhance maternal health and mitigate issues related to excessive blood loss
