Objectives. The present study was designed to determine the prevalence of premature loss primary teeth and its effect on malocclusion in Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia. Materials methods. This is an observational, cross-sectional that included 307 male children aged 9–11 years old. Clinical examinations were performed using a disposable sharp explorer, UNC periodontal probe dental mirror. samples examined clinically detect following traits: Angle's classification malocclusion, overjet,...
Background: This case report addresses the challenges of integrating orthodontic and prosthodontic treatment, particularly in clear aligner cases. The study introduces a novel milled-provisional crown with attachment (M-PCA) technique designed to enhance treatment efficacy reduce debonding, common issue therapy. Case Report: is that presents 49-year-old female patient seeking for Class III malocclusion along periodontal challenges. plan involved multidisciplinary approach, including using...
Abstract Background Natural killer (NK) cells are crucial constituents of innate immunity, playing a vital role in the early defense against viral infections and cancer. Their antiviral capabilities stem from direct cytotoxic activity infected immunoregulatory functions that modulate adaptive immune responses. In context Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), NK contribute to controlling replication limiting excessive inflammatory Aims This review highlights mechanisms underlying cell-mediated...
To evaluate the prevalence of impacted teeth in Saudi patients and compare between male female subjects.This cross-sectional study comprised who attended dental clinics major hospitals Eastern Province Arabia. Patients' records panoramic radiographs were reviewed retrospectively. Impacted excluding third molars spaces occupied by primary, permanent, transmigrated recorded from radiographs. The Pearson chi-squared test was performed to determine gender differences regarding other teeth.The...
Abstract Background COVID-19 preventive measures required a drastic shift to online teaching-learning in most of countries. Institutions used different combinations live lectures (synchronous) requiring students attend the class real-time, as well recorded uploaded by instructors be accessed per their own convenience (asynchronous). We undertook this study assess and compare perceptions regarding learning experiences synchronous versus asynchronous mode instruction using during compulsory at...
Predicting dental development in individuals, especially children, is important evaluating maturity and determining the factors that influence of teeth growth jaws. Dental can be accelerated patients with an skeletal rate related to pattern as a child. The age (DA) individual essential dentist for planning treatment relation maxillofacial growth. A deep-learning-based regression model was developed this study using panoramic radiograph images predict DA. dataset included 529 samples...
Songling virus (SGLV), a newly discovered tick-borne orthonairovirus, was recently identified in human spleen tissue. It exhibits cytopathic effects hepatoma cells and is associated with clinical symptoms including headache, fever, depression, fatigue, dizziness, but no treatments or vaccines exist for this pathogenic virus. In the current study, immunoinformatics techniques were employed to identify potential vaccine targets within SGLV by comprehensively analyzing proteins. Four proteins...
Radical nephroureterectomy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) must include some form of distal ureter management to avoid high rates tumour recurrence. It is uncertain which technique has the best oncologic outcomes. To determine resulted in lowest recurrence rate, we analyzed a multi-institutional Canadian radical database.We retrospectively patients who underwent with UTUC between January 1990 and June 2010 at 10 tertiary hospitals. Distal approaches were divided into 3...
Research literature in biomedicine and related fields contains a huge number of claims, such as the effectiveness treatments. These claims are not always consistent may even contradict each other. Being able to identify contradictory is important for those who rely on biomedical literature. Automated methods resolve them required cope with amount information available. However, research this area has been hampered by lack suitable resources. We describe methodology develop corpus which...
The study aimed to evaluate test anxiety and its relationship with demographic factors among undergraduate medical, dental, pharmacy students in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. health professions from Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Arabia participated this cross-sectional study. Test Anxiety Inventory (TAI) by Spielberger was used the score on scale ranges 20 80. Of total 1098 participants, 878 returned completed questionnaires response rate of 79.9%. In items TAI, 33% participants reported...
Astrovirus MLB1 (HAstV-MLB1) is non-enveloped RNA virus that cause acute gastroenteritis infection. Despite research progress about infection and pathogenesis of HAstV-MLB1, Currently, no vaccine has been developed to effectively combat this pathogen. The current study based on immunoinformatics reverse vaccinology approaches design next-generation, multi-epitope-based models against HAstV-MLB1. Genome-wide whole proteome data HAstV-MLB1 strain was retrieved, a series analyses were conducted...
The recent coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic led to major lifestyle changes. present study sought assess factors associated with fear seek dental care during COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia. This cross-sectional was conducted the outbreak 2020. An online questionnaire filled by a convenient sample adult residents through mobile instant messaging application. following measures were collected: sociodemographic characteristics, using validated Fears Illness and Virus Evaluation scale,...
Background: Neurosurgery is considered one of the most admired surgical specializations. Still, as evidenced by observations over years, it not amongst top choices medical students in Saudi Arabia. This study will help understanding perception and attitudes interns toward neurosurgery specialization, which aid developing strategies to increase interest undergraduates specialization bridge human resource gap this vital specialty. Objectives: aimed assess perceptions, attitudes, gender...
Purpose: To analyze the prevalence and resistance rates of bacterial agents causing urinary tract infections (UTIs) in Aseer, Saudi Arabia (2013–2016). Patients Methods: This was a 4-year (2013–2016) retrospective study undertaken Aseer Central Hospital, Arabia. A total 49,779 urine other UT specimens obtained from patients suspected having UTI were analyzed. Urine inoculated onto cystine lactose electrolyte deficient agar following standard procedures. Cultures showing significant...
Natural Killer (NK) cells and dendritic (DC) are two innate immune that critical in regulating adaptive immunity. Cellular functions migratory responses of NK or DC can be further regulated NK-DC crosstalk involves multiple cytokine signals and/or direct cell-cell contacts. Semaphorin-3E (Sema-3E) is a member large family Semaphorin proteins play diverse regulatory different biological systems upon its binding to the cognate receptors. However, possible role(s) Sema-3E on regulation NK-cell...
Introduction. ADT is used in the management of locally advanced and metastatic disease. The detrimental effect on bone density well documented. This study assesses care gaps screening, prevention treatment osteoporosis among prostate cancer patients. Methods. We conducted a retrospective cohort for patients diagnosed with non-metastatic ADT.
