Preliminary Clinical Case Series for Evaluation of a Novel Bi-Dimensional Archwire During Miniscrew-Supported En-Masse Retraction of the Maxillary Anterior Teeth

Background/Objectives: Efficient en-masse retraction of the maxillary anterior teeth requires adequate anchorage control while maintaining acceptable incisor torque. This prospective clinical case series aimed to provide an initial clinical evaluation of a novel laser-welded bi-d...

Critical evaluation of AI-assisted HPLC method development: a case study of ranolazine analysis with systematic assessment of prediction accuracy and human optimization requirements

This study introduces a parameter-level quantitative framework for the systematic evaluation of AI prediction accuracy in RP-HPLC method development ; a methodological contribution not previously established in the literature using ranolazine as a model analyte. Four AI platforms...

Inflammation-Modified Odontogenic Keratocyst Mimicking an Inflammatory Cyst: A Clinically Silent Case

Abstract Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a developmental odontogenic cyst with distinctive histopathological features and a recognized potential for recurrence. However, secondary inflammation may significantly alter or obscure its classical histopathological features, resulting...

Optical-thermal modeling and treatment planning of ICG-enhanced interstitial photothermal therapy using cylindrical diffuser fibers

Interstitial photothermal therapy (IPTT) enhanced with indocyanine green (ICG) represents a minimally invasive approach with growing interest for localized thermal ablation of deep-seated tumors. In this work, an optical–thermal modeling framework is developed to investigate heat...

Efficacy of 810 nm low-level laser therapy on muscle regeneration after bupivacaine-induced myonecrosis in a rabbit model

Skeletal muscle tissue has considerable regenerative capacity following injury; yet, this process may be gradual and constrained. Bupivacaine, a local anaesthetic, serves as a model for inducing muscle damage in experimental research. Low-level laser treatment (LLLT), also referr...

Knowledge, Attitudes, and Readiness of Pharmacy Faculty toward Competency-Based Learning in Syrian Universities: A Cross-Sectional Study

<ns5:p> Background Competency-based learning (CBL) is transformative in health professions education, yet its adoption in Syrian pharmacy education remains unexamined, especially after the country’s prolonged conflict. Methods A cross-sectional study (autumn 2022) surveyed pharma...
