Explainable AI-Based Pulmonary Nodule Classification from Computed Tomography Images with an End-to-End Clinical Decision Support Interface

Abstract Early and accurate detection of pulmonary nodules in computed tomography (CT) imaging is critical for reducing lung cancer mortality. Although deep learning-based computer-aided detection (CAD) systems have demonstrated promis-ing diagnostic performance, their widespread...

Pectinase-Based Bioprocesses for Circular Bioeconomy and Sustainable Industrial Development.

Pectinases play a vital role in the degradation of pectic part of the plant cell wall and are considered in the group of hydrolytic enzymes. In the present scenario, demand of economically feasible and environment friendly techniques and approaches has significantly led the resea...

Global, regional and national burden of pertussis in 1990–2023: a Global Burden of Disease study

Despite long-standing immunization programs, pertussis remains a major cause of vaccine-preventable mortality, particularly among infants. Here we present a primary assessment of global pertussis incidence, mortality and disability-adjusted life years across 204 countries and ter...

Tuberculous lymphadenitis presenting with extensive internal jugular, subclavian, and brachiocephalic vein thrombosis: a case report

Tuberculous lymphadenitis is the most common form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis; however, associated major venous thrombosis is uncommon and may delay diagnosis because of its atypical presentation. Internal jugular vein thrombosis associated with tuberculosis remains rarely rep...

Comparative evaluation of serum interleukin-1β levels in patients with oral lichen planus and healthy subjects: a hospital-based case-control study

Oral lichen planus is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disorder of the oral mucosa and is considered an oral potentially malignant disorder. Interleukin − 1β (IL-1β), a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of OLP and may reflect inflamma...

Impact of R/NIR irradiation of blood on selected hemostatic parameters during and after cardiopulmonary bypass in pigs

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with significant hemostatic disturbances. Red/near-infrared (R/NIR) light, also known as low-level light therapy (LLLT), may attenuate these effects. This study investigated the impact of R/NIR irradiation on selected hemostatic paramete...

Transforming Pediatric Dentistry with Chitosan Gel: Current Evidence and Emerging Trends—A Scoping Review

Chitosan, a hydrogel derived from chitin via deacetylation, exhibits antimicrobial, bioadhesive, and regenerative properties, making it a promising biomaterial in pediatric dentistry. Despite extensive research, a comprehensive review of its preventive, restorative, and regenerat...

Effectiveness of Flipped Classroom and Traditional Didactic Classroom in Paediatric Dentistry Education—A Systematic Review With Meta‐Analysis of Randomised Controlled Trials

ABSTRACT Introduction The flipped classroom (FC) is a contemporary teaching strategy that has gained considerable attention in recent years. This model relies on technology‐based resources, including videos and handouts, to deliver illustrative content and core subject material t...

Cognitive preferences and hemispheric preference: an analysis of learning and thinking styles among undergraduate students

This study examines the influence of brain hemisphere preference on the learning and thinking styles of undergraduate students in the Malappuram district, Kerala, India. The primary aims were to identify students’ hemispheric preference using SOLAT test, assess their learning and...

Prevalence of anemia by causes, and severity in different age groups in India: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Background: Anemia continues to be a significant public health concern in India, affecting various age groups and carrying substantial economic and health burdens. In India, nutritional anemia, predominantly from iron deficiency, is a significant challenge to public heal...

Clinical and radiographic evaluation of autologous sticky bone versus PRF with OCP-coated deproteinized bovine bone graft in periodontal infrabony defect regeneration: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Periodontal therapy aims to regenerate the attachment apparatus, including alveolar bone, periodontal ligament, and cementum. Infrabony defects are linked with periodontal progression if left untreated. To address limitations of conventional regenerative mater...

Luminal unicystic ameloblastoma in an 8 years old child: a case report

Unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) is a less aggressive biological variant of ameloblastoma that mostly affects younger individuals. It often mimics an odontogenic cyst clinically; however, radiographic features can help in distinguishing. Its occurrence in pediatric patients at such a...

Nocebo-induced cardiopulmonary symptoms following sertraline initiation mimicking acute cardiac pathology: a case report

Nocebo effects are increasingly recognized as important contributors to perceived adverse events during the early phases of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) therapy. Expectation-driven symptoms may mimic pharmacological adverse effects or acute medical conditions, le...
