BioShield-12: A 3D-Printed Conformal Chest Shield for Wireless 12-Lead ECG Acquisition

Reproducible electrode placement remains a critical, unresolved challenge in wearable ECG systems, where manual electrode attachment introduces inter-session positional error that degrades signal morphology and compromises multi-lead representation. Although the 12-lead clinical...

CD38 Inhibition Enhances FXR Signaling in Male Rats With Diabetic Steatohepatitis Through SIRT1‐Dependent Suppression of NLRP3

ABSTRACT Diabetic steatohepatitis, now clinically framed within metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatohepatitis (MASH), features progressive disruption of hepatic microarchitecture alongside sterile inflammatory microdomains. Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) activity is restrained by...

A novel optimization of API release using hybrid models

Abstract Polysaccharide-based drug delivery systems have to be closely watched in terms of drug release in the body over time if they want to be able to achieve maximum therapeutic effectiveness and maintain controlled bioavailability. The work presents a data-driven framework th...

Influence of total occlusal convergence and auxiliary retentive features on regional marginal discrepancy in milled and 3D-printed short provisional crowns—an in-vitro study

This in-vitro study evaluated the influence of total occlusal convergence (TOC) (10°/20°) and auxiliary retentive features (ARF) (groove, proximal box) on regional marginal discrepancy in milled (CopraTemp PMMA) and 3D-printed (Asiga Dentatooth) short (3 mm) provisional crowns (P...

Policy Enablers for Renewable Energy Self-Consumption in Decentralised Energy Systems

Renewable energy self-consumption is increasingly relevant to Saudi Arabia not only as a sustainability measure under Saudi Vision 2030 but also as a mechanism that may support electricity system resilience, demand management, energy diversification, and investment. This study ex...

Behind the smile: forensic odontology knowledge, attitudes, and practices among dental students, interns, and practitioners in the Asir region, Saudi Arabia: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Background Forensic odontology contributes to human identification, age estimation, and medico-legal documentation, yet dental personnel’s preparedness in many regions is unclear. This study assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding forensic odonto...
