Introduction: Supra-nano spherical filled composite resin (Omnichroma, Tokuyama, Japan) with sol-gel method has 0.26 μm filler size, while nanohybrid composite resin (ENA HRi, Micerium, Italy) has 0.2-1 μm filler size. Nanofillers enhance resistance from chlorogenic acid contained in Coffea arabica. This study analyzed the surface roughness diffe

Background: Materials such as calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] are commonly used for vital pulp therapy in dentistry, but they have some limitations. Hydroxyapatite (HA) is able to induce reparative dentin; therefore, it can be used as an alternative to Ca(OH)2 for pulp treatment. However, pulp treatment materials should have some ideal characteristics,

Whether brought on by specific diseases, inherited traits, or trauma like an acci-dent, craniofacial surgery on the bones of the head or face is frequently necessary to manage these conditions. Sometimes it is necessary to remove a portion of the bone and replace it with implants, both for cosmetic and functional anatomical reasons. In addition to

Pensijilan Halal Malaysia – Pemantauan dan Penguatkuasaan (Halal Certification in Malaysia – Surveillance and Enforcement), authored by Mohd Amri Abdullah and Zalina Zakaria, is a wholesome book on halal certification, monitoring and enforcement in Malaysia. The 174-page book, published in 2023 by Penerbit Universiti Malaya, is written in the M

Photofunctionalization of titanium implants results in increasing hydrophilicity without altering the surface topography. Limited research has been done to observe the surface changes following UV irradiation and none have been performed on sandblasted acid-etched (SLA) titanium implants. Thus, this interventional experimental study aimed at assess

Oecophylla smaragdina F., the Asian weaver ant, is one of the oil palm plantation’s (Elaeis gui­ neensis) potential predators, for the invasive bagworm species Metisa plana Walker, but this ant is a nuisance species that irritates plantation workers with their sharp bites. Here we assess the foraging activities (FA) of O. smaragdina’s major wo

The purpose of this study is to examine how the consumption of renewable and nonrenewable energy, CO2 emissions, FDI, and gross capital formation affect the GDP per capita in the case of Indonesia. This study employs cointegration and ARDL to estimate the short and long-run coefficient which is preceded by ADF and PP unit root test using the annual

Abstract Background Recently, screening of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients for mismatch repair/microsatellite instability (MMR/MSI) status is widely practiced due to its potential predictive and prognostic roles and a screening tool to reveal Lynch Syndrome (LS). The purpose of the study was to evaluate concordance between immunohistochemistry (IH

This study discusses the numbers, types, shapes, and sizes of microplastics (MPs) in marine surface waters, sediments, and marine fish in Peninsular Malaysia. Research publications were gathered and organized utilizing Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Springer Link from 2015 to 2024. The review findings indicate a lack of evidence about micropla

One of the main challenges with curcumin is its hydrophobic nature, which limits its solubility and bioavailability. This issue can be addressed by using poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs). The small size and large surface area of these NPs significantly enhance drug delivery systems by improving the solubility and bioavailab
