Introductions: Recurrent oral ulcers primarily effect mucosal surfaces and are among the most common chronic inflammatory diseases. Numerous studies to find the aetiopathogenesis have been conducted however the cause still remains unclear. Saliva is of utmostimportance for oral health maintenance. In current study, saliva was used as a diagnostic t

Road traffic accidents almost kill 1.35 million people around the world. Most of these accidents take place in low and middle-income countries and costs them around 3% of their gross domestic product. Around 20% of the traffic accidents are attributed to distracted drowsy drivers. Many detection systems have been designed to alert the drivers to re

Continuous release of xenobiotic chemicals to a human environment increasingly predisposes society to significant health-related risks due to their toxicity and long-term presence in the environment. Naturally occurring and manufactured polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are categorized based on their teratogenic, mutagenic and carcinogenic pr

Recently, the increasing demands of 5G of higher data rates, and lower latency have been progressively investigated to cater the modernization and technology development. In order to achieve higher data rates, it is important to improve the bandwidth as well its gain. The antenna performance is crucial to determine the achievable bandwidth and gain

Dispersal of coral larvae is influence by combination of multiple factors, yet comparisons are commonly displayed on two- or three-dimensional charts (i.e.: pelagic larvae duration vs. distance). Therefore, the present study implies the application of Dispersal Potential Index (DPi) based on the factors which influence the dispersal range and poten

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between tooth loss and the level of blood pressure with the hypothesis that tooth loss is associated with the increase of hypertension in postmenopausal women. Materials and Methods: Sixty postmenopausal female patients aged 51–68 years were included in the study to assess the relationsh

Introduction and Aim: Accurate assessment of renal function in the critically ill is a complex task. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is the best indicator to help physicians estimate kidney function and determine different stages of kidney disease. eGFR can be calculated using serum Creatinine (SCr), or serum Cystatin C (SCysC), age, bo

Objective: Kidney disease is a worldwide health concern with an increasing number of patients and increasing mortality in the past 10 years. The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guideline advocates the use of estimated glomerular filtration rate equation (eGFR) to estimate renal function. We evaluated the performance of Cockroft Gau

Aim: To study the labial salivary gland biopsy fi ndings and to assess the clinical condition of the patients with secondary Sjogren’s syndrome patients. Material and methods: Fifty-six patients were involved in this study,full history was taken and complete clinical examination was done for the period of 15 months duration. Schirmer’s tear tes

Speech perception ability in noise is a realistic key indicator of a person’s potential to communicate in real-world situations. The Malay Matrix Sentence Test (MMST) is able to provide information about a listener’s speech perception ability in noise. It can also be implemented in either open or closed-set test format. The main purpose of this
