Diagnosing these conditions can be a challenge as the presenting symptoms can be diverse and may overlap. This often leads to a delay in referral and diagno

Aims: This study aims to evaluate the physicochemical properties of a new experimental alginic acid-incorporated bioceramic-based sealer (Bio-G) compared to commercialized BioRoot RCS. Materials and Methods: Bio-G sealers with 0%, 3%, and 5% alginic acid concentrations were formulated and tested for flowability, film thickness, radiopacity, working

Titanium carbo-nitride (TiCN) inserts are vital for cutting operations, particularly in high-temperature conditions. Conventional machining methods lead to rapid wear of tools, frequent need for tool changes, high costs associated with tool replacement, and extensive usage of synthetic cutting fl uids that are environmentally damaging. This study a

Substance use disorder (SUD) remains a significant global health issue, with relapse rates exceeding 60% in some compulsory rehabilitation centers despite structured interventions. Recent research suggests that mind–body exercises, like Tai Chi, can lessen cravings and enhance psychological well-being, though their current use is often standardiz
