The sella turcica is a saddle-like structure in the middle cranial fossa on the intracranial surface of the sphenoid bone, visible on lateral cephalograms routinely conducted for orthodontic diagnosis. The development of facial structures follows similar traits to the sella turcica: glandular anomalies may be associate…

BACKGROUND: This review evaluates, as a primary outcome, which surgical technique (open vs. closed) and which type of material used for the auxiliaries (elastic vs. metallic) were preferable in terms of periodontal results during the treatment of palatal-impacted canines. The timing of the evaluation of the results was…

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) often persists despite repeated organ-directed evaluation and treatment. We proposed that integrating disease-specific diagnosis with pain-mechanism phenotyping would provide a more clinically useful framework for explaining symptom persistence and selecting care.…

BACKGROUND: Medicinal plants present activities against neurodegenerative diseases with potential for the pharmaceutical industries. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the current panorama of patents and articles of Brazilian medicinal plants with pharmacological activities in the Central Nervous…

INTRODUCTION: Nonsurgical and surgical management of periimplant mucositis and periimplantitis have shown promising results in arresting periimplant marginal bone loss (MBL) and preventing implant loss. However, management of periimplant diseases still remains unpredictable for full reconstruction of lost tissues and c…

BACKGROUND: The World Wide Web has become a dissemination platform for scientific and non-scientific publications. However, most of the information remains locked up in discrete documents that are not always interconnected or machine-readable. The connectivity tissue provided by RDF technology has not yet been widely u…

BACKGROUND: To combat the coronavirus pandemic different vaccines have been developed. However, diverse adverse effects have been reported due to their use, including oral manifestations.

The availability of research data sets is an important milestone because it can enhance the dynamics of research. This study aims to analyze the PubMed Central repository to determine the availability and type of raw data sets in Cell & Tissue Engineering journals indexed in Journal Citation Reports. The number and typ…

Controversies exist in literature regarding nature, pathogenesis, and behaviour of giant cell lesions (GCLs) of jaws. Studies were attempted to solve these mysteries with immunohistochemical analysis, using various biological markers. Thus, the aim of this review is to appraise the role of immunohistochemistry (IHC) in…

Biomedical publishing stands at a crossroads. The traditional print, peer-reviewed, subscription journal has served science well but is now being called into question. Because of spiraling print journal costs and the worldwide acceptance of the Internet as a valid publication medium, there is a compelling opportunity t…

The Nuclear Protein Database (NPD) is a curated database that contains information on more than 1300 vertebrate proteins that are thought, or are known, to localise to the cell nucleus. Each entry is annotated with information on predicted protein size and isoelectric point, as well as any repeats, motifs or domains wi…

INTRODUCTION: The primary goal in treating acute pain is to provide effective analgesia while minimizing the risk of progression to chronic pain. Opioids have long been the mainstay for treating moderate to severe pain. However, their use is increasingly questioned due to challenges such as addiction, tolerance, and ad…

Methyldopa, a centrally acting α2-adrenergic agonist, remains a key antihypertensive drug, particularly prescribed for pregnant and renal-impaired patients. Its clinical significance has led to extensive research aimed at developing reliable analytical methods for its accurate, sensitive, and selective determinat…

OBJECTIVE: to identify and synthesize the evidence from randomized clinical trials that tested the effectiveness of traditional Chinese acupuncture in relation to sham acupuncture for the treatment of hot flashes in menopausal women with breast cancer.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is an aggressive primary liver malignancy with rising global incidence; most patients present with unresectable disease, and intrahepatic recurrence is common after curative-intent surgery. Locoregional therapies (LRTs), including future liver remnant (FL…

BACKGROUND: The efficacy of induction treatment plus surgery for improving postoperative survival in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in stages IIIA-N2 is controversial, especially compared with the combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy. We therefore performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of t…

OBJECTIVE: To review available medical therapies for patients with Cushing disease and to provide a roadmap for their use in clinical practice. METHODS: PubMed searches were performed to identify all of the available published data on medical management of Cushing disease. RESULTS: Medical therapy is usually not the…

INTRODUCTION: The recognition of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) as a distinct diagnosis in ICD-11 has intensified the need to clarify its boundaries with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), given their symptom overlap and shared traumatic origins. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to examine wh…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: For locally advanced cervical cancer, the typical radiation treatment is a combination of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and brachytherapy. However, variation exists in brachytherapy technique selection and implementation, stemming from differences in imaging access, operator experienc…
