In the long term, dental changes may…

A true experimental design with random assignment to groups protects against false causal inferences that could be made when both the treatment and control groups change because of factors such as testing effects, reactivity, contamination, maturation, history, and other measurement effects. The occurrence of these phe…

Congenital nasal pyriform apertures stenosis (CNPAS), a recently recognized uncommon cause of nasal airway obstruction, can be a life-threatening circumstance in the neonate.

For example, the diminished reputation of retrospective studies can be traced to problems with defining the research question and study population. In retrospective studies, one set…

Environmental quality strongly depends on human behavior patterns. Many environmental challenges are rooted in human actions, and thus, it is believed that these problems can be reduced through the promotion of pro-environmental behaviors (PB). Owing to this reality, the current study aims to reduce the environmental f…
