This controlled clinical trial will assess clinically, immunologically, and microbiologically the healing of experimental peri-implant mucositis (PIM) lesions in implants treated previously with implantoplasty (IP) compared to those treated without IP.

Acute lung injury and ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) are characterized by lung inhomogeneity, leading to a different distribution of the tidal volume (and pressure) within the lung. The quasi-static PV curve is a useful bedside tool to set mechanical ventilation, but …

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of physical activity cards integrated with Life Kinetik exercises on attention, short-term memory, cognitive flexibility, and problem-solving skills in middle school students. The study specifically aims to determine whether…

Endotracheal intubation may be needed in critically ill patients in the prehospital setting, where difficult conditions may be encountered. The patient may be lying on the ground, thus complicating direct laryngoscopy as the operator's visual axis cannot be properly aligned with …

Learning deficits are frequent in individuals with Parkinson's Disease. Clear feedback is integral because through feedback individuals know whether they should stick with an action that they have been doing (if the feedback is positive), or change their course of action (if the …

The reasonable combination of macronutrients including carbohydrates, proteins and fat, is the basis of rational diet and beneficial to treatment of metabolic diseases including obesity and diabetes. Endocrine hormones play pivotal roles in regulation of nutrients metabolism and …

This study aimed to evaluate whether the phase of the menstrual cycle affects pain after root canal treatment. A total of 99 patients (72 females and 27 males) who needed root canal treatment in lower molar teeth were included. Female participants were grouped according to their …

Neurodynamic mobilization techniques are widely applied in rehabilitation and physiotherapy to enhance the mobility and function of peripheral nerves. Two main approaches are distinguished. Nerve tensioning and nerve flossing. They both involve proximal and distal joint movements…

The goal of this pilot study is to test the feasibility of assessing how biological factors and chemical properties of sugars may influence metabolism and food reward in humans. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Can differences in appetitive responses and neural activa…

The aim of this retrospective cross-sectional study was to assess physical activity and sedentary behavior levels in first-year university students and to explore their association with obesity and musculoskeletal health risk indicators. Physical activity and sedentary behavior w…

Physical inactivity is widespread among young adults due to different disasters like the COVID-19 and earthquakes. On the other hand, it is unknown how physical activity level affects cough strength and balance in young adults. In current study, it was aimed to investigate both c…

Intermediaries help people to connect to community-based services and supports, including physical activity and exercise groups (physical activities). They do this by acting as a link person. After receiving a referral or self-referral, they conduct an assessment, connect people …

The gut microbiome refers to the trillions of bacteria that inhabit the stomach and other regions involved in the digestion of food, including the intestines. Compelling studies of animals (rodents) suggest that the health of the gut microbiome may influence skeletal muscle funct…

This study investigated whether adding strength training to regular endurance training improves performance and muscle function in competitive cyclists. Endurance training is essential for cycling performance, while strength training has been widely recognised as a complementary …

This is a pilot study of the effects of dermal melanin on dermal uptake and retention of nicotine. The initial hypothesis is that higher levels of dermal melanin will correlate with lower uptake and longer retention of nicotine in the skin and body.

The objective of this study is to investigate the incidence of death and early postoperative complications, identify potential risk factors, and examine the demographic characteristics of patients and epidemiology of cardiovascular procedures. Our hypothesis is that gaining a mor…

Airway management is critical for patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU) 1. Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) is the gold standard over surgical tracheostomy due to its lower complication rates, bedside applicability, and c…

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a minimally invasive procedure used to obtain samples from mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes or lung parenchymal lesions for diagnostic and staging purposes. The success and safety of the procedure, i…

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the impact inhalers have on blood vessels in young healthy individuals. The main question it aims to answer is if long term use of asthma inhalers have any effect on the blood vessels and heart. Participants will be asked to: * Perform …

This study tested three different treatment groups in a fair and organized way. It included people who came to Cairo University's Dental Department to have a back tooth (molar) removed and who qualified to join. Out of 40 people who were checked, 8 did not meet the requirements,…
