The inactivation of nitric oxide caused by oxidative stress raises the possibility of HT by promoting disruption of endothelial cells. Discussing the development of type-II diabetes mellitus with concurrent hypertension impacted by oxidative stress was the primary goal of this study. The 384 participants were split into four distinct groups based on their illness status: 108 controls (those without T2DM or HT), 48 prediabetes (those without HT), 22 T2DM, and 68 T2DM+ HT (those with coexisting T2DM and HT). We used GSH/GSSG and 8-OHdG as oxidative stress indicators. Because they demonstrate the

To evaluate the efficacy of bisphosphonates loaded onto gelatin sponges compared to gelatin sponges alone in reducing pain following surgical extraction of mandibular third molars. A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 40 surgical sites in the mandibular third molar region of 20 patients undergoing surgical extractions. The sample was randomly divided into two equal groups based on the material applied in the socket post-extraction; the Control group the gelatin sponge applied after surgical extraction, and the Experimental group: the Bisphosphonates loaded onto the gelatin sponge app

This study uses a CT simulation with a large bore to find out that as the field-of-view (FOV) increases, the difference in CT HU for any material increases from Isocenter to Out-of-center to the 200 mm, 300 mm, and 400 mm areas. In addition, we would like to find out that the difference in CT HU is different between low density and high density using CT simulation with a wider field-of-view (FOV) rather than diagnostic CT equipment. Four substances are used as phantoms: water (DI water), fat content (30%), Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA), and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). In addition,

Hypertension is very common in end stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis and accelerates cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The most important factor in achieving normal blood pressure in these patients is reaching dry weight. Sodium and extracellular fluid balance play a vital role in this regard. One hundred patients on regular hemodialysis three times weekly for more than 3 months duration were recruited in this randomized clinical study. The study was conducted for 12 hemodialysis sessions over 4 weeks duration at Helwan university hospitals. Patients were divided randomly into

The application of PCC in hospital accreditation standards is expected to have a significant positive impact on patient satisfaction. The measurement of patient satisfaction in hospitals, particularly among disabled patients as a special needs population in the outpatient rehabilitation unit at RSPPN Soedirman Hospital, is conducted routinely. This study is conducted to determine the difference in satisfaction levels before and after accreditation, to identify the most important factors contributing to patient satisfaction, and to explore healthcare providers' experiences in implementing Patie
