Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV2) has emerged as a potential contributing factor in prostate cancer (PCa) carcinogenesis, yet the relationship between local HSV2 infection in prostate tissue and cancer aggressiveness remains poorly understood. This study investigated the association between PCR detection of HSV2 DNA in prostate biopsy specimens and prostate cancer characteristics in a Moroccan cohort. A cross sectional study was conducted at Mohammed V Military Teaching Hospital, Rabat, Morocco, including 50 patients with histologically confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma and 50 control subject

To clinically evaluate the technical response and vital relationship between the periodontal tissues and anterior dental crowns made from zirconia designed using CAD\CAM technology. The study sample consisted of 36 upper and lower anterior crowns requiring crown lengthening prior to crowning anterior teeth with zirconia for prosthetic and esthetic purposes. We surgically lengthened the teeth to be crowned, then prepared the teeth to receive all-ceramic crowns. The results demonstrated aesthetic and vital results and fulfilling the mechanical requirements of the final crowns. We conclude that p

Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is a diagnostic technique that combines endoscopy and ultrasonography to examine the digestive tract with high resolution. EUS has become an important tool in diagnosing various gastrointestinal diseases. This study aims to evaluate the use of EUS at Dr. Moewardi Hospital in Surakarta throughout 2024 and its effectiveness in diagnosing and managing digestive tract diseases. This descriptive study involved 31 patients who underwent EUS from January to December 2024, with data analysis using SPSS. The majority of patients had an average age of 58.81 years and wer

More than half research findings that were presented as an abstract in ophthalmic scientific meetings were not published as full-text manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals within 2 years. More than 300 abstracts were presented annually at the Indonesian Ophthalmologists Association (IOA) annual scientific meeting. There are no data regarding publication rates from ophthalmic meetings in Indonesia yet. This study aimed to investigate the publication of scientific research presented at the 44th IOA Annual Scientific Meeting. Abstracts submitted in the IOA annual scientific meeting were identifie

This study aims to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the Ovate Pontic design, a technique that remains under-utilized despite its potential benefits either biologically or esthetically. With the increasing demand for conservative and soft-tissue-compatible prosthetic solutions, exploring alternative pontic designs has become increasingly relevant in contemporary dental practice. This study was conducted on 12 patients with a tooth,s loss in the esthetic zone.,investigating soft tissue response, alveolar bone preservation, and clinical stability of ovate pontics with an up –to six month
