- The study investigates gene expression changes in response to different oxygen levels, comparing high altitudes to sea level.
- Key genes involved, including VHLEL, VEGF, and HIF-1α, were found to be more active at high altitudes, suggesting a biological adaptation to low oxygen conditions.
- The research contributes to understanding altitude sickness treatment and highlights the need for larger participant studies to enhance knowledge about physiological adaptations to low oxygen environments.
The study aimed to assess the prevalence and cause of endodontic treatment in the first permanent molars of children aged ten in Saudi Arabia. Out of 824 children, 104 had dental caries, with a prevalence rate of 12.62%.
