Metabolomic Profiling of Cow Urine of Various Breeds Reveals Bioactive Metabolites of Diverse Industrial Applications.

Cow urine is widely utilized for medicinal and agricultural purposes in rural areas of India, with urine from indigenous cow breeds (Bos indicus) believed to offer unique benefits compared to that of exotic (Bos taurus) breeds. This research aimed to profile the metabolites present in the urine of indigenous breeds of cows using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and to explore the potential applications of the identified compounds by referencing the established literature. The various cow breeds included in the study were Gir, Sahiwal, Gangatiri, Hariana, Kankrej, Rathi, Gaolao, and Jersey.

Prevalence, satisfaction and preference of tooth shades and their correlation with age, gender and skin color : A cross sectional study.

Unlabelled: Shade selection is a crucial factor influencing patient satisfaction with dental prostheses and the overall success of treatment. Conventional visual methods of shade selection are inherently subjective, regardless of the availability of dental records or photographs. This study aims to assess the prevalence, satisfaction, and preference of tooth shades in a cross-section of the local Indian population and to evaluate their correlation with age, gender, and skin color in a diverse sample of 120 participants visiting the outpatient department of this Institution.

An In Vitro Comparison of the Influence of Air Abrasion, G-Multiprimer, and Salivary Contamination on the Shear Bond Strength and Surface Characteristics of Opaque Zirconia Ceramics.

To evaluate the effect of various surface treatments and saliva contamination on the shear bond strength (SBS) and surface characteristics of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia ceramics (YTZP) bonded with self-adhesive resin cement (SAC). Opaque Y-ZTP ceramics were divided into four groups based on specific surface treatment: control (C), air abrasion (AA), G-multiprimer (G), and AA + G (AG). Surface characteristics of the treated specimens, roughness and, elemental analysis were done using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and energy dispersive analysis of X-rays (EDAX), respectively.

Sculpting Solutions: 3D-Printed Models Transform Osteotomy Planning in Monteggia Fractures.

Introduction: A neglected Monteggia fracture refers to a proximal ulna fracture accompanied by a dislocated radial head that remains untreated for a duration exceeding 4 weeks following the initial injury. We present the case of a complex neglected Monteggia fracture and its unique pre-operative approach for radial head osteotomy using 3D-printed models.

Case Report: An 8-year-old girl presented with a delayed diagnosis of a Monteggia fracture, which had become increasingly complex due to late intervention and prior inadequate management.

Evaluation of Viability and Adhesion of Human Gingival Fibroblast and the Adhesion of Oral Microflora on Thermally Aged Zirconia and BioHPP Abutment Surfaces: An In Vitro Study.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of thermal aging of zirconia and BioHPP abutment surfaces on the viability and adhesion of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) and multispecies biofilm formation of () and (). The study utilized circular disks of zirconia oxide (ZrO) and BioHPP measuring 8 × 2 mm. The surface roughness was evaluated for both nonaged and aged specimens.
