Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Class II malocclusion is the most common issue encountered in orthodontic practice. Myofunctional appliances are the most effective treatment option for skeletal class II malocclusion in growing age. Twin block is the most commonly used removable functional appliance, although its success is dependent upon patient compliance. The aim of this article is to present an effective modification of the conventional twin block appliance that can be used as an alternative to the fixed functional appliance in noncompliant skeletal class II patients with mandibular retrusion.

Background: In percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the ability to predict post-PCI fractional flow reserve (FFR) and stented vessel informs procedural planning. However, highly precise and effective methods to quantitatively simulate coronary intervention are lacking. This study developed and validated a virtual coronary intervention (VCI) technique for non-invasive physiological and anatomical assessment of PCI.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical effect of a new fixed Twin-block on adolescent patients with skeletal ClassⅡ malocclusion.
Methods: Twenty-one patients aged 10-13 years with skeletal ClassⅡ malocclusion with mandibular retrusion were chosen for functional treatment using a new fixed Twin-block. Before and after treatment, panoramic and cephalometric films were taken, and the observation indexes were measured and recorded.
Effect of newer all-in-one irrigants on root dentin wettability and surface roughness - An study.

Background: All-in-one irrigants introduced recently claim to impart added benefits for endodontic disinfection; however, their effects on root dentin need to be evaluated.
Aims: The aim of the study was to evaluate the dentinal wettability and surface roughness of Triton and Twin Kleen irrigating solutions on root dentin.
Materials And Methods: Eighty dentin blocks (6 mm × 6 mm) were prepared using middle root portion obtained by horizontal sectioning of forty single-rooted extracted human mandibular premolar teeth which were further mounted in acrylic blocks (4 cm × 4 cm) and were randomly allotted into four groups (n = 20) and subjected to 10 ml of experimental irrigating solutions for 5 min as follows, group 1: normal saline (Control), group 2: 5.

Recent biological research has highlighted the relevance of myeloid-cell populations in glioma growth, with a particular role played by tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), which comprise resident microglia and monocyte-derived macrophages. Additionally, radiation therapy, the most common treatment for gliomas, significantly alters the tumor microenvironment, affecting TAMs and contributing to tumor recurrence. Promising preclinical studies have identified and developed drugs targeting TAMs.

Background: The ageing population has led to more cancer cases among older adults, who face higher risks of treatment-related adverse events, functional decline, and unplanned healthcare use. Traditional assessments like Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group and Karnofsky Performance Status lack sensitivity for this group, highlighting the need for new methods to monitor symptoms and functional changes in cancer care. This review examines remote monitoring technologies for older adults with cancer, focusing on their potential and challenges.
