The neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) activates the metabotropic GABAB receptor to generate slow, prolonged inhibitory signals that regulate the neural circuitry. The GABAB receptor is an obligate heterodimeric G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) comprised of GBR1 and GBR2 subunits, each with extracellular, seven-helix transmembrane…[Read more]

ed because of the key role that these doctors play in managing diabetes.Periodontally affected teeth with periapical lesion indicated for periapical surgery have a poor prognosis. Using ErYAG lasers to perform simultaneous surgery on both defects may increase their survival rate. Preparing a retrograde cavity on affected teeth and obturating it is…[Read more]

pulation at large is not as concerned about the public health implications of SARS-CoV-2 infection.Implant-retained custom-milled framework enhances the stability of palatal obturator prostheses. Therefore, to evaluate the mechanical response of implant-retained obturator prostheses with bar-clip attachment and milled bars, in three different…[Read more]

Frostbite is caused due to extreme vulnerability to cold, resulting in damage of deeper and superficial tissues alike. In this study, we report the anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties of aqueous methanolic extract of Cuscuta reflexa (Cs.Cr) against contact frostbite. Thirty rats were divided into five groups including three treatment…[Read more]

High-level occupational vinyl chloride (VC) exposures have been associated with hepatic hemangiosarcoma, which typically develops following a long latency period. Although VC is genotoxic, a more comprehensive mode of action has not been determined and diagnostic biomarkers have not been established. The purpose of this study is to address these…[Read more]
