The successful osseointegration around immediate implants requires high quality and quantity of osteogenesis around them. The role of magnesium as a boneenhancing mineral, and as an adjunctive analges...
Immediate implant placement was done after the extraction of the indicated mandibular molar tooth, and all the patients were segregated into 2 groups (Placebo- Lactose, and Magnesium citrate). Bone re...
54 immediate implants placed showed the demographics and baseline serum, clinical, and radiographic parameters were comparable in both groups. Analysis of Implant Stability Quotient at 12th week showe...
The oral magnesium citrate supplementation after immediate implant placement helps in enhancing the stability of the immediate implants, along with improved radiodensity around them which was found to...
Essential minerals are cofactors for synthesis of neurotransmitters supporting cognition and mood. An 8-week fully-blind RCT of multinutrients for ADHD demonstrated three times as many children (age 6...
Stress levels and the prevalence of mental disorders in the general population have been rising in recent years. Chatbot-based interventions represent novel and promising digital approaches to improve...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 3-week chatbot-based intervention guided by the chatbot ELME, specifically with respect to the ability to reduce stress and improve various he...
In this multicenter two-armed randomized controlled trial, 118 individuals with medium to high stress levels were randomized to the intervention group (n=59) or the treatment-as-usual control group (n...
There were no significant changes in perceived stress (β...
To gain insight into how the intervention can be improved to achieve its full potential for stress reduction, besides a longer intervention duration, specific sample subgroups should be considered. Th...

Eyelid surgery is one of the top five aesthetic procedures. It is performed to improve both appearance and function, but intraoperative bleeding leads to adverse events which perturb patients. The obj...
This prospective randomized control trial was performed on the 30 eyelids of 15 patients who underwent upper blepharoplasty. One of each patient's eyes was randomly assigned to the TXA group, and the ...
Intraoperative blood loss was significantly higher in the TXA group [4.86 (1.83) ml] than it was in the control group [2.53 (1.49) ml] (p < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference be...
TXA in lidocaine with epinephrine was found to increase intraoperative bleeding compared to lidocaine with epinephrine alone, but there was no difference in postoperative swelling or ecchymosis. TXA c...
