That happens when a person is sleeping, his or her breathing repeatedly stops and starts. In order to develop therapies and management strategies that will be effective in treating SA, it is critical to precisely diagnose sleep apnea episodes. In this study, the single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), one of the most ..read more

It must ensure three essential functions: very good implant-cement adhesion, good bone-implant load transfer, and good antibiotic transport. The main objective of the present work is to study the fracture behavior of orthopedic cement in total hip replacements. The analysis is performed using the submodel technique. Two cases ..read more

Black tea, derived from the plant Camellia sinensis, contains catechins and has been shown to have a beneficial effect on saliva in preventing tooth decay. Nevertheless, research on the oral health benefits of black tea is still limited ..read more

Hence, this work has attempted to reduce the dependence on petroleum-based epoxy by partially replacing it with epoxidized castor oil (ECO). The ECO was blended with epoxy at 10, 20, and 30% and cured with amine hardener. The effect of bio-resin on ..read more
