Regenerative therapy in oral tissues has gained relevance since tissue loss due to congenital or acquired diseases as well as trauma is a major health problem worldwide.Regeneration depends on the natural capacity of the body and the use of biomaterials and bioactive molecules that can module the processes to replace lost or damaged tissues and res

ObjectiveMore than half of post-stroke patients develop dysphagia, which manifests as delayed swallowing and is associated with a high risk of aspiration.In this study, we aimed to investigate the immediate effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on swallowing initiation in post-stroke patients using videofluoroscopic swallowing study

The scarcity of high-quality annotated medical imaging datasets is a major problem that collides with machine learning applications in the field of medical imaging analysis and impedes its advancement.Self-supervised learning is a recent training paradigm that enables learning robust representations without the need for human annotation which can I

The improvement of flame-retardant properties of polyamide 6 (PA6) was achieved by using reduced graphene oxide decorated with halloysite nanotubes (HNTs-d-rGO) hybrid composite as the additive in PA6 matrix.The intimate integration of reduced graphene STAYING ALIVE oxide (rGO) and halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) through a three-step chemical functiona

The aim of the present work is to test a novel Reverse Unidirectional Flushing (R-UDF) approach to achieve an enhanced removal rate of iron oxide particles from drinking water pipes.The project utilized a full-scale PVC pipe loop Interfacings laboratory system to successfully isolate direction as a particle mobilization factor.Even after successive
