Metal corrosion prevention control with uses of sol-gel coatings
Abstract: The potential for sol-gel generated films to replace methods for pre-treating metal surfaces with chromate is very high. Metallic and organic paint can be painted on with good adherence thanks to inorganic sol-gel generated coatings. Their significant crack-forming propensity prevents them from offering appropriate corrosion protection. A thicker, more flexible, functionalized film is produced with improved compatibility to various organic top coatings when an organic component is added to an …

The Norwegian Appliance—A Review
Abstract: Functional appliances are passive appliance fabricated to alter the neuromuscular environment of the orofacial region to enhance craniofacial skeletal growth and occlusal development. The monobloc, given by Pierre Robin in 1902, is considered the forerunner of the functional appliance, but the appliance fabricated by Andresen in Norway was the first functional appliance to be widely accepted. This appliance was considered the basis of the ‘Norwegian system’ of treatment. The Norwegian …

Drug Resistance in Targeted Cancer Treatment: Clinical Difficulties, Molecular Mechanisms, and Emerging Strategies
Abstract: Targeted cancer therapy, which selectively inhibits the molecular mechanisms responsible for tumor growth and development, has revolutionized modern oncology. Targeted therapies have lower systemic toxicity and better therapeutic efficacy when compared to traditional chemotherapy. However, the emergence of medication resistance often limits the long-term efficacy of these treatments, ultimately resulting in treatment failure and disease progression. Drug resistance develops through a number of intricate biological processes and can be innate …

Perspectives of 3D-Printed Polylactic Acid-Based Composites Reinforced with Natural Fibers
Abstract: The growing demand for sustainable and biodegradable materials has led to the development of polylactic acid (PLA)-based composites reinforced with natural fibers. This study investigates the mechanical, thermal, printability, and environmental performance of 3D-printed PLA/Natural Fiber composites, addressing key challenges in fiber-matrix compatibility, structural integrity, and biodegradability. Natural fiber reinforcement enhanced Young’s modulus and flexural strength, but excessive fiber content led to agglomeration, reduced tensile strength, and increased brittleness. Thermal …

Protective Effects of Phyllanthus amarus and Sida acuta Extracts Against DoxorubicinInduced Toxicity in Chick Embryo Models
Abstract: Chemotherapy remains a cornerstone of cancer treatment, yet severe side effects, including cardiotoxicity often limit its clinical application. Doxorubicin, a widely used anticancer drug, is particularly associated with dose-dependent toxicities that impact the heart, liver, and kidneys. In search of complementary approaches to mitigate these adverse effects, this study evaluates the protective potential of hydro-alcoholic extracts from Phyllanthus amarus and Sida acuta, two medicinal plants with known antioxidant and anti-inflammatory …
