Tennis Elbow (or Lateral Epicondylalgia) is one of the most common overload injuries that it is the most frequent cause of lateral elbow pain, occurring to people between 40-60 years of age. It is characterized by pain on the outside of the elbow, usually near the lateral epicondyle bone where the extensor carpi Brevis tendon attaches, aggravated by gripping or wringing activities During menopause period, declining estrogen levels can negatively impact tendon health. Estrogen plays a protective role in tendons, contributing to their strength and ability to withstand load.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether 3D-printed resin composite endocrowns perform as well as milled resin composite endocrowns in restoring endodontically treated teeth. It will also learn how well the restorations fit over time. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do 3D-printed endocrowns and milled endocrowns show different clinical performance? Do 3D-printed endocrowns and milled endocrowns differ in restoration fit over 18 months? Researchers will compare two fabrication methods: Additive manufacturing: 3D-printed resin composite endocrowns. Subtractive manufacturing: milled resin composite endocrowns. Participants will: Be recruited from the Conservative Dentistry Department, Faculty of Dentistry, October 6 University. Receive tooth preparation after confirmation of satisfactory root canal treatment. Have their teeth prepared using standardized endocrown guidelines by one calibrated operator. Have digital scans taken of the prepared tooth, opposing arch, and bite registration. Have restorations designed digitally and then assigned randomly to one of the two groups. Receive a temporary restoration until the final endocrown is ready. Have the final restoration tried in for fit, contacts, and occlusion before cementation. Have a baseline post-cementation scan taken for fit assessment. Return for follow-up visits at baseline, 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months. Be evaluated at each visit using Modified FDI criteria and 3D digital superimposition for fit analysis.

This comparison is expected to provide valuable clinical evidence to support clinicians in making informed decisions when considering the adoption of digital alternatives to conventional methods.

Cigarette smoking is the most common form of tobacco use worldwide, but other tobacco products, such as e-cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos, roll-your-own, pipes, and various smokeless tobacco products are also damaging. Most harmful chemicals in cigarette smoke target metals or carbonyls generated by the thermal decomposition of carrier liquids such as propylene glycol, which is one of the main ingredients in the liquid used in electronic cigarettes, where it serves as both the carrier for nicotine and cannabinoids and the means of producing vapor which resemble smoke. This new tobacco product was made of milder sorts of tobacco, the smoke could be inhaled, and it was more damaging.

The Purpose of the Study This study will be conducted to determine the effect of virtual reality on pulmonary function and anxiety levels in moderate to severe asthmatic patients.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder that affects approximately 10-20% of women of reproductive age, Management strategies for PCOS include lifestyle modifications such as diet and physical activity that are the first-line approach to treatment; however, they are reported to be minimally effective in reducing weight or treating PCOS-related symptoms.Pharmacological options are also available; however, they are not explicitly approved for PCOS treatment as they have been primarily used to treat other conditions such as T2DM

Bell's palsy, a peripheral facial nerve paresis, is the most common disorder of the facial nerve and one of the most common mononeuropathies. Many patients with Bell's palsy will develop some complications such as synkinesis, crocodile tears and 'sweating' of the ear while eating Commonly used medications to treat Bell's palsy is Corticosteroids Cerebrolysin stimulates the regeneration of the nervous tissue with protective action we aim to study the efficacy of cerebrolycin in Bell's palsy

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory autoimmune polyarthritis affecting ∼1% of the world population, resulting in the loss of joint function and progressive structural damage in affected joints. Fexofenadine has been widely used to treat various allergic diseases, like allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria. the molecular mechanisms underlying fexofenadine mediated inhibition of TNF-α signalling

Cesarean section is one of the most common abdominal operations performed on women. The cesarean section rate is rising rapidly and continuously in many parts of the world. The cesarean-section surgery leaves a scar that requires special care. A horizontal skin incision approximately 10-15 cm long is usually performed during the procedure. Apart from the skin, the following: subcutaneous tissue, fascia, peritoneum, and uterine muscle are cut leaving traces in the form of scars and accompanying ailments, on the one hand, such as pain, tenderness, and hypersensitivity to stimuli, and on the other, limitations, such as contractures or impairment of tissue mobility

Breastfeeding is very essential for the growth and development of an infant. World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding of the baby for the first six months. Duration of breastfeeding ranges from 15-20 minutes and is done after every 2-3 hours. The frequency of breastfeeding is approximately 8-12 times a day. So collectively 5-6 hours in an entire day are spent while feeding the baby. Breastfeeding mothers encounter various musculoskeletal problems. These problems arise due to the inappropriate positions acquired during breastfeeding the baby. Since these positions are maintained for longer durations, they can lead to long-term postural deformities by altering the normal curvature of spine. Moreover hormonal changes of pregnancy may last from 12 weeks postpartum to 6 months postpartum. All these changes will have a long-lasting effect while performing activities of daily living, hampering baby care and self-care (Dandekar et al., 2022). In addition to breast soreness, engorgement, maternal illness, blocked ducts, and mastitis, breastfeeding-related neck pain has a high prevalence among nursing women. It is commonly associated with the adoption of awkward postures during feeding sessions. One of the most common awkward positions adopted by nursing mothers is unsupported head/neck posture, resulting in sustained neck flexion to monitor the infant during feeding. Such a sustained awkward position with excessive repetition usually puts stress on the neck and back muscles

A phonophoresis-based drug delivery system is a synchronous approach to improve local drug penetration in neuromuscular diseases associated with neuronal damage, excruciating pain, and local inflammation. Chitosan, a semi-synthetic material, is obtained by partial deacetylation of chitin amines, resulting in copolymers of N-acetylglucosamine and N-glucosamine. Its use has been explored in various biomaterial and medical applications. Chitosan has emerged as a cost-effective, biocompatible, and biodegradable material with many desirable biological properties, improvement of homeostasis and antiviral potential. Chitosan was found to suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines and decreased peripheral nerve edema, the polycationic nature of chitosan allows it to absorb protons, which reduces inflammation and provides an analgesic effect.
