The article examines the role of medical education, regulatory requirements and effective practices in ensuring the quality of healthcare services in medical practice and dentistry. The authors indicate that these factors directly affect the quality of medical care in any country of the world. By studying the structure of the issue, the researchers identify to what extent this or that indicator has an impact on increasing patient satisfaction with the medical services provided, on increasing awareness of medical workers of the work they perform on the medical care of the population. An important role, according to the authors, is played by the results of the assimilation of educational programs by future doctors, as well as the effectiveness of their activities in internship and residency. Special emphasis is placed on the need to develop communication and ethical skills in future therapists and dentists. Regulations and standards in the field of medicine, as noted in the work, also play an important role in the organization of high-quality patient care in medical organizations of different levels. Also, various innovations in the field of digitalization of the process of providing medical services play a leading role in the field of medical care, especially in the field of therapy and dentistry. It is for this reason that the study of best practices, as well as the experience of Russian and foreign colleagues, makes it possible to expand the scope of their activities by applying innovative tools and approaches in the field of patient treatment. In general, the prospects of these areas of improving the quality of patient care in the field of dentistry and therapy will not only achieve this goal, but also increase the pace of development of these medical fields, which will favorably affect, in general, the development of domestic medicine.

The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the impacts of earth magnetic field (ErMF) on animal nervous system evolution especially electric and histological properties of nerves. We have applied for the first time, as far as we know, a correlation betwen the influence of ErMF and temperature on supraconductor-like behavior in the siatic nerves of four species. Our question point to answer to the a possible link between magnetic change and climate change and to explain in part the possible implication of both parameters in animal nervous system adaptation and evolution. Our results seem to support the existence of a link between ErMF variation and superconductor-like behavior in nerves. The found link does not mean that the ErMF is fully responsible of the histological, electric properties of nerves and climate changes. The data reveal a decrease in nerve resistivity in chameleon and frog, chick and rabbit; showing a superconductor-like behaviour. Analysis of electrical properties demonstrated a clear grade shift at critical temperature (Tc) from poikilotherm (average of ΔT = 11.50) to homeotherm (average of ΔT = 38.00); indicating adaptive nerves changes during evolution confirmed by the increase of Schwann cells number.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of two hydrogen peroxide concentrations, commonly used in In-Office bleaching, on the surface roughness and color change of different esthetic restorative materials. Materials and Methods: Sixty disc samples (10 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness) of the different restorative materials used were constructed following the manufacturers’ instructions. Samples were classified into three main groups (n=20) according to the type of restorative material: Group1: Microhybrid composite Filtek P90 Silorane, Group 2: IPS emax Press and Group 3: Vitadur Alpha porcelain. Each of the three groups was divided into two subgroups (n=10) (a and b) according to the type of bleaching agent used (Opalesence Xtra Boost 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP) and Zoom 2 25% HP respectively). Samples of subgroups were further divided into two equal divisions (n=5) according to the type of test performed (Roughness testing and Color assessment). Each sample was assessed for surface roughness and color change before bleaching so that each sample served as its own control. Surface roughness was examined using Environmental scanning electronic microscope (ESEM). Color measurements were made with spectrophotometer using CIELAB color scale. One sample from each subgroup was examined to confirm their crystalline phase before and after bleaching using X-Ray Diffraction. Results were statistically analyzed. Results: Significant differences in Ra values were observed between the unbleached and bleached samples, as well as between subgroups treated with Opalesence Xtra Boost and those treated with Zoom 2. The two bleaching agents had statistically significant effect on the color of restorative materials (P<0.05). Moreover, the color change was found to be significantly higher for the restorative materials treated with Opalesence Xtra Boost compared to Zoom 2, regarding their mean ΔE values. Conclusion: Highly concentrated in-office bleaching systems adversely affected the surface roughness and color of Filtek P90 Silorane, IPS e-max Press and Vitadur Alpha porcelain.
目的:评价两种过氧化氢浓度对不同美容修复材料表面粗糙度和颜色变化的影响。材料和方法:根据制造商的说明,制作60个不同修复材料的圆盘样品(直径10 mm,厚度2 mm)。根据修复材料的类型,将样品分为三组(n=20):第一组:微杂化复合材料Filtek P90 Silorane,第二组:IPS emax Press,第三组:Vitadur Alpha瓷。根据使用的漂白剂类型(分别为Opalesence extra Boost 35%过氧化氢(HP)和Zoom 2 25% HP),将三组中的每一组分为两个亚组(n=10) (a和b)。亚组样本根据测试类型(粗糙度测试和颜色评估)进一步分为两等分(n=5)。每个样品在漂白前都要评估表面粗糙度和颜色变化,这样每个样品都可以作为自己的对照。采用环境扫描电镜(ESEM)检测表面粗糙度。用CIELAB色标分光光度计测色。每个亚组的一个样品在漂白前后用x射线衍射检查以确认其结晶相。结果进行统计学分析。结果:在未漂白和漂白的样品之间,以及用Opalesence extra Boost处理的亚组和用Zoom 2处理的亚组之间,Ra值有显著差异。两种漂白剂对修复材料颜色的影响有统计学意义(P<0.05)。此外,与Zoom 2相比,使用Opalesence extra Boost处理的修复材料的颜色变化明显更高,其平均值为ΔE值。结论:高浓度的办公室漂白系统对Filtek P90 Silorane、IPS e-max Press和Vitadur Alpha瓷的表面粗糙度和颜色有不利影响。

Wound healing is a complicated process in which the skin or the afflicted organ heals itself after an injury. In numerous animal models, scientific validation for the use of most of these botanical parts and species in the management and treatment of prenatal and postnatal complications has been reported. As a result of its bioactivity, biocompatibility, osteoconductivity, structural and chemical similarity to bone and teeth, host tissue bonding ability, and absence of inflammatory characteristic, it has the capacity to regenerate tissue. Our study aimed to identify the wound healing property of Tridax procumbens in Clinical models. In this study we have identified the various phytochemical activities such as cytotoxic effect, anti inflammatory, anti microbial, free radical scavenging and wound healing activity of tridax procumbens. It was found that Tridax procumbens accelerated the healing process by enhancing the epithelial regeneration of wounds. The potent activity of the herbal formulation can be attributed to the phyto-constituents present in the formulation enhance the wound healing effect. Additional research is necessary to understand both the target-based mechanism of action and other pharmacological effects

The article investigates the causes and ways to reduce injuries in age-related patients with multimorbidity. The author points out that Multimorbid people are at significant risk of falls. These results require prioritization of falls as a public health problem with the need to integrate falls into existing geriatric healthcare programs. The combination of multimorbidity and proximal fracture leads to an increase in mortality, which strongly indicates the need for more comprehensive approaches to high-risk patients. Accordingly, there is a need for future research on the care of high-risk patients after a fracture and the study of the relationship between multimorbid clusters and other signaling events in the field of healthcare.

Background-Raised total cholesterol, high LDL-C, low HDL-C, and elevated triglycerides are all symptoms of dyslipidemia. It is included in metabolic disorders. It is a major component in causation of atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular disease. There is a 1-2 percent rise in the incidence of Coronary Heart Disease for every 1% increase in cholesterol level. As per Ayurveda, it can be considered as a Medadhatu Dushti that is “Medoroga”. Acharya Charaka described drugs having deepana, pachana, medohar, lekhana and strotoshodhaka properties for management of Medoroga. Kutaki (Picrorhiza kurroa Royle ex. Benth) can be used in such conditions due to its lekhana and medohar properties.Various animal research studies conducted on Kutaki proved its antihyperlipidemic and hepatoprotective property. Hence in this case series three patients of dyslipidemia were treated with single dravya Kutaki in tablet form. Case Report-All the three female patients, aged between 40 to 50 years, were treated with Kutaki tablet (500mg) two times a day in the morning and evening (8am-8pm) empty stomach with water for 60 days. After completion of treatment, assessment was done by comparing Serum lipid profile value as with baseline after completion of treatment. Observations and Result -All the three patients showed improvement in lipid values. There was no change in weight or BMI was noted. Conclusion-Hence, it can be concluded that Kutaki is safe and effective in dyslipidemia for normalization of lipid in the blood due to its lekhana, Kapha Medohara (alleviation of vitiated Kapha and Meda) properties.

Introduction: Rose (rosa canina) is one of the flowers that are much in demand by the community because besides being an ornamental flower it can also be used as a cosmetic base material. Metallic silver (Ag) is a resilient transition element that has been utilised for a long time in jewellery, coinage, and silverware due to its scarcity (ranking 67th in abundance among the elements) and alluring white metallic brilliance. Aim: To study the anticariogenic activity of Rose Jasmine formulation mediated silver nanoparticles. Materials and methods: Muller hinton agar were utilised to identify the zone of inhibition at different concentrations of the prepared extract mediated with silver nanoparticles. Results: It showed that the prepared extract had an average of zone of inhibition at 100ul of the prepared extract. Conclusion: The prepared extract mediated silver nanoparticles had good anticariogenic activity at 100ul concentration.
