    Abstract Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a metabolic dysfunction of the liver defined as an abnormal accumulation of fat within the liver without secondary triggers like alcohol consumption or viral hepatitis. Piperine, the bio-active ingredient of black pepper, can exert a significant function in treatment of individuals with NAFLDand early cirrhosis. We investigated the impact of piperine consumption with a duration of 12 weeks on patients with NAFLD and early cirrhosis compared toplacebo consumption. In a double-blind study, patients with NAFLD and early stage of cirrhosis were haphazardly distributed into case and control groups. They were prescribed a placebo and 5 mg of piperine for 12 weeks, respectively. The demographic and laboratory parameters of individuals were assessed as the baseline and after the duration of piperine intake. Piperine with a daily dosage of 5 mg could significantly decrease hepatic enzymes and glucose, and alleviate dyslipidemia in the case arm rather than the control arm. Moreover, HOMA levels and insulin resistance were reduced in case participants compared to the control counterparts. In the absence of approved medicinal intervention for patients with NAFLD, and regarding the favorable impact of piperine on NAFLD more studies on this subject are warranted.

    Abstract Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the flexural strength of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), calcium-enriched mixture
    Methods and materials: In this study, the flexural strength of materials was measured using a 3-point bend test. After being prepared, MTA, CEM, and BA were inserted into the intra-putty molds using amalgam plugger. The specimens were covered with a sponge wetted with synthetic tissue fluid (STF) and incubated for 96 h. They were then subjected to a 3-point bend test using Universal Testing Machine. The Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare flexural strength in groups. In this study,
    Results: There were significant differences between the three groups in terms of the flexural strength (

    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to compare the developmental characteristics of bony nasopharyngeal (NP) in children with cleft palate (CP) and non-cleft subjects.
    Methods: This study was conducted on 64 non-syndromic CP patients who underwent repair surgery and 23 non-cleft subjects as controls. Lateral cephalograms were performed on participants at rest in the natural head position. The X-coordinate and the Y-coordinate of three points on cephalograms were determined as Hormion (Ho), posterior maxillary point (PMP) and anterior point of the atlas (At) representing the anterior-posterior (AP) and vertical dimension of the NP. The linear dimension of the NP (i.e. Ho-At, Ho-PMP, At-PMP) and its area was also calculated.
    Results: The bony structures of NP in the clef-affected subjects in isolated CP subgroup, had a significantly greater downward development in the maxillary region (PMP) (both with p = 0.001), more linear growth in cranial-maxillary (Ho-PMP) dimension (p = 0.017 and 0.004, respectively), and larger area (p = 0.017 and <0.001, respectively), when compared to normal subjects. There was no significant difference between either the unilateral cleft lip and palate (CLP) or bilateral CLP group with the control group regarding AP, vertical, and linear growth of the NP and its area (P > 0.05).
    Conclusions: Patients with repaired CP had downward deviated posterior maxilla, more linear growth in cranial-maxillary dimension and larger area compared to normal subjects. Among CP subtypes, a balanced growth was observed among repaired UCLP and BCLP patients, suggesting that with appropriate repaired surgery, normal development of the NP region could be expected in these subtypes.

    Abstract Cerebrovascular disease is the leading cause of long-term disability in the world and the third-leading cause of death in the United States. The early diagnosis of transient ischemic attack (TIA) is of great importance for reducing the mortality and morbidity of cerebrovascular diseases. Patients with TIA have a high risk of early subsequent ischemic stroke and the development of permanent nervous system lesions. The diagnosis of TIA remains a clinical diagnosis that highly relies on the patient's medical history assessment. There is a growing list of biomarkers associated with different components of the ischemic cascade in the brain. In this review, we take a closer look at the biomarkers of TIA and their validity with a focus on the more clinically important ones using recent evidence of their reliability for practical usage.
