    Abstract Objectives: An essential aspect of network traffic classification is application identification. This involves capturing and analyzing the traffic patterns of applications. There are a few publicly available datasets that specifically capture streaming data from network-based applications. Therefore, our objective is to generate an up-to-date dataset with a focus on audio streaming data. This dataset can be a valuable resource for identifying audio streaming applications in the field of network traffic classification.
    Data description: The dataset contains network traffic captured during audio streaming communications on five trending applications: Google Meet, Skype, Telegram, WhatsApp, and SoundCloud. It includes 500 files in PCAP format captured by Wireshark and PCAPdroid tools during voice calls and online music playback. The concurrent utilization of these tools facilitates the avoidance of capturing background traffic.

    Abstract Seismocardiogram (SCG) signals are noninvasively obtained cardiomechanical signals containing important features for cardiovascular health monitoring. However, these signals are prone to contamination by motion noise, which can significantly impact accuracy and robustness of the measurements. A deep learning model based on the U-Net architecture is proposed to recover SCG signals contaminated by motion noise induced by walking. The model performance was evaluated through qualitative visualization, as well as quantitative analyses. Quantitative analyses included distance-based comparisons before and after applying our model. Analyses also included assessments of the model's efficacy in improving the performance of downstream tasks related to health parameter estimation during walking. Experimental findings revealed that the denoising model improved similarity to clean signals by approximately 90%. The performance of the model in enhancing heart rate estimation demonstrated a mean absolute error of 1.21 BPM and a root-mean-squared error (RMSE) of 1.97 BPM during walking after denoising with 9.16 BPM and 10.38 BPM improvements, respectively, compared to without denoising. Furthermore, the RMSEs of aortic opening and aortic closing time estimation after denoising for one dataset with catheter ground truth were 7.29 ms and 19.71 ms during walking, respectively, with 50.33 ms and 51.91 ms RMSE improvements compared to without denoising. And for another dataset with ICG-derived PEP ground truth, the RMSE of aortic opening time estimation after denoising was 10.21 ms during walking, with 38.74 ms RMSE improvement compared to without denoising. The proposed model attenuates motion noise from corrupted SCG signals while preserving cardiac information. This development paves the way for improved ambulatory cardiac health monitoring using wearable accelerometers during daily activities.

    Abstract The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM), a major chronic disease and a leading cause of death and disability around the world, is rising. According to the latest data, the global prevalence of DM has increased to 463 million (9.3% of adults) in 2019 and is estimated to reach 700 million by 2045. Periodontal disease, result of periodontium inflammation, is a common, chronic disease and has long been considered one of the complications of DM. Moreover, literature reflects a spectrum of conflicting viewpoints on the effect of diabetic conditions on the implant treatment strategies. The current review aims to update the recent epidemiologic evidence regarding the relationship between DM and periodontal/peri-implant disease, emphasising the effects of glycaemic control on the severity of these diseases and describing the pathobiological mechanisms underlying this association. This review's findings indicate a bidirectional relationship between DM and periodontal/peri-implant disease and that this relationship seems causal, implying that controlling these two diseases might help prevent each other's incidence. Additionally, the severity of periodontal/peri-implant disease is directly related to metabolic control. Although patients with diabetes can obtain implant success similar to those in systemically healthy individuals, an increased risk of peri-implantitis has been reported in DM patients. Therefore, the importance of glycaemic control and maintaining proper oral hygiene cannot be overstated.

    Abstract Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are being investigated as a treatment for a novel viral disease owing to their immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, tissue repair and regeneration characteristics, however, the exact processes are unknown. MSC therapy was found to be effective in lowering immune system overactivation and increasing endogenous healing after SARS-CoV-2 infection by improving the pulmonary microenvironment. Many studies on mesenchymal stem cells have been undertaken concurrently, and we may help speed up the effectiveness of these studies by collecting and statistically analyzing data from them. Based on clinical trial information found on clinicaltrials. gov and on 16 November 2020, which includes 63 clinical trials in the field of patient treatment with COVID-19 using MSCs, according to the trend of increasing studies in this field, and with the help of meta-analysis studies, it is possible to hope that the promise of MSCs will one day be realized. The potential therapeutic applications of MSCs for COVID-19 are investigated in this study.

    Abstract Statement of the problem: The parental acceptance rate of the behavior management methods used in pediatric dentistry is influenced by various factors.
    Purpose: This study was aimed to investigate the relationship between mothers' anger expression and their acceptance of behavior management methods.
    Materials and method: In this cross-sectional study, 110 mothers of children who had less than 12 years of age were recruited. They completed Spielberg's state-trait anger expression inventory (STAXI). The respondents watched an educational video that included explanations of seven behavior management methods. Then, they reported their acceptance of each of these methods using the visual analog scale (VAS).
    Results: The acceptance rates of behavior management methods from the highest to lowest included tell-show-do, pre-appointment behavior shaping, mouthpiece, voice control, general anesthesia, active restraint, and passive restraint, respectively. There was only a significant inverse relationship between the acceptance of the tell-show-do method and the anger expression (
    Conclusion: There was a significant inverse relationship between acceptance of the tell-show-do behavioral management method and mothers' anger expression. However, there is no significant relationship between other methods and mothers' anger expression. According to this study, there was a relation between mothers' ages and their acceptance of using a mouthpiece.

    Abstract Introduction: Among the new therapeutic materials, MTA and Biodentine are recommended for pulpotomy and sealing the pulp. Considering the similar characteristics of these two materials and considering that their effects on the treatment of primary second molars with irreversible pulpitis have not been compared properly, this study aimed to compare clinical and radiographic success between MTA and Biodentine in pulpotomy of primary mandibular second molars with irreversible pulpitis.
    Materials and methods: This study was conducted as a randomized double-blind clinical trial. Participants were selected according to inclusion criteria and 52 samples were randomly selected using random numbers table in group A. Then, patients in the next group B were matched with the first group in terms of age range and sex. In group A, the remaining pulp was covered with 2 mm MTA+ and in group B with 3 mm Biodentine. Participants were called for clinical evaluation every three months for 12 months (long-term follow-up). Radiographic evaluations were in the sixth and twelfth months.
    Results: Fischer's exact test showed that there was no significant difference between MTA and Biodentine in terms of clinical and radiographic success rates (
    Conclusions: The results of this study showed that Biodentine properties are similar to MTA, and both materials show high clinical and radiographic success rates in long-term follow-up.

    Abstract Wearable systems can provide accurate cardiovascular evaluations by estimating hemodynamic indices in real-time. Key hemodynamic parameters can be non-invasively estimated using the seismocardiogram (SCG), a cardiomechanical signal whose features link to cardiac events like aortic valve opening (AO) and closing (AC). However, tracking a single SCG feature is unreliable due to physiological changes, motion artifacts, and external vibrations. This work proposes an adaptable Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to track multiple AO/AC correlated features in quasi-real-time from the SCG. The GMM calculates the likelihood of an extremum being an AO/AC feature for each SCG beat. The Dijkstra algorithm selects heartbeat-related extrema, and a Kalman filter updates the GMM parameters while filtering features. Tracking accuracy is tested on a porcine hypovolemia dataset with varying noise levels. Blood volume loss estimation accuracy is also evaluated using the tracked features on a previously developed model. Experimental results show a 4.5 ms tracking latency and average root mean square errors (RMSE) of 1.47 ms for AO and 7.67 ms for AC at 10 dB noise, and 6.18 ms for AO and 15.3 ms for AC at -10 dB noise. When considering all AO/AC correlated features, the combined RMSE remains in similar ranges, specifically 2.70 ms for AO and 11.91 ms for AC at 10 dB noise, and 7.50 ms for AO and 16.35 ms for AC at -10 dB noise. The proposed algorithm offers low latency and RMSE for all tracked features, making it suitable for real-time processing. These systems enable accurate, timely extraction of hemodynamic indices for many cardiovascular monitoring applications, including trauma care in field settings.

    Abstract Introduction: Children's fear of and anxiety about dental treatments are important problems in maintaining health. The anesthetic injection is the main cause of dental fear. One of the methods to reduce the infiltration-induced pain is to use external cold or vibration using the gate control system. Various devices have been used to apply cold and vibration, including the BUZZY device (BUZZY Company, Arizona). Studies have shown contradictory results for the effectiveness of cold and vibration. This study aimed to investigate the effect of cold and vibration versus cold alone on maxillary infiltration-induced pain and stress.
    Methods: Thirty children aged 6-12 years who required profound restoration of deciduous or permanent first molars were recruited in this randomized double-blind clinical trial. The anesthetic gel and BUZZY device were used in half of the children's jaws, and the anesthetic gel and the cold alone were used in the other half of the jaws. To measure stress from the heart rate, the Wong-Baker scale was used as the subjective scale, and the face, legs, activity, cry, consolability (FLACC) scale was used as the objective scale.
    Results: The FLACC score was significantly lower in the BUZZY group than in the cold-alone group, but the Wong-Baker scale and heart rate did not show a significant difference between the two groups.
    Conclusions: The BUZZY device can be effective in reducing infiltration-induced dental pain.
