DNA Scaffold Based Nanoscale Antenna

In this poster we present design and implementation of DNA biostructure as a scaffold for nanoscale devices. Custom shapes formed by programmable DNA self assembly can be used to engineer nanoscale devices such as a biological antenna. Detailed protocol to develop nanostructure and protocol to active reasonable conductivity of such biological structures is also presented here

Fabrication and Mathematical Modeling of SWCNT Scaffold DNA Spiral Nantenna

DNA origami based spiral structure is synthesized to realize a nanoscale spiral antenna for biomedical applications. Single strand DNA (ssDNA) origami structures utilize self-assembly techniques and short ssDNA staples to develop the desired spiral structures. This poster will discuss the methods and protocol to develop DNA origami structure. We further present several approaches to make DNA conductive. We also present a mathematical model to calculate the conductivity of nanoscale antenna

Recurrent syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion due to tolterodine in an elderly male patient

Hyponatremia is defined as serum sodium of <135 mmol/L and equates with a low serum osmolality once translocational hyponatremia and pseudohyponatremia are ruled out. True hyponatremia develops when normal urine-diluting mechanisms are disturbed. In elderly patients, this complication is not uncommon, especially in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Medications are often the most common cause of hyponatremia in these patients. Herewith, we reported a 65-year-old Saudi male, a known case of benign prostatic hypertrophy and hypertension, who developed recurrent hyponatremia secondary to tolterodine. To our knowledge, this is the fifth case reported in literature of such association

Efficacy of Laser therapy for alveolar osteitis: A systematic review of the available evidence

Objective: Alveolar osteitis (commonly known as dry socket) is a very common painful complication of dental extraction with no definitive cure. This systematic review assessed the efficacy of laser therapy in the management of alveolar osteitis. Methods: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Central, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were searched for all studies published till July, 2021 using relevant keywords. All clinical trials that assessed the efficacy of laser in the management of alveolar osteitis were included. Due to missing some numerical data and the substantial heterogeneity across the studies, no meta-analysis was performed. Results: Out of the 296 identified articles, 14 clinical trials comprising 981 patients were included. The laser wavelengths, power output, and energy fluence showed a great variability across the included studies: 632.8 – 2940 nm, 16 mW – 10 W, and 0.2 – 85.7 J/cm2, respectively. All included studies found laser to be efficacious in alleviating pain and accelerating healing in patients with alveolar osteitis. Of the 14 included studies, 13 studies reported superior outcomes in favor of laser therapy as compared to conventional therapies. Conclusion: The available evidence suggests a good efficacy of laser therapy in reducing signs and symptoms of alveolar osteitis. However, owing to the marked methodological heterogeneity and the substantial variations in laser parameters among the included studies, more well-designed clinical trials with adequate sample sizes and standardized laser parameters are highly recommended. Clinical significance: Laser therapy can be applied for the management of dry socket
