Comparison of Perforated 3D Printed Versus Conventional Metal Fixed Bonded Retainer
In recent years a new possibility is available for dental practitioners: CAD-CAM technology and 3D printing, which find their application in all aspects of orthodontics. Orthodontists are already familiar with several products that use 3D printers (i.e. invisible aligners), also known as additive manufacturing, 3D printing is a technology whereby sequential layers of material are layered on top of one another to form an object23. Two recent articles reported the fabrication of a custom lingual retainer cut from a nickel-titanium block with CAD/CAM technology and a CAD/CAM Zirconium bar as a bonded mandibular fixed retainer.

High Tone Power Therapy Versus Transcutanuoselectrical Nerve Stimulation on Polyneuropathic Pain in Diabetic Patients
This study will be carried out on sixty diabetic male patients with polyneuropathy with ages 50-60 years . Patient will be randomly assigned to two grouos. group A will include 30 type 2 diabetic patients with diabetic polyneuropathy. Theses patients will receive High tone power therapy with Frequencies continuously will be scanned from 4096 Hz to 31768 Hz, allowing for a much higher power of up to 5000 mW to be introduced for 3 times per week, for 3 months for 30 minutes every session. Group B : This group will include 30 type 2 diabetic patients with diabetic neuropathy. These patients will receive TENS with applied frequencies range from 2 to 120 Hz. for 3 times per week for 30 minutes every session during 3 months of intervention.

Prevalence of Parental Burnout Among Mothers of Children With Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy is a significant physical disability in children, affecting 2-5 children per 1,000 live births globally. The prevalence varies between countries and is higher in low- and middle-income countries. Studies suggest a relationship between children's motor impairment and parental stress, which can lead to illness, negative family dynamics, and neglect. Parenting stress and pressure have increased, leading to exhaustion and burnout among parents. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of Parental Bowel Syndrome among mothers of children with CP and its relation to motor function levels.

Efficacy of Dapagliflozin Versus Metformin in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Incretins such as glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1) are gut hormones secreted after meals that enhance insulin secretion and help maintain glucose homeostasis.They also reduce hepatic glucagon release, slow gastric emptying, and suppress appetite, aiding in weight control and glycemic management.In PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), studies have found impaired incretin secretion and activity, particularly in overweight/obese individuals.Conflicting results exist regarding GLP-1 levels in PCOS patients, with studies reporting reduced, normal, or increased levels.After an oral glucose tolerance test, increased GIP and lower GLP-1 concentrations have been observed in women with PCOS. Reduced GLP-1 levels are also associated with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG), which are early indicators of prediabetes and potential progression to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.Incretin-based therapy has been suggested as a potential treatment to reverse prediabetes risk by preserving β-cell function in patients with IFG and IGT. The study aims to compare the efficacy of Dapagliflozin to Metformin for treatment of non-diabetic patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Aerobic Training on Cardio-respiratory Fitness and Health Related Quality of Life
Stroke as a cerebrovascular accident has a significant prevalence, as well it was addressed a one of major etiologies for other comorbidities, even mortality. Where, cardiac rehabilitation is a structured exercise program that almost designed to offer an opportunity to break the inactivity cycle, reduce associated cardiovascular risks, also improve perceived confidence and quality of life in stroke survivors . Therefore, aerobic training could be defined as a core component that focuses on cardio-respiratory fitness, walking speed and endurance for stroke survivors. Up on that, this clinical trial will be conducted to investigate the effect of aerobic training on cardiorespiratory fitness and health related quality of life in stroke survivors. It will be conducted on eighty post stroke patient (hemiplegic; 55-65 years old with functional ambulatory category more than 3) from Outpatient clinic of neurological department of El-Kasr El-Aini Hospital. They will be allocated into 2 groups; Group A will involves 40 patients will receive aerobic training program, plus traditional physical therapy program. While, Group B will involves 40 patients will receive traditional physical therapy program only. 6-Menutes walk test, Stroke impact scale are the outcome measures.

Clinical Study Evaluating The Role of Vonoprazan Versus Pantoprazole in Patients With Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the esophagus with or without histological changes. However, the excessive reflux of gastric acid induces some complications, such as esophagitis, esophageal stenosis, cancer or Barrett's esophagus. GERD is classified into two categories: nonerosive reflux disease (NERD) and erosive esophagitis. NERD is characterized by the presence of the typical symptoms of GERD without visible erosive esophagitis on endoscopy. Erosive esophagitis is characterized by injury to the esophageal mucosa on endoscopy. The major symptoms of GERD include heartburn, acid regurgitation and decrease the patient's quality of life (QOL). Therefore, improvement in the QOL of these patients by supplying rapid relief of symptoms is the primary objective of treatment. For decades, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been the mainstay of treatment for erosive esophagitis. Long-term maintenance therapy with PPIs is also recommended to keep healing in patients with more severe erosive esophagitis, given that recurrence occurs in nearly 100% of such patients without therapy. Furthermore, PPIs are restricted in their time of dosing. PPIs are prodrugs that are converted to their active form in the acidic environment of the secretory canaliculus, which is also the sole location of active proton pumps in the parietal cell. Thus, PPIs only inhibit active proton pumps. Given their limited duration of action (half-life nearly 1-2 hours), PPI are taken 30 to 60 minutes before a meal so their presence in the secretory canaliculus coincides with the postprandial peak in active proton pumps. An alternative therapy for patients who may not respond to PPIs and that does not have the requirement for dosing around meals might be of utility. Such a potential alternative therapy is a potassium competitive acid blocker (PCAB), a new class of antisecretory agent that supplies more potent inhibition of gastric acid than PPI. PCAB exhibits a more rapid onset of action than PPIs and achieves a maximum acid inhibitory effect on the 1st day after treatment, while PPIs require 3-5 days. However, few studies have examined whether the rapid onset of vonoprazan contributes to the clinical effects on the typical GERD symptoms of heartburn and acid regurgitation. The previously mentioned findings highlight the need for further studies to evaluate the role of vonoprazan in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease. Aim of the Work The aim of this study is to investigate the possible efficacy of vonoprazan versus Pantoprazole in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease.
