Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Metaheuristic-Optimized Feature Selection for Early-Stage Diabetes Prediction With SHAP-Guided Insight into Influential AttributesEsmay Azam Rochy, Jannatul Ferdaus, Uzzal Biswas et al.Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that causes elevated blood glucose. This long-term health condition can lead to cardiovascular diseases, stroke, kidney failure, visual impairment, neuropathy, and even death in critical cases. So, a Computer-Aided Diagnostic (CAD) system is necessary to diagnose diabetes automatically. A clinician can utilize a machine learning-based CAD system that automatically diagnoses many people. This paper will … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 24 Feb 2026 · 1,736 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractHistopathology of Microbially Induced Corrosion and Cluster Failure of Moderately Rough Surface Oral Implants in a Resident Bone MicrobiotaStephen Nelson, Helen Hu et al.This case report presents as a maxillary "cluster-failure", where six moderately rough-surface oral implants (1-2 microns) were installed to support a full-arch hybrid bridge. Understanding cluster failures requires the acknowledgment of biofilm science that recognizes the persistence of bacterial infection in bone following extraction and the need to bioremediate the bone-bed, by surgical debridement, before implant installation. The patient, a … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2024 · 8,482 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Electronic Cigarette E-Liquids on the Adhesion and Growth of Osteoblast CellsAna Carla Lorenz-Vieira, Cesar Augusto Magalhães Benfatti, Mahmoud RouabhiaElectronic cigarettes (E-cigarettes) were designed to replace traditional cigarettes to decrease the harmful effects of smoking. The liquid in e-cigarettes contains different chemicals, such as Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerin (VG), and may contain nicotine.
