Abstract: Uterine torsion is defined as a rotation of more than 45 degrees around the long axis of the uterus. It is an uncommon but potentially life threatening condition. The non- specific clinical course and rarity of this condition makes the diagnosis difficult preoperatively and causes difficulty in effecient management. We present here a case of uterine torsion that presented as 23year old primipara with pain abdomen at 31 weeks with IUFD. When induction of labour failed and patient started developing sepsis, caesarean section was planned which revealed 180degree torsion of gravid right sided horn of bicornuate uterus. Excision of that horn was done following delivery of fetus by posterior wall incision.
Keywords: bicornuate uterus, posterior wall incision, uterine torsion

Abstract: Aims and Objectives: To study the effect of duration of illness and degree of insight as predictors of treatment outcome in patients with obsessive compulsive disorder. Methods and materials: Patients diagnosed with OCD (ICD-10) at OP setting were included in the study and followed up for three months under treatment with SSRIs. Duration of illness was noted. YBOCS severity scale and BABS were administered at the time of entry into study and after three months of treatment. A 35% reduction in YBOCS score was considered treatment response. Results: Of 49 patients in study, 20 responded to treatment. Non responders had significantly longer duration of illness( p = 0.004 ) and poorer insight(p = 0.046) than responders..........

Abstract: Functional gastrointestinal disorders contributes to severe morbidity in diabetic patients. Recent studies have proved an association between FGID and TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS risk especially with regard to intestinal dysbiosis(1). Diabetic individuals have proven esophageal,gastric,intestinal,gall bladder and ano rectal dysmotility(2). So we planned to conduct a prospective study to assess the efficacy of probiotics in Diabetic FGID. Our study has shown a dramatic improvement in FGID symptoms through pro biotics treatment in diabetic individuals which certainly support the ideology of intestinal dysbiosis as causative factor in FGID
in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract: To determine the effect of a natural extract toothpaste Parodontax®on the numbers of initial dental plaque colonizers.
Methods: AQuasi- clinical trial type of study was conducted on 48 participants (age between 18 and 30 years). The study participants were students attending a technical training institute in Nairobi County, Kenya.Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacilli and Staphylococcus aureus were the three microorganisms chosen for culture and study. All visible supragingival dental plaque was collected using sterile swabs at baseline and at the end of three weeks. The plaque samples were then cultured and the colony forming units of Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacilli and Staphylococcus aureus were calculated before and after commercially available Parodontax® use. The plaque index of Silness and Loe.............

Abstract: O escoamento de cimentos é a propriedade que confere a capacidade de penetração nas estreitas irregularidades da dentina e constitui um importante fator na obturação de canais laterais e acessórios. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar in vitro o nível de escoamento dos cimentos endodonticos empregados rotineiramente na fase de obturação dos sistemas de canais radiculares. Foram estudados os cimentos: Endofill, AH Plus, MTA Fillapex e Sealer 26. Na comparação entre os grupos foi realizado o teste ANOVA e posterior o teste de Tukey, com nível de confiança de 95%. Após um estudo realizado na comparação dos quatro cimentos endodonticos os resultados mostraram que o cimento MTA Fillapex apresentou o maior escoamento entre os 4 cimentos estudados e o cimento AH Plus foi o único que demonstrou haver escoamento após 24 e 48 horas.

Abstract: Introduction: In malaria patients, a prompt and accurate diagnosis is the key to effective disease management. In order to identify a quick and reliable technique for accurate diagnosis of malaria this study has been conducted. Methods: A total of 3603 patients who were suspected with malaria were screened for malarial parasites by various methods like Thick and thin peripheral blood film(PBS), Quatitative buffy coat (QBC)and Rapid diagnostic card test. Results: Out of 3603 clinically suspected patients, Two hundred ninety four patients were infected with P. vivax and 297 were infected with P. falciparum by QBC method. However, QBC was able to identify 294 P. vivax and 288 P. falciparum followed by 291 P. vivax, 288 P. falciparum and 245 P.vivax and 266 P. falciparum by Advatange mal card and peripheral blood smear respectively............

Abstract: Junctional epithelium is the most dynamic feature of the periodontal tissues as it not only plays an important role in health but also displays various characteristic changes in disease. The biologic width around tooth and implants is also an important consideration from treatment point of view. In the following review we have discussed the importance of junctional epithelium and biologic width around teeth and implant and the factors that influence the peri-implant biologic width.

Abstract: Periodontal disease is a complex infectious disease resulting from interplay of bacterial infection and host response to bacterial challenge, and the disease is modified by environmental, acquired risk factors and genetic susceptibility. Molecular and Epidemiological studies of the oral microbial flora suggest that, microbial factors responsible for periodontal disease, alone cannot predict the presence or severity of the disease. Therefore, in high-risk patient groups, host susceptibility factors might play an important role in the etiology and progression of periodontal disease. Recently, host susceptibility factors, such as immune response factors, systemic disease state, and other environmental factors like smoking, have been found to be important contributors to the periodontal disease. Hence........
