Abstract: Introduction: India is extremely susceptible for swine origin Influenza (Swine Flu) outbreak being second largest populated country,having very little knowledge about Swine flu transmission, so the sudden onset of influenza transmission could lead to catastrophic outcomes. Since Indian Medical Undergraduate Students (IMUGS) comes in direct contact with the patients, sothis study was conducted among IMUGS to assess theirbaseline knowledge about swine flu followed by assessment of effect of aneducational intervention on their pre-existing knowledge.Aims &ObjectiveTo document the baseline knowledge about swine flu among IMUGS &assess the effects of an educational intervention on theirknowledge.Methodology:-Cross sectional study conducted among IMUGS of 1st& 2nd.........

Abstract: An evaluation of twenty patients was made during a period of thirty six months. The treatment, the observation and the evaluation of the patients have taken place in the private office of dentistry "Dent Estet" located in Shtip, Republic of Macedonia. All of the patients of this study were treated with the same system of dental implants and the results of the treatment were much similar among different patients. One of the clinical cases analyzed in details is a 30 years old male patient with missing second premolar, first and second molar on the left side of the mandible. As a consequence of the early lost of these teeth and the delayed decision of the patient for dental treatment, the amount of alveolar bone tissue was significantly reduced. There were done clinical and other investigations such.......

Abstract: Ameloblastoma is an epithelial odontogenic tumor which is locally aggressive and has tendency to recur. Granular cell ameloblastoma is a histological variant of ameloblastoma which occurs along with other histological variants and is characterised by presence of granular cells. It is usually seen in long-standing or recurrent cases of ameloblastoma. We report a case of granular cell ameloblastoma in a 34-year-old female patient who had been previously treated surgically for follicular ameloblastoma.

Abstract: Tuberculosis has been one of the major causes of death globally. Due to the high risk of contact transmission. This has led to the increase in the morbidity and mortality rates and several countries have been endemic, especially in the developing countries. Ranked as the second leading cause of morbidity from communicable diseases after HIV/AIDS. Study evaluated the Mycobacterium T. complex from sputum samples and perform PCR using IS6110 gene sequence to detect MTB complex. Crossectional study design with sample of 100 collected from the OPD and IPD conveniently at the department of micro-biology. Study period was from Aug., 2012 to Aug., 2015. Sputum samples for smear culture was collected as per the RNTCP guidelines. About 70% of the males and 30% of females were susceptible. Of which at 72weeks reported 86% with cough. Those with severe fever were about 73%, chest pain 60%, breathlessness 70% and loss of appetite 78%. Among the 100 sample in the ZN staining, 14%.........

Abstract: Background: Fine needle aspiration cytology is a minimally invasive technique used in the initial diagnosis of different types of lesions located in neck region commonly originating from cervical lymph node, thyroid gland, salivary glands and soft tissues. The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of FNAC in various neck lesions in correlation with their histopathological examination.Materials and methods: A hospital based prospective study was conducted among 86 patients with palpable neck region lesions in the Department of Pathology, SPMC BIKANER from JUNE 2011 to December 2013. FNAC weredone from palpable masses of neck regions.Result: There were 86 FNAC cases enrolled, out of which lymph node lesions (n=42) were the most common lesions followed by thyroid (n=26), other miscellaneous lesions (n=2) and salivary gland (n=14)...........

Abstract: A variety of fractures of the hand are occurring due to Road traffic accidents, mechanization and with the tools used in agriculture. It is very common to find a compound fracture of the hand in the Emergency Room. The general principles of trauma management is the same for trauma anywhere in the body, the hand, being a specialized structure interacting with the environment, is sensitive to functional impairment, more so when there is extensive scarring and prolonged immobilization. Careful judgment is required, whether the wound is sufficiently debrided and clean enough to permit primary closure, or whether it should be left open for repeat debridement and irrigation and dressings. If Primary closure is not feasible the wound can be reevaluated in the operating room and plans made at that time for closure. The goal is to close the wound within the first 4 to 5 days before granulation tissues form and contractures develop. The study cohort consist of 105 cases of compound meta carpal.........

Abstract: Patient survival rates of oral cancer have not changed significantly over the past year. Chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy are various treatment modalities for oral cancer. Drug resistance is the major barrier in the field of cancer treatment. Understanding molecular mechanism behind the chemo resistance is very critical to find ways to overcome this and to decrease mortality rates of oral cancer in future. Thisreview explores current molecular mechanisms behind chemo resistance of oral cancer and targeted therapies to overcome chemo resistance.

Abstract: The margins of fixed restoration should be closely adapted to the cavosurface finish line to survive in the harsh biological environment of the oral cavity. This invitro study was designed to evaluate and compare the influence of two different cervical finish line types (shoulder & radial shoulder) on the marginal adaptation of two different all-ceramic CAD/CAM systems (Cerec 3& Lava) before and after veneering ceramic over the Zirconia copings. Two nickel-chromium metal dies were fabricated which replicates all-ceramic crown preparations with two different finish line configurations i.e. shoulder & radial shoulder one each. A total of 28 Y-TZP (zirconia) coping samples were fabricated using Cerec 3 & Lava CAD/CAM systems (14 each). Out of 14 zirconia coping samples in each system, seven........

Abstract: The present study was undertaken to compare the analytical quality of 1) Diacetyl Monoxime Method and 2) Berthelot's Method of estimation of blood urea. The performance characteristics were experimentally analysed to evaluate the analytical range, percentage recovery, sensitivity, accuracy, precision and detection limit of the two test methods. Performance of the methods were judged using statistical techniques. In a rural locality, due to interrupted electric power supply and inadequate UPS system for backup power, it was felt necessary to introduce a reliable manual backup method for blood urea test.Comparative analysis based on performance characteristics criteria indicate which of the two methods is acceptable. In the present study, Diacetyl monoxime method shows better.....
