Abstract: Background: There has been a two fold increase in the older population since 1980 and the numbers have been growing faster in developing countries. This is due to a decline in fertility rates and increase in life expectancy. There is not only an increase in physical burden but also psychological issues in the elderly. Rapid urbanization and a change in family structure causing decreased support for the aged lead to the emergence of old age homes, adjustment to which adds additional psychological burden. AIMS: To assess the prevalence of depression in elderly in an old age home. Methods: The study was conducted in 40 inmates aged >60 yearsin an old age home in south India. The socio-demographic details were........

Abstract: The medical multiparakit is a device which is used to calibrate the basic parameters of the body. The device enables the people from pastoral region to disseminate the recorded parameters in android app to the medical practitioner of the pastoral region. The body variables values will be crosschecked with the standard variables values and will be perusaled by the medical practitioner. This also aids the normal people to know their body condition being at home. They give the momentous difference between the normal and abnormal body variables.

Abstract: Aims and Objectives: A large proportion of cataract patients in rural India are untreated. Evidence indicates lack of awareness and attitudinal barriers being present for this backlog. Hence the present study was designed to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice regarding cataract surgery amongst the rural patients who had attended a surgical eye camp facility. Methodology: A structured, validated questionnaire was administered to patients diagnosed as cataract from an eye camp at Barsana, India. There were 13 items in the questionnaire assessing their awareness, perception, attitude and practice in regard to undergoing surgery for cataract. Chi-square test for independence was used for statistical analysis. Confidence intervals...........

Abstract: Aims and Objectives: To determine if there is any deviation between agglomeration of the bone and the width of the teeth and its level. Methodology: On the Clinic of Orthodontics, 68 studio models were analyzed with different malocclusion. For this purpose we used Bolton and Lundstrum analyses. Results: According to the Bolton analysis of 12 teeth, in 38,2% from the analyzed models the reason for discrepancy was the bigger width of the teeth from the maxilla, while in 57.4% the result is reversed. In 4.4% the width of the teeth corresponds with the size of the dental arch. Conclusion: According to the final results, we can still use the preceding analyses as diagnostic methods for determination of dental harmony.

Abstract: Anterior crossbite is a malocclusion involving palatal positioning of the maxillary anterior teeth in relation to the mandibular anterior teeth. Children with untreated anterior crossbite could develop complications such as gingiva recession, TMJ dysfunction and worsening of mandibular displacement. There are different treatment modalities for correction of anterior crossbite in children. The decision on which approach to be used depends on the aetiology of the crossbite, treatment objectives and behaviour of the child. This paper presents a case of a 6-year old child with anterior crossbite involving multiple teeth. A fixed lower inclined bite plane (Catlan's appliance) was used to correct the crossbite. Positive bite was successfully achieved in a short period of time without unwanted effects

Abstract: Background: Aside from clinical variables, the quality of life should be considered in the planning and monitoring of the therapeutic process in patients with cancer. Although it is widely known that this parameter can have a considerable impact on the therapeutic outcome, it is not routinely screened in oncological patients. Aim: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the impact of pharmaceutical care on Quality of life in cervical cancer patients treated with either chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Methods: An observational prospective study was conducted over a period of 6 months on 70 patients in the Department of Radiotherapy, GGH, Guntur. The EORTC QLQ-C30 3.0 version, EORTC QLQ CX24 was used to evaluate the patients' quality of life at three different stages i.e., before treatment, on admission, after treatment, at discharge
