Abstract:Close to 800 000 people die due to suicide every year, which is one person every 40 seconds. Suicide is a global phenomenon and occurs throughout the lifespan is the second leading cause of death among 15-29year olds globally. There are indications that for each adult who died by suicide there may have been more than 20 others attempting suicide.[1] Worldwide intentional poisoning is one of the important causes for mortality and morbidity[2].A conservative estimate based on these data indicates that there were approximately 110,000 pesticide self-poisoning deaths each year from........

Abstract: The primary maxillary incisors teeth are small and require restorations that are retentive, esthetic and resistant to fracture and wear, therefore, are difficult to treat. Esthetic treatment of severely decayed primary teeth is one of the greatest challenges for pediatric dentists. The use of esthetic restoration has become an important aspect of pediatric dentistry. However, various treatment options have been described in literature to ensure proper esthetics and retention of restorations for such cases.

Abstract: Background: Acceptability is one dimension of quality of health care demanding that patient satisfaction with care be evaluated and incorporated into planning and implementation of continuous quality improvement. In the global trend towards patient centeredness, what the Patients value in any given facility should be the benchmark for satisfaction with services as these vary with different populations and other factors. Rated importance of service components is proposed as a benchmark for rated patient satisfaction and the difference between them as the Service Gap providing measurable index for continuous quality improvement. Aim: To determine the pattern of patient satisfaction with service quality, patients' rated importance of service components and existing Service Gaps........

Abstract: Tubular adenomas are rare benign epithelial tumors of the breast accounting for only 0.13% to 1.7% of all benign breast lesions. Preoperative diagnosis is often difficult as they mimic fibroadenomas both clinically as well asradiologically. Histopathological examination is necessary for correct diagnosis.We describe a case of a breast lump in young femalewhich was diagnosed as fibroadenoma clinically as well as on FNAC. Surgical excision was done and on histopathological examination a diagnosis of tubular adenoma with a concurrent fibroadenoma was made. The development of tubular adenoma alongwithfibroadenoma in the same breast concurrently as seen in our case is a very rare occurrence.

Abstract: The β thalassemias are a heterogeneneous group of inherited disorders of haemoglobin (Hb) synthesis characterized by a reduction(β+) or absence of (β0) synthesis of the β globin chains of Hb, resulting in an imbalanced chain synthesis.1 As per WHO estimates 4-5% of the world's population are carriers of hemoglobinopathies. World wide 15 million people have clinically apparent thalassemic disorders. There are about 240 million carriers of β thalassemia world wide and in India alone ,the number is approximately 30 million with a mean prevalence of 3.3.Every year approximately 100,000..............

Abstract: Introduction: 20% off India's population is comprised of the adolescent age group. Adolescents present a distinct array of reproductive, sexual, psychological and nutritional health problems. The situation is further compounded by an increasing incidence of RTAs, substance use and violence.. Adolescents comprise one of the most neglected sections of society and it is with the aim of addressing these issues that AFHCs were established and further strengthened under RKSK. This study was conducted to assess the functioning of AFHCs across Kashmir Valley. Methods: The.........

Abstract: India's immunisation programme is the largest in the world, with annual cohorts of around 26.7 million infants and 30 million pregnant women. However an estimated 38% of children failed to receive all basic vaccines in the first year of life in 2016. Intensified Mission Indradhanush (IMI was launched to accelerate progress with the aimed to reach 90% full immunisation coverage in districts and urban areas with persistently low levels of coverage. This study finds the coverage in one of the rounds of IMI in Patna city of Bihar, India. Methodology: Monitoring.........

Abstract: Adipose tissue that surrounds the Heart and its vessels functions as a complex organ being composed of adipocytes, stromal cells, macrophages, and a neuronal network, all these being nourished through a rich micro-circulation. Adipose tissue around the heart can further be subdivided into intrapericardial and extra pericardial fat. Their thicknesses and volumes can be quantified by echocardiography as well as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. The term extra-pericardial fat consists of thoracic adipose tissue external to the parietal pericardium. Its origin is from the primitive........
