Abstract: Introduction: Pregnancy is a period throughout which women undergo significant changes. The intense immunological, endocrinal, metabolic and vascular alterations may predispose the pregnant women to increased susceptibility to physiological and pathological skin changes. Pregnancy related skin changes can be classified as physiological changes, specific dermatoses and pregnancy related dermatoses. Materials and Methods: Study material comprised of 200 pregnant women with skin diseases attending the skin OPD of Department of Dermatology, SVS Medical College And Hospital, Telangana. The study comprised women in all the trimesters of pregnancy who attended the skin OPD with specific skin complaints. A detailed history was elicited with reference to presenting disease and in relation to pregnancy. A detailed clinical examination was done to note all physiological and pathological skin changes. Routine investigations like blood, urine and stool were done in all cases and in sexually transmitted diseases VDRL and ELISA for HIV were done........

Abstract: Introduction: Nephropathy is one of the serious diabetic complications and haemodialysis the common modality employed generally aimed to correct the altered crystalloids as well as to remove accumulated nitrogenous waste products. But it rarely corrects the vascular lipid levels, hence increasing the thrust of dyslipidaemia and dyslipidaemia induced cardiovascular complications in these patients. A study was planned to assess the cardiovascular risk factors, Cardiac Risk Ratio, Atherogenic Index of plasma and Atherogenic Coefficient in these patients to evaluate the cardiovascular risk. Materials and Methods: Patients of type 2 diabetes suffering from diabetic nephropathy undergoing haemodialysis at Department of......

Abstract: Introduction: Acute respiratory failure may be defined as disruption in the function of the respiratory system that acutely impairs delivering adequate oxygen to or removing carbon dioxide from pulmonary capillary bed or both. It has varied etiology-related manifestations and has a high mortality in the pediatric age group. The diagnosis of respiratory failure relies primarily on arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis. Materials and Methods: An observational retrospective analysis of 60 patients of ARDS admitted at Medical Intensive Care Unit of a tertiary care teaching hospital for a period of 2 years. This study included 60 consecutive ARDS patients who fulfilled the AECC definition of ARDS. Patients who were not on mechanical ventilator were excluded from study...........

Abstract: Direct anterior composite restorative procedures have gained a lot of popularity in the recent years due to their advantages such as immediate esthetics, minimal invasion, cost effectiveness, adhesion to tooth structure and as a chair side treatment modality. A traumatic injury to the dental hard tissue is the most common cause of tissue loss in the esthetic zone of the dentition.Esthetic restoration of fractured incisal edge of maxillary central incisors is demanding, challenging&techniquesensitive. Itssuccessdependsonoperator'sskillsandknowledge. It is important that not only the anatomy is replicated;also, the various shades are placed in proper thickness and position. This case report illustrates the use of a putty index technique for the reproduction of palatal anatomy of the teeth which needs estheticcorrections.

Abstract: Background: A full crown is a restoration that replaces part of the lost tooth structure and support the tooth structure. A full ceramic crown is the right choice for maximum aesthetic requirements. The prognosis of crown restoration one of them depends on internal fit because it is used to assess quality of crown restoration and adaptation. Crown adaptation is obtained from impression techniques namely conventional or digital impression technique. There are two conventional impression techniques for the treatment of fixed denture, namely one-step putty-wash and two-step putty-wash impression technique. The aim of this study is to find the differences among internal fit of all ceramic crownsobtained from one-step putty-wash, two-step putty-wash and digital impression techniques.

Abstract: Background: Keeping the pulp's vitality must be the dentist's first priority. An important precedence in the treatment of deep carious is to preserve pulp vitality.Calcium hydroxide is the gold standard for the pulp capping materials. However in long term clinical studies of pulp capping with calcium hydroxide base materials, failure rates increase after a period of time.As an alternate to calcium hydroxide, Mineral Trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been developed on the basis of calcium silicate water chemistry which contain a mixture of tri-calcium silicate, di-calcium silicate, tri-calcium aluminate, tetra-calcium alluminoferite, calcium sulphate dehydrate and bismuth oxide for radio-opacity.Newly developed BiodentineTMhas a number of advantages over calcium hydroxide and MTA. This bioactive tricalcium silicate is diverse from the usual dental calcium silicate "Portland Cement" materials. The setting reaction is a hydration of tricalcium silicate which produces a calcium silicate gel and a calcium hydroxide. In contact with phosphate ions, it creates precipitates that resemble hydroxyapatite. These precipitates from MTA and tricalcium silicate can be incorporated into dentin. A comparison of the calcium and silica uptake with MTA versus tricalcium silicate demonstrated a greater uptake achieved with tri-calcium silicate. There was an increase in the carbonate content of interfacial dentin, which suggested that inter tubular diffusion and mineral tags of BiodentineTM hydration products creating a hybrid zone.BiodentineTM......

Abstract: Nickel titanium alloy is useful in clinical orthodontics because of its exceptional springiness. The pioneer behind the development of these wires for orthodontics was Andreasen. There are two major phases in the nickel titanium wires. The austenitic phase has the ordered body centered cubic structure that occurs at high temperatures and low stresses. The martensitic phase has a distorted monoclinic, triclinic or hexagonal structure that forms at low temperature a high stress. The shape memory characteristics of the nickel titanium alloys are associated with a reversible transformation between the austenitic and martensitic phases. The martensitic phase forms from the austenitic phase over a certain transformation temperature range or when the stress is increased above

Abstract: Virtual Autopsy or Virtopsy is a growing alternative method for a conventional autopsy that is performed by various imaging techniques for various purposes such as clinical, medico-legal, anatomical. In a conventional autopsy, the dead body is dismembered which is difficult for the remembrance of that person by their family which can be prevented by the use of virtual autopsy. A medico-legal autopsy is done in case of unnatural death of a person, one of which is drowning, it is very difficult to diagnose even with conventional or traditional autopsy but there have been several experiments and findings to diagnose drowning with imaging techniques. Computed tomography was one of the first imaging technique to be used for virtual autopsy, however, over the period various techniques were being used like multi-section computed tomography, micro-computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance microscopy...........

Abstract: Aim: Approach to the traumatic abdominal wall hernia following the blunt trauma. Case: 45 years old male came to the hospital with an alleged history of a road traffic accident 20 days back. Presented to hospital with complaints of swelling and dull aching pain in the left inguinal region. No comorbidities and no previous history of any abdominal surgery. On examination, the patient was vitally stable, and swelling in the left inguinal region of size 8x5 cm was noted. Discussion: Herniation in the anterior abdominal wall following trauma to the abdomen is relatively rare. The incidence of the traumatic abdominal wall hernia is 1%. The blunt trauma is either low velocity or high-velocity trauma. The traumatic herniation happens because of the disruption of the muscle layers of the abdominal wall. Earlier surgical repair of the defect is found to have more advantages compared to the late closure of the defect. Conclusion: Traumatic hernia is a rare entity. Earlier surgical repair is found to have advantages for the patient compared to the late surgical repair. Corrective repair is the definitive treatment for the traumatic hernia.
