Abstract: Background: Atraumatic extraction preserves bone, gingival architecture, and allows for the option of future or immediate dental implant placement.Physics forceps were designed by Dr. Richard Golden in 2004; it enables to predictably remove even the most grossly broken down teeth with little or no trauma to the surgical site. The biomechanical design of this instrument decreases the incidence of root fracture, and maintains the buccal bone plate, which is essential for the proper healing of an immediately placed dental implant.Post-extraction complications are few, but could be further minimised by proper handling of patients, reducing the number of extractions and by emphasising the need of early reporting of patients with post-extraction complications.The development of Physics Forceps® by Golden......

Abstract: Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the incidence of ROP and risk factors associated with disease by screening premature babies at risk for ROP. Result: In this study incidence of ROP was 18.33% and only factors found to have an independent association with occurrence of ROP were birth weight and gestational Age. Method: Prospective, observational study conducted in JLN hospital Ajmer, Rajasthan form September 2016 to September 2017. Conclusion: Appropriate screening and timely treatment are crucial to avoid ROP related blindness.

Abstract: Choledochal cysts are rareand it is known that it manifests more in infancy and childhood. They are in most cases considered congenital due to its occurrence in the fetuses andneonates. Their origin has been the subject of many studies. However it was described that one of the origins may be related to an abnormal connection betweenthe common bile duct and pancreatic appear in different forms, most often as fusiform dilatation or cystic of the common bile duct at radiography duct and chronic pancreatic juice reflux into the common bile duct, resulting in irritation of the duct andconsequently dilatation. Imaging diagnostic tools means a lot in diagnosis such as ultrasonography (US) is one of thebest initial methods of evaluating dilatation of the intra- and extrahepaticbile ducts. Computed tomography (CT) is also an important in analyzingthe intrahepatic biliary tree.......

Abstract: Background: Schizophrenia is a complex syndrome that commonly occurs between 20 and 25 years. The symptoms after the first psychotic episode are the aggravation of those presented at the prodrome phase and divides in three groups: negative, positive, and cognitive symptoms. Aim: to identify factors that modify the quality of life of patients with schizophrenia. Methodology: it is a systematic review of the literature, whose articles were selected from the last 5 years of PubMed, IBECS and LILACS following the PRISMA-P checklist and Cochrane guideline. The final sample was evaluatedby independent evaluators. Results: eight articles were analyzed and all of then found a global decrease in quality of life in the schizophrenic population. The preponderant factors for the lower quality of life of these patients divides into environmental factors, intrinsic to the individual and clinical presentation.......

Abstract: Background: Use of Illicit drugs or substances among medical students was a phenomenon which has been widely studied, but remains of interest due to its' high prevalence and the potential consequences like physical and psychosocial health problems. Students of this age group are more vulnerable due to increased academic pressure, influence from the seniors and increased popularity and availability of substances. By Understanding the pattern and circumstances which lead to alcohol or drugs abuse would help in initiating appropriate interventions to protect the young adults from substance abuse. Aim of the Study: To Screen the Second Year M.B.B.S Students to assess their physical and mental health status; to assess the awareness of alcohol and drugs and consequences of using them, among second year M.B.B.S students.......

Abstract: Background: Social determinants of health and non-medical factors of health are key aspects of how patients access and use the healthcare system and experience health outcomes. Non-medical determinants greatly impact health, and these consist of social determinants of health and the provision of health and healthcare. Understanding these issues is crucial to understanding how to improve health and wellness for patients. Exploring these factors is important in the overall structure of addressing health and health outcomes. Materials and Methods: A careful review of the literature identified the key issues present that comprise the non-medical and social determinants of health. This review provided keen insight into the factors that the healthcare system should address to improve healthcare.......

Abstract: Salivary gland tumors represent an uncommon heterogeneous group of neoplasms with complex clinico-pathological behaviour. These are diverse group of neoplasms, and this constitutes about 0.5 % of all cancers and 5% of head-and-neck malignancy[1]. Around 64%–80% are located in the parotid gland, 7%–11% in the submandibular glands, and the remainder being distributed between the sublingual (1%) and the minor salivary glands (9%–23%) throughout the oral cavity [2,3].
A neoplasm in the parotid gland is statistically more likely to be benign than one arising in a minor salivary gland. Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign salivary gland tumor, and mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common malignant salivary gland tumor; the diagnosis of the salivary gland tumor includes clinical examination, supported
