Abstract: Liver abscess is a suppurative cavity in the liver resulting from the invasion and multiplication of microorganisms, entering directly from an injury through the blood vessels or by the way of biliary ductal system. Liver abscess are most commonly due to amebic, pyogenic or mixed infections. Less commonly these may be fungal in origin. Amebic liver abscess occurs most commonly on a world wide, basis, the pyogenic liver abscess predominates in the united state. Liver abscess is found more commonly in men between 20-40year age, but can occurs at any age. Approximately 60% are solitary and mainly located in right lobe of the liver, as a result of the streaming of portal blood flow secondary to the fact that.......

Abstract: Periodontitis and cardiovascular disease have an association as there are a couple of common etiological factors between the two. There have been an extensive investigation in the recent years on the relationship between periodontitis and cardiovascular disease. This research mostly focused on the fact that periodontitis is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease(CVD). This article reviews the association between periodontitis and CVD. In addition, the potential mechanisms of any association between periodontitis and CVD as well as the effects of periodontal treatment on CVD are discussed. As periodontitis and cardiovascular disease have common risk factors researchers have investigated the relationship between the two in the recent decades. As a result of these research, a relationship between periodontitis and cardiovascular disease has been found. Our aim in this article is to investigate the etiological relationship between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease and the mechanisms involved in this association..

Abstract: Diabetes is linked to tooth loss primarily because people with diabetes are more susceptible to periodontal disease. Periodontal diseases are infections, inflammations, and loss of tissue in the gums and other tooth-supporting structures such as bone. Hence based on the literature findings of the prevalence of tooth loss in diabetic patients the current observational study was planned. The present study aims to find out the demographic details of and number of missing teeth in diabetic patients. The current retrospective study was conducted in five private dental clinics in Dhaka city on a total of 100 patients were enrolled in the present study. The 50 patients were divided into the patients who suffered from diabetes and 50 patients were considered in the normal group as control cases. It can be concluded from the findings of the present study that there is a significant difference in teeth loss amongst diabetics and non-diabetics. Hence care should be taken by diabetic patients for dental problems by regular visits to the Dentist..

Abstract: Lepra reactions are very much common in patients suffering from leprosy, may occur in up to 25% of patients with paucibacillary leprosy and 40% in multibacillary leprosy causing significant morbidity and complications. Oral prednisolone is the most frequently used drug to control these reactions. Injectable triamcinolone acetonide, if given intra-muscularly once every 3 weeks for 24 weeks can effectively control these reactions. A study was carried in 100 leprosy patients suffering from lepra reactions (57 patients suffering from type 2 and 43 patients from type 1 lepra reactions).Patients was selected by purposive sampling and then randomization into 2 groups. Group A patients were treated by inj. triamcinolone, 40 mg I/M once in every 3 weeks for 24 weeks and group B patients received oral prednisolone , starting 40 mg and then tapering the dose gradually for 24 weeks. Two parameters.....

Abstract: Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease and it is characterized by the production of autoantibodies specific for the disease like rheumatoid factor, antibodies against cyclic citrullinated peptides (Anti-CCP), antinuclear autoantibodies (ANA) etc. We have very few specific data regarding these issues. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to describe the frequency of anti-CCP positivity in active rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: This was an observational cross sectional study which was conducted in the Rheumatology Out Patient Department and Medicine Indoor, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Bangladesh during the period from.....

Abstract: Background: Dengue is the most rapidly spreading mosquito-borne disease caused by flavivirus. Approximately 50% of world's population is at risk of dengue virus (DENV) infection. Fatal aspects of DENV infection are dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), dengue shock syndrome (DSS) and expanded dengue syndrome (EDS) and are frequently diagnosed later due to less availability of molecular and serological diagnostic tools especially in rural areas. Some cheap and time saving laboratory tests could be used as evidence of severe dengue infection before getting worse.........

Abstract: Temporomandibular disorders are a group of clinical problems, the origin can be of a muscular nature or by involvement of the joint complex. In some of the cases, the skeletal class ll patients present signs and symptoms in the Temporomandibular Joint, because in this type of patients the condyle presents an advanced position regard to the articular fossa. It is vitally important to correctly diagnose the presented disorder in order to give a correct treatment and end the patient's discomfort. This article shows the clinical case of a patient who was treated with two phases, the first with a dental guard and second with orthodontic treatment.

Abstract: Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) occurs when the strains of Mycobacterium are resistant to the first-line anti-tuberculosis regimen. Extra pulmonary presentations with multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB) are uncommon forms of the disease, which warrant high degree of suspicion and strong laboratory back up. We report a case of 10 years old female child who presented with persistent glandular swelling over left side of neck even after 9 months of completion of anti-tubercular therapy. Aspiration of pus from the swelling , then analysis of multidrug resistance done by CBNAAT(Cartridge based nucleic acid amplification testing) based on the Xpert MTB/RIF assay technology
