Abstract: Primary breast diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PB-DLBCL) is the most common type of both primary and secondary lymphoma B cells, this is a rare extranodal involvement, defined by the presence of a primary lesion within the breast without extra-mammary sites of Involvement except regional node. Typically presents in middle-aged women as a unilateral palpable breast mass. Imaging is unable to distinguish lymphoma from breast cancer, which is more common; therefore, Biopsy is necessary to establish the diagnosis. Whole-body positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) is widely used in determining clinical staging. The Treatment is chemotherapy and radiation, not surgical excision. The outcome is less favorable, however than that for epithelial breast cancer.......

Abstract: Endodontic success largely depends on the thorough knowledge of the root canal anatomy, its variations, the presence of additional roots and root canals and unusual root canal morphology. This case report is about the successful endodontic management of right maxillary first molar in a young male with three roots and six root canals that were identified under the magnification of Dental Operating Microscope and confirmed with Cone Beam Computed Tomography..

Abstract: Kangaroo Care (KC) in response to a crisis with the large numbers of low birth weight infants, shortage of staff and facilities, overcrowded nurseries & High mortality due to hospital infection. There had been many documented advantages of KC in previous literature. In this study we planned to compare the effect of duration of kangaroo care on daily weight gain in hemo-dynamically stable preterm and low birth weight neonates. This was a stratified randomized control trail which was done for duration of 9 months from March 2019 to November 2019. In this study, haemodynamically stable preterm infants weighing less than 2000 grams were included. Total 79(71.2%) preterm and low birth weight neonates fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included in the present study. Mean Daily weight........

Abstract: Objectives: To evaluate Impact of artificial saliva on the color stability of different nanocomposite restorative materials at different storage times. subjects and methods A total number of 30 resin composite discs were prepared according to the manufacturer's instruction to assess color stability. The resin composite discs were divided into 3 main groups A (n = 10), composed of (A1) Filtek Z350XT (3MESPE), (A2) sphere TEC Dentsply Sirona, and (A3) Estelite sigma Quick. color stability was assessed. Results: at 3 and 12 months, spectrophotometer results exhibited that the "Z350XT" showed statistically significantly lower mean color change values (P<0.05) when compared with "Ceram X" and Estilite £ quick. Conclusion: the soaking time is of great importance, as it affects the composite color stability as well

Abstract: A research was conducted on eight patients aged 7.5-12 years with Class II Division 1 malocclusion who underwent myofunctional therapy with the Myobrace system. All patients were examined clinically, functionally and radiographically, before, during and after treatment. Analyses were also performed on dental casts before and after treatment, and at both stages frontal and lateral photographs were taken for documentation. All eight patients had a decrease in the overbite and overjet, a noticeable expansion of the dental arches, as well as an increase in the intercanine, interpremolar and intermolar widths. Regarding the correction of atypical swallowing,........

Abstract: The art of aesthetic dentistry has always been on the quest to achieve a beautiful smile. Discoloured teeth are considered as major impairment in aesthetics. Alterations in the colour may be physiologic or pathologic and endogenous or exogenous in nature. An array of treatment alternatives like ceramics or composite veneering, bleaching, full coverage crowns, macroabrasion and microabrasion are available to manage intrinsic tooth discolouration. Most of these treatment modalities are expensive, need exclusive materials and the need of specialized laboratories. Microabrasion, macroabrasion.......

Abstract: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered the "gold standard" for the surgical treatment of gallstone disease. This procedure results in less postoperative pain, better cosmesis, and shorter hospital stays and disability from work than open cholecystectomy. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered the "gold standard" for the surgical treatment of gallstone disease. This procedure results in less postoperative pain, better cosmesis, and shorter hospital stays and disability from work than open cholecystectomy. A comparative clinical study was conducted in the department of Anesthesia, Sylhet M.A.G. Osmani Medical College and Hospital, Bangladesh during the period from January 2020 to December 2020. Our study aimed to compare Spinal Anesthesia and General Anesthesia for........

Abstract: Background: First COVID-19 cases were detected in Bangladesh in Dhaka city on the 8th March of 2020. Till then the number of Covid-19 patients is being increased. In several countries, health care services delivery is being compromised due to the surge in the number of infected patients during such pandemic. Day by day this disease is changing its own nature and dimension and forming newer hotspots around the globe. We have very few research-oriented data regarding the final outcomes of COVID-19 patients specially, in the northern part of Bangladesh. The aim of this study was to assess the outcomes of COVID-19 patients in the northern part of Bangladesh. Methods: This.......

Abstract: Background: In Southeast Asian countries like Bangladesh, management of tinea is difficult where uses of several systemic antifungal agents are very common. Fluconazole is a well-known hydrophilic triazole which is available, cost effective and frequently used in treating several tinea infections in Bangladesh. For this reason, information regarding the efficacy and safety of recommended high dose oral fluconazole in treating tinea corporis is very important. We have not enough research-based data regarding this issue. Aim of the study:The aim of this study was to evaluate theefficacy and safety of recommended high dose oral fluconazole in treating tinea corporis......

Abstract: Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU), a common complication of diabetes occurs due to pheripheral neuropathy in long standing disease. About 1 in 6 people with diabetes develop a foot ulcer at some stage. Diabetic wounds are relatively difficult to heal due to defective fibroblast activity, poor angiogenesis and lack of cell migration. In chronic wounds as in DFU, there is increased destruction or inhibition of growth factors due to elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines and metallomatrix protein following repeated trauma and infection. The conventional treatment methods for diabetic foot ulcers includesmetabolic control, adequate wound debridement, treatment of comorbidities, revascularization and antimicrobial treatment of infections. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) helps in activating mesenchymal and epithelial cells, stimulating epidermal repair after injury. It also plays......

Abstract: Appendicitis is the most typical cause of an acute abdomen. Clinical history and physical examination are used to make the diagnosis of acute appendicitis.Abdominal ultrasonography is frequently used to diagnose appendicitis. To reach the diagnosis, numerous grading systems were devised. These rating scales are based on clinical characteristics and lab tests. Alvarado, Modified Alvarado, and RIPASA are a few examples.There is still no conclusive laboratory test for the diagnosis of appendicular perforation. Few studies have shown that appendicular perforation is associated with elevated serum bilirubin, but their significance has not been emphasized. The current study aims to evaluate the link between bilirubin levels and its validity as a predictive marker for the diagnosis of appendicular perforation in light of the aforementioned context.......
