Abstract: BACKGROUND: Diabetes Mellitus is a group of metabolic disease with increasing incidence every year with severe complications. The occurrence of ulcers in diabetic patients is the most common, attributed to the presence of thrombosis due to increased platelet function. Platelet volume indices (PVI) such as mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), and platelet-large cell ratio (P-LCR) are the indicators of increased platelet activity and can be considered as potential biomarkers for diabetic complications. AIM To study PVI in Type 2 diabetics with and without diabetic ulcer in comparison to non diabetic patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS:......

Abstract: Juvenile ossifying fibroma is a benign fibro-osseous lesion.1 Ossifying fibromas are of two types, the central type and peripheral type. Central ossifying fibroma is also of two types, conventional type and juvenile type. 2Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a locally aggressive variant of central ossifying fibromas of the jaws, and it has a high tendency of recurrence with more common in young ones.2 Lesion found both in maxilla and mandible,most commonly in maxilla,paranasal sinus and sometimes orbit. It rarely involves mandible.3 It mostly affects the children less than 15 years of age.3 On the basis of histopathology,it is of 2 types psammamatoid and trabecular.3 This article reports a rare case of young adult who presented with a benign lesion in floor of mouth of mandible.

Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Management of condylar fractures had generated great deal of discussion and controversy than any other fields of maxillofacial trauma. Condylar fractures account for a total of 25% to 35% of all the mandibular fractures. The current scenario of management of condylar fractures had moved towards open reduction and internal fixation by using different plating systems. Single and two miniplates placed along the fractured condyle could not totally neutralise the dynamic osteosynthesis of the condyle which showed the way towards the usage of three dimensional plating system. Diminution of micro movements between implant and the bone interface increases the implant stability which lead to the shift of era towards the locking plates.......

Abstract: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a global health issue with a rising incidence and prevalence. In individuals with Chronic Kidney Disease, abnormalities in the structure and function of the thyroid gland, as well as the metabolism and plasma levels of thyroid hormones, are common. Because thyroid function tests in patients with CKD have been inconsistent in prior research, a prospective investigation of various thyroid functions is being conducted to see if there is a link between thyroid malfunction and the severity of renal disorders. Method: A prospective study was carried out on 50 patients with chronic kidney disease who were being treated conservatively. The Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay was used to measure T3, T4, and TSH quantitatively, and the results were examined.......

Abstract: Palato gingival groove (PGG) is an extremely unusual developmental defect that is most commonly present on the palatal surface of maxillary teeth. PGG forms as the central fossa passes the cingulum and persists in an apical axis for variable distances. The flaw is hidden from cleaning attempts and provides an ideal environment for plaque or calculus to accumulate. If the issue is not addressed, it can lead to a slew of periodontal problems, including attachment loss, pocket formation, and progressive bone loss. Clinicians must choose a way to eradicate the causal pathologic cause and obtain a favourable outcome from the different therapeutic alternatives available. A unique approach for the management of PGG is described in this case report. It is a trustworthy alternative that provides proper physiology, anatomy, and quality of life while delivering satisfactory results.

Abstract: Root canal therapy has enabled us to save numerous teeth over the years. Revitalizing a tooth with diseased pulp or nonvital tooth will be the most desired outcome of any endodontic treatment.Tissues are organized as three-dimensional structures, and appropriate scaffolding is necessary to provide a spatially correct position of cell location and regulate differentiation, proliferation, or metabolism of the stem cells. Extracellular matrix molecules control the differentiation of stem cells. Regeneration of different tissues are facilitated by different scaffolds. An appropriate scaffold selectively localizes, bind cells and contain growth factors. Scaffolds undergo biodegradation over time. Thorough and precise knowledge about the suitable scaffold for the required tissue is needed for successful regeneration. The current review presents how for dentin–pulp complex regeneration, the application of fibrin scaffolds could represent a promising approach.

Abstract: Aims and objectives There is a paucity of Indian studies on clinic-pathological profile and long-term relapse rates of Non-Hodgkin`s lymphoma (NHL). Hence this study was undertaken to assess the clinic-pathological profile & relapse rates in NHL. Methods All newly diagnosed patients of NHL from 2017 to 2019 were enrolled in the study. The data was collected prospectively after due IEC clearance. The patients were interviewed using predesignate standardized proforma fully vetted by medical education faculty. Clinical details of pallor, icterus, lymphadenopathy, bulky lymph nodal mass, hepatomegaly, or splenomegaly were examined. These patients underwent a hemogram and findings of peripheral blood smear were noted.

Abstract: Diverticulum of the lacrimal sac is a rare condition characterized by an outpouching of the lacrimal sac. It could be congenital, inflammatory or post-traumatic. Herein management of a case of a 13 year old boy who presented with 8 months history of swelling in the left lacrimal region associated with epiphora diagnosed as lacrimal sac diverticulum is reported. The need for careful evaluation of masses arising from the lacrimal region and consideration of rare conditions such as lacrimal sac diverticulum as a differential diagnosis is highlighted.

Abstract: Background: Inguinal hernia is defined as an abnormal protrusion of the contents of the abdominal cavity or preperitoneal fat through a defect in the inguinal area. The tissue-based techniques are still acceptable for primary inguinal hernia repair according to the European Hernia Society guidelines. In 2001, Desarda described a new method which is a tissue-based hernia repair using an undetached strip of external oblique aponeurosis to build up strength of the posterior wall of the inguinal canal. Objective: To compare the early clinical outcomes of the tissue-based Desarda Technique with Lichtenstein mesh-based repair. Methods: A total of 60 patients were randomly allocated into two groups i.e., Desarda and Lichtenstein.......
