Abstract: Objective: To evaluate effects of septoplasty[SP] and nasal turbinectomy[NT] on olfaction. Design: A prospective randomized controlled study of olfaction in 40 patientsof Anatomic nasal obstruction [ANO] divided into 20 patients with Deviated septum[DS] where septoplasty has been performed and a control group of 20 patients with nasal hypertrophic turbinates where NT has been performed. All the patients underwent pre-operative and post-operative assessment with a questionnaire[Q] and UPSIT. Results:In20 patients with septoplasty, 7 patients showed worsened sensation of smell by Q and there was a decrease in the mean scores of smell test. The difference was significant (P < 0.01). In 20 patients with NT showed no change or improved in sensation of smell.The difference was insignificant (P=0.4)by objective analysis.Conclusion:septoplasty may lead to detectable adverse effect on olfaction..

Abstract: Background:Sepsis contributes to 17-20% of neonatal deaths.Biomarkers are needed for early diagnosis of sepsis, monitoring response to treatment and predicting outcome.Serum ferritin is one such potential biomarker. This study was planned to evaluate serum ferritin as a diagnostic and prognostic marker of neonatal sepsis. Materials and Methods: After obtaining written informed consent of parent/guardians, neonates admitted in intensive care units were enrolled and divided into three groups:Group I had 20 neonates without sepsis,Group II had 40 septic neonates without Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS),GroupIII had 17 septic neonates with MODS.The criteria......

Abstract: Background: C-shaped root canal systems, common anatomic variation of mandibular permanent second molar is threat to endodontic treatment. Aims: The aim is to discuss the etiology, incidence, anatomic features, classification of the C-shaped canal configuration. C-shaped canal configuration is a variation that has a racial predilection and is commonly seen in mandibular second molars. The intricacies present in this variation of canal morphology can pose a challenge to the clinician during negotiation, debridement and obturation. Knowledge of the C-shaped canal configuration is essential to achieve success in endodontic therapy. Methods & materials: Radiographic and clinical diagnosis aid in identification and negotiation of the fan-shaped areas and intricacies of the C-shaped anatomy....

Abstract: For a comprehensive dental treatment the interdisciplinary approach has been a trend. Within modern dentistry, periodontics & prosthodontics share an intimate and inseparable relationship in multiple aspects, including treatment plan, procedures execution, outcome achievement and maintenance. By controlling inflammation and preparing sites for proper prosthetic prostheses, periodontists no doubt can provide a solid foundation for successful prosthetic outcomes. On the other hand, prosthodontists could construct proper restorative margin, shapes and contacts that benefit the harmony of periodontium & prosthesis.

Abstract: Résumé Introduction La glande parotide est le siège préférentiel des tumeurs des glandes salivaires. Ces tumeurs sont rares mais se distinguent par une grande diversité histologique, posant ainsi des difficultés diagnostiques. L´imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM) constitue actuellement le moyen d´imagerie le plus fiable dans l´exploration de ces tumeurs. Le but de notre étude était de préciser la valeur diagnostique de l'IRM et son rôle dans l'approche histo-pathologique de ces tumeurs.......

Abstract: Halitosis is an oral health condition characterized by persistent bad breath. As many as 85% of the incidence of halitosis is caused by microbial decay in the oral cavity. This decay produces volatile sulfur compounds (VSC), the main cause of halitosis. One of the factors that cause halitosis is reduced salivary flow rate. Reduction of salivary flow rate is one of the complications of the oral cavity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus which can cause dry mouth and a decrease in the pH of the oral cavity. The purpose of this study was to analyze the value of VSC, flow rate, pH, and saliva buffer, and to analyze the relationship between blood sugar levels and acetone levels, flow rate, pH, and saliva buffer. This research is an observational analytic study using a cross-sectional research design...

Abstract: Background:Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and it typically affects the lungs but it can affect other organs as well. It has existed for millennia and still continues to be a major global public health problem. Worldwide, TB is the 13th leading cause of death and the second leading infectious killer after COVID-19 (above HIV/AIDS). As per WHO, in 2020, an estimated 10 million people fell ill with tuberculosis worldwide. 5.6 million men, 3.3 million women and 1.1 million children. The ability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to maintain persistent chronic infection is critically linked to its capacity to use host cholesterol. Multiple abnormalities in lipid metabolism have been reported in TB infected patients. It has been observed that cholesterol depletion has....

Abstract: The WHO declared COVID-19 as pandemic on 11 March, 2020 with more than 550 million positive cases and 6.3 million deaths till July 20221. Gastrointestinal symptoms are not uncommon in this disease2. The overall mortality was 1.4% and for those with severe disease the mortality was 22.4%. Endoscopy is an aerosol generating procedure3, positive insufflation during endoscopic procedures poses a risk of generating aerosol and increase the risk of SARS-COV-2 transmission. It has been confirmed that COVID-19 can be found in the oral cavity and faecal samples of infectedindividuals2.......

Abstract: Les kystes spléniques sont des tumeurs rares, classés en kystes parasitaires et non parasitaires, les non parasitaires sont en outre classés en kystes primaires (épithéliaux/vrais) et secondaires (faux/pseudo) en fonction de la muqueuse du kyste, leur diagnostic est orienté par l'imagerie, en particulier l'échographie et le scanner, mais la certitude diagnostique est obtenue par l'examen anatomopathologique de la pièce. [1] Unkyste mésothelial de la rate est une lésionépithélialeprimitive, non-parasitaire, généralement bénigne, de type rareet souvent de découverte fortuite, soit à l'imagerie, soit lors de l'examen clinique d'une douleur abdominale. Les kystes spléniques symptomatiques et compliqués sont traités chirurgicalement. La splénectomie totale, qui était traditionnellement la procédure de choix, a récemment été remplacée par des approches plus conservatrices
