Abstract: Background: Diabetes is a group of chronic diseases, which is associated with long term complications with reduced quality of life and life expectancy. If the patients are aware about their illness, the risk of complications can be prevented. There is a felt need to identify the deficiency of knowledge about diabetes among the diabetic patients. Hence we have selected this study to evaluate the awareness about diabetes among the diabetic patients. Materials and methods: A cross sectional study was introduced randomly to the diabetic patients attending the tertiary care hospitals in Coimbatore. A total of 100 Type II diabetic patients were included in the study. Using a well organized questionnaire, participants......

Abstract: Background: Acute hepatitis is defined as active hepatocellular damage and necrosis, usually with a lobular inflammatory response, less than 6 months duration clinically evident by significant elevation (at least 2.5 x upper normal reference range) of serum ALT or AST. Acute hepatitis may be due to infections likeviral, bacterial; metabolic like alcoholic hepatitis, toxin and drug induced hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; autoimmune like post liver transplant, measles, primary sclerosing cholangitis etc.; genetic causes like alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency, hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease etc. Viral hepatitis is the most common cause of acute hepatitis. Majority is due to hepatitis A and hepatitis.......

Abstract: Background: Early diagnosis and surgical management have reduced breast cancer mortality worldwide, including in Bangladesh. However, the negative impact of mastectomy on quality of life and lifestyle is still unaddressed. Thus, this study attempted to evaluate the body image, sexual function, and sexual satisfaction of breast cancer survivors after mastectomy. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in three distinct hospitals, the National Institute of Cancer Research and Hospital, Ahsania Mission Cancer Hospital, and United Hospital, situated in Dhaka, Capital of Bangladesh. A total of 163 breast cancer patients with a history of mastectomy were included in this study. Informed written consent was ensured before participation.....

Abstract: Smile design is the collective scientific and artistic principles that can create a beautiful smile. These principles are designed through data collected from patients, diagnostic models, dental research, scientific measurements, and basic artistic concepts of beauty. From patient's point of view beauty measures that individual's perception of beauty as noted in the saying: ''Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.'' These may be influenced by cultural, ethnic, or racial concepts of beauty.Esthetics has become one of the most important outcomes of dental treatments. Regardless of the complexity of the case, patients are seeking better-looking smiles. Smile, a person's ability to express a range of emotions with the structure and movement of the teeth and lips, can often determine how well a person can function in society....

Abstract: Regenerative endodontics is the creation and delivery of tissues to replace diseased, missing, and traumatized pulp. This review provides an overview of regenerative endodontics and its goals, and describes possible techniques that will allow regenerative endodontics to become a reality. These potential approaches include root-canal revascularization, postnatal (adult) stem cell therapy, pulp implant, scaffold implant, three-dimensional cell printing, injectable scaffolds, and gene therapy. These regenerative endodontic techniques will possibly involve some combination of disinfection or debridement of infected root canal systems with apical enlargement to permit revascularization......

Abstract: Background: In clinical practice, anesthesiologists face unexpected challenges with tracheal intubation. Preoxygenation is essential for all patients before general anesthesia induction to help with such unanticipated problems. (A.S.A.) on difficult airways, the algorithm did not mention pre-oxygenation. Despite this, the A.S.A Task Force on Difficult Airway Management (2003) recommends facemask pre-oxygenation before induction as a prerequisite. Materials and Methods: Study Design: A tertiary care hospital-based Prospective, Randomized double-blind Controlled study.StudySubject:.75ASAI and 2 physical status patients posted for elective surgeries, of age GROUP of 20- 50 years. Study Setting......

Abstract: Background: Regenerative Endodontic Procedure (REP) is a 'paradigm shift' in the treatment of non-vital immature permanent teeth and being used recently in non-vital mature permanent teeth also. However, it's use is yet to be evaluated for management of RCT failure cases with apical periodontitis. Aim: Evaluation of REP in failed RCT cases with persistent periapical pathology using Blood Clot, PRF and PRP as scaffolds. Method: Teeth were randomly divided into control i.e Re-RCT group (n=10) and three experimental groups with blood clot (n=11), PRF (n=13) and PRP (n=9) as scaffolds. After properly removing the gutta percha, cleaning, shaping and irrigation, obturation......

Abstract: Background: Airway control during general anaesthesia is provided by laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubationLaryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation lead to mechanical and chemical stimuli. Mechanical stimulus causes reflex responses in cardiovascular and respiratory systems. That response reaches its maximum level within 1 min and ends in 5-10 min after endotracheal intubationOn the other hand, chemical stimulus results with catecholamine release via increase in sympatho-adrenergic activity. Catecholamine release leads to hypertension, tachycardia and arrhythmia. Tachycardia generates a more powerful load on the heart when compared with hypertension as it increases oxygen consumption of the myocardium, decreases diastolic filling and finally reduces coronary blood supply. Which can be deleterious to the patient the aim of our study was to compare effects of iv fentanyl with dexmedetomidine in attenuating the pressor response during laryngoscopy and intubation......
