Abstract: Background: Various skeletal malocclusions in sagittal plane have been related to the position of glenoid fossa in anterioposterior dimension. Different dental and skeletal abnormalities interact with each other to cause different malocclusions of various areas of the dentofacial region.A posteriorly or anteriorly placed glenoid fossa may predispose the mandible to be placed in the distal or mesial position, thus increasing the tendency towards a Class II or Class III skeletal malocclusion. This study is conducted to compare the glenoid fossa position in subjects presenting....

Abstract: A 53 year old gentleman presented with progressive breathlessness and abdominal pain for 2 weeks. Examination revealed pallor, increased respiratory rate and left supraclavicular lymphadenopathy. There was decreased air entry in bilateral lower zones and it was stony dull on percussion. Routine blood investigations were within normal limits. CXR revealed bilateral pleural effusion following which thoracentesis was done. Pleural fluid was milky white in color with triglyceride >500mg/dl. Pleural fluid analysis suggested a possible malignant etiology in the absence of significant trauma. CT chest and abdomen were suggested for further evaluation, which showed bulky mediastinal nodes, multiple para aortic, celiac and mesenteric group of lymph nodes. PET CT revealed multifocal lymphadenopathy with splenic lesion. Biopsy of left supraclavicular node confirmed follicular lymphoma. A final diagnosis of bilateral chylothorax with follicular lymphoma was made.

Abstract: Background: The purpose of present study was to compare the reinforcing effect of the glass, polyethylene and carbon fibers on mechanical characteristics such as flexural strength, fracture toughness and abrasive resistance of restorative acrylic resins; PMMA (Travelon) and PMMA (DPI). Materials and Methods: A total of 240 rectangular specimens (10 each from 24 groups) were fabricated and tested for flexural strength, fracture toughness and abrasive resistance. The unreinforced group served as the control. Results: The data pertaining to flexural strengths, fracture toughness and abrasive resistance were compared by one way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc test, using a significance level of 0.05. The flexural strength of specimens of PMMA (Travelon)..

Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Heart failure is a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide and a public health problem. Iron deficiency is one of the most frequent co-morbidities in patients with heart failure. Iron deficiency is a strong independent predictor of heart failure outcomes. It is associated with reduced exercise capacity and reduced quality of life and is an independent predictor of worse functional capacity and survival. Within a heart failure population iron deficiency is associated with worse prognosis. METHODS: A hospital based cross sectional study was conducted at tertiary care hospital, Assam for a duration of one year. A total of 90 subjects above 13 years of age who were symptomatic heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction<40% were taken.....

Abstract: Introduction- Ruptured tendoachilles along with skin defect is a complex problem to reconstruct. Both things require a priority. Single stage reconstruction of ruptured tendoachilles tendon with skin cover using flap allows us to perform both. This procedure gives excellent result, shortens the stay, thereby reducing the cost. This method is a simple solution to the complex problem like ruptured tendoachilles with skin defect. Material and method- In this study, 30 patients with rupture of tendoachilles tendon due to penetrating injury, with skin defect are presented. The repair was done using aponeurotic part of tendoachilles tendon, taken from proximal part of tendoachilles in the midline measuring around 2 to 2.5 cm in width and desired length, with intact distal attachment. The......

Abstract: Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD is one of the most common heart diseaseswhich happens when coronary arteries struggle to supply the heart with enough blood, oxygen and nutrients. CAD is usually caused by plaque buildup in the wall of the arteries that supply blood to the heart. In Bangladesh, we have very limited research-based data regarding the socio-demographic and clinical status of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Aim of the study:The aim ofthis study was to assessthe socio-demographic and clinical status of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Cardiology, Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical College, Bogura, Bangladesh during the period from January 2021 to December 2021. In total 100confirmed coronary.....

Abstract: Background: .Head and neck cancer in India is a major public health problem. The management usually include surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Selection of treatment mainly depends on tumour site, size, and histologic features, as well as depth of invasion, stage, previous treatment, need for reconstructive surgery, impact on quality of life (QOL) and patient preferences. Irradiation causes both quantitative and qualitative change in salivary gland function and saliva. At present, advanced techniques like intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) focus on sparing the major salivary glands from the line of radiation and thus reducing the incidence of xerostomia.......
