Abstract: Introduction: Technical advances in automated cell separators have substantially improved the productivity and quality of the collection of apheresis platelets. Various studies on automated plateletpheresis have been conducted to investigate the quality of platelet concentrates and their relation to the biological contribution (platelet count and/or total mass) of the donor. Apheresis separates the blood into these components while the donor is still connected to the separation device. A rotating centrifuge or a rotating belt separates the donor's whole blood into its components based on density......

Abstract: Background: The need for fast, precise diagnostic tests to identify active tuberculosis is essential, mainly in endemic nations such as India. The TrueNat MTB Plus assay is a rapid molecular test that has been recommended by the World Health Organization since 2020 as an initial test to detect tuberculosis (TB). The WHO highlighted the need to further evaluate assay performance to inform future recommendations, including in people living with HIV. TrueNat MTB/RIF (rifampicin) is a novel method, which is battery operated, point-of-care and chip-based Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) micro device. The purpose of this study is to evaluate TrueNat as a screening test.....

Abstract: Introduction: Calcium is one of the crucial ions that has an immense role in maintainingbiological homeostasis. It's known that critical illness may trigger an acute phase response which may be associated with severe metabolic derangements including hypocalcemia. Various studies have shown that hypocalcemia is a common electrolyte imbalance in ICU patients and is associated withadverseprognosticoutcomes. APACHE- II score is commonly used to assess severity of critically ill patients but is cumbersome and involves multiple parameters of which calcium is not considered.....

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Many individuals around the world are at increased risk of severe clinical outcomes after SARS-CoV-2 infection due to underlying health conditions. Both diabetes and obesity are major risk factors for many non-communicable diseases. According to WHO information, COVID-19 Vaccines are safe, and getting vaccinated will help us to protect against developing severe COVID-19 disease and dying from COVID-19. So people may experience some mild side effects after getting vaccinated, which are signs that your body is building protection.(1) The aim of this study was to observe the acute side effects of vaccinated first line workers with diabetes and obesity in a tertiary care hospital.....

Abstract: Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), which is defined as diabetes diagnosed in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, has emerged as a global public health concern. It has been associated with short-term and long-term adverse health outcomes for both mothers and their newborns. Women with GDM are known to have decreased quality of life and increased risks of cesarean section, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, and type 2 diabetes. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus in Bangladesh. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology in Uttara Adhunik Medical College & Hospital.....

Abstract: Background: Foot ulcer is considered a very common but serious complication of DM. People with diabetes and people with peripheral vascular disease are more likely to develop foot ulcers. Fifteen percent of diabetic patients develop a foot ulcer sometime in their life. If an infection occurs in an ulcer and is not treated properly, it can develop into cellulitis, osteomyelitis, or gangrene that may require some part of the toe, foot or lower leg to be amputated. Aim of the study: This study aimed to assess the management and outcomes of foot ulcer patients with and without diabetes. Methods: This was a prospective observational study that was conducted in the Department of Surgery, Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, Rajshahi, Bangladesh, during the period from March 2012 to August 2012. In total 100 patients with.....

Abstract: L'améloblastome est une tumeur odontogène bénigne avec une incidence relativement élevée. Il se caractérise par une croissance lente mais persistante, une infiltration locale dans les tissus adjacents et des récidives, cependant, les métastases sont rares. Il y a peu de rapports de cas d'améloblastome récurrent après plus de 30 ans. Nous rapportons un cas d'améloblastome récurrent après 40 ans, et nous discutons les caractéristiques cliniques et le traitement sur la base d'une revue de la littérature. La récurrence tardive de l'améloblastome au sein des parties molles environnantes n'est pas fréquente, dans notre cas, la récidive était inhabituelle du fait que la lésion était située uniquement dans les tissus mous sans aucun lien apparent avec l'os mandibulaire ou le greffon iliaque. L'améloblastome doit faire l'objet d'un suivi à long terme, tout en tenant compte de son potentiel de récidive aussi bien au niveau de l'os que des parties molles.

Abstract: Background: The normal airway is one of the important factors for the normal growth of the craniofacial structures. Significant relationships between the pharyngeal structures and both dentofacial and craniofacial structures have been reported. The evaluation of the upper and lower airway space should be an integral part of diagnosis and treatment planning to achieve the functional balance and the stability of the result after orthodontic or orthognathic treatment. The aim of the study is to evaluate and compare upper and lower pharyngeal airway space in skeletal Class II malocclusions with different growth patterns......

Abstract: Background: Routine Papanicolaou (PAP) staining is a commonly employed cytological procedure, but procurement of stain's prime constituent ethanol is costly and method is time consuming too. On other hand rapid economic acetic acid papanicolaou (REAP) technique yields excellent nuclear and cytoplasmic staining, is cheaper and quicker procedure compared to routine PAP. Aims: Our aim was to assess the superiority of REAP over routine PAP and assessing its applicability. Methods and Material: The prospective cross sectional study was carried out on 70 patients in gynecology opd during period of 1year. Two smears from each patient were collected and stained by routine PAP and REAP stain separately......
