Abstract: Background: Literature studies reveal that approximately half of the patients with bipolar disorder (BD) have experience d at least one episode with psychotic symptoms (PS), particularly during the manic phase. The presence of these symptoms has been associated with greater severity of the illness in terms of suicide attempts, frequent relapses, longer hospitalizations, and functional impairment between mood episodes. In addition to these findings, some studies have noted that a significant nu.......

Abstract: Background: The covid 19 pandemic led to the shutdown of educational institutions globally. School shut down has forced a change in the whole education system. The students have experienced several challenges, including increased stress and anxiety leading to mental health degradation. Many studies reported flaring up irritability and anger issues in students. Emotional intelligence and empathy are potent dimensions of an educational system that caters to developing coping skills to cope with life's various pressures and demands. Social-Emotional Learning is one......

Abstract: Background: The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious disease . It continues to spread rapidly and causes serious morbidity and mortality in the patients. Circulating biomarkers that can evaluate inflammation and immune status, can be potentially useful in diagnosis and prognosis of COVID-19 patients. Therefore, in the present study , we assessed the potential of the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as an indicator of severity in severe versus nonsevere COVID-19 cases.

Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Among women, the three most common cancers are those of the breast, the lung and the bronchus. Breast cancer alone is responsible for 32% of the cancer burden in women. Detailed history, clinical examination, and relevant cytopathological investigations can detect breast cancer at an early stage and reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with the disease. Surgical interventions on most patients can prolong life expectancy. AIM: - the aim is to study the following: - 1. To study various risk factors like Age, Family..........

Abstract: Background : Typhoid is a multi-systemic bacterial illness caused by Salmonella species, mainly by ingestion of the organism by ingestion of contaminated food or water is responsible for entry of the organism into the human body, manifesting typically as step wise increasing, high grade fever, vomiting, abdominal pain. Delay in diagnosis and treatment, can lead to severe complications including death. Ceftriaxone, Cefixime and azithromycin are mainstay of treatment. However, multidrug resistant S. Typhi (MDRST) strains are emerging, hence public health interventions shall help for the prevention of enteric fever in children. Aims & Objectives: To describe.......

Abstract: Maxillary sinus pneumatization is a normal physiological mechanism during development aiding in the increase of the sinus volume (1). Alveolar bone resorption happens as a defect in the horizontal and vertical dimension of the bone (2). Apart from the normal sequence resorption of bone, posterior maxillary teeth when extracted have also intra sinus resorption due to the downward expansion of the maxillary sinus (3). The absence of bone is believed to be due an outcome of two processes. The first is the resorption of the maxillary alveolus (4) and the second is the maxillary sinus pneumatization (3). Thus, the process of restoring the edentulous posterior maxilla with an implant supported prosthesis could be very challenging. It has been proclaimed that Alveolar Ridge Preservation (ARP) helps......

Abstract:Coronary artery disease(CAD) occurs due to an impairment in cardiac function because of inadequate blood flow to the heart compared to its needs.It is caused by obstructive changes in the coronary circulation.It presents with angina pectoris,myocardial infarction,arrthythmias,heart failure and sudden death[1,12]. CAD should be considered an important public health problem due to changing lifestyles and an interplay of factors with regards to their existence,casualty and attributes[2,8,10].It is a leading cause of death in India.The number of deaths due to.....

Abstract: Background: Several methods were described in the literature to enhance the aesthetic aspect of teeth. Among them, the bleaching procedure is the more conservative one for changing the colour of teeth. Most tooth-bleaching procedures utilize hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide as a bleaching agent. As dental whitening has become more accessible, many patients choose this remedy for aesthetic reasons. Objective: This in-vitro study aims to compare and evaluate the effect of bleaching with 16% carbamide peroxide and 35% hydrogen......

Abstract: Background: The root canal system has a complex anatomy with areas that cannot be touched mechanically by endodontic instruments, such as isthmuses, fins and recesses in oval-shaped canals.1 Irrigants have a central role in endodontic treatment. There is no data exist in the literature comparing the ChloroQuick High and 0.2 % Chitosan nanoparticles activated by passive ultrasonic irrigation technique. Hence the aim of this study is to compare debris removal by ChloroQuick High and 0.2% Chitosan nanoparticle irrigating solutions activated by passive ultrasonic irrigation.......
