Abstract: Blepharophimosis syndrome (BPES) is a congenital eyelid malformation characterized by severe bilateral ptosis, telecanthus, and epicanthus inversus. We present a case report of two siblings, a 9-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl, diagnosed with BPES. Clinical examination revealed classic features of the syndrome including bilateral ptosis, telecanthus, and epicanthus inversus. Both children exhibited compensatory postures to cope with visual impairment. BPES follows an autosomal......

Abstract: B-scan ultrasonography (USG) is a simple, non-invasive tool for diagnosing lesions of the posterior segment of the eyeball. Common conditions such as vitreous degeneration, retinal detachment, ocular trauma, choroidal melanoma, and retinoblastoma canbe accurately evaluated with this modality. B-scan USG is cost-effective, which is an important consideration in the rural setting. In addition, it is non- invasive and easily available and the results are reproducible.

Abstract: Background: Crestal bone change is an important factor to determine the success of implant treatment. Various factors including vertical soft tissue thickness around dental implant play vital role in early crestal bone loss. Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different soft tissue biotypes on crestal bone changes around dental implants. Materials and Method: A total 30 units of implants were included in study and assigned to two group, 15 in group A (thick soft tissue biotype, >2mm) and 15 in group B (thin soft tissue biotype, ≤ 2mm). 27 units of implant were followed up for 12 months of period and crestal bone loss......

Abstract: Neck pain refers to a pain experienced anywhere from the base of the skull at ear level to the upper part of the back or shoulders. Persisting neck pain is common in society. Neck pain may arise from any of the innervated structures in the neck such as intervertebral discs, muscles, ligaments; facet joint and dura or nerve roots .However in the majority of cases, the pathophysiological mechanism underlying neck pain are unclear. Prolonged use of computer during daily work activities and recreation is often cited as a common cause of neck pain .There is increase.....
