Title | : | Bayesian Network Analysis: A New Approach to Diagnosis and Prognosis |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Alok Kumar |
Abstract: Malocclusion and dentofacial deformities are diseases with multifactorial etiology, where there is a complex interplay of the various etiologic factors resulting in the deformity or malocclusion. Bayesian network, an innovative statistical tool, provides us with a new approach to understand this complex problem. It is a graphical model that encodes probabilistic relationship among variables of interest. When used in combination with statistical technique this graphic model illustrates the causal relationship among different variables...............

Title | : | Proximal Femoral Nail: A Boon for Pertrochanteric and Subtrochanteric Fractures |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Harindra Himanshu || Mani Bhushan Prasad || Ajay Kumar Verma |
Abstract: Pertrochanteric fractures are of intense interest globally. Incidence has increased significantly during recent decades and this tendency will probably continue to rise in near future due to increased span of life. Before the introduction of suitable fixation devices, the treatment was predominantly conservative. This conservative approach has now fallen into disrepute because of the high complication rate, making operative management preferred treatment. The present study is undertaken to study the role of surgical management and assess its functional outcome in Pertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fracture............

Title | : | Seminoma: Unusual metastasis involving inguinal lymph node- Review of literature and a case report |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Abhishek Verma || Somya Sinha || Arun Kumar Verma |
Abstract: We report the case of inguinal Lymphadenopathy in a known and operated case of seminoma. While testicular tumour metastasise to retroperitoneal lymph nodes, metastasis to inguinal nodes is only possible when patient has previous history of testicular or scrotal surgeries. We review the literature to know the incidence of inguinal lymph node involvement in testicular malignancy and discuss possible routes along with metastases to this unusual site. During surgeries minimum handling of the testis and ligation of the spermatic cord up high up to the inguinal ring may reduce metastasis

Title | : | Invitro Changes in Microhardness of Nano Filled Resin Composites Due To Use of Mouth Rinses |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr.Abhay Kamra || Dr.Amol Zalwar || Dr.Gaurav Tated |
Abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect on micro hardness of nano filled resin composites as restorative material by the use of mouth rinses. Mouth rinses have gained the popularity in India due to increase dental awareness in recent years.The commercial advertisements have also helped to surge he use of different mouth rinses readily available in market. Similarly, nanofilled composite has been the material of choice for restorative purposes.Thus,this study was taken to evaluate effect of the three commercially available mouth rinses on micro hardness of nano filled resin composites. It was found that alcohol based mouth rinses reduce the microhardness of nanofilled composite to greater extent than the non alcohol based mouthrinses............

Title | : | Topical Corticosteroid Abuse in Dermatology |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Anup KMishra || Devesh Saraswat |
Abstract: Topical corticosteroids are the most widely used therapeutic agents in modern dermatologic therapy. The increasing frequency of use of topical steroids has led to the detection of a number of adverse effects and is dependent upon chemical nature of the drug, the vehicle, and the location of its application. The common adverse effects on face are erythema, telangiectasia, xerosis, photosensitivity and rebound phenomenon. The improper advertisement by manufacturers, availability of steroids without prescription, improper prescribing by doctors, has resulted in the rapid emergence of topical steroid abuse..............

Abstract: The present study is designed to investigate the disorders of swallowing and feeding in children and teenagers suffering from cerebral palsy (PC). These disorders can have vital consequences dependent on the pneumonia generated by the false roads. This descriptive study was undertaken on a sample of 65 child and teenager suffering from CP between 2 and 17 years old, in the North-West of Morocco. For that we used the Gross Motor function Classification System, Expanded and Revised (GMFCS- E & R) and a questionnaire of evaluation of the feeding and swallowing..............

Title | : | Stafne Bone Cyst- A Case Report |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Anuraag B. Choudhary || Trupti Chordia || Mayur B.Chaudhary || Shweta M. Chaudhary || Shailesh Kumbhare || Chaitanya Varangaonkar || Dnyaneshwar Punse |
Abstract: Stafne's cyst is often defined as static lesions located in the angle of the mandible. Defect ranges from 0.10% to 0.48%, with a male-to-female ratio of 4 to 1. Most of these painless lesions occur in the fifth and sixth decade of life. They are round or ovoid, and their sizes vary between 0.5 cm and 2.0 cm in diameter. This lesion is easily diagnosed from the radiographs as they appear at a typical site & shape and clearly distinguished from its surroundings. CT scans & MRI scans add as important tool in confirmation of these
lesions. Consequently many authors have proposed that there is no need for surgical treatment of these bony defects............

Title | : | A Numerical Approach to the Solution of Schrodinger Equation for Hydrogen-Like Atoms |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Maysoon A. Mahmood |
Abstract: A Numerical approach is used to find the energy levels and electron distribution for each subshell in Hydrogen like atoms. This approach used the built in ability of MATLAB to find Eigen values and Eigen ectors. The space around the nucleus is divided in three dimensions into a large number of elements. The wave function in each element, for a specific subshell,was foundto be the Eigen vector of the Hamiltonian operator matrix constructed for the discrete spatial elements. The square of the magnitude of the wave function is plotted in three dimensions to show the distribution of electron around the nucleus. The electron energy for that subshell
was found from the corresponding Eigen value.............
