Attachment Wear in Different Clear Aligner Therapy: A Comparative Study.

Background: Because of its ease and visual attractiveness, clear aligner therapy has grown in popularity as an orthodontic treatment option. On the other hand, the results of therapy may be impacted by attachment wear. Comparing attachment wear in three distinct clear aligner systems-System A, System B, and System C-was the goal of this investigation.

Evaluation of Prevention of Initial Enamel Lesions around Orthodontic Brackets by Using Different Remineralizing Agents: An Original Research.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of various remineralizing agents in stopping the early enamel lesions surrounding orthodontic brackets from progressing.

Techniques: Four groups were randomly allocated to a total of 100 participants: the control group (no treatment), calcium phosphate, casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), and fluoride varnish. Remineralizing chemicals were administered in accordance with manufacturer recommendations, and enamel lesions were created around orthodontic brackets.

Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in different trophic levels of aquatic ecosystems with fish as a bioindicator in Visakhapatnam, India.

The concentration of 23 metals was analyzed in the tissue of nine fish species, which represents the different habitats, i.e., primary feeder, tertiary feeder, and bottom feeder in fresh and marine waters of Visakhapatnam.

Baseline assessment of water quality and ecological indicators in Penaeus vannamei farm wastewater along the Southeast coast of India.

The present study aimed to investigate the water quality characteristics and the ecological indicators of wastewater of white legged shrimp Penaeus vannamei ponds along the Southeast coast of India. The wastewater samples were collected from 15 shrimp farms covering 11 districts located along the coastal line of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, India. By adopting standard methods, the collected samples were subjected to analyses of physico-chemical and biological characteristics, especially the microbial load and metal and plankton composition.

Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in different organs of Labeo rohita, Pangasius hypophthalmus, and Katsuwonus pelamis from Visakhapatnam, India.

The bioaccumulation of heavy metals (Zn, Pb, Cd, Co, Cu, and Fe) in fish tissues was determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (spectra 220) and Mercury (Hg) content was estimated by using a mercury analyzer. Various organs (eye, gill, gut, gonad, liver, skin, and muscle) of three fish species, i.e.

Bortezomib in newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma: A retrospective analysis from a tertiary care center in India.

Introduction: Bortezomib is a novel proteasome inhibitor in myeloma. There is a paucity of data from India regarding the efficacy and tolerance to bortezomib.

Materials And Methods: All patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma from January 2008 to December 2011 treated with bortezomib as the first-line therapy were studied in a retrospective analysis.

Ameliorating effect of piperine on behavioral abnormalities and oxidative markers in sodium valproate induced autism in BALB/C mice.

Post natal exposure to VPA (valproic acid) in mice induces behavioral deficits, abnormal sensitivity to sensory stimuli and self-injurious behavior, observed in autism. Piperine has been reported to have protective effect on brain. The present study aimed at evaluating effect of piperine on VPA induced neurobehavioral and biochemical alterations in BALB/c mice.
