Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare, low to intermediate-grade soft tissue sarcoma that presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report the case of a 40-year-old male patient who presented with a slow-growing, asymptomatic lesion on his forehead that had developed over two years. Clinical examination revealed a firm, non-tender multinodular mass measuring 5 x 3 cm in the supraorbital region.

Aims: The aim of this study was to clinically and radiographically evaluate and compare immediate implants placed with and without PRF.
Settings And Design: This prospective and comparative study was conducted among 30 patients in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Govt.
This systematic review aimed to explore the efficacy of both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions in managing hypertension during pregnancy. It analyzed high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs), focusing on outcomes related to maternal and fetal health. The findings demonstrated that antihypertensive medications, particularly labetalol and nifedipine, effectively reduced the risks of severe preeclampsia (PE), preterm birth, and other complications.

The current study evaluated the antibacterial potential of aqueous, methanol, ethanol, and acetone extracts of Malus domestica (apple), Cinnamomum verum (cinnamon) and Trachyspermum ammi (ajwain) via agar well diffusion methods and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in (mm) against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) and Salmonella typhi (ATCC 19430). The antioxidant properties including total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), DPPH and reducing power was determined by UV/VIS spectrophotometery and all the results interpreted through one way ANOVA (STATISTICA).
