Serological immune biomarker for disease severity in dengue-infected pediatric hospitalized patients.

Clinical manifestation of dengue disease ranges from asymptomatic, febrile fever without warning sign (DOS) to serious outcome dengue with warning sign (DWS) and severe disease (SD) leading to shock syndrome and death. The role of antibody response in natural dengue infection is complex and not completely understood. Here, we aimed to assess serological marker for disease severity.

Effect of various malocclusion on maximal bite force- a systematic review.

Objective: This systematic review evaluates the variation in molar bite force (MBF) with the type and severity of dental malocclusion in young adults with permanent dentition.

Methods: We searched seven electronic databases until December 31, 2021, and identified 1898 articles, of which 22 full-texts were reviewed. Eight clinical studies with subjects having permanent dentition with various dental malocclusions and quantifying maximal bite force were included for the review.

Evaluation of masseter muscle hypertrophy in oral submucous fibrosis patients -an ultrasonographic study.

Background: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a chronic insidious disease of the oral mucosa, commonly seen in South East Asia. It occurs mainly due to the habit of quid or gutkha chewing. There is a clear dose dependent relationship between gutkha chewing and development of OSMF, also due to continuous chewing for larger intervals of time unnecessary forces are exerted on the muscles mainly the masseter muscle.

Hemifacial Hyperplasia: A Case Report.

Hemifacial hyperplasia is a rare developmental anomaly exhibiting asymmetric growth of one or more body parts. It is characterized by hyperplasia of tissues rather than a hypertrophy, so it is better to call it hyperplasia rather than hypertrophy. Hemifacial hyperplasia may be associated with deformities of the skeletal system, including macrodactyly, polydactyly, syndactyly, scoliosis, tilting of the pelvis, and clubfoot.

Kocher debre semelaigne syndrome: a rare case report with orofacial manifestations.

Kocher Debre Semelaigne Syndrome is a rare syndrome with clinical manifestation of hypothyroidism associated with pseudomuscular hypertrophy. Very few cases have been reported on kocher-debre semelaigne syndrome in the literature with the incidence reported to be less than 10%. As per our knowledge; until now, only one case of oro-facial manifestations has been reported.
