Milk miRNA expression in buffaloes as a potential biomarker for mastitis.

Background: Buffaloes have the highest potential for production due to a promising gene pool that is being enhanced and upgraded. Mastitis is a significant health impediment that greatly diminishes milk yield and quality, affecting rural farmers' livelihoods. The traditional gold standard used for diagnosing mastitis or subclinical mastitis is CMT, but it has the drawback of false positive or negative results.

Tumor Microenvironment in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Special Stains and Scanning Electron Microscopic Study.

Background: Effect of the oral cancerous epithelial cells on the extracellular matrix (ECM) and vice versa is also responsible for the growth and progression of cancer. The effect of inflammation on the stroma and its association with progression has also been stated in literature.

Materials And Methods: The control group consisted of 10 patients with apparently normal mucosa with no history of habits, the study group consisted of 30 patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) confirmed by examination and incisional biopsy.

Quantification of Oral Candidal Carriage Rate and Prevalence of Oral Candidal Species in HIV Patients with and Without Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy.

Background: Most documents review decrease in the prevalence of HIV related oral lesions to the tune of 10-50% following the advent of HAART. However long term use of HAART on oral health status of HIV infected subjects is poorly documented. Also antifungal agents can effectively treat mucosal candidiasis.

COVID-19: Implications on dental profession and precautionary guidelines.

The current global spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its associated coronavirus disease (COVID-19), has grasped the attention of entire international community and has caused widespread public health concerns.

COVID-19 is a zoonotic infection that, like other coronavirus infections, is believed to have been originated in bats and pangolins, and later transmitted to humans.

Evaluation of Ki-67 Expression in Oral Submucous Fibrosis and Its Correlation with Clinical and Histopathological Features.

Objectives: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a potentially malignant disorder. Although it shows atrophic epithelium, it has a high proliferative capacity. Therefore, this study correlates the Ki-67.
