Role of Oral Veillonella Species in Predicting Surgical Site Infections After Maxillofacial Trauma: A Prospective Observational Study.

Introduction: There are comparatively fewer surgical site infections after craniofacial trauma than after trauma to the extremities, and the etiology is complex. Gram-negative facultative anaerobic bacteria is a common commensal in the oral cavity and has been linked to osteomyelitis and surgical site infections in prosthetic joint infections. They serve as early biological indicators.

Dacryocystitis Secondary to Orbital Mesh Implant Impingement: A Rare Etiology.

A 22-year-old male patient reported swelling in relation to the right eye and developed recurrent purulent discharge and epiphora following a reconstructive traumatic orbital floor fracture repair two years ago. Radiographic investigation and surgical exploration reveal obstruction of the lacrimal apparatus at the lacrimal sac level due to over-extension/migration of the orbital floor mesh. The migration of the mesh was probably due to the extension of the mesh medially into the paranasal region.

Mollification of Doxorubicin (DOX)-Mediated Cardiotoxicity Using Conjugated Chitosan Nanoparticles with Supplementation of Propionic Acid.

Doxorubicin is an extensively prescribed antineoplastic agent. It is also known for adverse effects, among which cardiotoxicity tops the list. The possible mechanism underlying doxorubicin (DOX)-mediated cardiotoxicity has been investigated in this study.

Reliability of Modified Hertels Exophthalmometer as an Intraoperative Tool for Assessment of Relative Globe Position in Orbital/Zygomatic Fracture.

Introduction: Axial globe position assessment is commonly carried out with Hertels Exophthalmometer. Hertels requires an intact lateral orbital rim for its placement, which is often fractured in zygomatic fractures. Hence, to overcome this problem, we have modified the instrument for its application in zygomatic/orbital fractures.

Effect of Heartfulness Meditation on Anxiety and Perceived Pain in Patients Undergoing Impacted Third Molar Surgery.

Purpose: Oral-maxillofacial surgical procedures like impacted third molar surgery (ITMS) may lead to increased perioperative anxiety and pain perception in patients. Psychological interventions like meditation have been shown to decrease acute anxiety levels in individuals. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of heartfulness (HFN) meditation during ITMS.

improves reproductive parameters in alloxan-induced male diabetic rats.

Male reproductive dysfunction is one of the common complications of diabetes mellitus that causes infertility. This study was designed to investigate the protective effect of () extracts on diabetes mediated reproductive toxicity in male Wistar rats. The induction of diabetes was performed using a single intraperitoneal injection of alloxan (120 mg/kg).

Antidiabetic and hypolipidemic efficacy of skin and seed extracts of Momordica cymbalaria on alloxan induced diabetic model in rats.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Momordica cymbalaria, a wild vegetable belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family, has long been used as a food and a remedy for diabetes mellitus in the Asian native medicinal system.

Aim Of The Study: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of ethanolic extract of skin (EESK) and methanolic extract of seed (MESE) of M. cymbalaria (MC), for their hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects in alloxan induced diabetic rats.

Solitary angiokeratoma of tongue: A case report and review of the literature.

Angiokeratoma is a benign cutaneous lesion of capillaries. It is characterized by large dilated blood vessels in the superficial dermis and hyperkeratosis of extremities. It is mostly seen in generalized form affecting the extremity of the body, but we report this case of solitary angiokeratoma of the tongue which is a very rare type.

Squalene is a potential endocrine modulator in rat: A proof-of-principle study with 3-methylcholanthrene-induced toxicity.

Oestrus urine was proved as a potential endocrine modulator in alleviating the toxicity induced by 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) in male rats. We, in this study, aimed to prove the attributing potential of toxicity alleviation to squalene, an oestrus-specific pheromone in rats. A single dose of 3-methylcholanthrene (25 mg/kg BW, i.
