Assessment of Chronic Malnutrition and Its Correlation With Oral Health Status in Children Aged Three to Six Years in Jabalpur District, India: An Epidemiological Study.

Objective: This study aims to examine the correlation of chronic malnutrition with the oral health status of children aged three to six years.

Methods: A total of 400 children were selected and divided into four groups based on z-scores. For evaluation of oral health status, teeth were examined for dental caries using the decayed, missing, and filled permanent teeth (DMFT) scores.

Coke oven wastewater treatment using polymeric and ceramic membranes.

This research is aimed to investigate the efficacy of membrane separation technology in treating coke oven wastewater (COW). A comparative study was conducted using three types of membranes: commercial polymeric (CP) membrane, commercial ceramic (CC) membrane, and synthesized ceramic (SC) membrane. The potential of the SC membrane in COW treatment was assessed in comparison to the CC membrane, which had a molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) of 1 Kilo-Dalton.

Group tele-rehabilitation improves quality of life among subjects with Parkinson's disease: A two arm non-parallel non-randomized clinical trial.

Introduction: Tele-rehabilitation has lately emerged as a promising medium for increasing patient adherence with significant positive results. One of the most prevalent neurological diseases affecting movement is Parkinson's disease (PD), which causes a variety of motor and non-motor symptoms among patients. Consequentially, the study was designed to compare the efficacy of group tele-rehabilitation with individual tele-rehabilitation in improving quality of life (QoL) among subjects with PD.

Uncovering a Novel Site of Ewing's Sarcoma: the Hypopharynx.

Ewing's sarcoma is usually seen in bones but 20-30% are found in extra skeletal soft tissues like in head and neck region. We present the case of Ewing sarcoma of hypopharynx in a 1 year old child who presented to us with acute respiratory distress. Child was intubated using videolaryngoscope and mass was removed using microdebrider.

Effectiveness of facial palsy protocol among patient with mucormycosis following COVID-19: A case study.

A 41-year-old male with a history of diabetes mellitus presented with right facial palsy post COVID-19 Associated Mucormycosis. A 4-week physiotherapeutic intervention; ice therapy, Mime therapy, Facial Soft Tissue Manipulation, and Facial Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Stimulation, showed improvement in the symptoms of patient and scores of House- Brackman Facial Grading Scale.

Quantum dot decorated polyaniline plastic as a multifunctional nanocomposite: experimental and theoretical approach.

AgO, CoO, and ZnO (ACZ) mixed metal quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized by the sol-gel process. Polyaniline (PANI) was prepared by the chemical-oxidative technique. An approach was used for the synthesis of ACZ decorated PANI plastic nanocomposites (NCs).

Genome-wide profiling of drought-tolerant Arabidopsis plants over-expressing chickpea MT1 gene reveals transcription factors implicated in stress modulation.

Drought, a major abiotic limiting factor, could be modulated with in-built reprogramming of plants at molecular level by regulating the activity of plant developmental processes, stress endurance and adaptation. The transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana over-expressing metallothionein 1 (MT1) gene of desi chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) was subjected to transcriptome analysis.

microRNA 166: an evolutionarily conserved stress biomarker in land plants targeting HD-ZIP family.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are significant class of noncoding RNAs having analytical investigating and modulatory roles in various signaling mechanisms in plants related to growth, development and environmental stress. Conserved miRNAs are an affirmation of land plants evolution and adaptation. They are a proof of indispensable roles of endogenous gene modulators that mediate plant survival on land.

Spreader Graft Placement: An Effective Procedure for Alleviation of Internal Nasal Valve Collapse.

Purpose: The internal nasal valve (INV) is one of the most commonly involved areas in patients with nasal obstruction, and surgeries such as turbinate reduction and septal recontouring affect the physiology of the nasal valve area. With this concept, a cohort study was conducted to evaluate spreader graft's effectiveness in recontouring INV and relieving nasal obstruction.

Materials And Methods: A prospective cohort study was performed, including patients with nasal obstruction with INV involvement.

An overview on miRNA-encoded peptides in plant biology research.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short (21-23 nt) regulatory RNA molecules present in plants and animals which are known for regulating the mRNA target gene expression either by cleavage or translational repression. With the advancements in miRNAs research in plants towards their biogenesis and applications has directed the recent discovery of pri-miRNAs encoding functional peptides or microRNA peptides (miPEPs). These miPEPs are encoded by 5' of pri-miRs containing short ORFs (miORFs).

An assessment of anti-citrullinated protein antibody in systemically healthy individuals with or without chronic periodontitis: A case-control study.

Background: Periodontitis has been implicated as a risk factor for rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Aim: This study aimed to assess the relationship between RA and chronic periodontitis (CP) by evaluating the serum levels of the anti citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) which is a marker of RA in systemically healthy individuals with and without CP.

Materials And Methods: This case-control study enrolled 40 systemically healthy individuals.

Swelling in the Floor of the Mouth: A Diagnostic Dilemma.

Epidermoid cysts are abnormal structures originating from abnormal ectoderm and are benign and slow growing. These are found anywhere in the body. They arise during embryonic fusion due to entrapment of epithelial remnants and sometimes due to faulty implantation of the epithelium.

Hydrological linkages between different water resources from two contrasting ecosystems of western peninsular India: a stable isotope perspective.

Water scarcity is a leading concern in both developing and developed nations. Coping with water scarcity requires an understanding of various hydrological processes that act upon precipitation, surface and groundwater at a local scale. We measured isotopic signatures of several water samples from two distinct ecosystems, i.
