Dirofilariasis of the Nasal Dorsum: A Case Report.

Dirofilariasis is an infection caused by the filarial nematode Dirofilaria. primarily causes pulmonary dirofilariasis, while subcutaneous dirofilariasis is usually caused by and but can rarely be caused by as well. Here we report a rare case where in a 26-year-old with a history of international travel presented with swelling over the nasal dorsum.

Pediatric Oronasopharyngeal Stricture- A Rare Surgical Complication of Adeno-Tonsillectomy Abstract.

Unlabelled: Introduction: Oronasopharyngeal stricture is a rare sequel of oropharyngeal surgical procedure which can cause swallowing difficulty, dyspnea, sleep related breathing disorders, incompetence at the velopharynx due to soft palatal adherence. Case: Here we present a case of nine-year-old girl who presented to us with complains of nasal obstruction since 3 months and symptoms of sleep disordered breathing. She underwent adenotonsillectomy 5 years ago and coblator assisted palatoplasty and stricture release 4 months ago.

Radiation dose to the cochlea and its association with sensorineural hearing loss in head and neck cancer-A prospective study.

Aim: To determine the effect of cochlear dose on sensorineural hearing loss in patients with head and neck cancer treated by radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy.

Materials And Method: A two-year longitudinal study was conducted on 130 subjects with various head and neck malignancies who were receiving radiotherapy or chemoradiation. 56 patients received only radiotherapy while 74 patients received concurrent chemoradiation five days a week at a dose of 66-70 Gy.

Deep neural network and model-based clustering technique for forensic electronic mail author attribution.

Electronic mail is the primary source of different cyber scams. Identifying the author of electronic mail is essential. It forms significant documentary evidence in the field of digital forensics.

Comparative Evaluation of Mechanical and Microleakage Properties of Cention-N, Composite, and Glass Ionomer Cement Restorative Materials.

Aim: The longevity of restorative materials depends on the resistance to masticatory forces. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the mechanical and microleakage properties of Cention-N with glass ionomer cement (GIC) and composite restorative materials.

Materials And Methods: A total of 45 specimen blocks were prepared with 15 samples of each type of restorative material, namely Cention-N, GIC, and hybrid composite.

Clinical, radiographic, and histological findings of chronic inflammatory periapical lesions - A clinical study.

Aim: The present study aimed at comparing clinical, radiographical, and histological findings in chronic periapical lesions such as cysts, granuloma, and abscess.

Methodology: The present study was conducted on 148 teeth having chronic inflammatory periapical lesions with or without nonsurgical endodontic treatment. Endodontic surgery was performed by single trained endodontist.

Screening of mutations affecting protein stability and dynamics of FGFR1-A simulation analysis.

Single amino acid substitutions in Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 1 () destabilize protein and have been implicated in several genetic disorders like various forms of cancer, Kallamann syndrome, Pfeiffer syndrome, Jackson Weiss syndrome, etc. In order to gain functional insight into mutation caused by amino acid substitution to protein function and expression, special emphasis was laid on molecular dynamics simulation techniques in combination with in silico tools such as SIFT, PolyPhen 2.0, I-Mutant 3.
