Context: External inflammatory root resorption has rapid onset and progresses aggressively. It leads to cementum loss, which allows communication between the infected pulp and the periodontium through the denuded dentinal tubules. Primary management strategy includes adequate chemomechanical debridement and lesion arrest for which maintaining alkaline pH and aerobic conditions is essential for healing and repair of the resorption defect.

Background: Treatment of lymph node basins is prognostic and therapeutic for axillary lymph nodes (ALN) as well as internal mammary lymph nodes (IMLNs) in breast cancer. IMLNs can be the first echelon node for the inner/central quadrants of the breast. We evaluated the yield of IMLN dissection (IMLND) mainly in patients with inner and central tumors.

Background: Triple negative Breast tumor (TNBC) is an aggressive tumor with sparse data worldwide.

Methods: We analyzed non-metastatic TNBC from 2013 to 2019 for demographics, practice patterns, and survival by the Kaplan Meir method. Prognostic factors for OS and DFS were evaluated using Cox Proportional Hazard model estimator for univariate and multivariable analysis after checking for collinearity among the variables.

Objectives: To compare the efficacy of 10 d versus 14 d of antibiotic therapy in neonates with culture-positive sepsis.

Methods: Neonates with culture-positive sepsis were randomized to either 10-d or 14-d antibiotic therapy. These neonates were followed up to 28 d after discharge for treatment failure.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to compare the anti-microbial efficacy of various intracanal medicaments against and Materials and methods: Sixty single rooted, non-carious, permanent mandibular premolars with no developmental defects that were previously extracted for the orthodontic purpose were included in this study. and strains were cultured on brain heart infusion (BHI) and sabouraud dextrose (SD) agar plates respectively. Sixty specimens were divided into two main groups and three subgroups with 10 teeth receiving a medicament; group I: (Subgroup Ia: BioPure MTAD, Subgroup Ib: propolis, Subgroup Ic: Triple antibiotic paste), group II: (Subgroup IIa: BioPure MTAD, Subgroup IIb: propolis, Subgroup IIc: Triple antibiotic paste).

Aim: Aim of the present study was to evaluate the apical leakage in gutta-percha/AH plus and resilon/epiphany filled root canals using two dye penetration techniques.

Materials And Methods: Sixty freshly extracted human single-rooted teeth were collected. The crown portion of each tooth was sectioned from the cementoenamel junction using a diamond disk.

Context: The management of breast cancer in older patients is challenging due to factors such as comorbidities, limited mobility, functional dependence, cognitive functions, and socioeconomic aspects. Data about the outcomes in elderly patients with breast cancer in our country are sparse.

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the clinical and pathological variables, treatment, and survival outcomes of elderly women (those of 70 years and above) with women under 50 years and those between the ages of 50 and 69 years treated at our center.

Introduction: Solid Pseudopapillary Tumor of the pancreas (SPT) is a rare pancreatic tumor and represents 1-3% of all pancreatic tumors. It usually presents in young females with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and abdominal fullness. The first case report was documented in 1959 and since then multiple case reports have been documented on the various surgical approaches for SPT.

Background: In the growing years, indicators of the level of maturational development of the individual provide the best means for evaluating biologic age and the associated timing of skeletal growth. The relative stage of maturity of a child may be determined by comparing the child's hand-wrist radiograph to the known standards of skeletal development.

Aims And Objectives: In this study, we assessed various levels of skeletal maturation and also identified the relationship between chronological age (CA) and maturation stage using the hand-wrist radiographs in adolescents of Indian origin.

Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) and related lesions comprise a complex group of mixed odontogenic tumors. Ameloblastic fibrodentinoma (AFD) is a rare tumor and is considered as a histological variant of AF showing inductive changes that lead to the formation of dentin. Although the most common site for this tumor is the posterior mandible, hereby we are reporting a case of AFD in the anterior maxillary region which is a very rare site for this group of tumors.
