Assessment of Titanium Level in Submucosal Plaque Around Healthy Implants and Implants with Peri-implantitis: A Clinical Study.

Background: The present study focused on assessing the level of titanium in submucosal plaque in the peri-implant area with peri-implantitis in comparison to healthy implants.

Methodology: Sixty patients with titanium dental implants were recruited. The degree of titanium in submucosal plaque around peri-implantitis and healthy implants was estimated using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.

Umbilical cord ulceration: An underdiagnosed entity.

Umbilical cord ulceration is a rare condition presenting with sudden fetal bradycardia due to fetal hemorrhage and in most cases leading to intrauterine death. A strong association with intestinal atresia has been reported. Most cases present after 30 weeks of gestation, with preterm labor or rupture of membranes followed by sudden fetal bradycardia.

Small bowel histomorphology in surgical complications of ascariasis: a small series.

Background: Ascariasis is a worldwide health problem. Patients usually get treated with antihelminthics. Rarely, undiagnosed cases can present with surgical complications.

Epidermal inclusion cyst in breast: Is it so rare?

Background: Epidermal inclusion cyst in the breast (EICB) is very rare. It presents as breast lump mainly in peri-areolar region and needs to be differentiated from other breast lesions with predominance of squamous cells.

Aim: To analyze the role of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in patients presenting with breast lump.
