Prevalence and pattern of traumatic orofacial injuries in Kabaddi players in Delhi-NCR region.

Background/aim: Contact-sports are known to have higher risk of orofacial injuries due to the bodily contact with other players or equipment. Kabaddi is a traditional contact-sport of India that has gained an international recognition. There is a paucity of data regarding prevalence of traumatic dental and orofacial injuries among the Kabaddi players.

A systematic review of associations between genetic polymorphism and dyslexia in the Indian population.

There is growing interest in understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying dyslexia. Accordingly, the literature on dyslexia is replete with shreds of evidence linking genes and their genetic markers with dyslexia among different populations. Even though genetic inquiries into dyslexia in the Asian population has gained interest in recent years, very little is known about the genes and their polymorphisms associated with dyslexia in the Indian population.

The Modularity of Dyslexia.

There is a growing interest in understanding dyslexia and the mechanisms involved in reading difficulties. Inquiries into the morphological and physiological changes of the brain have contributed to our increased understanding of reading ability and dyslexia. Similarly, inquiries into brain chemistry and reading provide a neurometabolic framework of dyslexia in terms of poor reading and phonological measures.

Copper-Catalyzed Thiolation of Terminal Alkynes Employing Thiocyanate as the Sulfur Source Leading to Enaminone-Based Alkynyl Sulfides under Ambient Conditions.

A highly efficient protocol for copper-catalyzed thio-alkynylation of enaminone-based thiocyanates with terminal alkynes under mild conditions has been developed. This scalable amino group-directed thio-alkynylation proceeds in the open air with a broad substrate scope and an excellent yield. The demonstrated synthetic transformation creates the opportunity for a wide variety of sulfur-containing useful materials.
