"Comparison of the efficacy of Erich arch bars, IMF screws and SMART Lock Hybrid arch bars in the management of mandibular fractures- A Randomized clinical study".

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess and compare the efficacy of Erich Arch Bar (EAB), Inter Maxillary Fixation (IMF) screws and SMART Lock Hybrid arch bar (HABs) in the treatment of mandibular fractures.

Materials And Methods: A prospective randomized clinical study was carried out in the Department of Dentistry at ESIC Hospital in Hyderabad from August 2021 to August 2023. The study comprised of three groups (EAB group (31), IMF screw group (33) and HABs group (29)).

Staples Versus Sutures for Skin Closure in Standard Four Port Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Introduction Many studies have been done comparing sutures versus skin staples in various wounds. To the author's knowledge, there is no study comparing these two in an laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) wound. Our study aims at comparing the clinical outcome of skin closure by monofilament nylon suture and stainless-steel skin stapler in standard four-port LC.

Acute Encephalopathy with Biphasic Seizures and Late Reduced Diffusion Associated with Dengue Infection in a Child.

Acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion (AESD) is a clinico-radiological syndrome in children secondary to viral or bacterial infections. The causes include viral (influenza, human herpes virus-6, adenovirus, rota) as well as bacterial infections. However, AESD with dengue infection has not been reported earlier.

Green approach for the synthesis of thiophenyl pyrazoles and isoxazoles by adopting 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition methodology and their antimicrobial activity.

A variety of N-((1,3-diphenyl-5-aryl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)sulfonyl)thiophene-2-carboxamides (7) and N-((5-aryl-3-phenylisoxazol-4-yl)sulfonyl)thiophene-2-carboxamides (8) were prepared from (E)-N-(arylethenesulfonyl)thiophene-2-carboxamides (4) adopting 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile imines and nitrile oxides generated from araldehyde phenylhydrazones and araldoximes in the presence of iodosobenzene and CTAB followed by oxidation with I in DMSO. The compounds 4f, 7e, 7f, 8e and 8f showed potential antibacterial activity against B. subtilis whereas 8e and 8f exhibited potential antifungal activity against A.
