Effect of posterior condylar offset in post operative range of motion in cruciate retaining and sacrificing TKR: A comparative analysis.

Background: Restoration of posterior condylar offset (PCO) during TKA is believed to be an important to improve knee kinematics, maximizing range of motion (ROM) and minimizing flexion instability. The aim of prospective study was to find out the role of PCO in post-operative ROM after cruciate retaining (CR) and cruciate sacrificing (CS) TKA.

Methods And Materials: A total of 90 patients were divided into the CR knee group (49) and CS knee Group (41) intra-operatively by the surgeon based on the status of Posterior Cruciate Ligament.

A focus on resveratrol and ocular problems, especially cataract: From chemistry to medical uses and clinical relevance.

Low vision and blindness are important health problems that affect millions of people throughout the world. The most common and important pathologies are diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma as well as cataracts. The latter consists of an opacification of the lens of the eye which impedes the passage of light and represents one of the most important causes of vision loss.

Zeaxanthin and ocular health, from bench to bedside.

Cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration are known as major ocular problems which cause blindness among the elderly population worldwide. Oxidative stress plays an important role in both the initiation and progression of ocular problems and with respect to this; dietary antioxidants can serve as a therapeutic strategy for the improvement of ocular health. Zeaxanthin is known as one of the most important and common xanthophyll carotenoids, possessing multiple therapeutic effects such as strong antioxidant and pro-oxidant behaviour as well as anti-inflammatory effects.

Partial Edentulism and its Association with Socio-Demographic Variables among Subjects Attending Dental Teaching Institutions, India.

Background: Despite advances in preventive dentistry, edentulism is a major public health issues worldwide. Edentulism is an enervating and unrepairable condition and is described as the "final marker of disease burden for oral health." The objectives of the present study are to determine the relationship between socio-demographic variables and partial edentulism, and to evaluate the prevalence of various classes of partial edentulism by using Kennedy's classification.
