Article Synopsis
- Cardiac ochronosis is a rare condition linked to alkaptonuria, characterized by black pigmentation in cardiac structures, discovered in a 60-year-old woman during valve replacement surgery for severe aortic stenosis.
- Intraoperatively, the presence of a pigmented aortic valve led to the diagnosis of alkaptonuria, prompting a switch from a bioprosthetic to a mechanical valve for better long-term outcomes.
- Post-surgery, the patient was discharged without complications, with plans for regular follow-up to monitor her valve function and manage her condition's progression.
The objective of this study is to create and validate a quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) for the assessment of Vitamin D intake among adults in Indian population. A quantitative FFQ was developed consisting of Vitamin D dietary-rich sources selected from IFCT, 2017. Further, the FFQ was validated against 24-h dietary recall from randomly selected 385 adults, both men and women above 25 years of age.

Methodology Mueller Hilton agar was used to cultivate distinct strains of and , whereas was cultured on a potato dextrose agar medium. Diffusion ratios of 1:5, 1:10, and 1:15 were obtained by diluting 1 gram of each dentifrice (KP Namboodiri, Homeodent, andColgate Strong Teeth) in 4 ml, 9 ml, and 14 ml of distilled water, respectively.

The study was aimed to evaluate the platelet derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) levels in cases of isolated gingival recession using gingival pedicle split thickness tunnel technique (GPST) and de-epithelialized gingival graft (DGG) with or without coating it with i-PRF.
Methodology: 20 patients exhibiting Miller's class I/II isolated gingival recession were selected for this parallel arm randomized controlled trial.
