- - The study investigated the role and mutations of the XBB omicron variant in COVID-19 cases among hospitalized patients in Tamil Nadu, India, particularly in the context of increased breakthrough infections despite vaccination efforts.
- - Researchers analyzed nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs from 98 patients using real-time PCR and Next Generation Sequencing, identifying 43 mutations in the S gene, including two new mutations, A27S and T747I, which had not been previously reported.
- - The findings suggested that factors such as age and underlying health conditions were more critical in susceptibility to infection than vaccination status, with XBB.3 being the main variant identified among vaccinated individuals experiencing breakthrough infections.
Background: Depression is a common mental disorder and is a leading cause of disability globally. Depressive symptoms among people living with HIV can be a significant barrier to ART initiation and thus lead to poor ART adherence. Global studies have found the prevalence of depressive symptoms among people living with HIV ranges from 12 to 63%.

The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two types of separators, elastomeric and Kansal, in the amount of space opening, pain perception elicited, and gingival inflammation.
Methods: A random split-mouth study was designed with 30 subjects undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment.
Aim: To evaluate and compare the effectiveness of nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (NcHA) with advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) and hydroxyapatite-reinforced beta tricalcium phosphate (HA + β-TCP) with A-PRF in the treatment of human infrabony defects clinically and radiographically using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Materials And Methods: There were a total of 28 defects, with 14 defects in the test and control groups, respectively. There were total 28 patients were involved in the study.
