Article Synopsis
- Forced vital capacity (FVC) and six-minute walk distance (6MWD) are important markers used to evaluate the severity and prognosis of interstitial lung diseases (ILD).
- The study compared exercise capacity, specifically 6MWT parameters, between patients with usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) and non-UIP ILD while controlling for FVC levels.
- Results indicated that there were no significant differences in exercise capacity between the two groups when lung function was similar, suggesting that HRCT pattern may not independently affect exercise performance in ILD.
: A narrow alveolar ridge is an obstacle to optimal rehabilitation of the dentition. There are several complex and invasive techniques to counter the ridge augmentation dilemma, with most of them exhibiting low feasibility. Hence, this randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a Minimalistic Ridge Augmentation (MRA) technique, in conjunction with low-level laser therapy (LLLT).

The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of various factors on the host resistance of cattle against tick infestation in Kerala State, South India. The number of naturally infested semi-engorged female ticks present on the cattle was counted on a sample cattle population across the four regions of Kerala. Then, the animals were grouped based on the tick count.
