Microbiological assessment of ready-to-eat foods and drinking water sources as a potential vehicle of bacterial pathogens in northern India.

Foodborne illnesses caused by the consumption of contaminated foods have frequent occurrences in developing countries. The incorporation of contaminated water in food processes, preparation, and serving is directly linked to several gastrointestinal infections. Keeping in view, this study was conducted to assess the microbial quality of both drinking water sources and commonly consumed fresh ready-to-eat (RTE) foods in the region.

To Evaluate the Effect of Vitamin B Complex on Wound Healing - A Clinical and Microbiological Study.

Background: The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of vitamin B complex supplementation following periodontal flap surgery on clinical and microbiological parameters.

Materials And Methods: A randomized controlled trial on 10 patients with periodontitis in split-mouth design was undertaken to find the effect of vitamin B complex supplementation with open flap debridement on periodontal wound healing. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for and was done using subgingival plaque samples at 0 and 90 day.

High-Precision Measurement of the Pu/Pu Isotope Ratio by TIMS.

With an aim to improve the precision of isotopic standards of special nuclear materials like uranium and plutonium, National Bureau of Standards (NBS) undertook the recertification of isotopic standards prepared between 1960 and 1970. In a recent initiative, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in collaboration with New Brunswick Laboratory Program Office (NBL PO) undertaken efforts to recertify SRM 946, SRM 947, and SRM 948. The primary goal of this drive is to lower the uncertainties associated with the isotopic compositions of plutonium standards.

 The primary form of treatment for salivary gland cancer is surgical resection. Radiation therapy is used as adjuvant therapy in cases of aggressive tumours, currently patients with recurrent or metastatic cancer who are not suitable for surgery or radiation are most often treated with chemotherapy. PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews were followed to evaluate salivary gland malignancies involving cytotoxic chemotherapy and biologic agents.

Amniotic membrane versus platelet-rich fibrin in treatment of gingival recession- a randomized control trial.

Objective: To determine the efficacy of latelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and Amniotic membrane (AM) along with the coronally advanced flap (CAF) technique in treating Miller's class I gingival recession (GR) defects.

Material And Methods: A total of 32 sites with Miller's class I GR defects were distributed into Group A (CAF + PRF, n = 16) and Group B (CAF + AM, n = 16). Clinical parameters like gingival index (GI), plaque index (PI), gingival bleeding index (GBI), gingival sulcus depth (GSD), relative attachment level (RAL), and gingival marginal level (GML) were measured at baseline and at 3, 6 and 9 months after surgical intervention.
