Background: Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) has been identified as a noninvasive way to stop dental caries from becoming worse, particularly in baby teeth.
Materials And Methods: A hundred kids between the ages of 3 and 6 who have at least one carious lesion in their primary teeth participated in a randomized controlled experiment. One of the two groups-the experimental group (n = 50), which got a 38% SDF therapy, or the control group (n = 50), which received a placebo-was randomly allocated to the subjects.
Background: Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is employed in caries prevention and treatment; however, tooth discoloration post treatment is a significant disadvantage, which can be reduced using glutathione (GSH), a water soluble tripeptide.
Aim: To evaluate and compare the effect of glutathione biomolecule (GSH) and potassium iodide (KI) along with SDF on tooth discoloration and shear bond strength of glass ionomer cement (GIC) on the tooth surface.
Methods: Artificial caries were created on 48 extracted unblemished premolars and divided into four groups (SDF, SDF + KI, SDF + GSH, and Water).
Silenced Echoes: Revenge Fantasies Toward Unjust Events in Drawings and Narratives of Indian Hindu Women.
Violence Against Women
October 2024
The study explored revenge fantasies as a response to perceived injustices among Indian Hindu women amid the prevalent gender-based violence. A mixed-method design with 52 women (18-56 years) was used to collect their drawings and narratives depicting revenge fantasies, demographics, the Traumatic Events Questionnaire, and the Injustice Experiences Questionnaire. Participants highlighted non-family events with strangers as perpetrators, preferring avoidance as the common revenge fantasy.

- The study investigates the characteristics of coronary artery disease in young adults (≤35 years) compared to older adults (>60 years) who experienced ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
- Using optical coherence tomography (OCT), researchers found that plaque erosion was more prevalent in younger patients, while plaque rupture was more common in older patients.
- The study concluded that the mechanisms behind STEMI differ based on age, with young individuals showing more cases of subacute thrombus linked to plaque erosion.
Background/objectives: The current study compared Self-Figure drawings from Thai and Indian adolescents to assess the cross-cultural applicability of a child abuse assessment tool. The research aims to understand the extent to which distinctions or similarities arise in Self-Figure drawings among adolescents from two culturally similar yet distinct backgrounds characterized by differences in religious affiliations, socioeconomic contexts, and political environments.
Methods: Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study utilized quantitative measures, including the Traumatic Events Checklist (TEQ-5) and Medical Somatic Dissociation Questionnaire (MSDQ), alongside a qualitative analysis of Self-Figure drawings.
