Article Synopsis
- A clinical trial with 60 orthodontic patients tested the effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) alongside traditional braces on treatment duration and pain perception.
- The biomodulation group experienced a 30% reduction in treatment time, averaging 8.4 months, compared to 12 months in the control group, along with lower pain levels during adjustments.
- The study concluded that LLLT can effectively speed up tooth movement and reduce overall treatment duration in orthodontic patients.
The present study describes a 7-year-old male child who had attended the Pediatric Oncology Clinic of the Regional Cancer Centre, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India, and was pathologically confirmed to have B-Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL). Conventional cytogenetics analysis at diagnosis showed the presence of a double Philadelphia chromosome and the karyotype of the case was 47, , (9;22)(q34;q11.2), + der(22)t(9;22).

We remain limited in our ability to effectively treat these conditions because of lack of understanding of the disease mechanisms and lack of predictors to identify the clinical course and therapeutic responsiveness. We propose to develop a network of investigators in glomerular diseases, collect information in a systematic fashion to understand the clinical outcomes, answer translational research questions better, and identify and recruit patients for clinical trials.

- - The study investigated how resilience affected the quality of life of nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic, noting a gap in research on this specific group.
- - Conducted with 268 nursing students from three universities in South India, the research used a web-based survey to gather data in June 2021.
- - Results showed that while participants had normal levels of resilience, it moderately impacted their quality of life, with significant differences based on year of education and university, emphasizing the need to boost resilience for better student well-being.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common acute leukemia in adults that affects the myeloid lineage. The recent advances have upgraded our understanding of the cytogenetic abnormalities and molecular mutations associated with AML that further aids in prognostication and risk stratification of the disease. Based on the highly heterogeneous nature of the disease and cytogenetic profile, AML patients can be stratified into favourable, intermediate and adverse-risk groups.
