3D nanocomposites of β-TCP-HBO-Cu with improved mechanical and biological performances for bone regeneration applications.

Recently, 3-D porous architecture of the composites play a key role in cell proliferation, bone regeneration, and anticancer activities. The osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties of β-TCP allow for the complete repair of numerous bone defects. Herein, β-TCP was synthesized by wet chemical precipitation route, and their 3-D porous composites with HBO and Cu nanoparticles were prepared by the solid-state reaction method with improved mechanical and biological performances.

Clinical and Histopathological Characteristics of Acquired Inflammatory Blaschko-Linear Disorders.

Introduction: Acquired inflammatory Blaschko-linear dermatoses have not been studied extensively. Descriptive studies on segmental vitiligo have yielded insights helpful in counseling patients. Similar insights are expected from studies on other acquired inflammatory Blaschko-linear diseases.

A Survey on Quality of Services, Training, and Attitude of Dermatology Trainee Residents About Sexually Transmitted Infections in Teaching Hospitals Across India.

Introduction: The incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) has increased disproportionately to STI services. It is uncertain how many residents trained in STI services continue them. This study assessed the self-rated quality of training and attitudes about STI services amongst residents of Indian teaching hospitals.

Prevalence and outcome of sarcopenia in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: a follow-up study.

Background/aims: Sarcopenia is implicated in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) complications and surgical outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and follow-up of sarcopenia in patients with IBD.

Methods: Consecutive consenting patients with IBD aged > 18 years were included.
