Fabrication of orbital prosthesis by two different methods in patients with post-COVID-19 rhino-orbital maxillary mucormycosis: A case series.

Neoplasms, congenital disorders, fungal infections, and traumatic injuries are the predominant causes of orbital defects. Various retentive mechanisms such as application of adhesive, utilization of mechanical undercuts, and implant-supported attachments are generally used in the maxillofacial prosthesis. In the orbital region, the result of magnet-retained attachments is favorable compared with other mechanisms.

Exploring the supremacy of microvascular coupling devices for arterial anastomosis in terms of added expeditiousness, safety concerns: A systematic review.

Background: Arterial anastomoses are still most commonly performed using orthodox hand sewing technique. Various rationale such as non-pliable, atherosclerotic, thick-walled or irradiated vessels limit the competency of coupler devices for arterial micro-anastomosis. Microvascular coupling devices (MCD) are well known for venous anastomoses but arterial MCD have relatively been less navigated in reported literatures.

Electromyographic Assessment of Masticatory Muscles & their Asymmetries in Adult Indian Population.

Objective: To study the surface electromyography (sEMG) and it is asymmetry under resting and dynamic conditions in masticatory muscles.

Materials And Methods: sEMG of the masticatory muscles (bilateral masseter & temporalis) was done in 61 healthy subjects (mean age 28.5 ± 8.

Immunogenicity of cancer cells: An overview.

The immune system assumes a pivotal role in the organism's capacity to discern and obliterate malignant cells. The immunogenicity of a cancer cell pertains to its proficiency in inciting an immunological response. The prowess of immunogenicity stands as a pivotal determinant in the triumph of formulating immunotherapeutic methodologies.

Photo/electro catalytic green hydrogen production promoted by Ga modified CoCuFeO nano catalysts.

The current work concentrates on the fabrication of Ga doped CoCuFeO nanocatalysts via sol-gel auto-combustion (SGA) for the production of green and sustainable source of energy i.e., hydrogen through photocatalytic and electrocatalytic routes.

Comparative Evaluation of Nasolabial Flap, Buccal Fat Pad and Platysma Myocutaneous Flap for Reconstruction of Oral Sub Mucous Fibrosis Defects.

Moderately advanced (stage III) and advanced (stage IV a & b) OSMF requires surgical intervention for management A number of options are available for reconstruction of post OSMF oral cavity defects. In our study we retrospectively compared buccal fat pad, nasolabial flap and platysma flap for reconstruction of the buccal mucosal defects. Patient records were obtained from the medical records section of the Institute and divided into three groups; group A (buccal fat pad), group B (nasolabial group) and group C (platysma flap).

Expression of mammalian cell entry genes in clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis and the cell entry potential and immunological reactivity of the Rv0590A protein.

Mammalian cell entry (mce) operons play a vital role in cell invasion and survival of M. tuberculosis. Of the mce genes, the function of Rv0590A is still unknown.

Management and outcome of locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Management of locally advanced OSCC is multimodal. No single therapy has been proved to be efficacious. However there is a trend towards surgical intervention in operable disease.

Evaluation of Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices of Government Primary School Teachers in Faridabad City Regarding Oral Health.

Background: Schoolteachers have a massive capacity for shaping the oral health status of children. Teachers help in behavioral shaping and the total progress of schoolchildren. They are thought to apply a substantial impact on their students.

C-Arm a Useful Tool for Surgeons in Reduction of Zygomatic Complex Fracture: A Comparative Study: Article Type-Original Research.

Introduction: Reduction of zygomaticomaxillary (ZMC) fracture is often difficult to evaluate intraoperatively because of it peculiar anatomy and limited accessibility. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of use of C-arm as a tool for intraoperative monitoring of ZMC fracture reduction.

Materials And Methods: Group I (C-Arm) and Group II (control group) comprised of patients with isolated unilateral displaced Zygomatic complex (ZMC) fractures and having orbital volume change.

Bipaddled Pectoralis Major Myocutaneous Flap in Complex Oral Cancer Defects- A Single Center Experience with Quality of Life Assessment.
