Assessment of lip and finger print patterns in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and dental caries: A cross-sectional study.

Background And Objectives: Globally, the prevalence of diabetes and dental caries has been soaring high in recent times. There is a constant effort in the scientific community to develop a reliable and economic early predictor which can serve the purpose of mass screening of genetically vulnerable populations. The present study attempts to evaluate the different types of lip prints and finger prints in diabetes mellitus and dental caries and to see association between the most common diseases (diabetes mellitus and dental caries) if any.

Adductor canal block (ACB) plus infiltration of the posterior capsule of the knee (iPACK) block versus 4-in-1 block in an arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair: A randomised study.

Background And Aims: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair is a common sports-related surgery requiring early rehabilitation. Injection between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the knee (iPACK) provides analgesia to the posterior knee and, when combined with adductor canal block (ACB), can provide complete analgesia for knee surgery. A 4-in-1 block, a single injection, has been studied for analgesia in TKR but not ACL repair.

Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of the Supraglottis: A Rare Entity.

Inflammatory myofibroblastictumour of larynx is a rare and an unexplored area. Though benign, it has capabilities to transform into malignancy and also has a very high recurrence rate. The purpose of this paper is to shed light on treatment modality for IMT of the supraglottis.

Clinical, Pathologic, and Imaging Variables Associated with Prostate Cancer Detection by PSMA PET/CT and Multiparametric MRI.

Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) and prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT are complementary imaging modalities used in the presurgical evaluation of patients with prostate cancer (PCa). The purpose of this study was to characterize clinically significant PCa (csPCa) detected and not detected by PSMA PET/CT and mpMRI, focusing on tumors detected solely by PSMA PET/CT and overlooked by mpMRI. We conducted a single-center, retrospective analysis of patients who underwent both PSMA PET/CT and mpMRI within 3 mo of each other and before radical prostatectomy.

The hidden architects of the genome: a comprehensive review of R-loops.

Three-stranded DNA: RNA hybrids known as R-loops form when the non-template DNA strand is displaced and the mRNA transcript anneals to its template strand. Although R-loop formation controls DNA damage response, mitochondrial and genomic transcription, and physiological R-loop formation, imbalanced formation of R-loop can jeopardize a cell's genomic integrity. Transcription regulation and immunoglobulin class switch recombination are two further specialized functions of genomic R-loops.
