- - A study was conducted to translate and validate the Oral Health-Related Quality of Life in Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OHR QoL-OSF) questionnaire into Hindi, addressing the health needs of the Indian population.
- - The translation followed the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) guidelines, and the study involved 50 patients, demonstrating high reliability (Cronbach's alpha of 0.87) and good agreement among content experts.
- - The Hindi version of the questionnaire showed good reliability, validity, and acceptability, indicating it can effectively assess quality of life in this patient group, with recommendations for larger future studies.
Efficacy of Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) protocol in maxillofacial trauma: A randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: Enhanced Recovery after surgery (ERAS) guidelines have been formulated in the literature for various different specialties but none is present for maxillofacial trauma patients. Hence, we have formulated ERAS protocol for maxillofacial trauma (ERAS-MT) patients and compared with the patients receiving the standard traditional care for post trauma outcomes.
Methodology: A randomized controlled trial included 74 patients divided into two groups: Group 1 (ERAS group:37 patients) and Group II (Control group:37 patients).
Aim: MicroRNAs have been widely acknowledged as a diagnostic, prognostic, and/or therapeutic biomarker for the progression of OSCC, but the correlation of hsa-miR-101-5p and hsa-miR-155-3p is yet to be established with c-Fos in OSCC and OSMF.
Methodology: An observational study enrolled 40 patients divided into 2 groups: Group I-21 OSMF patients without malignant transformation, Group II-19 patients with locally advanced, large-operable, or metastatic OSCC, after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Both miRNAs were extracted and analyzed from the tissue sample excised from the involved site.
Trial Design: The study was designed as an open label randomized comparative parallel group design with a 1:1 allocation ratio.
Methods: All consecutive patients reporting for small biopsies (incisional or excisional) who gave written informed consent were included in the study between October 2018 and October 2019. They were randomized into two groups, Group A and Group B both receiving intervention in the form of 2.
