Assessment of Potential Drug-drug Interactions (pDDIs) and Their Risk Factors Among Hospitalized Cardiac Patients in a Tertiary-care Center of Central India: A Retrospective Record-based Study.

Patients with cardiovascular disorders (CVD) possess multiple comorbidities and are prone to be prescribed multiple drugs, thus predisposing them to various drug-drug interactions (DDIs). This study was carried out to assess the potential-DDIs (pDDIs) among the drugs prescribed to hospitalized patients with CVD and associated factors. It was a retrospective study conducted with the help of the medical records department.

Effect of Initial Periodontal Therapy on Serum Nitric Oxide Levels in Chronic Periodontitis Patients with or without Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of initial periodontal therapy on serum NO levels in chronic periodontitis (CP) patients with or without type2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) Materials and methods: A total of 90 subjects (group I-30 healthy controls, group I-30 CP and group III-30 CP with T2DM) participated in this study. Groups II and III subjects received initial periodontal therapy. Clinical periodontal parameters (OHI-S, GI, PPD, and CAL) and serum NO levels were evaluated at baseline and 4 weeks after initial periodontal therapy.

Critical Appraisal of Bidirectional Relationship between Periodontitis and Hyperlipidemia.

Periodontal disease and hyperlipidemia are both multifactorial disease with a high prevalence Worldwide. Cross-sectional and longitudinal prospective clinical studies show some evidence for a bidirectional relationship. Periodontitis and hyperlipidemia share some common risk factors and there exist a mechanistic link between both.

"Ormocer an innovative technology": A replacement for conventional cements and veneer? A comparative analysis.

Objective: This study was designed to assess shear bond strength (SBS) of ormocer flowable (OF) resin as a luting agent, ormocer as an indirect veneer material with portrayal of modes of failures using scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Materials And Methods: Sixty maxillary central incisors were divided into Group I, II, and III with 20 samples each based on luting cement used. They were OF, self-adhesive (SA) cement, and total etch (TE) cement.

Root Coverage using Double Papilla Preservation Flap: A Case Report.

Gingival recession can result in an unesthetic appearance, hypersensitivity, and root caries. The physiological well-being of the patient is a significant factor associated with the success of dental therapy. Esthetics is one of the main concerns of the patient if recession is present especially in anteriors.
