Aim And Objective: To assess dental trauma, level of knowledge of participants about the preventive measures, and management of traumatic dental injuries during sports in children aged 6-15 years in private sports academies in Hyderabad.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 317 children aged 6-15 years and 25 coaches by a structured questionnaire to assess the prevalence of dental trauma during sports followed by an awareness program on prevention. Data obtained were analyzed.
Background: Several studies have reported short and medium-term outcomes of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in patients with class I obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, literature on outcomes beyond three years is scarce. The present study discusses the 5-year results of a previously reported cohort of 20 patients with class I obesity and T2DM, who had undergone LSG between March 2012 and March 2015.

Human sulfotransferase 1A1 (SULT1A1) is involved in the sulfonation of xenobiotics with aid from the cofactor 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate that acts as a sulfonate donor. In this study, we have attempted to immobilize SULT1A1 on magnetic microparticles (MMs).

The design as well as the method to capture magnetic microparticles inside the capillary are discussed. This setup was tested at temperature and pH values suitable for performing enzymatic reactions.

- This study examines the effects of aspirin on patients who have had prior percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and are undergoing noncardiac surgery, as there is uncertainty regarding aspirin's role in this context.
- A subgroup analysis of a multicenter trial involving nearly 5000 patients found that aspirin significantly reduced the risk of death or nonfatal heart attacks in those with prior PCI, with an absolute risk reduction of 5.5%.
- However, the impact of aspirin on major bleeding events in this group was unclear, suggesting that while aspirin may provide cardiovascular protection, it could also carry bleeding risks that need further investigation.
