Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a unified treatment algorithm for hepatitis B, termed KGHeBTA, in response to the fragmented guidelines and limited regional data.
- A total of 1,508 patient records were analyzed, revealing that 221 had detectable hepatitis B virus DNA, with 21% diagnosed with cirrhosis and 72% being asymptomatic cases discovered incidentally.
- The study found that only about 20% of patients were eligible for antiviral treatment based on the algorithm, while road-side shaving was identified as the most common risk factor for hepatitis B detection.

Relation of Bone Mineral Density with Homocysteine and Cathepsin K levels in Postmenopausal Women.
Indian J Endocrinol Metab
January 2018
Background: Homocysteine (HCY) interferes with collagen cross-linking in bones and stimulates osteoclast activity. The activated osteoclasts secrete cathepsin K (CathK), a cysteine protease, in eminent quantity during bone resorption. Hyperhomocysteinemia may effect bone mineral density (BMD) through CathK.

J Indian Soc Periodontol
April 2011
Background: The purpose of this study was to quantify some clinical parameters useful as esthetic guidelines when gingival contour is modified and to compare the left and right sides of six maxillary anterior teeth.
Materials And Methods: Maxillary casts mounted on an articulator according to the axis orbital plane were photographed from 35 young adults. The angle formed between the gingival line and maxillary midline (GLA) and the distance between the gingival zenith of the lateral incisor and the gingival line were measured (LID) using a flexible protractor and digital vernier caliper, respectively.
