Assessing the Correlation of Periodontal Inflamed Surface Area (PISA) With Systemic Inflammatory Markers.

Background Periodontitis has a vital role in eliciting a cross-reactivity or systemic inflammatory response, making periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA) a primary contributor to the inflammatory burden posed by periodontitis. PISA helps in the quantification of the amount of inflamed periodontal tissue. However, the existing literature data concerning PISA as an indicator of inflammatory burden are scarce, with limited research on the relationship between systemic inflammatory markers and PISA.

Monkeypox Virus (MPXV) Infection: A Review.

Monkeypox is a viral disease; its outbreak was recently declared a global emergency by the World Health Organization. For the first time, a monkeypox virus (MPXV)-infected patient was found in India. Various researchers back-to-back tried to find the solution to this health emergency just after COVID-19.

Comparison of Root Coverage by the Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft With and Without Root Biomodification: A Comprehensive Clinical Study.

Background: Being an autologous graft, a subepithelial connective tissue (SECT) graft shows more predictable root coverage better than other techniques. Hence, it is most likely to be widely used for recession treatment. During root planing, a smear layer forms on the root surface that cannot be removed by water or saline rinsing.

Comparative antidandruff efficacy of plant extracts prepared from conventional and supercritical fluid extraction method and chemical profiling using GCMS.

Background: To combat dandruff associated pathogens, supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) can be used as an alternative eco-friendly technique to obtain antimicrobial plant extracts over conventional methods.

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to compare the yield and antimicrobial potential of extracts obtained by different extraction methods.

Methods: Extraction was carried out by cold percolation method using ethyl acetate (EA) and SFE using CO.

Target Based Virtual Screening of New Leads Inhibitor against Bacterial Cell Division Protein FtsZ for the Discovery of Antibacterial Agents.

Background: Staphylococus epidermidis coagulase negative and gram positive streptococci have emerged as major nosocomial pathogens associated with the infection of implanted medical devices and dandruff on human scalp. S. epidermidis filamenting temperature-sensitive mutant Z (FtsZ) gene encoded FtsZ protein that assembles at future bacterial cell division site that forms Z-ring structure.
