Dental pulp stem cells as a novel antifibrotic therapy for oral submucous fibrosis: An in vitro study.

Background: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a chronic, potentially malignant disorder associated with areca nut consumption. It is characterized by progressive fibrosis, trismus, and a significant risk of malignancy, with limited treatment options primarily offering symptomatic relief. Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), a type of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), have shown potential for modulating fibrotic conditions through their immunomodulatory and regenerative properties.

Evaluating the Efficacy of the Newborn Communication, Health, Feeding, and Swallowing Education Program (N-CHFSEP) for First-Time Mothers in Mangalore taluk, Dakshina Kannada district, Karnataka, India: A Preliminary Study.

Background: Primiparous mothers face diverse challenges during pregnancy and post-childbirth. There is limited data on the effectiveness of postnatal educational programs for new mothers (Subramanian et al., 2020).

Minimally invasive surgical techniques compared to an extensile lateral approach in the management of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

Background: Developments in minimally invasive surgical techniques (MIS) have sparked debate over the optimal intervention for calcaneal fractures. This meta-analysis compares the extensile lateral approach (ELA) to two MIS techniques; the sinus tarsi approach and percutaneous approaches.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted across seven databases for randomised control trials (RCTs).

Painful chest wall swelling: First rib osteochondroma in a paediatric patient with Hereditary Multiple Exostoses.

Hereditary multiple exostoses (HME) is an autosomal dominant condition with variable penetrance. As per Dr Waller's audit of the Leeds regional bone tumour registry, 90 primary bone tumours of the thoracic skeleton were recorded, accounting for 4.5% of all cases in the registry.

Effect of Health Education on Knowledge and Attitudes Toward Reproductive Health Among Pre-university Girls in an Urban Area.

Background: For every woman, menstruation is a natural physiological process, and the adolescence period marks the beginning of the menstruation process. Investing the right knowledge in girls at a young age directs a better future for women, children, and families, thereby leading to intergenerational impact.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the impact of health education on reproductive health among pre-university girls in an urban area.
