A Comparative Evaluation of Three Different Modeling Videos on Dental Anxiety of 3-6-year-old Children Requiring Treatment under Local Anesthesia: A Parallel, Randomized Controlled Trial.

Introduction: Video modeling is one of the most recommended techniques for modifying children's behavior during dental procedures.

Aim: To comparatively evaluate the three different modeling videos on dental anxiety of 3-6-year-old children requiring treatment under local anesthesia (LA).

Settings And Design: A parallel, randomized controlled trial was conducted in the Department of Pediatric Dentistry after obtaining clearance from the ethical committee.

Ruminal microbial responses to Moringa oleifera feed in lactating goats (Capra hircus): A metagenomic exploration.

The purpose of the current study was to explore the effects of Moringa oleifera feed on the taxonomy and function of the rumen microbial community, and further to evaluate its impact on milk yield and body weight in lactating goats. Nineteen goats were divided into moringa leaf diet (ML; n=10) and masoor straw (MS; n=9) groups. For each group fortnight milk yield and body weight was recorded.

Neurodevelopmental outcomes after infant heart surgery for congenital heart disease: a hospital-based multicentre prospective cohort study from India.

Background: Neurodevelopmental disability is a common long-term concern following surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD). Little information is available from low-resource environments where the majority of children with CHD are born. Several challenges in the CHD care continuum exist in such environments.

Optimizing the production and efficacy of antimicrobial bioactive compounds from in combating multi-drug-resistant pathogens.

Background: The rise of antibiotic-resistant pathogens has intensified the search for novel antimicrobial agents. This study aimed to isolate from local soil samples and evaluate its antimicrobial properties, along with optimizing the production of bioactive compounds.

Methods: Soil samples were collected from local regions, processed, and analysed for Streptomyces strains isolation using morphological characteristics and molecular identification through 16S rRNA gene PCR assay.

Efficacy of Bilastine, Dextromethorphan, and Phenylephrine Syrup in Patients With Dry Cough: A Phase 3 Randomised Trial.

Background Cough in common cold is often associated with rhinorrhoea and nasal congestion, requiring treatment with a cough suppressant, decongestant, and antihistamine. Bilastine is a non-sedating antihistamine, a preferred option over sedating antihistamines. A combination of bilastine, dextromethorphan, and phenylephrine is expected to provide non-sedating treatment for cough associated with a common cold or allergy.
