Diagnostic and prophylactic potential of a stabilized foot-and-mouth disease serotype Asia1 virus like particles designed through a structure guided approach.

Intact capsids of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) play a vital role in eliciting a protective immune response. Any change in the physico-chemical environment of the capsids results in dissociation and poor immunogenicity. Structural bioinfomatics studies have been carried out to predict the amino acids at the interpentameric region that resulted in the identification of mutant virus-like particles(VLPs) of FMDV serotype Asia1/IND/63/1972.

An improved deep reinforcement learning routing technique for collision-free VANET.

Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANETs) is an emerging field that employs a wireless local area network (WLAN) characterized by an ad-hoc topology. Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) comprise diverse entities that are integrated to establish effective communication among themselves and with other associated services. Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) commonly encounter a range of obstacles, such as routing complexities and excessive control overhead.

Efficacy of Transdermal Diclofenac Patch as an Analgesic Following Premolar Extractions in Orthodontic Patients.

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of transdermal diclofenac patch versus oral diclofenac tablet as analgesic following premolar extractions in orthodontic patients.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-three symmetrical pairs of indicated premolars (either first or second) were included for the present study. Each patient was given either transdermal diclofenac sodium patch 100 mg once a day or oral diclofenac tablet 50 mg twice a day for 3 days after the extraction.

Proximity of maxillary posterior teeth roots to maxillary sinus and adjacent structures using Denta scan.

Aim: The study aimed to investigate the proximity of maxillary posterior teeth roots to maxillary sinus and measure the distance of maxillary posterior teeth roots and the sinus floor as well as the thickness of bone between the roots and alveolar cortical bone using Denta scan.

Materials And Methods: The study samples include Denta scan images of fifty patients with normally erupted bilateral maxillary first premolar to maxillary second molar. The vertical relationship of each tooth root with maxillary sinus is classified into four types of Denta scan images (based on the classification by Jung in 2009).

Psychiatric morbidity in prisoners.

Context: The prevalence of psychiatric illness in correctional settings is significantly elevated, with higher than community rates reported for most mental disorders.

Aims: (1) To examine the socio-demographic profile of convicted prisoners. (2) To evaluate the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in convicted prisoners.
