Article Synopsis
- Tuberculosis (TB) in the head-and-neck area can mimic cancer symptoms, resulting in misdiagnosis and delays in treatment, making awareness crucial for early detection.
- The study reviewed cases from 30 patients treated between 2018 and 2024, primarily involving young individuals aged 15-24, with cervical tubercular adenitis being the most common lesion.
- The findings suggest that healthcare providers need to consider TB in differential diagnoses due to its varied presentations, which can easily be confused with other conditions.
Introduction: Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is a benign epithelial tumour originating from the salivary gland, specifically the parotid gland. This study aims to comprehensively analyse the clinical and pathological features of PA by examining the characteristics of the tumour, including its histological structure and immunohistochemical profile.
Materials And Methods: Over 8 years, beginning in October 2015 and ending in October 2023, an exhaustive retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Pathology, Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, Manipal University, Karnataka, India.
Background: The study aimed to report all cases of oral tuberculosis (TB), a rare manifestation of the fatal infectious disease primarily affecting the pulmonary system. The report also evaluated the clinicopathological characteristics of oral TB lesions.
Methods: A total of 25 patients who presented with oral lesions between August 2013 and August 2023 were diagnosed with TB through surgical biopsy despite having no prior history of the disease.
The present study aims to explore the phytochemical constitution and biological activities of L.f. (Cleomaceae).

This pandemic tested the healthcare system's preparedness, which depends on predictors of severity and factors related to the duration of hospital stays. Therefore, we carried out a single-center, retrospective cohort study in a tertiary academic hospital to investigate these clinical features and predictors of severe disease and study the different factors that affect hospital stay.

Folia Morphol (Warsz)
March 2022
Background: The aim of the study was to analyse the morphology of the apical foramen in permanent maxillary and mandibular human teeth.
Materials And Methods: The anatomic parameters include shapes (rounded, oval, uneven, flat and semilunar) and location (centre, buccal/labial, lingual/palatal, mesial, and distal) of the apical foramina was evaluated. The shapes and locations of apical foramen were analysed based on tooth type (central incisor, lateral incisor, canine, premolars, and molars) arch type (maxillary and mandibular), and position (anterior and posterior).
Purpose: To analyze the morphology of shapes and positions of the apical foramina in permanent maxillary and mandibular posterior teeth.
Methods: Examination of the apical foramina was performed with a stereomicroscope at a magnification of 10×. The anatomic parameters evaluated were the shapes of the peripheral contours of the apical foramina (rounded, oval, asymmetric, and semilunar).
Aim: To determine the knowledge and attitude of medical practitioners towards dental care of children in Raichur district.
Materials And Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional survey conducted among the medical practitioners of Raichur district. The study was conducted on 300 practitioners, randomly selected.
