Exploring emotional patterns in social media through NLP models to unravel mental health insights.

This study aimed to develop an advanced ensemble approach for automated classification of mental health disorders in social media posts. The research question was: can an ensemble of fine-tuned transformer models (XLNet, RoBERTa, and ELECTRA) with Bayesian hyperparameter optimization improve the accuracy of mental health disorder classification in social media text. Three transformer models (XLNet, RoBERTa, and ELECTRA) were fine-tuned on a dataset of social media posts labelled with 15 distinct mental health disorders.

A machine learning-based clinical decision support system for effective stratification of gestational diabetes mellitus and management through Ayurveda.

Background: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a metabolic condition that develops in course of pregnancy. The World Health Organization describes it as carbohydrate intolerance that causes hyperglycemia of varying severity and manifests itself or is first noticed during pregnancy. Early prediction is now possible, owing to the application of cutting-edge methods like machine learning.

"Giant cell fibroma of buccal mucosa -an unusual lesion of unusual size": A case report.

Giant cell fibroma is a benign oral fibrous tumour. The clinical appearance of majority of non-neoplastic fibrous growths is similar, but unique histopathological features of giant cell fibroma aid in its final diagnosis. It usually manifests as an asymptomatic, sessile or pedunculated mass usually less than 1 cm in diameter.

Exosomes: Mediators of cellular communication in potentially malignant oral lesions and head and neck cancers.

Exosomes are a unique type of extracellular vesicles that contain a plethora of biological cargo such as miRNA, mRNA, long non-coding RNA, DNA, proteins and lipids. Exosomes serve as very effective means of intercellular communication. Due the presence of a lipid bilayer membrane, exosomes are resistant to degradation and are highly stable.

Inhaled corticosteroids and adverse outcomes among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with community-acquired pneumonia: a population-based cohort study.

Introduction: While inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) may increase pneumonia risk in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the impact of ICS on pneumonia outcomes is debated. We examined whether ICS use is associated with adverse outcomes among COPD patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).

Materials And Methods: Population-based cohort study of all COPD patients with an incident hospitalization for CAP between 1997 and 2013 in Northern Denmark.

Orofacial granulomatosis: A case report and a proposal of a diagnostic algorithm for oral granulomatous lesions.

Orofacial granulomatosis (OFG) is an uncommon chronic inflammatory disorder with multifactorial etiology and pathogenesis affecting the orofacial region which appears usually as a persistent and/or recurrent swelling that may involve one or both the lips and/or recurrent ulcers along with other orofacial features. The diagnosis of OFG is challenging and it should be ruled out from other conditions characterized by granulomatous inflammation. This article describes a case of a 30-year-old female patient with upper lip swelling as the main manifestation without any systemic involvement and we have also laid down a proposal of a diagnostic algorithm for differential diagnoses and treatment modalities for OFG which could be helpful for the clinician and dentists alike to rule out other granulomatous disorders thus in effective management of OFG.

Spalt-like transcription factor 4 expression in oral epithelial dysplasia and oral squamous cell carcinoma: An immunohistochemical appraisal.

Background: Spalt-like transcription factor 4 (SALL4) is a stem cell marker that plays a critical role in maintaining the pluripotency and self-renewal of embryonic and hematopoietic stem cells. Only a few studies have been done to apprehend the expression of SALL4 in the potentially malignant oral lesion (leukoplakia with dysplasia) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the expression of SALL4 in leukoplakia with dysplasia and OSCC and to correlate the expression of the marker (SALL4) with the various clinicopathological parameters and patient outcome.

Elucidating the role of excision repair cross-complement group 1 in oral epithelial dysplasia and early invasive squamous cell carcinoma: An immunohistochemical study.

Objectives: Oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) is characterized by cellular alterations which have the proclivity of progressing to squamous cell carcinoma. Excision repair cross-complement group 1 (ERCC1) is one of the key proteins involved in nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. The expression of ERCC1 has been studied in colorectal, esophageal, ovarian and oral squamous cell carcinoma; but, very few studies have been done to apprehend the expression of ERCC1 in OED and early invasive squamous cell carcinoma (EISCC).

Kapetansky-Juri Technique to Correct the Whistlers Lip in the Multiple Operated Cleft Patient.

Purpose: One of the common sequels of a cleft lip repair may be "whistling lip deformity" but other deformities are also seen particularly in failed or multiple resurgery cases. This retrospective study was carried out to evaluate the usefulness of "Kapetansky-Juri" advancement flap technique to correct such deformities.

Methods: Ten patients of bilateral cleft lip with history of minimum five failed cleft lip surgeries and having residual lip deformity were operated using "Kapetansky-Juri" advancement flap technique and were followed up to minimum 36 months.

Management of Late Post-traumatic Facial Artery Pseudoaneurysmal Cyst: Review of Literature.

Pseudoaneurysms of the branches of the external carotid artery as a result of trauma are rare in oral and maxillofacial surgery practice. The most affected branches are the superficial temporal artery, internal maxillary artery and distal part of facial artery, usually where they pass over the bone. Very few cases of facial artery pseudoaneurysms of proximal parts (from external carotid artery up to the lower border of the mandible) are reported in the literature.

Lingual guttering technique for removal of impacted mandibular third molars.

Background: To assess the clinical feasibility of lingual bone guttering technique for surgical extraction of mandibular third molars.

Materials And Methods: 20 patients with thick lingual cortical plate were included in the study. Surgical extraction of mandibular third molars by lingual bone guttering technique was performed in all the subjects.

Evaluation of Calretinin expression in Ameloblastoma and Non-Neoplastic Odontogenic Cysts - An immunohistochemical study.

Background: Calretinin a 29-kDa calcium binding protein is expressed widely in normal human tissue and tumours including amelobastoma. The objective of this study was to determine calretinin expression in heamatoxylin and eosin diagnosed cases of ameloblastoma and non-neoplastic odontogenic cysts.

Materials & Methods: The lining epithelium in 3 cases of radicular cysts, 5 cases of odontogenic keratocysts, 5 cases of dentigerous cysts and 11 cases of ameloblastomas were examined for expression of calretinin.
