Machine learning techniques for periodontitis and dental caries detection: A narrative review.

Objectives: In recent years, periodontitis, and dental caries have become common in humans and need to be diagnosed in the early stage to prevent severe complications and tooth loss. These dental issues are diagnosed by visual inspection, measuring pocket probing depth, and radiographs findings from experienced dentists. Though a glut of machine learning (ML) algorithms has been proposed for the automated detection of periodontitis, and dental caries, determining which ML techniques are suitable for clinical practice remains under debate.

Revisiting the cortisol reference ranges in humans: the role of demographics.

The current study explores the effect of demographics on serum cortisol expression in a study group of 52 individuals to improve the current serum reference ranges to produce personalized expression profiles consequently increasing clinical confidence in the diagnosis. The serum cortisol concentration was inspected against demographical data like age, sex, and body mass index and showed an association with age and sex. The serum cortisol values also indicated a positive association with chronic illnesses however this finding requires a more focused study for establishment.

GSTM1 null polymorphism prevalence in tobacco users, oral leukoplakia and oral squamous cell carcinoma patients in South Indian population: A polymerase chain reaction study.

Context: Tobacco abuse is a well-known risk factor for potentially malignant disorders as well as oral squamous cell carcinoma. Factors that influence tobacco-exposed individuals developing a malignancy may include the combination of total tobacco exposure and genetic susceptibility.

Aim: This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of the glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) null polymorphism in oral leukoplakia and oral squamous cell carcinoma patients in South Indian population.

Prevalence of glutathione S-transferase M1 null polymorphism in tobacco users, oral leukoplakia and oral squamous cell carcinoma patients in South Indian population: A polymerase chain reaction study.

Context: Tobacco abuse is a well-known risk factor for potentially malignant disorders as well as oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Factors that influence tobacco-exposed individuals developing a malignancy may include a combination of total tobacco exposure and genetic susceptibility.

Aim: This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of the glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) null polymorphism in oral leukoplakia and oral SCC patients in South Indian population.

Crouzons syndrome: a case report with review of literature.

Louis Edouard Octave Crouzon, a French neurologist, in 1912, described the hereditary syndrome of craniofacial synostosis in a mother and son. He described the triad as skull deformities, facial anamolies and exopthalmos now known as Crouzon syndrome (CS). CS accounts for about 4.
