Achieving negative superficial resection margins with NBI and white light in carcinoma oral cavity: Could it be a norm?

Introduction: In India, oral cavity cancer rates are the highest, largely due to tobacco and areca nut use. The primary goal of oncologic surgery is complete tumor resection with adequate margins, yet no accepted guidelines exist margin identification. NBI enhances mucosal lesion detection and may improve margin assessment in OSCC.

Healing potential of Picrorhiza kurroa (Scrofulariaceae) rhizomes against indomethacin-induced gastric ulceration: a mechanistic exploration.

Background: The present study was undertaken to evaluate the potential of the rhizomes of the Indian medicinal plant, Picrorhiza kurroa in healing indomethacin-induced acute stomach ulceration in mice and examine its capacity to modulate oxidative stress and the levels of prostaglandin (PGE2) and EGF during the process.

Methods: Male swiss albino mice, ulcerated with indomethacin (18 mg/kg, p. o.
