Background: Present article was an attempt to study correlation of scientometrics and altmetrics of scholarly output of Medical Journal Armed Forces India (MJAFI) during the period from 2010 to 2018.
Methods: The study was carried out by "DIMENSIONS", Webometric Analyst 4.1, VOSviewer, version 1.
Defects of the cranial vault can result from the decompressive craniectomy secondary to trauma, cerebral infections, resection of intracranial processes, or bone invading skin tumors. Reconstruction of the cranial vault not only provides protection and esthetic reasons but also maintains and restores physiological circulatory system of the cerebrum essential for the regulation of intracranial pressure. This paper presents prosthetic rehabilitation of two patients, who suffered head injury resulting in extensive frontoparieto temporal defects that induced symptoms such as headache, fatigue, loss of concentration, loss of memory, and depression.

Methods: Data sources: A systematic literature search was performed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines from database inception till August 2020 in MEDLINE-PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Science Direct, Google Scholar and a manual search in the institutional library. Study eligibility criteria, participants and intervention: All available literature published in English, with a minimum of six human subjects with well-defined age range either 7-14.
The aim of this study was to quantify upper airway changes following mandibular orthognathic surgery. Treatment records of 50 patients who underwent mandibular orthognathic surgery were divided into 2 groups, that is, Group 1: Cases treated with Mandibular Advancement Surgery and Group 2: Cases treated with Mandibular Setback Surgery with 25 patients in each group. The Lateral Cephalogram and Acoustic Pharyngometry records of both groups were studied at T0 (01 week before surgery) and T1 (01 year postsurgery) for changes in linear airway measurements (Nasopharyngeal Airway Space - NAS, Superior Airway Space - SAS, Posterior Airway Space - PAS and Hypopharyngeal Airway Space (HAS)), hyoid bone position (Mandibular Plane Hyoid distance), mean area and mean volume.

Materials And Methods: Eccovision acoustic pharyngometry and rhinometry (Sleep Group Solutions) was used for assessment of mean area and volume of nasal and upper airway in patients with complete unilateral CLP (age range 16-21 years) treated with NAM (group 1, n = 19) versus without NAM (group 2, n = 22).
Results: The mean nasal cross-sectional areas and volume were higher in group 1 compared to group 2 on both cleft ( value <.
Introduction: The increased use of organophosphorus (OP) pesticides and the ever increasing possibility of terror groups using nerve agents underscore a need to develop effective and safe antidotes against OP poisoning. The objectives of the present study were to develop a novel atropine sulfate (AS) sublingual injection formulation, to create its bioavailability data in humans and to evaluate its suitability for field use with a view to obtain early therapeutic drug concentration in comparison to the conventional intramuscular route that provides a therapeutic peak of 6 to 8 ng/mL in blood at 30 minutes.
Methods: Two milligrams per 0.
