An update on possible alternative therapeutics for future periodontal disease management.

Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease caused by microbial infections of the gum. At an advanced stage, periodontitis can even destroy the alveolar bone. Fusobacterium nucleatum, Prevotella intermedia, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Capnocytophaga gingivalis, and Pr.

A Rare Case of Extralaryngeal Schwannoma Arising from the Superior Laryngeal Nerve.

Schwannomas are the most common neurogenic tumours arising in the parapharyngeal space. Usually they arise from the vagus nerve but rarely have an extralaryngeal presentation arising from the superior laryngeal nerve. In the case reported here, cytology could not confirm the diagnosis and imaging could not identify the nerve of origin.

Drug loaded bi-layered sponge for wound management in hyperfibrinolytic conditions.

Excessive bleeding due to premature clot lysis and secondary bacterial wound infection are two significant problems that contribute to increased morbidity in patients with hyperfibrinolytic conditions. In this study, we have developed a bi-layered sponge that promotes fibrin clot stability and prevents secondary bacterial wound infections. Using the technique of freeze-drying, a bi-layer matrix consisting of hyaluronic acid (HA) containing aminocaproic acid (amicar) and chitosan containing tetracycline loaded O-carboxymethyl chitosan nanoparticles (Tet-O-CMC NPs) were produced.
