The clinical practice of endodontic therapy is relatively common, especially in the anterior of the mouth, with easy access to cavities and in cases of mechanical debridement. However, problems such as perforation of the root canal can occur during treatment, and can cause periodontal tissue damage and esthetic problems. The treatment of root canal perforation consists of periodontal and endodontic therapy, as well as selecting the best material for perforation repair. This is a case report of iatrogenic root perforation on an anterior tooth that required combined restorative, periodontal, surgical, and endodontic approaches. The case describes the use of a subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) on a resin ionomer-restored root surface for the treatment of root perforation and periodontal damage caused by an iatrogenic procedure, with a 12-month follow-up. This case report shows that SCTG can successfully treat root perforations associated with a resin ionomer-restored root surface.

Premise: The ability of plants to adapt or acclimate to climate change is inherently linked to their interactions with symbiotic microbes, notably fungi. However, it is unclear whether fungal symbionts from different climates have different impacts on the outcome of plant-fungal interactions, especially under environmental stress.
Methods: We tested three provenances of fungal inoculum (originating from dry, moderate or wet environments) with one host plant genotype exposed to three soil moisture regimes (low, moderate and high).
Background: Immunization clinics present an opportunity for passive screening for malnutrition among young children through plotting of growth charts. Passive screening for malnutrition can enable timely interventions and improve morbidity and mortality of under-five children. Therefore, we aimed to increase the plotting of growth charts (weight-for-age) to 90%, among under-five children attending immunization clinics in an Urban Health Centre (UHC) in south Delhi over three months.

Objectives: Apical periodontitis (AP) is an inflammatory immune response in periapical tissues caused by microbial infections. Failure of root canal treatment or delayed healing is often due to intracanal or extra-radicular bacteria. However, beyond microbial factors, the patient's systemic health can significantly influence the progression and healing of AP.

Drought and heat stress significantly limit crop growth and productivity. Their simultaneous occurrence, as often observed in summer crops, leads to larger yield losses. Sorghum is well adapted to dry and hot conditions.

Background: Evaluating the correlation between degenerative meniscus tears and medial meniscus extrusion is necessary to determine the appropriate treatment plan for early-stage knee osteoarthritis. This study evaluated the relationship between degenerative meniscal tears and medial meniscus extrusion in early-stage knee osteoarthritis by using ultrasonography.
Methods: A total of 132 knees from 123 patients with early-stage knee osteoarthritis were evaluated retrospectively.
