Purpose: This systematic review has been undertaken to highlight the unforgettable contributions of Prof. Brånemark Per-Ingvar (PI). It could be understood that reviewing his work would give an idea of growth of this treatment modality. Materials and Methods: An electronic search on the PubMed/Medline, Ebscohost, and Cochrane database was done using search term "Brånemark PI" to identify his publications. Articles published in English and only related to implants and osseointegration were included. Screening of the titles and abstracts were done according to inclusion criteria and suitable studies were included in the review.
Results: The initial literature search resulted in 187 articles, out of which 92 articles were excluded due to not meeting the inclusion criteria and 16 articles excluded due to non-availability of even abstract also. A total of 79 articles were finally included in this review.
Conclusion: Brånemark PI had a great vision of future; who considered edentulism as equal to amputation and came up with the concept of osseointegrated implants to overcome them. The innovations of Brånemark had assured the world that it is very much possible to provide implant-supported prosthesis in any situations for the rehabilitation of the individuals.

Background: Gamma desynchronization is an early pathophysiological event in Alzheimer's disease with a disturbance in oscillation in the gamma frequency range 30-80 Hz. This disruption was found to be directly related to the disease progression and severity. Thus, the use of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) possessed greater interest.

Intubation of patients requiring cervical spine immobilization can be challenging. Recently, the use of C-MAC video laryngoscopes (VL) has increased in popularity over direct laryngoscopy (DL). We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of C-MAC VL as compared with DL for intubation in C-spine immobilized patients.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and the most common form of dementia. Although AD is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), it's estimated that nearly half of AD cases might be attributed to modifiable risk factors and lifestyle-based interventions may offer promising preventative strategies to delay disease onset and progression. Polyphenolic derivatives easily found in foods like luteolin and curcumin have shown beneficial effects to counteract cognitive decline.
