Unveiling the Enigma: The Rare Non-Calcifying Variant of Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor.

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT), first identified by Jens Jorgen Pindborg in 1955, is a rare developmental odontogenic tumor, accounting for approximately 0.4% of all such tumors and most commonly occurring in the third and fourth decades of life. A 63-year-old man presented with a painful swelling in the right lower face, which had progressively enlarged over four months.

Low-Grade Chondroid Variant Osteosarcoma: A Rare Case Report and Diagnostic Insights.

Osteosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor that primarily affects the jaw bones, with the low-grade chondroid variant being an uncommon subtype that often mimics benign lesions. This case report details the clinical presentation, histopathological findings, radiographic evidence, and treatment approach for a 23-year-old male who presented with recurrent gingival growth and pain in the lower anterior region. Initially misdiagnosed as a pyogenic granuloma, further evaluation revealed the presence of low-grade chondroid variant osteosarcoma.

The Future of Biometrics: Exploring Tongue Print Technology and Applications.

Tongue print identification has emerged as a promising biometric modality due to the distinctiveness and stability of tongue features. This article provides an in-depth exploration of tongue prints as a viable means of personal identification, emphasizing its anatomical uniqueness and biometric advantages. By examining the anatomy of the tongue, the methodologies for tongue print acquisition, and the technological advancements in tongue print recognition systems, this article highlights the potential applications and contemporary challenges of tongue print biometrics in healthcare, security, and forensic science.

Granular Cell Ameloblastoma: A Rare Threat Requiring Vigilance and Lifelong Follow-Up.

This case report describes a 45-year-old male who presented with mobility and dull pain in the lower right back tooth region for two months. Initially diagnosed with localized periodontitis at a private clinic, the patient sought a second opinion. Clinical examination revealed slight obliteration of the buccal vestibule and mobility in teeth 45 and 46.

The Unforeseen Revelation of Dentigerous Cyst.

Dentigerous cysts frequently develop as odontogenic cysts in the oral cavity that can occasionally progress to neoplasms. Tumor from dentigerous cysts is uncommon, with only 42 occurrences documented in the literature. This case report describes a 73-year-old male who developed primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma after a dentigerous cyst.

Hepatoprotective Role of Eclipta alba against High Fatty Diet Treated Experimental Models - A Histopathological Study.

Background: The hepatic injury due to oxidative stress was ameliorated through administration of an aqueous extract of Eclipta alba leaves and suggested that wedelolactone and demethylwedelolactone were the possible components of Eclipta alba behind the protective effect on liver as well as against liver disorders.

Objective: To study the hepato-protective effects of Eclipta alba on high fatty diet treated experimental models.

Material And Methods: A total of 30 adult albino rats of Wistar strain weighing 165-215 grams, from the animal house of the Basaveshwara Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, Chitradurga, were used for the present study: group 1 included animals fed with normal diet (control); group 2, animals treated with hyperlipidemic diet for eight weeks; group 3, animals treated with hyperlipidemic diet for eight weeks, followed by one week post treatment of Eclipta alba with normal diet; group 4, animals treated with hyperlipidemic diet for eight weeks, followed by two weeks post-treatment of Eclipta alba with normal diet; and group 5, animals treated with hyperlipidemic diet for eight weeks, followed by three weeks posttreatment of Eclipta alba with normal diet.
