p53, Cytokeratin 19 Expression in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Correlation with Histopathologic Grading: An Immunohistochemical Study.

Unlabelled: The purpose of this study was to examine the immunohistochemical expression of p53 and cytokeratin 19 (CK19) in normal oral mucosa (NOM) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and their association with histopathological differentiation grade. The secondary goal was to see if there was any correlation between p53 and CK19 expression in NOM and OSCC. A hospital-based retrospective analysis was conducted in which 40 NOM and 45 OSCC samples were acquired from archives and stained with mouse monoclonal antibodies p53 and CK19.

Challenges in Anaesthesia Management of a 15-Year-Old Female With Ovarian Teratoma for Exploratory Laparotomy: A Case Report.

Rarely, an ovarian tumour will develop the growing teratoma syndrome. Growing teratoma syndrome of the cystic type has been linked to difficulties with anaesthesia because of the abdominal pressure the tumour exerts on the thorax. There haven't been any reports of this kind of ovarian tumour associated with ascites and bilateral pleural effusion in a paediatric age group.

A Multidisciplinary Aesthetic Treatment Approach for Peg Lateral of the Maxillary Incisors.

Developmental anomaly of the maxillary lateral incisors most commonly leads to the occurrence of peg lateral. It is a variant of microdontia where the lateral incisors are smaller than the normal size. This appears as unilaterally or bilaterally.

Management of Untreated Horizontal Root Fracture: A Case Report.

Traumatic dental injuries often occur to the teeth and their supporting tissues and they are the main reasons for an emergency visit to a dental clinic. Horizontal root fractures usually are characterized by a fracture line that is perpendicular to the long axis of the root. Root fractures are diagnosed through clinical and radiographic examination.

Association between polarity of first episode and solar insolation in bipolar I disorder.

Objective: Circadian rhythm disruption is commonly observed in bipolar disorder (BD). Daylight is the most powerful signal to entrain the human circadian clock system. This exploratory study investigated if solar insolation at the onset location was associated with the polarity of the first episode of BD I.

Early age at first childbirth and skilled birth attendance during delivery among young women in sub-Saharan Africa.

Background: Despite the numerous policy interventions targeted at preventing early age at first childbirth globally, the prevalence of adolescent childbirth remains high. Meanwhile, skilled birth attendance is considered essential in preventing childbirth-related complications and deaths among adolescent mothers. Therefore, we estimated the prevalence of early age at first childbirth and skilled birth attendance among young women in sub-Saharan Africa and investigated the association between them.

Giant Wharton's duct sialolithiasis causing sialo-oral fistula: a rare case report with literature review.

Giant submandibular sialolithiasis is uncommon and sialoliths causing sialo-oral fistula are rare. We report a case of giant Wharton's duct sialolithiasis causing sialo-oral fistula in a 40 years male who presented with pain and swelling over right side of floor of mouth for more than two years and visualisation of yellow coloured stone like structure at floor of mouth in the last two days. With diagnosis of Submandibular gland sialolithiasis with sialo-oral fistula, sialolithotomy and marsupialization of Wharton's duct was done under local anaesthesia.

Correlation of Mandibular Radiomorphometric Indices with Serum Calcium and Serum Estradiol in Pre- and Post-menopausal Women.

Background: Osteoporosis is a disease that is seen commonly with increasing age. The purpose of this study was to compare the bone quality of pre- and post-menopausal women using the quantitative indices determined by measurements on panoramic radiographs (mental index, inferior and superior panoramic mandibular indices, antegonion index [AGI], and gonion index) and to determine the effects of serum calcium and serum estradiol levels on alveolar bone loss.

Materials And Methods: Sixty female patients in the age group of 25-55 years were included in the study.
