A Comparative Evaluation of the Anxiolytic Effect of Oral Midazolam and a Homeopathic Remedy in Children During Dental Treatment.

Background Midazolam is recommended by many health standards. However, there is no compelling evidence that midazolam has anti-anxiety effects in children. Homeopathy can be one of the mainstays for effective child management while reducing negative side effects.

Clinical Significance of Körner's Septum in Relation to Occurrence of Squamous Chronic Otitis Media.

The Körner's septum (KS), persistent petrosquamosal lamina, is a bony lamina (developmental remnant) that extends from the articular fossa to the mastoid apex, above the middle ear, and runs inferiorly and laterally to the facial nerve canal. The petrous and squamous bones meet at this septum. The anatomical structure of KS, which most frequently occurs at the level of the head of the malleus and/or the anterior semicircular canal, is described in depth in this work.

Goal-Oriented Physiotherapy Protocol of a 55-Year Male With Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Tongue: A Case Report.

Although oral cancer is well-known, the occurrence rate of the disease varies greatly globally. Squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue, which frequently starts in the lateral tongue, is the most common kind of oral cancer. In this instance, a male patient was found to have squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue and had undergone surgery.

Review of Sensory Integration Therapy for Children With Cerebral Palsy.

Cerebral palsy (CP) refers to a group of non-progressive brain disorders. Several different approaches are used to treat cerebral palsy children like neurodevelopmental therapy (NDT), sensory integration therapy (SIT), and hippotherapy. Sensory integration therapy is a clinically based approach that places an emphasis on the relationship between the therapist and the child and uses play-based sensory and motor activities to encourage analysis and integration.

Iontophoresis as an Effective Drug Delivery System in Dentistry: A Review.

Iontophoresis is a non-invasive method to improve drug delivery by the application of an electric field. The iontophoresis process causes deeper penetration of ions using electric current. The drug delivered through iontophoresis was found to be around 10 to 2,000 times more than conventional forms of delivery.
