Three-Dimensional Assessment of Collum Angle in Different Sagittal Malocclusions: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction: Assessment of crown-root angulation of the anterior teeth as defined by the collum angle (CA) is crucial for diagnosis and treatment planning. This study was undertaken to evaluate the CA of all anterior teeth within both the maxillary and mandibular arches across various sagittal malocclusions using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Additionally, the secondary aims included investigating sex disparities and side variances in this angular measurement.

Improving the Duration and Rate of Home-Based Kangaroo Mother Care: A Before-and-After Intervention Study.

Introduction Kangaroo mother care (KMC) is an evidence-based, simple, time-tested, low-cost, and high-impact intervention for neonatal survival in hospitals and the community, particularly in resource-constrained areas. This has many beneficial effects on sick and stable low-birth-weight babies, lactating mothers, families, society, and the government. However, despite the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) recommendations for KMC, there is no satisfactory implementation of it in the community as well as in facilities.

Evaluation of various prosthetic materials and newer meshes for hernia repairs.

The use of prosthesis has become essential for repair of all hernias since the recurrence rates are consistently lower when they are used. To fulfill this requirement, a variety of newer meshes have been engineered. An ideal prosthesis should be strong, pliable, non-allergenic, inert, non-biodegradable, non-carcinogenic and should stimulate adequate fibroblastic activity for optimum incorporation into the tissues.
