Three-dimensional printing in maxillofacial surgery: A quantum leap in future.

Although application of three-dimensional (3D) printing in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) was first reported almost 30 years back, reduction in its manufacturing cost and availability of affordable 3D printing devices have popularized its use over the past few years. The 3D-printed objects include anatomical models, occlusal splints, drilling, or cutting guides and patient-specific implants (custom made plates and reconstruction devices). The anatomical model not only assists the surgeon in better understanding of the deformity or pathology but also aids in explaining the same to the patient and relatives.

Estimation of Neural Tissue Mobility in Breast Cancer Survivors with Lymphedema.

Background: Lymphedema in breast cancer survivors is a very common condition which progressively may lead to entrapment  neuropathy. In lymphedema there is accumulation of fluid due to removal of lymph nodes which causes stretching of nerve fibres within the skin, compression on top of the nerve bundle leading to nerve entrapment. This will increase the neural mechanosensitivity and functional impairment of shoulder as a protective neural response to movement or traction.

Background: Tuberculosis is the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent among the HIV-negative population and ranks first among the HIV-positive population. However, few studies have assessed tuberculosis trends in Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) or with an emphasis on HIV status. This study assesses the time trends of tuberculosis mortality across the BRICS with an emphasis on HIV status from 1990 to 2019.

Estimating Ni, Cr, Co, and Mo release from 3 dental casting alloys in saliva and blood at 6 and 12 months by using inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy.

Statement Of Problem: The leaching of elements from long-term definitive prostheses, with saliva acting as an electrolyte, poses a biological concern. The approximate concentration in the biological samples that are considered clinically toxic ranges from 1 to 5000 nmol/L for Cr and Co, 1 to 200 nmol/L for Ni, and 1 to 20 nmol/L for Mo. While in vitro studies are available regarding the leaching of elements in artificial saliva, solutions containing protein, solutions of different pH, and different culture media, the in vivo effects of leaching in the biological sample with increasing time are unknown.
