Comparative Evaluation and Correlation of Periodontal Status With Inflammatory Markers in Pregnant Women With or Without Chronic Periodontitis: A Clinico-Hematological Study.

Background The research delves into the intricate relationship between periodontal health and specific blood biomarkers in pregnant women during their second trimester. It specifically focuses on the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and C-reactive protein (CRP) in those suffering from chronic periodontitis compared to healthy controls. Methodology A detailed approach was taken involving 60 pregnant women categorized into two groups based on the presence or absence of chronic periodontitis.

Diagnosis of pleural tuberculosis by multi-targeted loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay based on SYBR Green I reaction: comparison with GeneXpert® MTB/RIF assay.

Background: Diagnosis of pleural tuberculosis (TB) is tedious owing to its close resemblance with malignant pleural effusion and sparse bacterial load in clinical specimens. There is an immediate need to design a rapid and dependable diagnostic test to prevent unnecessary morbidity/mortality.

Research Design And Methods: A multi-targeted loop-mediated isothermal amplification (MT-LAMP) was deliberated using mpt64 and IS6110 to diagnose pleural TB within pleural fluids/biopsies.

A Literature Review of the Future of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Oral Pathology, and Oral Surgery in the Hands of Technology.

In the realm of dentistry, a myriad of technological advancements, including teledentistry, virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI), and three-dimensional printing, have been extensively embraced and rigorously evaluated, consistently demonstrating their remarkable effectiveness. These innovations have ushered in a transformative era in dentistry, impacting every facet of the field. They encompass activities ranging from the diagnosis and exploration of oral health conditions to the formulation of treatment plans, execution of surgical procedures, fabrication of prosthetics, and even assistance in patient distraction, prognosis, and disease prevention.

Cardiovascular Risk Predictors High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 in Women with Lean Phenotype of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: A Prospective Case-Control Study.

 Accumulating evidence suggests increased cardiovascular risk in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) due to a cluster of factors, such as obesity, lipid abnormalities, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and hypertension. Markers such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) can provide an adjunctive method for the assessment of cardiovascular risk and can indicate future coronary heart diseases in women with lean PCOS.  In this prospective case-control study, women clinically diagnosed with PCOS (  = 25) with normal body mass index (BMI) and age and BMI-matched healthy controls (  = 75) were enrolled.

Study of Relationship Between Iron Deficiency and Thyroid Function in Pregnant Females.

Background: Iron is essential for the normal functioning of thyroid peroxidase and iron deficiency is very commonly encountered during pregnancy. Thyroid disorders and iron deficiency are associated with obstetrical and fetal complications. The aim of the study was to find out the relationship between iron deficiency and thyroid function in pregnant females during first trimester.

Elizabethkingia anophelis Infections: A Case Series From a Tertiary Care Hospital in Uttar Pradesh.

is a gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile rod belonging to the ​​​​​family.  is a genus of bacteria commonly found in the environment worldwide and has been detected in soil, river, water, and reservoirs. Over the period, it has emerged as an opportunistic human pathogen involved in neonatal meningitis and sepsis, as well as nosocomial outbreaks in adults with underlying medical conditions, including malignancies, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Hypertrophic Perianal Herpes Mimicking Squamous Cell Cancer: A Case Report and a Review of the Literature.

Clinical practice frequently involves the discovery of perineal lesions. The human papillomavirus, molluscum contagiosum, and herpes simplex virus are to blame for the majority of these anogenital lesions. In the majority of cases, these lesions may be identified by their distinctive appearance.

Co-Occurrence of Taurodontism in Nonsyndromic Cleft Lip and Palate Patients in Subset of Indian Population: A Case-Control Study Using CBCT.

The present study aimed to assess the co-occurrence of taurodontism in nonsyndromic cleft lip and palate (NSCLP) patients in a subset of Indian population using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The study was a retrospective case-control kinds assessing 1500 CBCT scans over a period of 2 years; 67 scans out of 1500 showed cleft lip and palate (CLP). After fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 38 subjects out of 67 comprised the case group; 80 randomly selected subjects constituted the control group.

Efficacy of Modified Masood Scoring System (MMSS) in Cytological Diagnosis of Breast Lesions.

Introduction: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) breast is generally considered a reliable diagnostic tool to distinguish non-proliferative from proliferative breast lesions. Nevertheless, differentiating these breast lesions on FNAC poses a diagnostic challenge. Modified Masood Scoring System (MMSS) based on cytomorphological examination has been used to help in differentiating these lesions.
