Abstract: Celiac disease is immune related disorder of small bowel which is seen in genetically predisposed people and is due to permanent intolerance to wheat gliadins and other cereal prolamins also known as gluten-sensitive enteropathy or non-tropical sprue. In 1888. It was first described by Dr. Samuel Gee and in Greek means koiliakaos-abdominal. Dicke in 1950 highlighted association between the consumption of bread, cereals and diarrhea which improved after stoppage of wheat intake........

Abstract: Background: Post-extraction alveolar ridge resorption can hinder proper denture fabrication and dental implant placement, which requires a specific minimum bone dimension. Socket preservation techniques, including bone grafts and barrier membranes, aim to mitigate this bone loss. However, the individual roles of bone grafts and barrier membranes in preserving ridge dimensions remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate whether socket preservation using a collagen membrane alone is as effective as the conventional technique involving both a bone graft and a membrane in preserving alveolar ridge height and width following tooth extraction.........

Abstract: The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of ProTaper universal rotary retreatment system compared with a Nickel titanium rotary system in removal of root canal filling material in mandibular premolars with single canals treated with single cone and thermoplasticized obturation techniques. In this study 20 freshly extracted premolars with single canals where selected and the length was standardized to 13 mm. The canals were prepared till 25/0.06 size using NiTi rotary system, and the teeth was divided into two groups: Group 1 and Group 2, in which Group 1 was obturated using single cone technique and group 2 was obturated using thermoplasticized technique. These groups were further subdivided into subgroup A and B. In subgroup.......

Abstract: Abruptio placenta, also referred to as placental abruption, constitutes a significant obstetric emergency characterized by the premature detachment of the placenta from the uterine wall, frequently resulting in both the mother and the fetus morbidity and mortality . This condition is associated with various complications including disseminated intravascular coagulation, hypovolemic shock, and multi-organ dysfunction. Among these complications, acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by abruptio placenta is a rare yet life-threatening condition that necessitates prompt recognition and intervention........

Abstract: AIM: To assess the level of patient satisfaction with behavioural counselling therapy among tobacco users attending counselling sessions in private dental colleges and dental outreach programs in Chennai, and to identify areas of strength and improvement within the counselling process. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted among 384 tobacco users, equally divided between participants from private dental colleges (n=192) and dental outreach programs (n=192). A structured 16-item questionnaire was used to evaluate satisfaction across key counselling parameters such as clarity of information, counsellor empathy, visual aids, reading materials, and perceived impact........

Abstract: Background Neonatal septic shock is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in resource-limited settings. Early identification of high-risk neonates is crucial for improving survival. This study aims to evaluate and compare laboratory predictors of mortality between survivors and non-survivors of neonatal septic shock in a tertiary care center. Methods This prospective observational study included 360 term neonates (≥37 to ≤42 weeks of gestation) diagnosed with septic shock and admitted to the Special Newborn Care Unit (SNCU) at Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal, India, over 18 months. Clinical and laboratory parameters........

Abstract: Total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) using a mixture of propofol and remifentanil in the same syringe is slowly becoming an accepted practice in paediatric anaesthesia. Based on recent study, the safety profile of the propofol and remifentanil mixture has a comparable complication rate as any other anaesthetic techniques, with no specific complication related to mixing of these two drugs 1 . This article provides a comprehensive overview of essential aspects for healthcare providers to ensure patient safety and effective anaesthesia. The text addresses methods for administering a remifentanil-propofol single syringe TIVA to children aged 1 to 16 years. It covers patient selection, required equipment, and precautions for ensuring safe TIVA practices.

Abstract: Background: For the patient's complete denture method to be deemed successful and satisfactory, it must offer the appropriate level of stability and retention. In certain cases, such as significantly atrophied edentulous ridges, patients with Parkinsonism or other neuromuscular control disorders, highly abused or hypertrophied ridge-covering tissue, xerostomia, and craniofacial abnormalities with insufficient tissue support, retention may be a concern. Therefore, a denture adhesive is advised to improve the quality of retention in such a condition.........
