Abstract: Background: Contact lenses as medical devices can be used for vision correction, cosmetic purposes, amongst other uses. Other eye wears like mascara, eye extensions amongst others are utilized especially by females to enhance their beauty. These devices which have some contact with the eyes can predispose the wearer to bacterial contamination and this predisposition is worsened when these devices are administered by non-professionals as is the case with cosmetic....

Abstract: The rehabilitation of structurally compromised endodontically treated teeth remains a significant clinical challenge, given their substantially higher fracture susceptibility compared to vital teeth. Traditional approaches employing cast post-and-core systems with full-coverage restorations often exacerbate tooth weakening and predispose to root fractures. To address these limitations, contemporary minimally invasive techniques utilizing fibre-reinforced composite....

Abstract: Uterine rupture is a rare but life-threatening obstetric emergency, most often associated with a previous cesarean section scar. Maternal and fetal outcomes depend on timely diagnosis and surgical management. We present a case of a 33-year-old gravida 3, para 1, with a history of one previous lower segment cesarean section (LSCS), who presented in labor at 38+4 weeks and subsequently developed uterine rupture with bladder involvement. She underwent emergency laparotomy with uterine and bladder repair. This case highlights the importance of close intrapartum monitoring, early recognition of scar complications, and multidisciplinary surgical intervention..

Abstract: Mucoceles are benign lesions of the oral mucosa, most often affecting the lower lip. Their occurrence on the mandibular alveolar ridge in neonates is extremely rare and may be mistaken for other congenital swellings. We report the case of a healthy full-term neonate presenting with a localized swelling on the anterior mandibular alveolar ridge. History, Clinical evaluation and aspiration cytology findings confirmed a mucocele. Spontaneous resolution with no recurrence at six-month follow-up was noted. This case emphasizes the importance of considering mucoceles in the differential diagnosis of neonatal intraoral swellings and the role of timely management in ensuring favourable functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Abstract: Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a vascular condition that affects the retina's microvasculature causing visual impairment. Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1C) gives the glucose control over 3 months. Thus diabetic retinopathy if identified early, the progression can be avoided and complications can be treated, preventing visual impairment. Objectives: To study the HbA1c values and different grades of Diabetic Retinopathy and to find out other factors like age, sex, duration of disease, blood sugar levels; affecting the grades of diabetic retinopathy in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus.......

Abstract: Non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) serves as the first phase of care in managing periodontal diseases. Its primary goal is to reduce microbial load, resolve inflammation, and prevent further attachment loss through mechanical debridement, complemented by adjunctive measures. Over the decades, numerous clinical trials and longitudinal studies have established the efficacy of NSPT, demonstrating significant improvements in probing depth reduction, clinical attachment gain, and long-term periodontal stability. This review article summarizes the principles, procedures, and outcomes of NSPT, with emphasis on scaling and root planing, patient......

Abstract: Mucormycosis is an aggressive opportunistic fungal infection with high morbidity and mortality, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. We present a rare case of a 51-year-old male with newly diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and hypertension, who developed intracranial mucormycosis with a right temporal lesion. The patient underwent decompressive craniotomy and antifungal therapy, with histopathology confirming mucormycosis. This case emphasizes the importance of early recognition and aggressive management in central nervous system fungal infections, highlighting......
