Background: Diabetes mellitus is an endocrine disorder which increases susceptibility of an individual towards oral candidiasis. Chlorhexidine (CHX) is considered as a choice of treatment to prevent oral candidiasis but the long term use of chlorhexidine results into adverse effects. So, citrus aurantium (bitter orange) has been proved to be effective against candidiasisin many in-vitro studies and has no known side-effects.
Allopurinolis a xanthine oxidase inhibitorand is themainstay in thetreatment of hyperuricemia. The incidence of drug hypersensitivity reaction with allopurinol is 2%.When a drug hypersensitivity reactionoccurs, the best course of action for such patients is to discontinue the culpritdrug and to pass on alternative drugs. However, in cases where there is no alternative treatment or the effectiveness of alternative treatment is significantly lower, desensitization protocols can be used. Slow and rapid desensitization protocols are available in the literature for allopurinol.
Obesity is one of the most common disorders of metabolism in human beings having increasing prevalence in both developed and developing countries. The dramatic increase in the prevalence of obesity and its strong association with cardiovascular disease world over has resulted in unprecedented interest in understanding the effects of obesity on the cardiovascular system. From the present study we concluded that in young overweight and obese adult subjects systolic function was rather improved but none of these subjects were having diastolic dysfunction except IVRT on echocardiography.
Introduction- Stress affects an individual’s productivity and efficiency either by increasing or decreasing it. This varies because stress is handled in different ways among different people. Weak academic performance and high failure rate remains a persistent problem. Aim and Objectives- To assess the levels of stress among first-year medical students and appropriate stress relieving measures adopted by them. Materials and Methods- This study was an institution-based, cross-sectional study.
Background: P. aeruginosa continues to be a major cause of nosocomial infection. The emergence of resistance to β-lactam antibiotics is by production of different classes of β-lactamases.
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of extended‑spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), AmpC β-lactamase, and metallo‑β-lactamase (MBL) enzymes in clinical isolates of P.aeruginosa.
Objective:
1. To compare the Biomedical waste practices among the young and experienced dental practitioners.
2. To compare the Biomedical waste practices between the MDS and BDS practitioners.
Aim of the study: To assess the knowledge, attitude and practices on Bio-medical waste management
among practicing dentists in Visakhapatnam city.
Aims and Objective: Oral potentially malignant disorders are one of the most ubiquitous lesions worldwide today. Leukoplakia is one of the most common potentially malignant disorders, which if not treated, can be lethal. Turmeric and its active ingredient “curcumin” are being studied upon as chemopreventive agents in oral leukoplakia. Curcumin is the most active ingredient of turmeric and it exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pro-apoptotic activities. The purpose of study was to evaluate the efficacy of curcumin in oral leukoplakia in systemic form.
Aims of Study: This study was planned to evaluate the efficacy, hemodynamic changes, patient comfort and safety during awake fiberoptic intubation done under combined regional blocks vs conscious sedation.
A 11 year old female patient was brought to casualty peadiactric ward with complaint of swelling lips, shortness of breath 30 minutes after ingestion of tablet artimither 40 mg and lumefantrine 240 mg in combination.

The patient was diagnosed as a case of anaphylactic shock and treated with Inj. Adrenaline 0.3 mg i.v., Inj. Hydrocortisone 100 mg i.v., Inj. Pheniramine 4.5 mg i.v. and intravenous fluids.
Introduction: Iron transport across placenta occurs against concentration gradient and is energy dependent process. Growth restricted fetuses have increased iron demand due to accelerated erythropoiesis. This study was carried out tofind out iron status and RBC indices in term growth restricted neonates Method: Prospective analytical blinded study at a tertiary care hospital. 30 full term Asymmetrical Small for Gestation Age (ASGA) and 30 Full Term Appropriate for Gestation Age (AGA) infants were enrolled in the study.
