HE4, Human epididymis protein is a whey acidic domain containing protein. It has serine protease inhibitor activity and also provides immunity against microorganisms. HE4 has emerged as a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer. Limited success has been achieved using CA125 (Cancer Antigen 125), which is the only biomarker used for ovarian cancer. CA125 shows low sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of early stage ovarian cancer (OC). HE4 has major advantage over CA125 as it helps to distinguish malignant masses from benign one.

Sexual dysfunction with limitation of sexual functioning is an important long-term consequence seen in males and females alike. The cause of dysfunction is also multifactorial.

Aim: The purpose of this in-vitro study was to compare the incidence of deviation in curved canals after negotiation and glide path preparation with hand K-files, SafeSider reamers and Path files.Methodology:45 ISO #15, 0.02-tapered, curved Endo Training Blocks were used in this study. Samples were assigned to 3 different groups(n = 15). Group A: Stainless steel hand K-files; Group B: Stainless steel hand SafeSider reamers and Group C: Rotary NiTiPathFiles. Pre instrumentation image of each sample was captured with stereomicroscope.

Background: Studies on the level of adherence to folic acid (FA) and factors associated were limited in number and showed discrepancy within the same area and among different populations. By detecting these factors, there will be a possibility to improve the compliance and then decrease in the prevalence of undesirable outcomes as NTD. The health care providers have an important role in this adherence.
