Madhukosha explained two types i.e., Vata and Vata-Kaphaja.
Introduction: B cell receptor (BCR) -mediated signals are enhanced when CD72 expression is deficient on B cells in autoimmune diseases. The significance of soluble CD72 (sCD72) has not been well explained yet.
Methods: Soluble CD72 was analyzed in the serum of 37 Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, 27 had lupus nephritis and 10 had no nephritis. Correlations between sCD72 and SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) and other activity indices were assessed.
Gingival enlargement also synonyms with the terms gingival hyperplasia or gingival hypertrophy, can be defined as an abnormal growth of gingival tissue. The present case report describes a case of a longstanding gingival enlargement in a young male involving lower interior region. Surgical therapy was carried out to provide a good aesthetic outcome. No recurrence was reported at the end of 10thmonth recall.
Nucleotide analogues have the potential to cause mitochondrial (mt) toxicity which may lead to the development of lactic acidosis (LA). Tenofovir, a nucleotide analogue-induced LA is extremely rare because of its low affinity for mt DNA polymerase. We report a rare case of tenofovir and lamivudine causing severe hepatitis and lactic acidosis, resulting in death in a seropositive patient with an identifiable risk factor of very low CD4 count.
PTCA is widely practiced and has risks, but major procedural complications are rare.
Context: Dynamic Coronary Roadmap (DCR, Philips Healthcare, The Netherlands) is a novel technology that allows the users to see a moving roadmap of the coronary anatomy displayed on top of live fluoroscopy to provide guidance during navigation and positioning of devices.
Background: SARS COV-2 virus causes severe acute respiratory syndrome. This viral infection that originated in Wuhan has rapidly spread to the entire world and led to an outbreak of a pandemic. As the dentist and the dental assistant team are in vicinity of oral cavity, which can be a source of infection, a survey was carried out to study the safety protocols followed by the dentists in the present situation during the outbreak of COVID-19 infection.
Oromandibular reconstruction continues to be a challenge for head and neck reconstructive surgeon. Composite resection after neoplasm results in large soft tissue and bony defects. Microvascular free flap reconstruction after a major head & neck oncological resection is getting popular because of better functional outcome, improved aesthetics & fairly higher success rate. Many techniques are available for functional and aesthetic restoration with osteocutaneous and faciocutaneous free flaps.
Aim: To determine the micro leakage of fourth and fifth generation dentin bonding agents.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the gingiva accounts for 6% to 10% of squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity. Due to the small thickness of the gingiva, the tumor easily infiltrates the underlying bone and can spread to the periodontal ligament, the floor of the oral cavity, the cheek or the palate. In edentulous jaws, the tumor may more easily invade the alveolar nerve or infiltrate the maxillary sinus.
Background: Shoulder Osteoarthritis is one of the type of arthritis primarily affecting the elderly as a degenerative and neurological condition with symptoms being pain and disability. As per Ayurveda perspective, it is considered as Sandhigata vata of the shoulder joint. Modern approachcomes with wide range of modalities such as analgesics, muscle relaxants, steroids, physiotherapies, and even operative procedures but none of them gives satisfactory and permanent results to relieve.
