Aim: Osteoporotic patients require particular attention during implant placement, and bone density has been established as a simple method to assess local bone quality and primary implant stability. This study aimed to examine and significantly correlate the relationship of local bone density volumetric analysis as assessed by the CBCT in a group of osteopenic and osteoporotic patients. Materials and Methods:A total of 30 patients were included in the study.

Conventional fixed partial dentures, implant supported Fixed Partial Dentures (FDPs) and removable partial dentures are the most common treatment modalities for the aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of partially edentulous patients. Hard and soft tissue undercuts are frequently encountered in the fabrication of prosthesis in partially as well as completely edentulous arches. Removable cast partial dentures are used as definitive removable prostheses when indicated, but location of clasps may affect aesthetics.

A prospective study to observe thehistopathological findings in Aluminium PhosphidePoisoning was undertaken on 70 autopsy cases conducted at S. S. Medical College, Rewaand associated Gandhi Memorial Hospital. Aluminium Phosphide poisoning hasbecome the commonest poisoning in central India over the last few years.

The objective of the present work was the synthesis of 2- (2, 3, 4, and 5 substituted phenyl) 3-hydroxy-4H-Chromen-4-one and evaluation of in-vitro antimicrobial activity. Based on this a new series of compound had been planned to synthesize by reacting 2-hydroxy acetophenone and various aromatic aldehydes in the presence of potassium hydroxide, methanol and 30% hydrogen peroxide. The synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, NMR, and Mass spectroscopy.

Background: Mechanical Neck Dysfunction (MND) affects about two thirds of people in middle age with common cause of bad posture in people who spent much of their working day at a desk with a bent-forward posture. Purpose: To compare the efficacy of kinesio taping versus phonphoresis on neck pain intensity, cervical ROM and neck disability in patients with MND. Design: pre - posttest experimental design Methods: 45 patients with MND participated in this study, their age ranged from 20-45 years.

Coronary Artery Disease is one of the most important life threatening ailment in modern world. Single artery block ≥ 70% requires stent implantation for revascularization point of view. One hundred patients of single vessel coronary artery disease (SV-CAD) were underwent full medical treatment for one and half years in place of revascularization. They refused revascularization due to their financial constraint.

Introduction: Nearly one million people commit suicide worldwide every year (i.e. one suicide every 40 seconds) compared to approximately 400000 suicides every year, a decade earlier.

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between BMI and BP (SBP and DBP) among university students in Maiduguri, Nigeria. A sample of convenience was used to recruit participants for this study. Data on gender, height, weight, BMI and BP were obtained using a researcher-developed data form. Blood pressure, height and weight of the participants were measured using standardised procedures.

Papanicolaou screening is the standard of care for detection of abnormal cervical cell. Cervical cells are susceptible to change as a result of hormonal exposure and this has the potential to affect cytologic interpretation. The purpose of this study was to examine the accuracy of cervical cytology finding in women using progesterone only contraception as compared to women who used no contraception. Material and methods- A total of 162 women were screened over a period of 3 years. Cytology and histology were done to find out sensitivity and specificity.

Background: Vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Both hypovitaminosis D and Type 2 DM are prevalent health problems among Saudi population. Ethnic and gender differences in the association between vitamin D status and type 2 DM were reported. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine vitamin D status in Saudi diabetic women as compared to that of age and BMI matched healthy women. Methods: A total of 120 women, 60 diabetic and 60 age and BMI matched control, were enrolled for this study.
