Abstract: Preterm1 is defined as babies born alive before 37 weeks of pregnancy are completed. Preterm labour is increasing perinatal morbidity and mortality in constant manner.There are sub-categories of preterm birth, based on gestational age:extremely preterm (<28 weeks),very preterm (28 to <32 weeks),moderate to late preterm (32 to <37 weeks).

Abstract: Dental education in India has traditionally placed a greater emphasis on biomedical knowledge for dentists, with less emphasis on interpersonal skills and the ability to interact to patients. This study studied the emotional intelligence and empathy of undergraduate dental students, as well as their relationships with numerous parameters, in order to establish a baseline for future research in this field. Methodology: Third year, final year, and interns of D Y Patil Dental School in Pune were given the BarOn Emotional Quotient-Inventory (BarOn EQ-i®) and the empathy formative questionnaire, as well as a socio demographic questionnaire. SPSS 20 was used to analyse the data........

Abstract: Introduction: Tubercular (TB) osteomyelitis of clavicle is extremely rare. When it does occur, it commonly occurs in the medial aspect of clavicle and involves the sternoclavicular joint. It may occur in the absence of pulmonary or systemic findings. Case Report: We describe a case of TB osteomyelitis of distal clavicle in a 35-year-old female, who presented with a chronic non-healing wound with draining sinus from the tip of left shoulder since 6 months. Conclusion: A high degree of suspicion can aid the diagnosis of TB osteomyelitis in cases that present without pulmonary findings and occur in atypical locations. Early anti-tubercular therapy supplemented with physiotherapy can lead to improved patient outcomes.

Abstract: Background: Mandibular angle fractures are treated surgically by either rigid or semi-rigid fixation. Treatment of angle fractures has more complications because of the complex biomechanics of the angle region, including a thin cross-sectional area, abrupt change in the curvature, attachment of masticatory muscles, and the presence of third molar teeth. It requires three-dimensional stability. The two perpendicular mini-plate techniques can three-dimensionally control the fracture lines. There are various treatment options for angle fracture but no well-accepted protocol has yet been developed. This study was designed with the aim of evaluating the efficiency of two perpendicular non-compression mini plates as an effective fixation method for mandibular angle fracture......

Abstract: A 25-year-old female came with a complaint of epigastric pain for a year with soft, non-tender abdomen and per rectally, a fluctuant cystic extrinsic swelling behind the rectal wall was found. Ultrasonography revealed cholelithiasis along with a well-defined, heterogenous echotexture mass of 68*45 mm lying posterior to the urethra. CECT abdomen (fig 1) showed a well-defined, predominantly hypoechoic lesion with foci of calcification in its wall in the right ischio-rectal fossa region extending up to tip of the coccyx inferiorly, levator ani muscle superiorly and external anal sphincter medially.

Abstract: Background: One of the most important decisions one will ever make is choosing career option. The role of learning is recognized because of its significance in ensuring professional skills, effective patient care and career progress . So, the awareness about various career options after bachelor of dental surgery (BDS) plays an important role in achieving professional security. Materials and methods: The study was conducted among 322 dental students in Priyadharshini dental college and hospital, Tiruvallur, Tamilnadu. Students from first year to interns were included in the study. A standardized, self-administered questionnaire consisting of 15 close-ended multiple choice questions was distributed and the received data were analysed.

Keywords: Career choice, career option, dental education, dental graduates, future career.

Abstract: The success of removable prostheses is determined by a variety of characteristics, notably retention, stability, support, aesthetics, and masticatory performance. Greater intraoral inter-arch distance contributes to an increased bulk of the prosthesis. Increased intraoral inter-arch distance results in an increase in prosthesis weight. This could jeopardize the retention and resistance of the removable prosthesis, both of which are essential for its success. To reduce the bulk of a prosthesis, several procedures, materials, and methods have been documented. This article explains a simple, unique, and single-flask procedure to create a maxillary denture that is lightweight using a biostar template as a 3D spacer.

Abstract: Arachnoid cysts are benign developmental collections of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Arachnoid cysts are not very common more markedly arachnoid cysts of the cerebellopontine angle and are mostly asymptomatic. These arachnoid cysts comprise approximately 1% of all intracranial space occupying lesions [1]. Arachnoid cysts are considered developmental anomaly of the arachnoid membrane and arise from membrane duplication & splitting. Arachnoid cysts may also occur in other regions of the brain like suprasellar cistern or quadrigeminal cistern with middle cranial fossa being the most common site of occurrence with CPA being the next common site .Arachnoid cysts can expand & may cause signs & symptoms due to compression produced on the surrounding neural structures or increasing intracranial pressure.........

Abstract: Background: Despite of various treatment modalities available, haemorrhoids are commonly encountered conditions at surgery departments with poor satisfaction, recurrence and low quality of life of the patients because of pain and discomfort associated with it. Objective: To evaluate efficacy, safety and outcome of injection polidocanol (3%) as sclerosant in treatment of haemorrhoids Methodology: Total 60 patients haemorrhoids meeting inclusion-exclusion criteria were divided into two groups of injection sclerotherapy (3% polidocanol) and conservative management. Demographic parameters, duration of symptoms, degree of haemorrhoids, patient outcome and adverse events were recorded and compared for both the groups...........
