<![CDATA[Oral lichen planus(OLP) is a common chronic mucocutaneous disorder with an immune mediatedpathogenesis. Etiology of OLP is unknown, but it is thought to be the result of an autoimmune process withan unknown predisposing factor. The clinical presentation of OLP ranges from mild painless white keratoticlesions to painful erosions and ulcerations. It has various oral manifestations with the reticular type beingthe most common. The erosive and atrophic variants are less common but most likely to cause symptoms.Topical corticosteroids constitute the mainstay for symptomatic lesions of OLP. The aim of this study is toinvestigate the prevalence of reticular variant of oral lichen planus.Materials and Methods: In the presentstudy a total of 68 patients were included. The demographic, clinical and treatment details were recorded. Allthe collected data was analyzed by SPSS IBM software Results: Among 63 patients with OLP 60.3% werefemales showing a bilateral involvement in the buccal mucosa (92.1%) with P<0.05. The reticular variantconstituted (37.1 %) of all the total cases and erosive variant was the most common (57.1%).Corticosteroidswere the most common drug. Conclusion:Within the limitations of the study it is evident that OLP has morefemale prevalence, erosive form was more frequent followed by the reticular form of Lichen planus. Buccalmucosa was the most commonly affected site and majority of the patients were treated using Corticosteroids.]]>

<![CDATA[Oral cancer and oropharyngeal cancer represent a large group disorder that falls into the head and neckcategory and is considered as the most leading cause of death in developing countries. The prime reasonfor the high mortality rate of patients suffering from oral cancer is the delay in the diagnosis of the type andgrade of oral cancer and also in the offering of prompt treatment. A report from India demonstrated that 35%of oral squamous carcinoma contains H-ras gene mutations which are an oncogene. Advances in the field ofoncogenes have created an instrument to examine the various phases of carcinogenesis, including progressfrom premalignant to metastatic stages. These systems have direct importance to oral malignancy wherethe precancerous stage is very much characterized. Primer investigations into the articulation and capacityof oncogenes recommend anomalies including the individual proliferation of at least three kinds of theseoncogenes. Some of the oncogenes associated with oral cancer are studied in this article and the factorscontributing to its molecular basis like chromosome instability and telomerase activity are also discussedbriefly. There are many risk factors and other predisposing factors that may affect the diagnosis, prognosis,and progression of oral cancer and are also discussed in this article.]]>

<![CDATA[The term LASER is an acronym for ‘Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation’. The first laser was introduced in the 1960’s by Miaman. Laser is used to treat a number of various dental conditions like composite restorations etc.. It is most commonly used in restorations for treating hypersensitivity, tooth decay, gum diseases and whitening teeth. Various kinds of lasers such as ND:YAG, Er:YAG, Er:Cr:YSGG are used in various dental procedures. Laser seems to be made for effective removal of dentine and enamel with only minor side effects such as thermal damage. The capability of Er:YAG lasers for the removal of hard tissues in dentistry was exhibited as of now in 1989, Er:YAG (erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet) lasers have been progressively utilized in dental practices and are turning out to be increasingly more an agreeable technique for caries evacuation for patients, as conventional cavity drilling may cause noise and pain. Laser received FDA approval for caries removal and cavity preparations. The use of laser therapy also seems to be promising from many recent researchers. Laser therapy induces surface roughness or even improves bond strength or decreases marginal leakage. There seems to be a general consensus on the fact that Er:YAG is one of the best suited types of lasers because it’s efficiency in dentine is very good without any damage of pulp. Er:YAG lasers are a lot utilized in small scale blasts that may bring visible irregularities. In addition, pain reduction in comparison to bur assisted preparation of cavities has been clearly demonstrated.]]>

<![CDATA[Analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is needed to make a meningitis diagnosis to assist in the propermanagement of patients. There is a good correlation between the results of reagent strip test and laboratorymethods of CSF protein, sugar, and leukocyte estimation. CSF supplies nutrients to tissue in the nervoussystem. CSF eliminates waste products from cerebral metabolism. Cerebrospinal fluid has three mainfunctions: CSF protects against trauma on the brain and spinal cord. Meningitis is a rare infection thataffects the delicate membranes called meninges, which cover the brain and spinal cord. Index test wasdone for testing meningitis using urinary reagent strips. An intrusive outpatient procedure used to removea sample of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the spine’s subarachnoid area is a lumbar puncture (LP), alsocalled a spinal tap. A urinary test strip or dipstick is a simple medical tool used in normal urinalysis to assessabnormal differences in a patient’s urine. There is a good correlation between the results of reagent strip testand laboratory methods of CSF protein, sugar, and leukocyte estimation. The review gives a clear view andknowledge about the usage of urinary reagent strips in measuring CSF for meningitis.]]>

<![CDATA[Anemia is a condition in which you lack enough healthy red blood cells to carry sufficient oxygen into thetissues of your body. Anemia can make you feel weak and tired. Iron deficiency anemia is the most commonform of anemia, which occurs when there is not enough mineral iron in your body. To generate hemoglobinyour body needs iron. If your blood supply doesn’t have enough iron, the rest of the body can’t get theamount of oxygen it needs.Hair is a fast-proliferating organ with a high blood supply requirement. Thelength and size of the hair depend on the hair cycle anagen, growth stage. At the center of these systems,however, lies the blood supply in the scalp, the oxygen delivery system, and nutrients that are provided to thesubcutaneous blood flowing hair follicles. It is not yet clear what role iron plays in hair loss. This researchhad the purpose of determining the relationship between iron and hair loss. Iron hair loss deficiency maylook like traditional hair loss patterned by males and females. A study published in the Journal of KoreanMedical Science found that iron may not only play a role in hair loss, but may also cause hair to fall out ina manner similar to genetic baldness of male and female patterns. The aim of the study is to analyse the roleof iron deficiency in chronic hair loss. Most widely cited nutritional causes of hair loss include iron, one ofthe key micronutrients in metabolism of our body. This review gives a clear knowledge about the differentroles played by iron deficiency in the body, specifically its role in chronic hair loss.]]>
