Abstract

Background Uric acid is a result of the metabolic breakdown of purine digestion. Serum uricacid ensures against carcinogenesis by means of its cell reinforcement properties and forestalls thedevelopment of oxygen extremists. High blood groupings of uric acid can prompt gout and are relatedwith diabetes and development of kidney stones. Serum uric acid fixation mirror the harmony betweenuric acid combination and discharge. Studies have indicated that high uric acid is a danger factorfor hypertension, diabetes and Cardio Vascular illness.Squamous cell carcinoma is characterized asthreatening epithelial neoplasm showing squamous separation as described by the development of keratinor the bury cell spans. It also includestheinitialpresenceofaprecancerous lesion.Moreover,specificmedicalconditionscancontributetotheoral potentially malignant disordersprevalenceOral squamous cellcarcinoma is the most well-known neoplasm speaking to over 80% of all oral malignancy cases. Serum uricacid has been proposed to be related with the danger of malignant growth and it was seen that raised degreesof serum uric acid was related with an expanded disease frequency contrasted with typical qualities.Aim and Objectives : The aim of this study is to evaluate the serum uric acid level in oral cancer patients,to find out the association between low serum uric acid level and risk of squamous cell carcinoma and tocompare the serum uric acid levels in oral cancer patients with normal individuals.Materials and Methods : This is a hospital based study to find out the uric acid level in oral cancer patients.The participants were selected from the out patients, Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology. Thestudy included a total numbe of 28 persons. Out of the 28 persons 15 oral cancer patients were selected forthe experimental group. The remaining 13 subjects were in the normal group.Results : In this study, mean uric acid level in this stroke population with CAD is 6.37 mgs/dl and in thosewithout CAD is 5.00 mgs/dl and thus establishes a statistically significant relationship (‘p’0.0004). Whenmales and females are considered, males have a significant association with a ‘p’ value of 0.0003. The buccalmucosa of the oral cavity was the most common involved site followed by the vestibule.Conclusion : The studies showed that serum uric acid level was significantly lower in oral cancer patientscompared to the control group. Uric acid may prevent the formation of oxygen radicals and there by protectagainst carcinogenesis. In human’s uric acid is the most abundant antioxidant and is an important intracellular free radical scavenger. Early detection of oral cancer and Habit should be controlled to reducemortality rates and help to provide successful cancer treatment.

Abstract

Background: Children with Down Syndrome have delayed motor development and coordination due towhich they have poor balance. Balance is the condition in which all the forces acting on body are balancedsuch that the center of mass (COM) is within the stability limits, the boundaries of base of support (BOS).Several scales are available for assessing balance. However, standardized and reliable scales have beenchosen to prevent the error while testing. Many studies have been conducted showing that sensory integrationtherapy improves balance. However, there is paucity of study on Rotational Vestibular Stimulation inimproving balance.Objectives: To study whether the rotational vestibular stimulation will improve balance and gravitationalinsecurity in children with down syndrome.To study the differences in pre-treatment and post-treatmentparameters after rotational vestibular stimulation using outcome measures.Methods: Balance will be assessed prior to treatment and after the treatment. The measures used for assessingwill be Pediatric Balance Scale, Bruininks-Oseretsky Test, Movement Assessment Battery for Children.Results: Once the study is completed, the parameters of outcome measures will be statisticallyanalyzed.Conclusion: Based on previous researches,it may be predicted that there will be significant improvement inbalance in children with Down syndrome.

Abstract

Background: Poisoning is the major health problem in developing countries like India. Rodenticides are thesubstances used to kill rats. Rodenticides are one of the commonest substances used for poisoning in Indiaone of the reasons is that it is easily available and cheaper than other pesticides They differ from chemicalcomposition and toxicity profile. Prognosis mainly depends on chemical content of poison.Methods: A retrospective descriptive 6 -year review of data from 597 rodenticide poisoning autopsiesperformed by the Department of Forensic Medicine at Vijayanagar Institute of Medical Sciences (VIMS),Ballari, Karnataka, India between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2020, was carried out. Data wereobtained from judicial requisitions, autopsy reports, toxicology, and histology results. Different variables likethe gender, age-wise distribution of cases, marital status,profession,antemortem laboratory investigationsand manner of death were analysed. The data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences(SPSS) version 27.0.Results: Out of 597autopsy cases, majority of the cases 492 (82%) were male, 105 (18%) were female.Most common age group was 51 to 60 years 152 (45.23%) cases, followed by 41 to 50 years 140 (26.19%)cases. Most victims were married 469 (79%) and by profession were farmers 292 (48.91%) cases. Majorityof the cases were mostly reported in the night 454 (76.04%).Antemortem laboratory investigations data likeprothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST),alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total bilirubin waselevated in majority of the cases. Manner of death wassuicidalin 497(83%) cases.Conclusions: Rodenticide poisoning is quite common and treatable, most of the time it is suicidal in nature.Public should be educated regarding consequences of poisoning. Family support and proper counselling forhigh-risk groups may decrease these incidences

Abstract

Objective: socializing hearing loss examination and early detection to patients and their families in deaftype B schools. Methods: A community service program in the form of socialization was performed to thefamily of patients with hearing loss in deaf school type B, Surabaya, Indonesia. Pretest and posttest wereconducted to determine the initial understanding and post socialization knowledge of these people. We alsoasked the participants to fill on a questionnaire regarding the possible causes of the hearing loss (familyhistory, drug use, history of disease, and history of head trauma). Results: Based on the summary of pretestand posttest from the participants, an increase in participants’ knowledge of hearing lost was found. Thisactivity was attended by 90 family members of 37 patients with hearing loss. Pre and post test results. Theresults of the questionnaire showed that 94.59% of the patients came from Javanese ethnicity. As many as21.62% of patients had a family history of hearing loss, and even 2 patients had a father, mother, and siblingwith hearing loss. A total of 18.92% had a history of using ototoxic drugs, 16.22% had a history of maternalRubella infection during pregnancy, and 2.7% had a history of head trauma. Conclusion: Socializationprogram was effective to increase knowledge of congenital hearing loss for family of deaf schoolchildren.The result of the questionnaire showed that deaf schoolchildren had several risk factors for the occurrenceof hearing loss. Similar program can be performed in communities in other areas to increase prevention andearly detection of hearing loss in Indonesia.
