<![CDATA[Introduction: Sickle cell anemia may cause pain such as stiffness of the joint, bone pain,muscle weakness, chest or abdominal pain. It is often not recommended to use over - thecounter painkillers (such as ibuprofen, mortin, advil, or aleve) because they can adverselyaffect the function of the kidney and/or liver. Try to use hot compresses for about 15 minutes up to 2-3 timesper day to treat pain spontaneously. Beyond healing irritated skin, increasing endurance and encouragingrelaxing, herbs Are always an effective way to manage pain. It is possible to apply peppermintessential oil on the skin to decrease muscles sore or joint pain1.Objectives:-1. To assess the level of joint pain among sickle cell anemia patients.2. To assess the effectiveness of peppermint oil for joint pain among sickle cell anemia patients.3. To assess the effectiveness of hot fomentation for joint pain among sickle cell anemia patients.4. To compare the effectiveness of peppermint oil and hot fomentation for joint pain among sickle cellanemia patients.5. To associate the effectiveness of peppermint oil for joint pain among sickle cell anemia patients withtheir selected demographic variables.6. To associate the effectiveness of hot fomentation for joint pain among sickle cell anemia patients withtheir selected demographic variables.Material and Methods: For this research, true experimental pre-test post-test research design has beenadopted. The study was conducted in selected area of Wardha district. Simple random sampling techniquewas used to select 60 participants and 30 were recruited for each group. To evaluate joint pain, the toolused for data collection was a scale of (0-10 scale of pain severity) pain scale. Both each groups were givenpeppermint oil and hot fomentation for seven days for three times a day.Result:- The after intervention mean score of hot fomentation 2.90±0.71was higher than that of peppermintoil 1.53 ±0.68 and the calculated ‘ t’ value 7.59 was significant at p<0.0001.Conclusion:- The study proved that peppermint oil was effective than the hot fomentation for reduction ofjoint pain among sickle cell anemia patients]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Periodontal diseases are multifactorial and while formulating a diagnosis multiple factorsmust be taken into account and considered which may cause the disease or alter the treatment plan andprognosis. Some of the factors affecting surgical prognosis include the gingival biotype and labial frenallevel, type, morphology and attachment. The frenal attachment and level may causes additional pull andforce on gingiva affecting healing, gingival biotype affects the kind of flap to be raised or flapless technique,time taken for healing and also the amount of tissue required while procuring connective tissue and freegingival grafts. The present study was undertaken to get a better understanding of the relation betweenGingival Biotype and Labial Frenal attachment by conducting an Epidemiological survey in a Chennaipopulation. Methodology: A total of one hundred and fifty systemically healthy patients were screenedat random from the outpatients of a dental college and hospital between age groups 22 to 60 years. Eachpatient was screened by a single clinician, where the patients demographic data, type of frenal attachment,the medial maxillary labial frenal classification based on morphology, morphology of labial frenum, level offrenal attachment, Miller`s grade of gingival recession, gingival biotypes, visibility of the periodontal probethrough the gingival sulcus and gingival thickness measured using an endodontic reamer. Conclusion:Among all the patients who had Simple single frenum with no nodule and elongated parallel margins withgingival recession, two thirds of them had a Thin gingival biotype.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction Good oral health is of paramount importance not only for chewing but also plays a major rolein overall healthy development of a child. Differently abled children may not be able to look after their oralhealth and hygiene themselves. Every child has the equal right for healthy development and opportunities invarious fields of life. As most of the differently-abled children perform their regular activities with the helpof or under the supervision of a family member or caregiver, it is important for the parents or caregivers tohave sufficient knowledge about oral hygiene measures in order to guide the child efficiently.Materials and Method: A structured modified oral health awareness questionnaire having two componentssociodemographic data and questionnaire- related to oral hygiene habits, sugar exposure, and oral healthseeking behaviour was constructed. The parents and guardians of 200 institutionalized physically/mentallychallenged students were asked to fill up the questionnaires and were then educated regarding proper oralhygiene measures with the help of posters and audio-visual aids.Conclusion: Differently children, due to limited ability and inadequate guidance on oral hygiene maintenance,are prone to poor oral health. There is lack of knowledge of importance of oral health in parents of differentlyabled children. It is the duty of oral health care workers to educate the parents of differently abled childrenabout significance of oral health and how they can train their child for maintenance of proper oral health andhygiene for their overall healthy development.]]>

<![CDATA[The aim of the study was to find out the effect of non-computerized cognitive remediation and risperidonetherapy to improve cognitive function and disability condition in schizophrenia patients. This study was anexperimental research design, with fourteen participants divided into two group as the experimental groupand the control group. The experimental and control groups both received Risperidone. In addition, theexperimental group was given the non-computerized cognitive remediation (CR). The non-computerizedcognitive remediation will be carried out in 12 sessions (3 sessions per week) using mainly paper andpencil tasks and is based on cognitive strategy instruction. Moreover, all samples will be measured forPANSS (Positive and Negative Symptom Scale), WHODAS 2.0 (World Health Organization DisabilityAssessment Schedule), and SCoRS Vi (Schizophrenia Cognition Rating Scales Indonesian Version) scores.As the results, both experimental and control group showed a significant decrease in the SCoRS Vi andWHODAS 2.0 score (p=0.001). However, the experimental group showed greater improvement comparedto the control group. Synergistic effect of Non-computerized Cognitive Remediation and Risperidone canimprove disability condition in schizophrenia patients.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: The brain tumour is the most typical neurological disease in the human. The brain tumourcauses partial paraplegia, memory loss and various kinds of neurological disorder which causes changesof metabolic process in the brain, integrity of neurons, cells proliferation and detoriation. For accuracy indetection, patient will undergo MR Spectroscopy (MRS) based on MR imaging will enhance more widelyused clinical applications and is capable to gives details information about metabolite properties in thebrain of normal and abnormal tissue morphology. MRS is the non-invasive procedure may provide detailsand accuracy about the metabolites in the brain tumour. This study aims to detect efficacy of short andintermediate TE in evaluation of brain tumour with reference to choline and creatinine using multivoxelMRS technique.Method: The total participants (n = 75) with the brain tumour will be included randomized scan under theMRI with a customised protocol. We will be applying two various types of multivoxel MR sequence witha short TE and intermediate TE. Both sequence applying on each participant of brain tumour with coverproper saturation band and after the post processing we will evaluate choline and creatinine metabolite andmeasured the exact variation between given values.Expected Results: MR Spectroscopy may allow the noninvasive separation of high-grade tumour from thelow-grade tumour. Choline and Creatinine ratios may show the steady results in concluding the grade oftumour. The Intermediate TE may show more accuracy, sensitivity and specificity as compared with shortTE.]]>

<![CDATA[Periodontal disease is categorized by the destruction of periodontal tissues. Over the years, there have beenseveral clinical techniques and material options that have been investigated for periodontal defect repair orregeneration. The development of improved biomaterials for periodontal tissue engineering has significantlyupgraded the available treatment options and their clinical results. Bone replacement graft materials, barriermembranes, various growth factors and combination of these have been used. Autografts have been used asthe bone graft material of choice since many years. But this type of grafts has many limitations to its use.In order to overcome its drawbacks, xenografts may be used as a viable alternative. Xenografts also knownas heterologous graft tissues, is obtained from different species, and has been used in various differentperiodontal procedures. The characteristic properties of xenografts and the benefits of using it has made thistype of graft to emerge as an appropriate choice for periodontal regeneration. The objective of this articleis to a review xenograft as a bone replacement graft material to be used in periodontal therapy. The source,mode of bone regeneration and the respective advantages and disadvantages of xenogenic materials havebeen discussed in detail.]]>
