Prophecy of EVs utilizing simple blood indices and also for estimation of clinically is important large esophageal varices (LEVs).Materials and methods: A cross-sectional experimental examination was done on 107 cirrhotic enlisted sequentially. Platelet count (PC), the ratio of aspartate aminotransferase to alanine aminotransferase (the AST/ALT ratio or AAR), AST-platelet-ratio index (APRI), Fib-4, and King's Score were determined and linked with UGIE discoveries taken as the best quality level. The execution manifested affectability, particularity, positive and negative prescient values (PPV, NPV), and area under the curve (AUC).Results: Middle age 44 years, male (90%), and etiology-ethanol (87%). 60/107 had LEVs. For anticipating LEVs, PC at cutoff esteem < 1.5 lakhs c/mm3 exhibited affectability 66.7%; particularity 44.7%, PPV 60.6%, NPV 51.2%, and AUC 0.621. AAR for estimation of LEVs at cutoff esteem 1, showed affectability 93.3%, particularity 42.1%, PPV 54.9%, NPV 20% and AUC 0.638. Lie 4 for expectation of LEVs at cutoff esteem 3.5, showed affectability 80%, and particularity 31.9%, PPV 60%, NPV 55.6% and AUC 0.614.Conclusion: PC, AAR, and FIB-4 had simple demonstrative precision for LEVs in cirrhosis. They recognized the subcategory that requires UGIE for the preventive administration of EVs. Generally, basic blood lists probably will not have the option to substitute the efficacy of UGIE for the finding of EVs in cirrhosis.}, keywords = {AAR,APRI,FIB-4,Oesophageal varices,Platelet count}, url = {http://www.ijsrdms.com/article_135082.html}, eprint = {http://www.ijsrdms.com/article_135082_81ca56dad47f97bb3143dbdd27aa9d1c.pdf} } @article { author = {Rim, Kallala and Ameni, Chebbi and Garrach, Beha and Chaouch, Mohamed Habib and Touzi, Soumaya}, title = {Anatomical Dimension of the Anterior Maxillary Alveolar Process: A Cone Beam Computed Tomography Study}, journal = {International Journal of Scientific Research in Dental and Medical Sciences}, volume = {3}, number = {3}, pages = {111-116}, year = {2021}, publisher = {Tehran: International Journal of Scientific Research in Dental and Medical Sciences}, issn = {2676-5497}, eissn = {2676-5373}, doi = {10.30485/ijsrdms.2021.289617.1167}, abstract = {Background and aim: Immediate implant therapy has become a widespread technique that immediately restoration of esthetic and function. Its dimensions should be determined after the exploration of the bone around the natural tooth. This study aimed to explore alveolar bone in the maxillary anterior region using cone-beam computed tomography, including CS 3D Imaging Software.Materials and methods: It is a retrospective study conducted in the Dental Faculty of Medicine Monastir Tunisia. It included 400 CBCT Scans checked from the radiological center. On selected CBCT, fulfilling inclusion criteria, facial alveolar bone thicknesses in the coronal (point A), middle (point B), and apical third (point C) were calculated. Alveolar height, crest height, and tooth angulations were also determined. Using SPSS 21software, descriptive statistics including the mean and standard deviation (SD) were calculated. AS well  T-test, Pearson correlation, and Friedman test were used to analyze the data. The significance level was set at 95%.Results: Mean alveolar height of maxillary central incisor, lateral incisor, and canine was respectively 20.5±3.62, 20.73±2.53, and 20.36± 2.81 mm. The difference between sites was statistically significant. Males had longer alveolar height than females. The mean facial plate thicknesses of the alveolar bone across point measurements A, B, and C were 0.86, 0.90, and 0.99mm for maxillary central incisors, 1.4, 0.80, and 0.84 mm maxillary lateral incisors and 1.08, 0.67, and 0.66mm for maxillary canines. Mean alveolar crest height (D) of the anterior maxillary teeth were 2.32 ± 1.04, 2.20 ± 0.1 and 2, 41 ±1.7 respectively at the level of maxillary central incisors, lateral incisors, and canines.Conclusion: Facial bone is thin: lateral incisors have the most significant bone thickness, followed by central incisors, then canines with the most negligible bone thickness among the anterior maxillary teeth. Males exhibited greater facial bone heights. Facial bone thickness depends on teeth' angulations.

Detailed characterization of CoNS isolates through speciation, and antibiotic susceptibility may be needed to differentiate pathogenic from contaminating isolates and plan effective therapy. Aim: To isolate and speciate CoNS from various clinical specimens, detect different virulence factors, and determine the antibiotic susceptibility profile.Materials and methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was done using 110 clinical isolates of CoNS throughout one year in the Department of Microbiology, Government Medical College, Thrissur, Kerala, India. The isolates were identified, speciated using standard methods, virulence factors like biofilm formation and DNase were determined, as well as antibiotic susceptibility using the Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method. Statistical analysis was done by counts and percentages using MS Excel version 2010.Results: Staphylococcus epidermidis was the most frequent isolate, 49.1%, Staphylococcus haemolyticus 27.3%, and Staphylococcus schleiferi 11.8%. Blood samples yielded maximum isolates. Biofilm production by the Congo Red Agar method was seen in 18.2% isolates, and 14.5% showed DNase production. Antibiotic susceptibility testing showed maximum resistance to Penicillin (95.5%) and Erythromycin (80.9%) with Methicillin resistance in 17.3% and 100 % sensitivity to Vancomycin. Biofilm-producing strains were more antibiotic-resistant.Conclusion: The multiple antibiotic resistance and pathogenic potential of biofilm producers emphasize the importance of developing simple, reliable, and inexpensive methods to identify virulence factors and determine the antibiotic sensitivity of CoNS.}, keywords = {Biofilm,Congo Red Agar,cons,DNase,Staphylococcus epidermidis}, url = {http://www.ijsrdms.com/article_136181.html}, eprint = {http://www.ijsrdms.com/article_136181_bc3e6c28b09533b648879febd738c2f3.pdf} } @article { author = {Guha, Gautam and Das, Anubrata}, title = {A Study of Visual Evoked Potential for Functional Assessment of Visual Pathway in Ophthalmologically Normal Diabetes Mellitus Patients}, journal = {International Journal of Scientific Research in Dental and Medical Sciences}, volume = {3}, number = {3}, pages = {133-140}, year = {2021}, publisher = {Tehran: International Journal of Scientific Research in Dental and Medical Sciences}, issn = {2676-5497}, eissn = {2676-5373}, doi = {10.30485/ijsrdms.2021.295355.1173}, abstract = {Background and aim: Diabetic retinopathy(DR) is one of the most common complications of long-standing diabetes mellitus(DM).

In the current study, we planned to evaluate the effects of nicotine smoke on one of the important genitourinary organs, i.e., the testes and kidneys.Materials and methods: The study was conducted on 12 inbred adult Wistar albino rats; 6 animals acting as a control, and the remaining six acting as a test group. The control group animals were given only sterile water, whereas animals of the test group were exposed to smoke produced from the nicotine wrapped in cotton wool in the dose of 6mg/day three times a day for each session of 5 minutes each for five days. Each rat was exposed to the smoke produced due to nicotine separately in a closed inhalational chamber and not in groups. The rats were euthanized after experimentation, and testis and kidneys were removed and subjected further to tissue processing for histological examination.Results: The histological examination of tissue sections of the test group revealed marked distortion and degeneration of seminiferous tubules and germ cell lineage and distorted and widened interstitial spaces with loss of Leydig cells. On the other hand, the tissue sections of the control group showed normal histological architecture of testes with normal interstitial spaces and Leydig cells. Additionally, the renal sections of the test group showed dilation of urinary space, shrunken and distorted glomeruli. On the contrary, the renal specimens of the control group also demonstrated normal renal architectural patterns.Conclusion: the results of the present study concluded that even passive smoke exposure has drastic effects on the genitourinary organs, and hence, its use in public places should be checked.}, keywords = {Glomerular,Kidney,Leydig cells,Nicotine}, url = {http://www.ijsrdms.com/article_137127.html}, eprint = {http://www.ijsrdms.com/article_137127_e4f564499d3a79366d6b7d3ce4804315.pdf} } @article { author = {Volodymyr, Andriienko and Sergii, Kozyk and Kozyk, Olha}, title = {Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Mini-screw-facilitated Micro-osteoperforation Interventions on the Treatment Process in Patients with Orthodontic Treatment: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis}, journal = {International Journal of Scientific Research in Dental and Medical Sciences}, volume = {3}, number = {3}, pages = {147-152}, year = {2021}, publisher = {Tehran: International Journal of Scientific Research in Dental and Medical Sciences}, issn = {2676-5497}, eissn = {2676-5373}, doi = {10.30485/ijsrdms.2021.306970.1196}, abstract = {Background and aim: Given that MOP is a new method, the discrepancy in the research results and its effectiveness on tooth movements and possible side effects of this method are controversial.
