Myoepithelial Cell – A Morphologic Diversity – A Review
Abstract: Myoepithelials are found in sweat glands, mammary glands, lacrimal glands, and salivary glands. They are important components of salivary gland structure, aiding the expulsion of saliva from acinar lobules. However, we currently know very little about the cellular and molecular characteristics of myoepithelial cell precursors, as well as their possible use in the diagnosis of salivary gland lesions. Moreover, the nature of the signals involved in communication between luminal and …

Gagging and Management
Abstract: One of the challenging situations where prosthodontists skills and knowledge are put to test is management of a patient with pronounced gag reflex. A disruptive hypersensitive gag reflex is stressful, frustrating and embarrassing both for the patient and for the dentist.

Factors Affecting Residual Ridge Resorption: a Literature Review
Abstract: Residual ridge is a term used to define the shape of the alveolar ridge after healing of bone and soft tissue after tooth extraction. Patients suffering from long-standing edentulism commonly suffer from this incapacitating problem, especially in the mandible. As it causes physiologic, physical, and economic problems to patients, the cause of ridge resorption needs to be identified. Residual Ridge Resorption is a progressive, irreversible disease, as a result of …

Bone in Periodontal Health and Diseases: A Scoping Review
Abstract: Bone resorption is a basic physiologic process and central to the understanding of many key pathologies. Alveolar bone destruction is a hallmark of periodontal disease progression and its prevention is a key clinical challenge in treatment of periodontal disease. Bone loss is mediated by the host immune and inflammatory response to the microbial challenge. As individuals are not equally susceptible to the destructive effects of periodontal infections therefore, it is …

Recombinant Lactobacillus helveticus PJ4-Down Regulates TLR4 Mediated Inflammatory Responses in Sucrose Induced Diabetic Rats: A Novel Therapeutic Approach
Abstract: High sucrose diet (HSD) is known to induce type 2 diabetes. Recombinant Lactobacillus helveticus PJ4 was constructed to express the InuJ gene under the xylose promoter resulting in the secretion of inulosucrase enzyme in gastrointestinal tract which polymerizes the fructose moiety of sucrose to inulin type fructans. L. helveticus (pSLP-InuJ-Vhb) transformant (LHI) was intragastrically administered to rats fed with HSD diet. The composition of fecal microbiota and short-chain fatty acids …

A short review on scenario of Type 1 diabetes in Australia
Abstract: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is caused by an autoimmune attack on pancreatic beta cells that leads to insulin deficiency. The incidence of T1D in Australia has doubled over the past 20 years. T1D treatment focuses on physiological insulin replacement, aiming for near-normal blood glucose levels. Morbidity and mortality result in hypoglycemia in T1D. Better results can be achieved by following some of the new technologies which includes insulin pumps, continuous …

Assessment of Total Cardiovascular Risk using WHO/ISH Risk Prediction Charts in Chaman Colony, Dhanas, Chandigarh in India
Abstract: Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD), largely heart disease and stroke, accounts for almost half of all NCD-related deaths and is now the leading cause of death in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). There are several risk factors which are responsible for developing CVDs. Many of the risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, diabetes, physical inactivity and obesity are potentially modifiable by health counselling. Cardiovascular diseases are preventable so accurate estimation …

Complementary and Alternative Therapies for High Blood Pressure: An Evidence Based Approach
Abstract: High blood pressure is a disorder of circulatory system characterized by the sustained, non-physiologic rise of systemic blood pressure. It is considered as the leading cause of death in the world. In India and its encompassing nations, the awareness level for hypertension is <45%. Only 50% of these are on treatment and adequacy of control of blood pressure is exceptionally poor. Standard medical practices being employed currently for treating high …

Serum Hepcidin Status of Sickle Cell Disease Subjects with Multiple Blood Transfusion in Nigeria
Abstract: Objectives: No effective physiological mechanism for excess iron excretion is known in humans. Conditions such as sickle cell disease (SCD), where red blood cell transfusion is a frequently employed therapy can subsequently result in ready accumulation and circulation of exogenous iron as non-transferrin bound iron in tissues with possible impairment of iron homeostasis in them. Aim: The influence of multiple blood transfusions on the patterns of iron homeostasis in correlation …

The Effects of Stress on Memory
Abstract: Stress throws the organisms’ body out of homeostatic balance. The physiological stress response acts by activation of two systems to balance the disturbance: the SNS and the HPA-axis. Stress has enhancing and impairing effects on memory processes: encoding, consolidation, and retrieval. These opposite effects may be explained if the different time courses of stress hormone, in particular catecholamine and GC actions are taken into account. This review will access the …
