Identifying ABO Blood Group and Rh Status Using Dried Saliva Samples
Abstract: This article discusses the accuracy of dried saliva samples in establishing ABO and Rh blood types. Participants, likely screened for secretor status beforehand, submitted blood and saliva samples. Both samples were ABO blood typed (A, B, AB, or O) using standard methods such as gel card technology or hemagglutination assays. We used both saliva and blood to perform Rh typing. The findings revealed that saliva and blood typing for ABO …

Development of a Polymeric Detection System for Salivary Annexin-1: A Potential Tool for Point-of-Care Diagnostics in Periodontal Disease
Abstract: Salivary annexin-1, a protein with anti-inflammatory properties, has emerged as a potential biomarker for periodontal disease. However, current detection methods, like ELISA, are often complex and require laboratory settings. This study explores the development of a novel polymeric detection system for the rapid and sensitive identification of salivary annexin-1. This system could leverage the unique properties of polymers to create a point-of-care diagnostic tool for: (1) early detection and monitoring …

A Comparative Study of the Antimicrobial Activity of Cinnamomum zeylanicum and Thymus vulgaris Essential Oils with Chlorhexidine on Salivary Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans
Abstract: The antimicrobial effectiveness of essential oils has been broadly investigated in vitro against various pathogens. However, to our knowledge, there is a lack of reports on evaluating the antimicrobial activities of cinnamon essential oil (CEO) and thyme essential oil (TEO) versus chlorhexidine on oral Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans. Here, we evaluated and compared the in vitro antimicrobial capabilities of CEO and TEO on oral S. mutans and C. albicans …

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 …

Basal Cell Adenocarcinoma of Submandibular Gland: A Case Report
Abstract: Basal cell adenocarcinoma (BCAC) of the salivary gland is a rare neoplasm that commonly occurs in major salivary glands, most likely in parotid gland. BCAC was included in the 1991 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of salivary gland neoplasms. In 2005 WHO classification; BCAC has been added to the subtypes of salivary gland carcinoma and is classified as a low grade malignancy. Histologically, BCAC is divided on the basis of …

Investigating mosquito innate immune defence mechanism towards malaria vaccine development
Abstract: Mosquito-borne diseases weigh heavily on public health across the globe. The mosquito’s innate immune system certainly decides whether malaria parasites survive inside the vector, and that sighted it as a logical place to discover new vaccine ideas. In this review, we examine how Anopheles mosquitoes defend themselves against Plasmodium parasites and how those defenses could be turned into tools for malaria control. We focus on three layers of immunity: antimicrobial …

Dental and Oral Health Challenges in Patients with Eating Disorders: An Updated Review
Abstract: Eating disorders are complicated psychiatric disorders with profound systemic and oral health implications that are often not identified in clinical practice. Dietary restriction, binge eating, and self-induced vomiting are disorders eating behavior that negatively impact the oral cavity via nutritional deficiency, exposure to acid, malfunction of salivary activities, and changes in immune and microbial. These processes lead to a wide spectrum of oral and dental effects such as dental erosion, …
