Food Allergy-practical Approach
Abstract: There is a consistent increase in prevalence of food allergy (FA). The diagnosis of FA is based on thorough history supported by positive skin test, specific IgE (extract-and component-based), Basophil activation test (BAT) to reduce the need for Oral food challenge (OFC). OFC procedures may be conducted in cases of diagnostic uncertainty or to assess the presence or development of tolerance. Effective management of food allergy involves a comprehensive three-pronged …

An Immunohistochemical Study to Assess the Role of Myofibroblasts in Diagnosing and Predicting the Outcome of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Abstract: Background: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) accounts for approximately 94% of all oral malignancies, hence establishing oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) as one of the top 10 most prevalent malignant tumors. Cells with several functions, such as macrophages and myofibroblasts, play a vital role in the biological behavior of tumors. This study aimed to assess and evaluate the prevalence of myofibroblasts (MF) and macrophages in SCCs occurring in the oral region. …

A Study to assess Prescription pattern in outpatient department of tertiary care hospital
Abstract: ABSTRACTBackground:Antibiotic resistance and irrational prescribing is a global concern, is particularly pressing in developing nations, including India, where the burden of infectious disease is high and healthcare spending is low. The Global Antibiotic Resistance Partnership (GARP) was established to develop actionable policy recommendations specifically relevant to low- and middle-income countries where suboptimal access to antibiotics - not a major concern in high-income countries - is possibly as severe a problem …

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, …

Vaccines Through Time: Conventional Foundations and Next-Gen Innovations–Part 1
Abstract: Vaccination serves as a critical pillar of global public health, markedly decreasing infection rates and associated mortality. Traditional vaccine platforms such as live attenuated, inactivated, toxoid, and subunit vaccines have demonstrated effectiveness against pathogens like Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Plasmodium spp., yet they are constrained by antigenic variability, limited immune persistence, and complex production processes. Breakthroughs in synthetic biology, structural antigen design, and computational vaccinology have driven the development of advanced …

Demodex spp. (Acari: Demodicidae) Infestation in Humans: Diagnostic Clues and Therapeutic Approaches to Primary and Secondary Demodicosis.
Abstract: Demodicosis represents an inflammatory dermatosis and adnexal disorder arising from pathologic overgrowth of Demodex mites, primarily Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis, which are ubiquitous human ectoparasites residing in pilosebaceous units and eyelid margins. Once regarded as benign commensals, these mites are now recognized as primary drivers or key cofactors in diverse clinical phenotypes, including papulopustular eruptions, pityriasis folliculorum, rosacea-like disorders, blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction, and exacerbations of comorbid dermatoses such …

Is Tissue Platelet Count an Important Diagnostic Tool for Oral Cancer?
Abstract: Metastasis is the main cause of cancer-related deaths and a major challenge in today’s cancer management. Although many new therapies against malignant tumors have been developed over the last few years, the prognosis of most malignancies remains unfavorable, once metastatic spread has occurred. There are plethora of studies indicating that the interaction of tumor cells with platelets within the bloodstream is essential during this early phase of metastasis. Ironically, however, …

Evaluation of Chale Neem (Azadirachta Indica) As an Immunomodulator in Elderly Persons: A Single Blind Randomized Placebo Controlled Study
Abstract: Elderly subjects have loss of functionality and dysregulation of immune system. Immunosenescence is associated with deleterious changes, primarily in adaptive immunity and particularly in T cell subset. It includes reduced production of T cells in bone marrow and thymus and diminished function of mature lymphoid tissues. As a result, elderly individuals do not respond to immune challenge and are at increased risk of infection and related complications. Chale Neem (Azadirachta …
