The influence of inter-bracket distance on load deflection characteristics of nickel-titanium wires: Labial versus lingual technique
Get PDFAim: Aim of this study was to compare and evaluate load deflection characteristic of NiTi wires of different cross-section between labial and lingual straight wire system in aligned and crowded condition. Materials & Methods: The study was divided into two parts one with the aligned teeth and in other part typodont set was manipulated to simulate the crowded arch. Crowding was created in the anterior region by displacing one central incisor and one lateral incisor 2 mm palataly and canine were rotated in mesio-buccal direction. Typodont was sent to laboratory for lingual setup and CAD-CAM based Avant grade laser sintered 3D lingual brackets were and bonded using Cyanoacrylate by the laboratory. A modified three point bending test simulating the clinical conditions was carried out to investigate load deflection characteristics of Cu-NiTi arch-wires using Instron Universal Testing Machine. Results: Shapiro-wilk test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test were used to check the normality of the sample and values. Intergroup comparison of LDR of wires between labial and lingual group in aligned and crowded condition showed that LDR of wires in the lingual bracket system was significantly higher as compared to labial bracket system.

Comparison of the effectiveness of savlon antiseptic with povidone-iodine for acinetobacter baumannii infected wounds in white rats (Rattus Norvegicus)
Get PDFWound washing with antiseptic liquid is one step in the management of chronic wounds. In infected wounds, washing with antiseptic is expected to reduce bacterial colonies and help eradicate infection. One of the important pathogenic bacteria is Acinetobacter Baumannii. These opportunistic germs can form colonies, especially in patients receiving broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, treatment in the ICU, and on skin affected by burns. Antiseptic commonly used to wash wound are Savlon and Povidone-iodine 10%. Both antiseptic are broad spectrum antisepctic, kill gram negative and gram positive bacteria. However Savlon could caused skin irritation. Therefore dilution is needed to prevent this effect. This study was intended to determine the difference and comparison of the effectiveness of Savlon and Povidone iodine antiseptic to bacterial growth on wound infected by Acinetobacter Baumannii. This study is an experimental study with a randomized controlled trial without blinding. The wound research procedure was made on the right and left sides of the rat's back with a size of 1x1 cm each. Wounds that have been contaminated with Acinetobacter Baumannii are left for 4 hours. After 4 hours the wound will be washed and irrigated. The wound that has been made is closed with a transparent dressing

Impression of corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities among the human resource professionals at Chennai Region
Get PDFThere is expanding need to build the ability of the in-house ability connected with the working of CSR. The CSR exercises incorporate charitable works and different drives which normally by coordinating the social qualities into functional and business procedures. Lately, we have perceived how ineffectively oversaw advertising have made association challenging to maintain their business. Associations are to endless conclusions because of such inaction. This presents the defense to study or move toward CSR according to an alternate point of view. The result of the exploration has tossed light on specific key regions towards the various partners like the administration, the HR experts, and to the general public overall. The examination finds have fostered a desire to move quickly that the administration needs to follow up on promptly by making an interest in the practical improvement of the local area and the business. The associations can put HR experts who have the ache to investigate the areas of CSR so the organization can bank upon the characteristics of these HR experts to construct a solid association culture inside and which will help the different partners at large
Computed tomography findings of portal hypertension in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Get PDFTo evaluate radiologic findings of portal hypertension at computed tomography (CT) of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease for early diagnosis. Images of 200 cases who underwent non-enhanced abdominal CT were reviewed. The patients with the difference between hepatic and splenic attenuation (CT L-S)> 10 were enrolled in hepatosteatosis group. The remaining formed control group. The relationship between two groups about diameters of portal and splenic veins, craniocaudal (CC) span of liver, splenic index, caudate lobe/right lobe (C/RL) ratio was analyzed statistically by Mann– Whitney U Test and Student’s t-test. Total 200 cases, as hepatosteatosis (n= 120) and control (n= 80) groups, were involved in this study. Liver CC span, splenic index and C/RL ratio between two groups were found to be statistically significant (p< 0.01). The splenic index and C/RL ratio are important findings of portal HT and fibrosis. CT imaging can be beneficial for diagnosis and treatment of NAFLD patients

One-year clinical evaluation of monolithic zirconia crowns restoring endodontically treated molars with two finish line designs
Get PDFThe study's objective was to assess the clinical behavior of monolithic zirconia crowns with two different margin designs in terms of fracture during a one-year period. Forty-four posterior endodontically treated molars received full coverage monolithic crowns. The teeth were separated into two groups depending on the margin design: the control group (RS) had a rounded shoulder finish-line while the intervention group (F) had a feather-edge finish-line. An intra-oral scan was used for the full coverage restorations, which were designed using open source software and machined on a 5 axis machine. The crowns were sandblasted and cemented with conventional glass ionomer cement. The modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria were used to assess clinical behavior in terms of fracture following cementation. The grades were immediately taken after cementation and at three consecutive three-month follow-up assessments over the course of a year. In terms of restoration fractures, all three follow-up examinations yielded a perfect Alpha score of 100 percent for each group. (P<0.05) There was no statistically significant difference between the control (RS) and intervention (F) groups. In this one-year randomized clinical investigation, all of the crowns assessed were clinically successful, with no signs of fractures
