Role of inclusive pedagogical structure in education: An analysis with reference to Indian case laws
Get PDFAn efficient pedagogical structure in educational institutions plays an important role in mental well-being of students. The research paper talks about Inclusive pedagogy in educational culture. Inclusion is a form of integration where all diversities are celebrated at an educational setup. One such form of inclusive setup implies inclusion of persons with disabilities with equal accessibility and participation to all the students. Such practice has a great impact on mental as well as emotional well-being of students with disabilities and confirms an environment that celebrates diversity. The paper also refers to international and Indian legal documents and policies regarding Inclusive Education. Furthermore, a brief reference of Indian case laws with respect to Inclusive educational structure embarks the status of inclusion when it comes to persons with disabilities
Assessment of outcome of orthodontic mini dental implants: An observational study
Get PDFBackground: Successful orthodontic therapy has always depended upon on intraoral anchorage with a great resistance to displacement. Osseointegrated implants are considered reliable sources of anchorage for orthodontists hence; the present study was undertaken for assessing the outcome of orthodontic Mini dental implants. Materials & methods: A total of 100 patients were enrolled. In all the involved patients, one or more self-drilling mini-screws were inserted. Orthodontic mini-implants were considered successful when they proved a perfect skeletal anchorage during the entire treatment period (independent from the period's length) without sign of mobility. All the results were recorded and analysed using SPSS software. Results: Success was observed in 85 percent of the cases. Failure was seen in 15 percent of the cases. Among the failure cases, inflammation was the cause in 10 percent of the cases while screw fracture was seen in 5 percent of the cases. Conclusion: Under the hands of skilled and experienced clinician, self-drilling orthodontic mini-implants had excellent prognosis
Assessment of knowledge, attitude and practices about antibiotic resistance and usage: A questionnaire based study among medical students
Get PDFBackground: The current trend of treatment, using antibiotics has definitely helped improve patient outcome and prevent infectious disease however the irrational and unregulated use these drugs has created a havoc of antibiotic resistance. The Worldwide spread of the antibiotic resistant organisms has gradually created the threat of antimicrobial insufficiency and is leading us back to an pre-antibiotics era. Patients infected with these antibiotic resistant organisms are likely to face long durations of hospital stay, increased cost of treatment and require treatment with second? and third?line drugs, which may be more toxic and less effective. Medical students are going to be primary care physicians to serve the community. These future prescribers are frontline fighters against antimicrobial resistance, by rationally prescribing the antibiotics and promoting patient awareness. There are sufficient evidences to support that newly licensed doctors / prescribers are not adequately trained to prescribe medications safely. Lack of adequate training during medical degree course may be one of the reasons for that. Objective: To assess the knowledge, attitudes, and the practices of medical students with respect to antibiotic resistance and usage
Assessment of the effect of adhesion boosters on shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets on bleached teeth
Get PDFBackground: The bleaching procedure results in damage to the outer enamel layer by forming porosities, which leads to demineralization and modification in the calcium–phosphate ratio. The present study was conducted to assess the effect of adhesion boosters on shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets on bleached teeth. Materials & Methods: 60 maxillary premolars teeth were randomly divided equally into 2 groups. Group I were bleached teeth and group II had non-bleached teeth. Each group was further divided equally into 3 subgroups (n = 10) depending on the type of adhesive booster used (Enhance LC, All-bond 2, and no adhesive booster [control]). Maxillary premolars brackets were bonded. Debonding was done with a universal testing machine, and the SBS was recorded. Results: The mean shear bond strength (MPa) in Group IA was 10.5, in IB was 13.2, in IA was 10.5, in IC was 14.3, in IB was 13.2, in IC was 14.8, in IIA was 9.8, in IIB was 11.2, in IIA was 9.8, in IIC was 12.3, in IIB was 11.2 and in IIC was 12.8. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Adhesive boosters increased the shear bond strength of both bleached and non-bleached teeth significantly
