Health risk assessment of heavy metals in wheat using different water qualities: implication for human health
No full textIn the recent years, the use of sewage water for irrigation has attracted the attention of arid and semi-arid countries where the availability of fresh water is poor. Despite the potential use of sewage water in crop irrigation as effective and sustainable strategy, the environmental and human risks behind this use need to be deeply investigated. In this regard, an experiment was carried out under field conditions in Nursery, University College of Agriculture Sargodha, to evaluate the possible health risks of undesirable metals in wheat grains. Wheat variety Sarang was cultivated and irrigated with different combinations of ground (GW) and sewage water (SW). The concentrations of heavy metals (Cr, Cd, Ni, and Pb) and trace elements (Cu, Zn, and Fe) in wheat grains as well as in soil were determined. Moreover, the pollution load index (PLI), accumulation factor (AF), daily intake of metals (DIM), and health risk index (HRI) were calculated. Results showed that the concentration trend of heavy metals was P
Digital Workflow in Complete Denture Manufacturing
No full textDigital workflow is popular for replacing conventional analog procedures for manufacturing complete dentures. A complete digital denture corresponds to a prosthesis that is fabricated through automation using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, a modern system that allows for manufacturing with high efficiency in daily clinical practice. The CAD/CAM technique offers numerous advantages for complete dentures manufacturing in the preprocessing step, including ease of use, faster speed, reduction of manual labor, and preservation of the digital record. It also assists in providing a prosthetic device with improved retention, adequate mechanical, and surface properties that inhibit excessive biofilm formation. The digital workflow can be of great help to an older population with limited access to dental care, giving them a better quality of life with predictable oral rehabilitation. In this chapter, we present the status of the fabrication of a complete denture using digital technology. Information concerning digital impressions, designing, and processing, as well as an overview of biomaterial applications and prospects in this field, is summarized. Moreover, a comparison of conventional and digital denture fabrication workflows, advantages and disadvantages, current concepts, and different fabrication methods of digital complete dentures is presented.</p
ادبی تحقیق میں مکتوبات کی موضوعاتی اہمیت
No full textLetters are the main source for literary research, biography and social history, The importance of letters is attributed to the well-known personality. Celebrity letters have a distinct social and historical status. The letters cover the correspondent's individual problems as well as the collective psychology of the period. Letters are very important literary research, social research and political research. The letters are of equal importance to a literary research and social researcher. Mirza Ghalib, Rajab Ali Sarwer, Maulvi Nazir Ahmad, Sir Sayyed, Abul Kalam Azad, Prem Chand, Allama Iqbal, Hasrat Mohani, Muhammad Ali Johar, Abdulhaq and other literary figures in Urdu literature have literary, political, socioeconomic and religious importance. The letters of the aforementioned are the main source of literature in literary research. The letter has many facets. Literary researcher can get material from them with his research point of view. The author's biography, habits, manners, attitudes and lifestyle can be viewed in private letters. From the political lines one can know his political life, political ideology, political situation and events and the political scenario of the same era,such as Hasrat Mohani and Zafar Ali Khan's letters. For example, Ghalib's letters are a political and social statement of this era. Prison letters revea the prisoner aspect of the author's life, like the letters of Faiz Ahmad Faiz. Letters written to woman (like girlfriend, wife) highlight some aspects of her romantic life, such as Shibli and Iqbal's letters. Religious letters can shed light on the author's religious beliefs and ideas,such as those of Abdul Majid Daryabadi, Ahmad Raza Khan Barelvi and Ashraf Ali Thananwi. The letters describe the author's financial situation. So this article will highlight the importance of letters differnet facets. This article will provide thematic explanation of letters in literary research
Prosthodontic Applications of Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA): An Update
No full textA wide range of polymers are commonly used for various applications in prosthodontics. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is commonly used for prosthetic dental applications, including the fabrication of artificial teeth, denture bases, dentures, obturators, orthodontic retainers, temporary or provisional crowns, and for the repair of dental prostheses. Additional dental applications of PMMA include occlusal splints, printed or milled casts, dies for treatment planning, and the embedding of tooth specimens for research purposes. The unique properties of PMMA, such as its low density, aesthetics, cost-effectiveness, ease of manipulation, and tailorable physical and mechanical properties, make it a suitable and popular biomaterial for these dental applications. To further improve the properties (thermal properties, water sorption, solubility, impact strength, flexural strength) of PMMA, several chemical modifications and mechanical reinforcement techniques using various types of fibers, nanoparticles, and nanotubes have been reported recently. The present article comprehensively reviews various aspects and properties of PMMA biomaterials, mainly for prosthodontic applications. In addition, recent updates and modifications to enhance the physical and mechanical properties of PMMA are also discussed
Diagnostic value of fine needle aspiration cytology in parotid tumors
No full textObjective: To evaluate the usefulness and accuracy of fine needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of parotid gland tumors.Methods: We reviewed files of all patients who underwent parotidectomy for various parotid pathologies at Aga Khan University Hospital. Study design included a comparison between results of preoperative FNAC with final histopathological diagnosis. Galen & Ganbino method was used to calculate sensitivity and specificity of FNAC.Results: Among 50 patients reviewed, there was one false positive and 3 false negative results reported on FNAC. This gives a sensitivity of FNAC for reporting malignancy to be 74% and specificity to rule out malignancy 97%. No significant complications were reported while performing the procedure.CONCLUSION: FNAC is a safe and effective modality in diagnosis and treatment planning of patients with parotid tumors
Dental implants materials and surface treatments
No full textA dental implant is devices that are surgically placed into the alveolar bone and support removable dentures, fixed prostheses, and orthodontic appliances. Because they are in direct contact with the bone, soft tissues and blood, biocompatibility is paramount. Furthermore, to support the aforementioned prostheses and appliances, they should have adequate mechanical and physical properties to withstand the occlusal forces and environment of the oral cavity. Also, they should induce minimal bone loss and have biology properties that prevent the growth of pathogenic periodontal organisms. Over the last few decades, a number of dental implant materials have been used. Titanium is the most popular metal that is used to support removable and fixed prostheses. More recently, zirconium has been used as a dental implant material as well. Polymeric materials such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK) are being studied for potential uses in clinical implant dentistry because of their physical and mechanical properties being close to that of bone. Additionally, to improve the biocompatibility and impart antimicrobial properties to the dental implants, a number of modifications have been used and proposed. The aim of this chapter to provide the reader with a brief history of dental implant materials, an overview of the process of osseointegration and a detailed background of the dental implant materials and surface treatments
