The term malahara itself mean those which remove mala (impurities) from vrana (ulcers), vidradhi (abscesses), twak vikara (skin diseases) etc. Acharya Sadananda Sharma, author of Rasatarangini has mentioned Sindhooradhya malahara a preparation with potent action on vranashodhana ropana (wound cleansing and healing) and bhootasanga prashamana (antimicrobial) properties. Acharya has mentioned two malahara preparations named as Prathama and Dwiteeya Sindhooradhya malahara with only difference in single drug. Both preparations are indicated in skin manifestations like pama and kandu, which may be due to invasion of some external organisms or microbes. WHO has declared that antimicrobial resistance is one of the top 10 global public health threat facing humanity and thus the search for ayurvedic antimicrobials are progressing day by day. Since it is a topical antibiotic preparation, with very minimal ingredients proving its efficacy will be of great use for the society. The present study aims at the preparation and comparison between the antimicrobial activity of the two Sindhooradhya malahara named as Prathama and Dwiteeya respectively. The main findings are, antimicrobial study by both agar well diffusion and macro broth dilution showed that more action in Prathama Sindhooradhya malahara.

As per the National Health Family Survey (NFHS), the prevalence of anaemia has increased (55.8% to 59.1%) from NFHS-4 to NFHS-5. Anaemia among adolescent girls is higher (56% to 59%) than among boys (30% to 31%). According to NFHS 5, infant and child mortality rates have improved since the previous round; therefore, attention is required for adolescents because they are future mothers. It is relevant to bring out the prevalence of anaemia in adolescent girls to prevent maternal and child health in the future. This cross-sectional study was conducted among 250 adolescent girls in Munirika urban village, Delhi. 60.4% of anaemia cases were found among 250 study participants. The study revealed that anaemia was highly prevalent among adolescent girls. Anaemia was associated with less literate, lower starta, poor diet and underweight factors. Anaemia was found to be significantly more common in adolescent girls, and this incidence was higher in lower socio-economic strata, parents who were less educated, poor diet habits, and underweight causes. To have an early impact on reducing adolescents' anaemia, school teachers and Frontline Health Workers (FHWs) should educate and counsel them during home visits. There is a need for IFA supplementation and regular diet pattern awareness among adolescent girls. Interpersonal counseling needs to be strengthened at the community level through home visits and initiating awareness programs. The nutritional status of adolescent girls can be improved through counseling and health education. T3 camps should be held at the school level to raise awareness of anaemia among adolescent girls.","PeriodicalId":14906,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Scientific Research","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139209019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, Er:YAG laser has been used in dentin pretreatment to enhance the bond strength. A deficient hybrid layer is formed following laser etching as it causes thermal damage and collagen denaturation of dentinal substrate. As the results are controversial, attempts are made to modify laser etching technique with respect to energy density, pulse duration and water spray. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the influence of Er:YAG laser conditioning of dentin by activation of Chlorhexidine collagen stabilising agent on the bond strength. Samples included 60 freshly extracted premolar which were divided into three groups (n=20) based on the protocol of dentin pretreatment done: Group 1 (Control) - Phosphoric acid etching followed by universal adhesive; Group 2 (Experimental) - Conventional Er:YAG laser dentioning; Group3 (Experimental) - Er:YAG laser dentin conditioning with coronal reservoir of 0.12% Chlorhexidine. Occlusal class 1 cavity was prepared on the samples followed by which dentin conditioning protocol was carried out for the respective groups. Universal adhesive was applied followed by Composite resin restoration. 1000 cycles of Thermocycling was done and the samples were sectioned to obtain microsections. Microtensile bond strength values were obtained by subjecting the specimens to Universal testing machine.Highest microtensile bond strength value was obtained for group 1 followed by group 3 with least value obtained for Group2 with statistically significant values between the groups. (p<0.0001). Within the limitations of the present invitro study, it can be concluded that preetching with phosphoric acid increases the bond strength of universal adhesive to dentin. Laser conditioning of dentin through activation of chlorhexidine provided better bond strength value of universal adhesive when compared to conventional laser dentin conditioning.","PeriodicalId":14906,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Scientific Research","volume":"324 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139203618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
