Numerous depigmentation modalities are used namely surgical scraping, gingival autograft, cryosurgery, electrosurgery, and lasers. Microneddling(MN) is a novel technique that is conservative involving the creation of micro wounds and has been tried for depigmentation. Material and Methods: A 23 yrs old female patient without any systemic conditions reported to the Outpatient Department of Periodontology, Krishnadevaraya College of dental sciences and Hospital, with the chief complaint of dark-colored gums. Depigmentation with micro needling was done in the lower anterior and laser in the upper anterior region. Result: There was a considerable reduction in the oral pigmentation scores (Dummett Oral Pigmentation Index) using both techniques in the first and the fourth week. The Visual Analogue Scale score showed lesser pain in the microneedling area. Conclusion: Depigmentation using microneedling and lasers is effective. Microneedling is a simple, economical, and viable option for the removal of gingival depigmentation.","PeriodicalId":162406,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Clinical and Medical Education Research","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133342052","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}

The knowledge on sociodemographic characteristics and medical profile of patients with ESRD and the effects of dialysis on their quality of life is of immense importance to the effective planning and care of these patients. However, there is paucity of literature on this topic. Methods: A cross sectional survey was employed in this study. Objective: The study was meant to uncover knowledge on the sociodemographic characteristics, medical profile and the effects of dialysis on the quality of patients undergoing dialysis. Results: At a mean age of 42.9 years, (35.3%, n = 18) of participants were within 41 and 50 years (Mean = 42.9 years, SD 14.5, Min. 13 years, Max. 77 years). Majority (72.6%, n = 37) of the participants were males, meaning more males were on dialysis than females even though literature suggest that more females are diagnosed with renal conditions. Out of the total number, (29.4%, n = 15) of the participants had attained tertiary education while about 25.5% (n = 14) had no formal education and more than half of the participants earned below Ghc500 equivalent to 34 US dollars monthly. The ability to carry out activities of daily living are severely affected. Conclusion: Kidney failure has become a very common disease among the general public, causing devastating effects, hence there is the need to research into it for effective actions against it.","PeriodicalId":162406,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Clinical and Medical Education Research","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126602109","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}

The GLOBOCAN 2020 report estimates that there will be roughly 19.3 million new cancer diagnoses and 10 million cancer-related deaths in 2020. A fusion oncoprotein called BCR-ABL1, a constitutively active tyrosine kinase that is essential for the development of CML, can be inhibited to slow the course of the illness. The bone marrow and peripheral blood pile up different forms of immature and mature granulocytes or blast cells. In the previous study of CML in India, the annual incidence was reported to be 0.8 to 2.2 per 100,000 population. In leukemia, the most, common type is CML in India. Therefore, chromosomal analysis of CML plays an essential aspect in diagnosing leukemia patients. In the current study, 130 CML cases from the Eastern Indian population ranging in age from 7 to 79 years were cytogenetically analysed (mean of 36). In the study population, the male to female ratio was 1.24:1, with 72 males (55.38%) and 58 women (44.61%) participating. 122 (93.7%) of the 130 cases could be successfully karyotyped, whereas 8 (6.3%) failed culture tests. Out of the 130 cases that were noted, 25 (19.25%) had karyotypes that were normal, while 97 (74.61%) had the Philadelphia (Ph’) chromosome, which has the distinctive translocation t(9;22); Ph’+ve. Furthermore, we conclude that while more advanced molecular techniques cannot entirely replace cytogenetics, which continues to be the focus of laboratory studies into the condition, they can be used in conjunction with it to help diagnose of chronic myeloid leukemia.","PeriodicalId":162406,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Clinical and Medical Education Research","volume":"128 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132894333","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}

In HIV mediated pathogenesis, small trans activator proteins (TAT, NEF, REV) modulate transcription of cellular genes. Similarly, preliminary reports indicated that corona virus ORF8 protein acts as histone mimics disrupting chromatic structure with many epigenetic changes and immune modulator functions. ORF8 protein had also some similarities to immunoglobulin domains and inhibited HMC-1 and IFN-beta functions. During evolution a 382-nucleotide deletion (∆382) in the ORF8 region of the corona virus genome leads to weak virus load and weak pathogenicity (accession no.MT374101). We BLAST searched deletion boundary and was selected few ORF8 protein truncated mutants. The C>T base change at 27972nt and another A>T base change at 28095nt created two termination codons (CAA=TAA and AAA=TAA) to produce 26AA and 67AA long ORF8 truncated proteins. Similar Blast-N search with oligonucleotides selected at the mutation boundaries gave many ORF8 mutants with distinct S24L, V32L, P38S, R52I, A65V, Y73C, L84S, K92E and V100L mutations with or without TAA termination mutations. Major mutations found in B.1.1.7 lineage which had spike 69HV and 145Y mutations and ORF1ab polyprotein 3675KSF deletion. However, one ORF8 mutant (accession no. OW221449) belongs to Omicron BA.2 variant with 24LPP spike deletion and others to Omicron BA.5 variants (accession nos. OP733645 and OP671680) with 24LPP and 69HV deletion in the spike protein. One termination codon mutant (accession no. OP711842) has also 63nt ORF7a/b deletions. Mutation did not change the hairpin structure in the ORF8 gene and ORF8 protein formed dimeric stable globular 3-D structure to interact with many host proteins. Clearly, generation of such abundant B.1.1.7 lineage ORF8 protein truncated mutants may be one of the causes for the extinction of Alpha variant of corona virus in 2021. Roles of ORF8 mutants as host proteins modulator were explained in light of other deletions and mutations in corona virus genome.","PeriodicalId":162406,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Clinical and Medical Education Research","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126595897","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}
