They differ from dermoid cysts which have both epidermal and skin appendages such as hair and sebaceous cysts and mature teratomas which have all three layers. They have a thin capsule which is made of a thin layer of squamous epithelium, which macroscopically is white and pearly, and may be smooth, lobulated, or nodular. Internal cystic components are often filled with desquamated epithelial keratin and cholesterol crystals; grossly appearing as a creamy, waxy material.

Study Design: An open, randomized,prospective clinical comparative study was done on 70 patients of onychomycosis attending skin OPD of SNMC Agra UP during the period from august 2019 to march 2021. 35 patients were randomly assigned to receive oral itraconazole 200mg once a day for 12weeks in group A and other 35 patients received oral terbinafine 250mg once a day for 12weeks in group B.The patients were evaluated at the start of the therapy and thereafter at 4,8,12,24 weeks. Results: In group A (Itraconazole), 62.85% of patients showed mycological cure and 51.43% of patients showed clinical cure.In group B (Terbinafine), 74.28% of patients showed mycological cure and 62.86% of patients showed clinical cure.

Moving beyond conventional methods, businesses are increasingly embracing artistic influences as a potent means to set themselves apart in the market. This abstract investigates the assimilation of artistic elements within corporate entities and underscores their pivotal role in brand establishment. Artistic influences in the realm of branding encompass a broad spectrum of components, ranging from visual aesthetics and narrative crafting to evoking emotional resonance. This paper thoroughly explores how enterprises harness these influences through the creation of imaginative logo designs, alluring packaging, and immersive retail environments. Instances of renowned brands that have adeptly employed artistic elements to craft memorable brand experiences were scrutinized. Furthermore, this paper accentuates the significance of art and design in effectively conveying brand values, cultural ethos, and an authentic identity. It delves into the methodologies adopted by businesses to employ artistic expressions in communicating a profound sense of purpose and forging deeper connections with their target demographic. The profound impact of artistic branding on shaping consumer perceptions and nurturing brand loyalty, emphasizing the emotional bonds it cultivates is thoroughly examined. This abstract briefly touches upon the challenges and considerations faced by businesses when integrating artistic influences into their branding strategies. It underscores the paramount importance of maintaining a harmonious and coherent brand image that seamlessly aligns with artistic components. In summation, this paper sheds light on the burgeoning significance of artistic influences within business organizations as an avenue for establishing a brand that resonates with consumers.

By doing away with the need for observer-dependent techniques to overlap anatomic landmarks, stereo-photogrammetry creates 3D images that can be enhanced, rotated, and rendered for better analysis with specialized software. The objective of the study is to compare, verify, and corroborate the fi Objective/Aim - ndings of both unilateral and bilateral measurements made by direct anthropometry and 2D photographs in 3 different facial types (Average, Short and Long) with that of 3D stereophotogrammetric measurements in order to present a costeffective alternative of 3D stereophotogrammetry. A cross-sectional observational study Materials And Methods - design was adopted to assess eight midline and seven bilateral distances on the faces of 36 participants of 3 different facial types. The same measurements were taken on two-dimensional (2D) images and three-dimensional (3D) models created from 2D images. For all measurements, interobserver consistency was obtained with 3 observers measuring the same dimension and the mean of those measurements were taken. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was used for statistical analysis, and the difference between the absolute values of the three methods of measurement was calculated. Results - Direct anthropometry and two-dimensional (2D) measurement for unilateral reference points revealed the greatest variation for average facial types in the distances N-Prn (±0.053) and Sn-Ls (±0.061), while the greatest variation for long and short facial types was in the Ls-St distance (±0.115 and ±0.053, respectively). When comparing unilateral measurements made by direct anthropometry and three-dimensional (3D) stereophotogrammetric values, the identical Sn-Ls (±0.067) had the greatest fluctuation in average facial type and Ls-St changed in long and short facial types (±0.052 and ±0.109, respectively). The Cphr and Cphl had the most variation among the bilateral characteristics assessed among the three facial types using direct anthropometry and either 2D or 3D approaches.
