The findings of a committee reported that a successful health-care professional will essentially require competence in three domains, namely cognitive, intrapersonal, and interpersonal domain. However, the careful analysis of the medical education delivery system across different parts of the world suggests that we are falling short in our efforts to adequately expose medical students' to these competencies. In the global mission to improve the quality of health-care delivery, we have to take specific measures to ensure the attainment of the desired competencies, and the involvement of teachers will be crucial. In conclusion, considering the dynamism in the health sector, it is the responsibility of educators to enhance the attainment of cognitive competencies of the students. Further, students should be encouraged to reflect, and experiential learning should be regularly practiced to equip the students with intrapersonal skills. Finally, we also have to focus on the attainment of interpersonal competencies, as it prepares them to work as effective members of the team.","PeriodicalId":55681,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Scientific Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139343855","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}

Conventionally, apexification and later apical barrier/plug endodontic modalities have been widely undertaken for such affected teeth. However, such treatment approaches have several intrinsic shortcomings such as uncertain long-term treated tooth prognosis. Since recent years, a biologically based therapeutic endodontic approach known as regenerative endodontic therapy has been or being extensively explored or studied to overcome the drawbacks of previous conventional treatment modalities and also to improve the long-term prognosis of the affected immature nonvital teeth in children and adolescents. Regenerative endodontics is a rapidly evolving subject and also a promising treatment modality for the scientific researchers and clinicians, respectively. Hence, the present article aims to comprehensively and critically appraise the recent literature pertaining to regenerative endodontic procedures. The relevant literature regarding the regenerative endodontics was searched in electronic databases. The articles were retrieved using Boolean operators with relevant keywords/Medical Subject Headings. The included relevant articles were critically appraised in the present review. The latest important aspects of regenerative endodontic have been described in a systematic manner for its better understanding and deeper insights for the general and pediatric dental professionals.","PeriodicalId":55681,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Scientific Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139343860","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 malignant potential of prostate cancer is associated with tumor volume at diagnosis and studies of the correlation between serum PSA levels and Gleason's grading which remains one of the most powerful predictors of prostate cancer. Aim: To correlate serum PSA and Gleason's score/Group grade in various neoplastic prostatic biopsies and to study their histopathological findings at a tertiary care center. Materials and Methods: This study uses PSA as a screening tool and to correlate serum PSA level to Gleason scores/group grades in various neoplastic and nonneoplastic prostatic biopsies, received at the Department of Pathology, T. S. Misra Medical College and Hospital, Lucknow during 4 years from June 2016 to July 2020. Results: The mean serum PSA value in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) without prostatitis cases was 1.80 ng/ml and BPH with prostatitis was 5.86 and in malignant cases was 55.2 ng/ml. Serum PSA in the range of 0–4 ng/ml was significantly associated with benign lesions and a value of more than 20 ng/ml was significantly associated with malignant lesions. The most frequent Gleason score was 7 and Grade group II was the highest in number. The highest incidence of malignancies and prostatic hyperplasia occurred among the 60–69 years of age group. PSA values increased significantly (P < 0.05) in prostatic carcinoma cases (Group grade II and III). Conclusion: PSA is a valid, sensitive, and early screening method for the diagnosis of both neoplastic and nonneoplastic lesions of the prostate. PSA values correlated significantly with Gleason's score/grade groups of prostatic carcinoma.","PeriodicalId":55681,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Scientific Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139345429","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}
