The worldwide prevalence of obesity is a considerable source of concern, given its potential impact on morbidity, mortality, and cost of health care. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized obesity as a predisposing factor to major chronic diseases ranging from cardiovascular diseases to cancers. Once considered a problem only in developed nations, the WHO estimates now show that obesity is on the rise, dramatically, even in low- and middle-income countries. Both obesity and dental caries have common determinants and require a comprehensive, integrated, and multidisciplinary approach. In this context, dental health-care professionals should promote healthy diets not only to prevent dental caries but also to reduce the risk of obesity, provided that obesity and dental caries share common lifestyle factors starting from childhood and adolescence. There are very few literature evidences wherein significant attention has been drawn toward the prevention of this global health burden. The present review focuses on a similar lacuna in the literature and emphasizes the role of primary health-care providers including dental professionals who are well-trained to address this public health concern at grassroots levels. Thus, the improvement of dental health and general well-being of individuals requires an active collaboration between dental and general health-care providers and the implementation of health promotion strategies targeting management of both obesity and dental caries by using a holistic approach.","PeriodicalId":55681,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Scientific Society","volume":"30 1","pages":"345 - 350"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139346433","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}

Materials and Methods: Forty clinically and histopathologically confirmed cases of OL were included. They were divided into two groups: 20 were given systemic Vitamin A therapy and on the other group MB-PDT for 30 days. Pre- and posttreatment assessment of size of lesion and clinical appearance were done and followed up for 1 year to check for recurrence and delayed side effects. Results: The reduction in size of lesion pre- and posttreatment was statistically nonsignificant in the Vitamin A Group, but statistically highly significant in the PDT group according to unpaired t-test with no immediate or delayed side effects seen in both the groups. Conclusion: Both the treatment methods showed response in terms of reduction of size of lesion, but MB-PDT was a better treatment option for OL. Clinical Relevance: Oral cancer is often preceded by various premalignancies, OL being the most common among them. Early diagnosis and intervention will prevent malignant transformation thereby reducing the cost, side effect and mortality associated with oral cancer. Considering the prevalence, symptomless nature of OL, an effective, well-accepted mode of treatment with minimal side effects is of utmost need.","PeriodicalId":55681,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Scientific Society","volume":"44 1","pages":"394 - 398"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139345220","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}

It is more commonly associated with trauma, local or systemic infection, or systemic diseases. It is a serious and disabling condition that may cause problems in facial growth, mastication, swallowing, digestion, speech, appearance, and poor oral hygiene. The severity of ankylosis is diagnosed by evaluating the degree to which mouth opening is restricted. Conventional X-rays, computed tomography scans, or magnetic resonance imaging tests determine the abnormality in the bony or soft tissue formations in the joint area. The treatment of TMJ ankylosis poses a significant challenge because of the high incidence of recurrence. In this article, we report a case of a 27-year-old adult female who presented with left TMJ ankylosis and was treated with interpositional arthroplasty and bilateral coronoidectomy.","PeriodicalId":55681,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Scientific Society","volume":"42 1","pages":"410 - 413"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139344768","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 current review is done with an aim to assess the utility of task-based learning in undergraduate medical education. An extensive search of all materials related to the topic was carried out in the PubMed search engine and a total of 13 studies similar to current study objectives were selected for the review. Task-based learning refers to a teaching-learning methodology that is being employed in the clinical years in a medical institution. This method has its root originating from problem-based learning and it also advocates integrated teaching by providing students with a multi-specialty clinical exposure, that eventually creates a number of learning opportunities and makes the entire experience enriching. The selected task should be the one that represents a frequent concern of the local community, and should have specific learning objectives for making progress in clinical medicine. In conclusion, task-based learning is a holistic and a transdisciplinary approach to help the medical students to develop clinical competencies. Further, owing to the integration of clinical and basic science subjects in authentic clinical settings, the students learn the art of providing a holistic clinical care, while being motivated and satisfied with the entire learning experience.","PeriodicalId":55681,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Scientific Society","volume":"4 1","pages":"290 - 292"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139345153","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}

A total of seven cases of cystic neutrophilic granulomatous mastitis were reported. Results: Six out of seven patients were in the fourth decade of life. All of the patients presented with breast swelling and nipple discharge, whereas two patients had multiple discharging sinuses over the breast. Conclusion: Gram-positive bacterial infections have a distinctive pattern of inflammation in breast abscesses that can easily be overlooked. Pathologists should actively search for Gram-positive bacilli in distinctive cystic spaces. The importance of this is that prolonged antibiotic therapy against corynebacteria is often needed even beyond the resolution of symptoms in CNGM.","PeriodicalId":55681,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Scientific Society","volume":"7 1","pages":"380 - 382"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139346854","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}

However, not ovarian masses are progressing into malignant, and early diagnosis and treatment generally cure them without much destruction. The rate of occurrence highly depends on the demographic and obstetric profile of women. Since demographic profile varies it becomes essential to carry out detailed studies of a particular region to understand the prevalence of ovarian masses. Here, such a retroprospective study was carried out to determine the prevalence of ovarian masses in the Rajkot district. Methodology: A total of 44 cases with ovarian masses were taken into consideration for the determination of the effect of various parameters and their association with ovarian masses. The patients were analyzed for nonneoplastic, benign, and malignant tumors. Patients were analyzed based on demographic location, obstetric profile, and clinical presentations. Results: Based on the entire study, it was found that women in a middle age group are more prone to ovarian masses as compared to the older age group. Not only this but higher parity is also associated with increased chances of ovarian masses. Among nonneoplastic tumors occurrence of the serious cyst was highest. While in the case of benign tumors, mucinous cystadenoma and teratoma both were found predominant. However, no significant difference was observed in the patients with nonneoplastic and benign tumors. Among 44 cases, only one case with serous papillary adenocarcinoma was found. Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, it was found that women of Rajkot district in the age group 30–50 years are more prone to ovarian masses.","PeriodicalId":55681,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Scientific Society","volume":"85 1","pages":"375 - 379"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139344306","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 severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) molecularly identified by detecting coronavirus RNA in the nasal swabs. Materials and Methods: 10770 participants were divided into 200 patients with SARS-CoV-2 and 10570 served as the control group. All patients were confirmed by real-time polymerase chain reaction and computed tomography scans from three hospitals in Babylon, Iraq. For the ABO blood type, three blood drops were obtained from each individual by pricking the tip of the index finger. Each drop was put on a slide that contained an antiblood typing serum to detect A, B, and D antigens. Statistical analysis was performed by Chi-square in SPSS version 23. Results: The distribution of the ABO blood group system in the healthy group was 24.30%, 38.80%, 26.02%, and 10.86% for type A, O, B, and AB, respectively, while in the COVID-19 patients, the distribution was 36%, 28%, 26%, and 10% for type A, O, B, and AB, respectively. Blood group type A was significantly high in the patient group (36%) compared to healthy participants, whereas the type O blood group was significantly low in patients (28%) compared to control participants. Conclusion: People with blood group A are at high risk to infect with COVID-19 (P < 0001) and the Odds ratio (OR) is 1.7. While blood group O is considered a protective factor against COVID-19 (P = 0.002) and the OD ratio is 0.6. Blood type A was most prevalent in nonsurvivor COVID-19 patients than survivors (P < 0.0001).","PeriodicalId":55681,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Scientific Society","volume":"24 1","pages":"364 - 367"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139344460","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}
