Introduction: Skull is most commonly found and recovered intact among all the bones of the body. Though, anthropometric measurements can determine the gender of the individual, the morphometric analysis of the skull can also aid in gender determination. Morphometric analysis of maxillary sinus can be accurately measured using new imaging modalities like CBCT. Aims and Objectives: To assess the accuracy of maxillary morphometric parameters in gender determination. Materials and Methods: 200 maxillary sinus CBCT images were acquired retrospectively from the database to measure various parameters of the maxillary sinus. All measurements were carried out using CS softwareVer.3.3.11. All the values were recorded on an excel sheet and were subjected to statistical analysis. Results: Comparison of the measurements of maxillary sinus between males and females showed that the overall parameters were significantly greater in males than in females. The final result of the discriminative analysis shows that the ability of maxillary sinus to identify gender was 69% in males, 68% in females with an overall accuracy of 68.5%. Conclusion: Maxillary sinus morphometrics can be helpful in predicting the gender of the individual. The role of the oral radiologist in gender determination is important as his expertise in the field of head and neck radiology along with CBCT interpretations of maxillary morphometrics can help the forensic team to predict the gender of an individual.

Background: Facial appearance often plays a vital role in forming an impression of others, especially during the initial stages of acquaintance. The impression one gets of the other person during this initial encounter is often a long lasting one and could be either positive or negative at different times. Looks, however, play an important role during this first impression. Materials & Methods: The attractiveness of different smile variables on the perception of smile esthetics was evaluated. The study consisted of 3 groups of evaluators: General dentists (100), dental students (100) and patients (100). 4 pleasant smile pictures of young females were selected and modified with one esthetic parameter each of midline diastema, crown length, gingival display, and midline shift. Results: A small amount of space between the maxillary central incisors was not rated as unattractive by any group. The general dentists and dental students were more critical than patients when evaluating midline diastema discrepancy. The general dentists and dental students did not perceive a change in attractiveness until the midline shift was 3mm. While the patients did not perceive any change in attractiveness even at the maximum of 4mm shift. A reduction of maxillary lateral incisor by 1.5mm was rated unattractive by the general dentists and the dental students while patients perception for attractive smile changed when the crown length was reduced to 2mm. Conclusion: The type and degree of deviation from the norm and the opinion of the patient need to be taken into consideration. Among all the four esthetic parameters, midline diastema was more unattractive for all the groups. So, correction of this parameter by the dental professional is of paramount importance for a better esthetic result.

The immune system is comprised of biological structures and processes within an organism that protects against diseases. This system has been discussed extensively since the introduction of medicine and yet has remained the most enigmatic. Continuous research in the field has yielded better but not complete understanding of concepts of immunity and related disorders. Although researchers have learned much about the immune system, new technologies for identification of individual immune cells are now allowing scientists to determine which targets are triggering immune response against healthy self. The detailed understanding of immunological tolerance, its regulatory network, combination of new technologies and expanded genetic information may increase the awareness to make it possible to control degree of auto reactivity in the immune system and lay down new hope for treatment of autoimmune diseases in the future.

Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology and involves many organs. The liver is the third most commonly involved organ after the lymph nodes and the lungs, usually clinically silent. As in the other organs, liver sarcoidosis is characterized histopathologically by non-caseating granulomas. In rare instances (5% of cases), liver sarcoidosis is complicated by portal hypertension or chronic cholestasis. The aim of this study is to show that liver sarcoidosis can cause portal hypertension without progression to cirrhosis.

Benign breast diseases constitute a heterogeneous group of disorders including developmental abnormality, epithelial and stromal proliferation, inflammatory lesions and neoplasm. Benign breast lesions deserve attention because of their high prevalence, their impact on women’s life and due to cancerous potential of some histological types. So the study is aimed to attempt clinico-pathological correlation of non-neoplastic lesion of breast lump with detail history and pathological findings. The present study is prospective and retrospective study of non-neoplastic breast lesions carried out in department of pathology with the help of department of surgery at one of the teaching hospital in north Maharashtra. The retrospective study was done between May 2015 to July 2018 and prospective study between august 2018 to may 2019. Total one hundred cases of non neoplastic lesions of breast were studied in detail with relation to available clinical data. Tissue for H&E sections were fixed in 10% formalin and subjected to routine paraffin embedded processing and stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin. Out of 78 cases of non- neoplastic lesions of female breast, 45 cases 57.96% were of benign proliferative lesions, 30 cases 38.46% of inflammatory lesions and 3 cases of miscellaneous lesions. Maximum numbers of cases were found in age group 21-50 years with commonly presented with lump and pain. Inflammatory lesions and fibrocystic disease are the two common non neoplastic lesions of the breast tented to occur in 2nd to 4th decade of life. The most common presenting complaints are lump and pain in the breast.

The aim of the study was to investigate Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in peri implant crevicular fluid (PMICF) in direct and indirect anchorage side during orthodontic tooth movement in humans. Material and Method: A split mouth technique of ten patients requiring all first premolar extractions were selected and treated with absolute anchorage. Enmase-retraction was done using 150 g sentalloy springs at both direct and indirect anchorage side. Maxillary Ist quadrant side acted as direct anchorage site, while second quadrant acted as indirect anchorage site. Peri implant crevicular fluid was collected from mesial crevices of mini implant before initiation of retraction (baseline), and after initiation of retraction on 1st, 7th, 14th and 21st day and the Alkaline phosphatase activity was estimated using ELISA method. Results: There was no significant difference in means value of Alkaline Phosphatase of two groups at any interval. But the mean difference of Alkaline Phosphatase for all intervals between two group was statistically significant. Conclusions: The overall means of Alkaline Phosphatase of direct method was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than indirect anchorage group.

Objective: The objective of this study is to compare the apical sealability of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) Fillapex and Endosequence BC sealer at three different lengths of remaining gutta-percha after postspace preparation. Materials and Methods: A total of 160 freshly extracted human maxillary anterior teeth were decoronated, biomechanically prepared, and randomly divided into four groups; Group A and Group B served as positive and negative control with 20 teeth each. The teeth in Group C and Group D (with 60 teeth each) were obturated with gutta-percha using MTA Fillapex sealer and Endosequence BC sealer, respectively. Teeth in Group C and Group D were further subdivided into three subgroups depending on the length of remaining apical gutta-percha, i.e., 3, 4, and 5 mm after postspace preparation. Apical leakage was assessed using dye penetration method under stereomicroscope. Results: In both the Groups C and D, there was overall no statistically significant difference in leakage; however, Group C showed slightly more leakage than Group D. There was a statistically significant difference in leakage at 3 mm and 5 mm level in both groups. Conclusion: Although less microleakage occurred, the bioceramic sealers could not totally eliminate leakage.

A total of 5786 cesarean sections (C.S.) were done at Al_Diwaniyah maternity and children teaching hospital at 1 year interval from January 2018 to January 2019. The C.S. were analyzed and compared with reports from other parts of the world. Out of a total admissions of 15054 pregnant woman, 5786 ended with cesarean sections, and 9268 ended with normal vaginal delivery. The incidence of cesarean section was 38.4% and the incidence of normal vaginal delivery was 61.5%. The age of patients were between 15-40 years old

Aim and Objectives: The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of single visit apexification versus complete obturation with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate and Biodentine on the fractured resistance of simulated immature teeth. Material and Method: Forty five freshly extracted non-carious maxillary central incisors with single canal were selected. The apical 5mm of each tooth was then removed, access cavity preparation followed by preparation using peeso reamers was done to simulate Cvek’s stage 3 of root development. Irrigation protocol was carried out followed by randomization of samples and then canals were obturated using different materials. Fracture testing was done under universal testing machine and the ultimate load to fracture was recorded in Newtons. Statistical Analysis: Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 20.0 Software. One way analysis of variance followed by pair wise comparison of the groups was performed using Tukey’s post hoc test. The level of significance was set at 95% (p < 0.05). Results: All the experimental groups had a statistically higher value of fracture resistance than the control groups. Group I (entire canal obturated with MTA) showed highest value of fracture resistance followed by group III (entire canal obturated with biodentine), group II and group IV. Conclusion: Reinforcing immature teeth with bioactive materials such as MTA and biodentine is advantageous for apexification. Clinical Significance: Full MTA obturation clinically in patients might produce high success rate of apexification as compared to MTA and Biodentine apical plug and gutta percha obturation

Interest in felony disenfranchisement is growing rapidly because of the rising rates of felony offenses and disenfranchisement. In fact, an estimated 6 million Americans are denied the right to vote as a result of their felony convictions. Felony disenfranchisement is an obstacle to participation in democratic life- a reality exacerbated by the current racial disparities in the criminal justice system which result in 1 out of every 13 Blacks being unable to vote (Sentencing Project, 2015). As there is little we know about the differences between Black and felony experiences with disenfranchisement, this study focused on everyday disenfranchisement experiences that research suggests Black males face. The focus was on perceived discriminations resulting from entitlement programs (i.e. employment, housing, educational and other forms of government assistance). It was predicted the persons with felonies would have a different perception of disenfranchisement or discrimination, but results indicated both groups perceived similar experiences with discrimination, confirming findings in the extant literature.

Background: Worldwide health systems are facing an increasing number of challenges, while governments remain dedicated to searching for cost-effective options to enhance the capacity of national health systems to perform well. Although the relationship between devolution and disparities in access to health care is mixed, most studies do not attribute observed disparities in healthcare use to Devolution. This review was performed to synthesize evidence around this issue. Specifically, the objective was to answer the question: “What are the contribution of devolution in health financing, health leadership, and health information systems?”. Methods: CrossRef, Google Scholar, Academic keys, Open Academic journals index, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and PsycINFO were searched with terms related to devolution and health. The search included terms related to health financing, health information systems, and health leadership. Findings were presented within a narrative synthesis. Quality of the evidence was evaluated using the Cochrane risk of bias tool and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. Findings: A few studies, all cross-sectional studies, met the selection criteria for this review. Most studies noted the Healthcare is a major element of national budgets worldwide in as much as all levels vary across countries, systems have come under increased pressure to ensure that resources are spent efficiently.

Background: In the past three decades, health reform has become commonplace in most countries. Such that reforms decentralized governance of health systems has been adopted in some countries as a subset of broader health reforms or as a preferred management strategy. This review was performed to synthesize evidence around this issue. Specifically, the objective was to answer the question: “What is the role of devolution in service delivery, health workforce and medical commodities acquisition?”. Methods: CrossRef, Google Scholar, Academic keys, Open Academic journals index, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and PsycINFO were searched with terms related to devolution and health. The search included terms related to service delivery, health workforce and medical commodities. Findings were presented within a narrative synthesis. Quality of the evidence was evaluated using the Cochrane risk of bias tool and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. Findings: A few studies, all cross-sectional studies, met the selection criteria for this review. Most studies noted the major benefits resulting from devolution in terms of local governance and citizen participation in the health service delivery sector. The UK and India are some of the countries with evidence of how devolution impacts positively from accountability and participation. Some of benefits reaped include developed leadership, effective monitoring, promotion of quick delegation of work and generation of interest among employees. In Kenya, health sector still undergoes significant human resource deficiency, in spite of the government investing over the years from independent and also considering the devolution of health services. Healthcare workers shortage affects how health institutions functions. Studies showed that health workers positively respond to the demands of human resource of a decentralized unit if they look for employment in it, if a post is offered, they accept, and stays in service. Their ability and willingness to act in response to local demands are due to a number of factors. However, there is little literature on the best level of the government in provision of public type medical services. The recent focus has been entirely on the merits of local provision. Local governments are more responsive to their citizens compared to the central government. Conclusions: A universal objective of health systems should be to reduce inequality in health and promote equity, but the impact of Devolution of health system governance on equity has been questioned.
