A Quasi Experimental study to assess the effectiveness of Jacobson's Progressive Muscle Relaxation (JPMR) Training on anxiety level of alcoholic patients admitted for de-addiction in selected hospitals, Jalandhar, Punjab. The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of Jacobson's Progressive Muscle Relaxation (JPMR) training on anxiety level of alcoholic patients admitted for de-addiction. Results depicted that the mean pre training anxiety score of experimental group was 22.26 and mean post training score was 7.93.

Role of pilu (toothbrush tree) in periodontal health

Meticulous plaque control on a daily routine basis is the single most important step to achieve good oral health. Herbal chewing sticks, commonly known as pilu are among the ancient and traditional oral hygiene aids popular in India, Pakistan, most of the Arabian countries, and several African countries. But nowadays, because of low cost, free availability, unique chemical composition, and spiritual beliefs, Pilu is being used worldwide. A large number of studies have proved that Pilu is as effective as, or even superior to the present day′s most common oral hygiene aid, i.e., toothbrush.

Hospital infection associated with periodontal disease as risk factor for Nosocomial pneumonia

Hospital infections are related to great morbidity and mortality in intensive care units, and the high cost of spending on treatment for the disease. Seeking to establish the profile of the need for oral health care of these patients in preventing periodontal disease as a risk factor for infection nasocomial. A search was made through articles correlated with efficacy in the prevention and efficiencies techniques suitable for oral health care of these patients. The objective of this study was to review the need for a dentist.

Influence of the initial conduct in the prognosis of dental reimplantation

Introduction: Despite every existing resource to improve the prognosis of dental reimplantation, the helper’s chosen conduct is an essential factor to the success or failure of these cases. It is purpose of this work to discuss the influence of the helper’s initial care in the prognosis of dental reimplantation, reporting two cases of dental avulsion, under a nine-year follow-up, in which milk was used as storage medium. The good conduct must be disseminated to the population substantially improving the diagnosis of the cases.

Binders as functional ingredients in meat products - an overview

The article evaluates the effect of binders as functional ingredient in meat products and their physiological role in human health. Fibers are naturally occurring compounds present in variety of vegetables, fruits, cereal flours etc in abundance, and act through their solubility, viscosity, gel forming ability, water-binding capacity, oil adsorption capacity, ferment ability, and mineral and organic molecule binding capacity which affect product quality and characteristics.

Pregnancy and periodontal disease

Meticulous Periodontal diseases affect the majority of the population either as gingivitis or periodontitis. Recently there have been many studies that link or seek to find a relationship between periodontal disease and other systemic diseases including, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. For adverse pregnancy outcomes, the literature is inconclusive and the magnitude of the relationship between these 2 has not been fully decided.

Tissue engineering for dentinal- pulp complex regeneration

Tissue engineering is the employment of biologic therapeutic strategies aimed to the replacement, repair, maintenance, and/or enhancement of tissue function that applies the principles of engineering and life science. The key ingredients for tissue engineering are stem cells, morphogen or growth factor that regulate their differentiation, and scaffold that constitute the microenvironment for their growth. Recently, there has been increasing interest in applying the concept of tissue engineering to regenerate dentinal pulp complex.

Preoperative Celecoxib effect on postoperative pain management in patients undergoingleg surgery: A randomized clinical trial

Background: Preoperative pain management is an important aspect for anesthetists. Using analgesics before the surgery can delay pain feeling and analgesic request by patients. We compared the effectiveness and priority of single dose 400 mg celecoxib, over two doses of 200 mg celecoxib in patients undergoing leg surgery.
