Toxoplasmosis awareness among women
Toxoplasmosis, a prevalent zoonotic infection caused by Toxoplasma gondii, poses significant risks for pregnant women. Despite its global prevalence, awareness remains inconsistent, particularly in endemic regions like Pakistan. A cross-sectional study evaluated knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of 612 women in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, using a validated questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests (χ2), Spearman's correlation,…
Prevalence and impact of long Covid-19 among patients with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in Bangladesh
Introduction: Co-prevalence of long-COVID-19, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes is one of the major health challenges of the pandemic worldwide. Studies on long-COVID-19 and associated health outcomes are absent in Bangladesh. The main aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and impact of long-COVID-19 on preexisting diabetes and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) on health outcomes among patients in Bangladesh. Methods: We collected data…
Effect of Amnioguard and Biomesh GTR Membranes with Novabone Putty in the Treatment of Periodontal Osseous Defects—A Communication
(1) Background: Guided tissue regeneration was an effective surgical procedure in the management of intrabony defects and has undergone a number of changes in terms of materials and techniques. The aim of this study is to compare AmnioGuard and BioMesh in combination with NovaBone putty in intrabony defects. (2) Methodology: Ten patients who needed regenerative periodontal therapy were randomly allocated into two groups based on the inclusion cri…
Control of the Covid-19 pandemic is derailing the fight against typhoid, dengue, and measles in Pakistan
Infectious diseases have repeatedly reshaped the course of civilization, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality around the world. Infectious diseases respect neither borders nor barriers and 70% of the world is underprepared to prevent, detect, and respond to them quickly and effectively. [1]. SARS-CoV-2 is the example of the latest emerging pathogen resulting in over [...]
In-Vitro Assessment of the Corrosion Potential of an Oral Strain of Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria on Metallic Orthodontic Materials
This in vitro study suggested that the oral strain of Sulfate-reducing bacteria was able to induce corrosive changes in the experimental setup
Role of Toothbrushes as Gene Expression Profiling Tool for Oral Cancer Screening in Tobacco and Alcohol Users
A toothbrush is a good source of RNA, and gene expression analysis can be performed using the genetic material retrieved from toothbrushes, which can aid in the early diagnosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma among tobacco and alcohol users. Further studies with a larger sample size and different durations of toothbrush use should be conducted to explore the role of toothbrushes as a noninvasive tool for disease diagnosis
Evaluation of Candidiasis in Upper-Aerodigestive Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients—A Clinico-Mycological Aspect
Candida is a commensal yeast. It can be infective when the host's defense mechanism is weakened, as in the case of squamous cell carcinoma patients. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence and clinical mycological manifestation of candidiasis in 150 cancer cases comprised of preoperative and post-operative (with or without radiotherapy) upper aerodigestive squamous cell carcinoma. A total of 150 patients suffering from squamous cell carcinoma of the …
Detection of Nail Oncometabolite Saicar in Oral Cancer Patients and Its Molecular Interactions with PKM2 Enzyme
Oncometabolites are known to drive metabolic adaptations in oral cancer. Several oncometabolites are known to be shared between cancer cells and non-cancer cells including microbiotas to modulate the tumor microenvironment. Among potential oncometabolites, succinylaminoimidazolecarboxamide ribose5'-phosphate (SAICAR) supports the growth and invasiveness of cancer cells by pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) enzyme in a glucose starved tumor microenvironmen…
