Purpura Fulminans (PF) is a life-threatening thrombotic disorder of acute onset which is characterized by cutaneous hemorrhage due to severe bacterial, viral infections or may be idiopathic. Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), antiphospholipid antibodies and acquired or congenital C and S protein deficiency play a role in its pathogenesis. Here we report two cases of purpura fulminans in infants due to viral infections (dengue hemorrhagic fever and disseminated varicella) complicated by DIC.

Background: Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) has become one of the major causes of mortality in the world at present, and it is for this reason various researches are being done for its diagnosis and prognostic assessment. Serum enzyme estimation is an important tool for it. Aim: To study changes in serum cardiac markers, after acute attack of MI Before & 2 hours after reperfusion and to establish usefulness of enzymes in early diagnosis of AMI.

Esthetics in implantology is a topic which is currently gaining a lot of attention from dental implantologists all over the world. It includes both white and red esthetics. This was a case of missing maxillary anterior tooth that is left central incisor. Patient was wearing a removable partial denture and was not satisfied with the appearance of it and so wanted a fixed prosthesis with good esthetics which was compromised earlier. An ideal implant should have all the three dimensions stable that is mesio-distal, apicocoronal and orofacial for proper implant position in maxilla.

Objective: To determine the effect of two different composite resins by using different filling techniques through measuring the gingival microleakage in class II cavity. Materials and methods: Standardized 80 class II cavities were prepared in the proximal surfaces of forty extracted non caries permanent molars and randomly were divided into two main groups (A and B) 40 cavities for each group.

Objectives: Using a review of the literature, we described our technique for laparoendoscopic single site surgery orchidopexy using glove port and rigid instruments and we assessed its feasibility and its outcomes. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the case records of all children who had undergone laparoendoscopic single site surgery orchidopexy for a nonpalpable intraabdominal testis between January 2013 and September 2014, using surgical glove port and conventional rigid instruments in children. Results: A total of 20 patients were collected. Mean age was 18 months.

Partially edentulous patients with challenging conditions like abused ridges, allergy to denture resins, undercuts due to angulated remaining teeth, cancerous lesions and cleft palate pose a great challenge for the fabrication of a successful removable partial denture. In such cases flexible dentures offer a comfortable and affordable option. It was a long thought that removable partial dentures had to be rigid but with innovation of flexible dentures, flexibility combined with strength and light weight provides total comfort and great looks.

Background: Acne vulgaris (AV) is a skin disorder that most often encountered, nearly 80% of teenagers and young adults had suffered from AV, its pathogenesis is not clear, but some studies have shown that dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is the androgen that is most responsible, especially in women, there is a correlation between DHT by the number of lesions. Soy tempeh contains soy isoflavones with the active component genistein, daidzein and glycitein, consumption in Asian countries four times more than in western countries, with the average of 24-45 mg per day.

Knowledge of normal organ weights gives the doctors idea about of whether the organ is normal or not. So, it is very important for autopsy surgeons to know the organ weights. But, Organ weights probably depend on part on body weight of the individual. So, current study was undertaken at Mortuary complex of S.S.G. Hospital, Baroda during 1st July 2013 to 30th June 2015. Total 200 cases based on inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected and subjected to statistical analysis. Results obtained were compared with earlier studies.

An acrylic model of upper left anterior teeth(11,12,13),lower anterior(41,42,31), lower right posterior teeth (44,45,46)and lower left posterior(34,35,36) was prepared in typhodont with the standard set of burs which is suitable for ceramic preparation was used to achieve the controlled tooth substance removal.The preparation featured a 1.5mm occlusal height reduction, a 1mm of chamfer ended margin and an axial reduction of 1.5mm SPRAYING AND DIGITILIZATION: A totally 12 prepared tooth placed in the typhodont with the normal adjacent teeth and the typhodont mounted on the fantam head after

Objective: To test the validity and reliability of arabic-language version of the knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score physical function short form to measure the physical function in knee osteoarthritic patients.
