Background: During the process of unknown person’s identification from mutilated remains, gender determination is one of the prefatory procedures. After gender determination, age estimation helps to reduce the range of potential matches for unknown person’s identification. Skeletal and dental components are chiefly used in such cases as these two structures survive longest after death of individual. Mandibular bone being more resistant to degradation & destruction, also being durable and retain shape better than other facial bones can be useful in identification.

Introduction: To combat malnutrition and its related consequences during the early stages of life, appropriate complementary feeding is essential. Moreover, developing complementary foods that address the gaps between the daily energy and nutrient requirements of infants and young children and the amount obtained from breastfeeding should be designed. Materials and Methods: The objective of this study was to develop nutrient-dense ready-to-cook cereal mixes for 12-23 months children.A market survey wasconducted to gain information regarding locally available foods.

Down syndrome (DS) is a genetic disorder associated with various craniofacial abnormalities, including malocclusion. Understanding the prevalence and types of malocclusion in individuals with DS is crucial for developing tailored orthodontic treatment plans and improving their oral health and quality of life.

Human Resource management systems have helped organizations simplify their day-to-day HR-related jobs. These systems meticulously combine different HR functions under one platform. These applications have helped the employees to accomplish the business goals of an organization. These days organizations are planning to link their HRMS tools with artificial intelligence (AI) so that work accuracy and the productivity of the employees can increase. AI is a rapidly growing and fast-moving technology but practical implementation of the same in the HR domain might take time.

Background: Drug discovery is the process by which therapeutic agents are identified and developed while drug delivery refers to the processes and technologies employed to provide vehicles through which therapeutic agents are administered to patients ensuring safety, efficacy, and quality. Synthetic materials were favoured against natural materials due to challenges of standardization and extensive characterization required for natural materials.

Pulmonary vein thrombosis (PVT) is an uncommon disease with a very similar clinical presentation as pulmonary artery embolism. We present a case of a 53 year old female patient who presented with chest pain and shortness of breath and was later found to have pulmonary vein thrombosis. The diagnoses was established with a CT scan of chest which showed a filling defect in a right segmental pulmonary vein. Patient was started on heparin drip and later discharged on oral apixiban. Three month later, CT scan showed resolution of thrombus.

Epithelial downgrowth syndrome represents a significant complication subsequent to ocular surgery or trauma. Herein, we present a comprehensive description of a specific case of this complication following an eye trauma in a child of 8 years old. This case highlights the challenges in diagnosing and managing epithelial downgrowth syndrome, particularly in pediatric patients following traumatic eye injuries.
