Human identification is one of the most challenging tasks in forensic identification. Along with various other established methods, Cheiloscopy and Palatoscopy also play a key role in linking the criminal with the crime. The ability of a technique to differentiate the sex of a person in the field can help in screening a large number of subjects. This study aims to ascertain the use of lip prints and palatal rugae pattern in identification and sex determination.
Post-herpetic neuralgia is the chronic phase of herpes zoster, characterized by pain and an acute rash. Herpes zoster is caused by the reactivation of latent varicella virus that is thought to lie in the Gasserian, geniculate, and dorsal root ganglia after chickenpox infection in early life. Here, we present a case report of post-herpetic neuralgia in a 64-year-old male patient.
To compare the antibacterial efficiency of MTAD, 2.5% NaOCl, and 2% CHX when used as root canal irrigants against Enterococcus faecalis, 40 extracted human maxillary central incisors were selected and decoronated. An inoculum of 10µl of 24-hour pure culture suspension of Enterococcus faecalis was inserted into the root canals of all teeth. After incubation, the teeth were randomly divided into 4 groups of 10 teeth in each group and instrumented using the step-back technique. During the process of instrumentation, respective root canal irrigants were used as per the groups: Group A - MTAD, Group B - 2.5% NaOCl, Group C - 2% CHX, and Group D - saline. Pre and post-treatment samples were obtained, and bacterial culture was carried out. Results and Conclusion: The results were statistically analyzed using SYSTAT software and the Kruskal Wallis test. There was a statistically significant difference between all the groups. Group A showed the maximum antibacterial efficiency, followed by Group B, Group C, and Group D.
There are several free flaps that are commonly used for the reconstruction of head and neck defects, such as the radial free arm flap and latissimus dorsi flap. Free flaps are considered to be a reliable and effective method of reconstruction, with the potential advantage of immediate blood supply to the transferred tissue for nutrition. The radial flap, in particular, is commonly used for smaller defects. The technique for harvesting a free radial forearm flap is simple and can be used to reconstruct any regional defects in the oral cavity. This article discusses a series of case reports that were successfully reconstructed using the free radial forearm flap technique.
Rhino-orbital mucormycosis is a rare, but life threatening infection that generally occurs in patients with immune deficiency. As such the condition is a medical emergency. Early recognition and treatment are essential because it may lead to death within a few days. Fungal infections of the eye are uncommon but are being seen with increasing frequency in patients with immune deficiency. Current therapy for the invasive disease includes treating the underlying predisposing factors, antifungal therapy, and surgical debridement of the affected tissues. Early recognition of the disease and treating the underlying cause of mucormycosis are key to improving outcomes.
