Materials and Methods: Children from 4 to 16 years with no previous dental experience were recruited. Based on Piaget′s stages of cognitive development, they were divided into three age groups, namely, Group I: 2-7 years, Group II: 7-11 years, and Group III: >11 years. Three videos demonstrating operative procedures performed under one of the isolation methods (1) rubber dam, (2) cotton rolls, and (3) saliva ejector were displayed and asked about their preference. The data were tabulated and statistically analyzed using Chi-square test for the difference in their preferences based on cognitive level of children. Results: A total of 360 children participated in the survey. Both 8-11 years and >11 years age group children preferred saliva ejector while 2-7 years group preferred rubber dam. Statistically, significant difference was observed (P < 0.001) among different age groups. No significant difference was observed between boys and girls regarding the preference to isolation techniques (P = 0.821). Most of the children preferred saliva ejector (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Children′s perceptions and preferences are strongly influenced by the level of their cognitive development with children age 2-7 years preferred rubber dam whereas other age groups preferred saliva ejector.

We here report a case of Giant cell tumour of middle phalanx of right ring finger in an 18 years-old female with evidence of recurrence after primary treatment and subsequent management. During clinical and radiological evaluation one should give proper importance to the fact that giant cell tumour can occur in extremely rare location and it has aggressive behaviour and potential of local recurrence.

Principally concentrating on preventive measures and the treatment of the Nipah Virus. NiV is an individual from the family Paramyxoviridae, class Henipavirus. NiV was at first recognized in 1999, amid a flare-up of Encephalitis and respiratory sickness among pig ranchers and individuals with close contact with pigs in Malaysia and Singapore. Nipah infection caused a generally gentle ailment in pigs, yet almost 300 human cases with more than 100 passings were accounted for in 1999. Not just in Malaysia its spread around the world. A case-controlled survey ponder is directed to decide word related hazard factors for disease. Contact with live pigs, earmarks of being the essential hazard factor for human Nipah infection disease. Coordinate contact with life, possibly contaminated pigs ought to be limited to forestall transmission of this conceivably lethal ZOONOSIS to pe...

Shortage of organs has led centers to expand their criteria for the acceptance of marginal donors. There is current debate about the regulation and results of liver transplantation using marginal grafts. Methods The study included data of all patients who received deceased donor liver grafts between March 2007 to December 2011. Patients with acute liver failure, living donor transplantation, split liver transplantation, and retransplantation were excluded. Early allograft dysfunction, primary nonfunction, patient survival, and incidence of surgical complications were measured. Results A total of 33 patients were enrolled in this study. There were 20 marginal and 13 nonmarginal grafts. The two groups were well matched regarding age, sex and indication of liver transplantation, model for end-stage liver disease score, technique of transplant, requirement of vascular reconstruction, warm ischemia time, blood loss, mean operative time, etc. In our study, posttransplant peak level of liver enzymes, international normalization ratio, and bilirubin were not statistically significant in the marginal and nonmarginal group. Wound infection occurred in 10 % of marginal compared with 7.7 % of nonmarginal graft recipients (p>0.05). In the marginal group, the incidences of vascular complications, hepatic artery thrombosis (four), and portal vein thrombosis (one) were not statistically significant compared to the nonmarginal group. Acute rejection was observed in a total of seven patients (21.2 %)-five (25 %) in the marginal group and two (15.4 %) in the nonmarginal graft recipients. Primary nonfunction occurred in three (9.1 %) patients-two (10 %) in the marginal and one (7.7 %) in the nonmarginal group. Average patient survival for the whole group was 91 % at 1 week, 87.8 % at 3 months, and 84.8 % at 6 months. Conclusion Because organ scarcity persists, additional pressure will build to use a greater proportion of the existing donor pool. The study, although small, clearly indicates that marginal livers can assure a normal early functional recovery after transplantation.
