Neurofibromatosis is an autosomal dominant disorder that affects the bone, the nervous system, soft-tissue, and the skin. The expressivity of the disease is extremely variable, with manifestations ranging from mild lesions to several complications and functional impairment. The penetrance, otherwise, is 100%. Approximately 72% of Neurofibromatosis Type1 patients present with oral manifestations. These patients have an estimated 3-15% additional risk of malignant disease in their life-time. The following report presents a 32 year old lady diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 in childhood who presented to department with complain of bleeding gums. Radiograph showed shallow sigmoid notch on left side, obtuse and thinned out left angle of mandible which are some additional features. A multidisciplinary approach of dental and medical specialties was taken here for oral rehabilitation and to manage and treat periodontal manifestations and other oral complaints. Case was followed for more than 6 years. Neurofibromatosis has no cure hence when such patients report to dental professionals it is up to them to act as primary care giver and instill positive frame of mind to help reduce stressful life events.

Arsenic is a naturally occurring element in the earth's crust. Chronic arsenic poisoning has been regularly reported predominantly due to occupational exposure in the literature. Acute arsenic poisoning is very rare. A 27-year-old gentleman was brought to the hospital with a history of suicide attempt by consumption of arsenic trioxide diluted in water. He initially manifested with gastrointestinal manifestations along with tachycardia. The patient was treated with fluid resuscitation, antidote-Dimercaprol, dialysis, and other supportive treatment. The patient continued to deteriorate with deranged liver and renal function, coagulopathy, and neurological symptoms. The presence of coagulopathy further complicated the scenario, as the antidote which is administered as an intramuscular injection could not be given. The patient continued to deteriorate and eventually succumbed. Acute arsenic poisoning is very rare, and very few reports of suicide are reported. It initially presents with acute gastroenteritis symptoms followed by multi organ involvement. Fatal doses will invariably result in death irrespective of treatment modality. Rapid administration of antidote and supportive treatment might increase the chances of survival. Difficulty in the availability of oral antidote and unavailability of any Intravenous preparations further complicates the scenario.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a neoplastic disease of bone marrow. AML M3 variant frequently develops swiftly and if not intervened immediately may prove fatal. This report presents a 32-year-old female who reported to dental OPD with complaint of bleeding gums and no previous medical history. On examination suspicious lesions were seen and patients was advised for full blood workup and Peripheral Blood Smear (PBS) investigations which revealed features suggestive of AML M3. The significant findings of this case are just presentation of oral manifestations, quick progression from initial symptoms to end stage and mild increase in WBC count which is uncommon for AML M3 variant. For many types of cancer, finding it early might make it uncomplicated to treat. This report outlines how a periodontist proved to be an asset in diagnosing a case of AML.

Background: Superficial fungal infections are one of the commonest human infections. Causative agents of such infections may vary from yeasts like Candida species , Trichosporon species to dermatophytes and non-dermatophyte moulds. Fungal culture therefore, holds importance in identification and characterization of a fungal isolate, so that proper diagnosis can be made and correct treatment is instituted. Our objective was to study the etiology of the superficial fungal infections in patients presenting to the dermatology department in a tertiary care hospital in New Delhi. Materials and Methods: A total of 340 skin and hair samples from patients clinically suspected to have superficial fungal infection of skin and hair were microscopically examined and cultured over a period of 2 years. The percentage and frequency distribution of etiological fungal agents was studied. Also the performance of the culture and microscopy as methods of detecting fungal agents was statistically compared using Kappa and proportions of positive and negative agreement as well as McNemar’s Chi-squared value. Corresponding p-values were also calculated for both kappa and Chi-squared values. The analysis has been done using Epitools. Results: Of these, 57.6% were positive for fungal elements by microscopic examination and the overall positivity of fungal infection was 70%. Out of 238 culture positive samples, 72.7% grew dermatophytes and 27.3% grew non-dermatophytes (including 16.8% yeasts and 10.9% non-dermatophyte moulds. commonest (60.7%)

Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the commonest form of arthritis which presents with joint pain and functional limitations. Oxaceprol, a derivative of hydroxyproline, inhibits leukocyte migration into the joints thus inhibiting inflammatory process. Oxaceprol also increases availability of Glucosamine and improving uptake of Glucosamine and Proline in chondrocytes. Aims and Objective: To demonstrate efficacy of Oxaceprol Monotherapy versus Oxaceprol and Glucosamine combination therapy in patients diagnosed with Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA). Materials and Methods: This was an open labelled, parallel group, Randomized Controlled Trial where 40 adults age ≥50 years diagnosed with KOA randomly received either Oxaceprol 600mg OD for 4 weeks, or combination of Oxaceprol 600mg OD and Glucosamine Sulphate 1500mg OD for 4 weeks. The patients were analysed as per the differences between WOMAC scale scores, and visual analogue scale (VAS) recording from baseline to 4 weeks of treatment. Results: Our study showed that both Oxaceprol monotherapy (group A, n=20), and Glucosamine plus Oxaceprol combination therapy (group B, n=20) improved joint pain, stiffness, and functionality as shown by analysing WOMAC scores before, and after 4 weeks of treatment. Interestingly, VAS scores, though improved in both the groups individually, were not significantly different from each other. Conclusion: Regardless of limitations, we conclude that the efficacy of Oxaceprol and Glucosamine combination therapy is better than Oxaceprol monotherapy. Further studies are required to examine mechanism of this effect at cellular level. Original Article

Background: Superficial mycosis is a very common fungal infection worldwide of the skin, hair and nails by dermatophytes, non dermatophytes and yeasts. Though they do not cause mortality, but are important agents causing morbidity, cosmetic disfigurement and recurrence leading to a major public health problem. Aim: Determine the clinico-mycological correlation and prevalence of dermatophytosis. Material and Methods: A six months observational cross sectional study was conducted from July 2019-December 2019 on 156 clinically diagnosed cases of superficial mycosis with no systemic complaints. Specimens were examined macroscopically as well as microscopically by KOH and culture. Result: Dermatophytosis was more in the males <40 years. KOH positivity was 100% and dermatophytes were the commonest superficial fungal infection 101/156 (64.74%), followed by Candidiasis 36/156 (23.08%). Non dermatophyte moulds in 06/156 (3.85%) and Malassezia furfur in 13/156 (8.33%) cases. Trichophyton was the commonest dermatophyte isolated (52.47%). Conclusions: Non-dermatophytic fungi are emerging as an important cause of superficial mycoses.
