ABSTRACT This study assessed the efficacy and safety of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir (OBV/PTV/r) combined with dasabuvir (DSV) for treating hepatitis C genotype 4 (GT4) and genotype 1 (GT1) in patients with stage 4 or 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD). Among 88 patients, including treatment-naïve and Peginterferon/Ribavirin (RBV)-experienced, treated with OBV/PTV/r±RBV (dosed between 200 mg per week to daily) and additional DSV for GT1, 94.3% achieved sustained virologic response at 12 weeks (SVR12), demonstrating high efficacy. RBV was used at the discretion of the treating physician. The treatment was well-tolerated, with two non-treatment-related deaths reported. The findings suggest that a 12-week regimen of OBV/PTV/r±DSV is highly effective and safe for GT1 and GT4 patients with advanced CKD, regardless of baseline characteristics.

ABSTRACT The present study was aimed at evaluating the variations in fibrin network patterns of the platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) procured from diabetics, non-diabetics, and smokers suffering from chronic periodontitis. Five milliliters of blood were drawn using a syringe from 60 participants (systemically healthy non-diabetics, diabetics, and smokers) who were diagnosed with chronic periodontitis. Five milliliters of blood were transferred to a dry glass tube. The clot (PRF) obtained after centrifugation from the glass tube was processed for light microscopy analysis. The PRF samples have demonstrated the presence of both dense and loose fibrin networks. There is an increase in cellular content in diabetic participants compared to systemically healthy and smoker participants. Smoker participants demonstrated a higher amount of loose fibrin content, which was arranged irregularly. A significantly greater increase in cellular content and loose fibrin network is seen in diabetics and smokers, respectively, compared to systemically healthy individuals. As compared to the systemically healthy participants, there is a variation in the fibrin network pattern and distribution of cellular structures in diabetic and smoker participants.

ABSTRACT The study focuses on creating a stacking device for medical urine cups, integrating pressing, storing, and collecting mechanisms to streamline palletizing without manual intervention. This approach enhances efficiency and reduces costs. The device features a working table equipped with a pressing device at the top and a holding device below it, followed by a collecting device at the bottom. The pressing device is composed of a motor, a CAM, a pressing cylinder head, an F-shaped frame, and a large spring. This configuration ensures that the urine cups maintain their shape and are tightly stacked without damage. A rubber ring facilitates a snug fit between the shaped column and the urine cup, evenly distributing force. In addition, a small spring and push block separate the column and cup, countering inertia and enhancing stacking quality. The device thus significantly improves the palletizing process of urine cups.

ABSTRACT One of the most crucial steps in providing the child’s oral health care and treatment needs is modifying his/her behavior, mood and emotion in any primary care/dental home or any speciality centre. This is very important parameters for any dental professionals and paediatric dentist. Through this study we investigated the knowledge, awareness of Emotional Artificial Intelligence (AI) as tool for modifying their behaviour prior to any treatment requirement. The study was conducted among dental professionals of located in different regions of eastern India. We used a consecutive sampling method to collect our sample. Out of the 120 participating dental professionals, 30% professionals believed that emotional AI could monitor a child’s acceptance to treatment. Despite a low perception level of emotional AI by the dentist, 71% agreed on the beneficial effect of Emotional Artificial Intelligence (AI) in an emergency or uncooperative child if such technology exist. Regression model showed that certain key influencers can increase the quality of healthcare by 3 times which could favors Emotional Artificial Intelligence as an adjunct to Pediatric dentists in managing children.

ABSTRACT The Objective of the study is to assess the effectiveness of Knack manoeuvre among women with urinary incontinence. A quasi-experimental study with a repeated measures design was used to conduct study at Saveetha Medical College Hospital. Experimental group received Knack manoeuvre for 6 months and control group received routine care. The sample size was 100, which was recruited by purposive sampling technique. The data were collected with structured questionnaire, and questionnaire for urinary incontinence diagnosis and biophysiological parameters were assessed by abdominal leak peak pressure (ALPP). The study results depict that frequency and percentage distribution of pretest and post-test level of ALPP. Between group comparison of post-test at 6 months of control and experimental showed significance (P < 0.001). There was a progressive decrease in ALPP of control and experimental groups.
