Right to know is a right defined and considered in human rights, regarded by human rights communities more than ever in all topics of human rights. This topic has actually penetrated into medical system as a continuous objective for Ministry of Health in our country. In patient rights charter of Ministry of Health, right of patient to know is mentioned which is adopted from this right. Health authorities believe that patients must know about all diagnostic and treatment methods, power and weak points of each method and potential complications, disease diagnosis, prognosis and its consequences as well as all information affecting decision making. Finally with complete information they communicate their consent to medical system and physicians for treatment. Based on research findings, right of patient to know has been considered in the framework of patient rights charter in Health System Development Plan and it has been attempted to consider patient rights charter more than ever.

Background: Low level laser is a type of laser with various bio stimulatory effects; Potential effects of laser in accelerating bone regeneration and consequently facilitating tooth movement have been considered widely in orthodontics. Aims & Objectives: Aim of this study was to assess the effects of Low level laser on the velocity of mandibular first molar protraction in orthodontic patients. Materials and Methods: Total 28 young adult patients (14 females and 14 males; age range 16-25) requiring extraction of mandibular second premolars were selected and molar protraction was carried out with T-loop on a rectangular Stainless Steel wire. In each patient one side was selected by random to irradiate with low level laser and other side with placebo. Laser regimen was applied at 0, 1 and 2 days and at the end of first, second and third months. Tooth movement was measured on prepared models at the end of first, second and third month. Results: We found 1.3 fold increases in rate of tooth movement in the irradiated group (p=0.000) than non-irradiated group. Conclusion: Based on our findings, Low level laser accelerates tooth movement and consequently reduces treatment time. Key word: Low level laser; Tooth movement; First molar, Irradiation; Protraction

Introduction: Evaluation is one of the most important stages of education system. Student exams may be used both for student assessment and program evaluation. Given the significance of general medicine exams, the present study systematically reviews studies conducted on these exams in Iran in 2016.Methods : Available documents weresystematically reviewed and their information was collected. Using documents available in scientific databases suchas IranMedex, SID, Magiran, Medlib, PubMed, Google Scholar, ERIC by appropriate keywords (doctor, generalpractitioner, student, graduate, trainee, intern, exam, general sciences, pre-internship, skill and medical), 59 studies conducted on general medicine exams until March 2015 were extracted; of these studies, 10 studies which wereavailable in full text and met the least research quality were selected for the review. Results: Out of 10 studiesreviewed, 7 studies evaluated the effective factors on results of general medicine exams and 3 studies analyzed theresults of these exams. Meanwhile, results of those 7 studies showed that low GPA, delay in passing the basicsciences and age at the time of admission to the university are effective factors on results of exams. Results of threestudies analyzing exams showed that genetics and radiology gained the highest and parasitology, orthopedics andphysiology gained the lowest average percentage of scaled relative ratings. In analysis of 40 exams during a 20-yearperiod, 65.8% students were passed the exams in the first trial. However, 99.6% of participants continued their education after few trials. Conclusion: The factors such as length of stay in medical school and grand point averageof students are predicating comprehensive exam results in all the reviewed studies. Therefore, these factors can beconsidered as effective factors on results of general medicine exams.

Background: Hypertension, a major chronic lifestyle disease is most prevalent non communicable disease inIndia. Blood pressure (BP) measurements in the community are generally performed with a mercurysphygmomanometer. However, it is the common teaching that average of at least three readings of bloodpressure measurement is considered to be the gold-standard method. How far this is true has been determinedin this study with the Aim: To find out the prevalence of hypertension and compare the one reading of bloodpressure taken by mercury sphygmomanometer with average of three such readings. Materials andMethods:This cross-sectional study was conducted from January-March 2015 among 160 adults of Chetla slum, Kolkatachosen through a two stage sample design. ubjects included -Male: 39.4%; Female: 60.6%. Data was collectedby interview and blood pressure measurements. Comparison was made between the first reading and theaverage of three readings of BP taken by mercury sphygmomanometer. Result: The overall prevalence ofhypertension was found to be 30 % (48). Strength of agreement between first reading of Blood Pressure with thatof average reading was excellent, with kappa=0.940. Conclusion: Though the average of three blood pressurereadings according to Standard operation Procedure is considered ideal for accurate Blood Pressuremeasurement it may not always be feasible to undertake such a practice especially at community level. Thisstudy observes that single reading can safely be considered for Blood Pressure measurement instead of averageof three readings. Key words: Blood Pressure measurement, One reading, Average of three readings, Mercury sphygmomanometer, Slum.

Bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion is the condition characterized by procumbency of lips due to increased protrusion of maxillary and mandibular incisors. This condition can be due to tooth size arch length discrepancy, weak lip musculature unable to withstand strong tongue pressure. This results in severe labial tipping of incisors, which causes upper and lower lip protrusion. This case report describes the treatment of a 21-year old girl with bimaxillary protrusion and convex profile with incompetent lip seal. The treatment of choice for the patient was extraction of four first premolars and utilization of extraction space to reduce the facial convexity by retraction of anterior teeth. The anchorage requirement was maximum for complete correction of facial profile. Mini implants were used to retract the anterior teeth and improve facial aesthetic. Treatment was completed in 20 months. Patient`s facial profile improved significantly with reduced dental protrusion and lip eversion.

Background and objective: Cardiovascular diseases are becoming the major cause of morbidity and mortality in most of the developing countries including India. Various studies proposed that type A personality is an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease. Present study was carried out to study the role of type A personality in the occurrence of coronary artery disease. Materials and Methods: Present study was a hospital based paired matched case-control study, carried out at civil hospital, Ahmedabad. 135 newly diagnosed cases of coronary artery disease and 135 controls were studied after taking informed written consent. Data was analysed by using Epi-info version 3.5.1 computer package, Chi -square test, and Odds ratio were calculated. Results: Among the total 135 cases 70.4% were male and 29.6% were female, most of the cases (40%) were belongs to the age group of 51-60 years. In our study significantly higher number of the cases (28.9%) having Type A personality as compared to controls (12.6%), and this difference was statistically significant (X2= 10.90, P < 0.001). Conclusion: findings of our study suggest that type A personality is major etiology behind the occurrence of coronary artery disease. Awareness should be created among the people regarding type A behavior and also promote various stress management techniques like breathing exercises, stretching exercises, yoga, meditation which are quite helpful in reducing the risk of CAD.

Cystic lesions of the nasopharynx are typically benign and often found incidentally. The authors report a case of nasopharyngeal branchial cyst in a patient with hypoplastic maxillary, sphenoid and frontal sinuses. The patient underwent transnasal endoscopic resection of the cyst.Results showed that in the management of nasopharyngeal branchial cyst it is important to clarify the anatomic details of the paranasal sinuses with Computed tomography (CT) scan respect to correct diagnosis and appropriate surgical planning. Nasopharyngeal branchial cysts and paranasal sinus hypoplasia may have the same developmental cause.

Inflammation comprises a series of events that leads to a host response against trauma and microbial invasion, resulting in liquefaction of surrounding tissues to prevent microbial metastasis, and eventually to healing of injured tissue compartments. Thus, by definition, the host response involves not only the mechanisms of defence but also processes of repair of damage that occurs by the direct effect of invaders or trauma or host systems. Periodontal diseases are inflammatory processes in which microbial etiologic factors induce a series of host responses that mediate an inflammatory cascade of events in an attempt to protect and heal the periodontal tissues. The adjunctive use of host modulation therapy can enhance therapeutic responses, slow the progression of the disease, and allow for more predictable management of patients, particularly in those patients at increased risk caused by factors beyond the reach of conventional therapeutic approaches. Key words: Host modulation, NSAIDs, Bisphosphonates, immune-inflammatory response, MMPs
