Abstract

Introduction: Patients undergoing orthodontic therapy face greater difficulties in maintaining good oral hygiene. To improve mechanical plaque removal, a common strategy is to incorporate a chemotherapeutic agent. Thus, the effects of adding essential oil mouthwash to a standard oral hygiene regimen to maintain oral health were evaluated. Material and Method: Two groups were created with 25 patients each. Gingival index and orthodontic plaque index were calculated as initial reading. Gingival index and orthodontic plaque index were calculated again after 6 months. Result: In the control group, the mean score of gingival index and orthodontic plaque index were significantly increased from baseline reading (T1) to after 6 months reading (T2). In the experimental group, increase in the mean score of gingival index and orthodontic plaque index was not statistically significant. Conclusion: When an essential oil mouthwash is added to the daily oral hygiene regimen (conventional manual toothbrushing + brushing with monotufted brush), it maintained the gingival health and amount of plaque accumulation in orthodontic patients over a period of 6 months.

Abstract

Introduction: Lymphadenopathy is of great clinical significance as underlying diseases may range from a treatable infectious etiology to malignant neoplasms. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) plays a vital role in solving these issues, being recognised as rapid diagnostic technique because of simplicity accuracy and minimal invasion. Aim: To know the cytological spectrum of lymphadenopathy and to understand the burden of disease in this region. Design: This is a retrospective cytological study on 1478 patients including all age groups and both genders presenting with palpable lymphadenopathy over a period of seven years. Materials and Methods: FNAC was conducted with 22-24 gauge needle attached to 20 cc syringes. Smears were stained with Giemsa and Papanicolaou stains routinely; and special stains like Zeihl-Neelsen and periodic acid-Schiff were done whenever required. The data were tabulated as per the involvement of various lymph node groups and type of neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions involved. Data was analysed using SPSS 22 version. Results: Out of 1478 aspirations of lymph nodes, the most frequent cause of lymphadenopathy was found to be tuberculous lymphadenitis 592 (40.06%) cases. The next frequent diagnosis was reactive lymphadenopathy with 550 (37.2%) cases, followed by metastatic lymphadenopathy in 243 (16.4%) cases. The diagnosis of primary neoplastic lesions was seen in 29 (2.0%) cases. Conclusion: In our study, the predominant cause of lymphadenopathy was tuberculous lymphadenitis, followed by reactive lymphadenopathy and malignant neoplasms especially metastatic carcinoma. FNAC was helpful in diagnosing approximately 98% of cases.

Abstract

Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) is a distinct clinicopathological subtype of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 2-10% of all NHL cases. Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is the predominant site of extranodal MCL which commonly presents as Multiple Lymphomatous Polyposis (MLP). A 60 year old male presented with pain abdomen, diarrhea and weight loss of two months duration. On colonoscopy multiple polyps were found in the entire colon and rectum. Computed tomography revealed ileo-colic intussusception with nodularity in the lead point. Histopathology suggested features of MCL. On immunohistochemistry, the tumor cells were positive for CD20, CD5, Cyclin D1, negative for CD3, CD10, CD23, and CD45 RO. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
