ABSTRACT Background and objective The effect of teething on infants health has been debated for at least 5000 years and traditional beliefs on issue have still not been entirely supplemented by scientific finding. This study has tried to gather scientific information of systemic/clinical signs and symptoms in scientific manner. The objectives of this study were: (1) To describe the most frequent objective clinical manifestation during the eruption of primary teeth, e.g. fever, diarrhea, drooling, fever-drooling, fever-diarrhea, drooling-diarrhea. (2) To assess the correlation between systemic symptoms and eruption of various group of teeth, e.g. incisor, canine, molar. Methods The survey was conducted in 500 children between 5 and 30 months and registered at child development center, KLES's Hospital and Medical Research Center, Nehru Nagar, Belgaum, Karnataka. A specially structured questionnaire was applied with face-to-face interview. Information was relayed in yes or no manner of objective manifestation during eruption of primary incisor, canine and molar which included drooling, diarrhea, fever and combination of these symptoms. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistic and Chi-square analyses. Results The study showed more number of children in group A (less than 12 months) manifested drooling symptoms. As the ages advances with group B (between 12 and 18 months), group C (between 18 and 24 months) and group D (above 24 months), clinical manifestation of saliva found to be reduced. The results of study showed that 87.78%; 57.8%; 57.55%; 25.7%; of children with erupting teeth demonstrated general clinical symptoms like drooling, diarrhea and fever. The presence of fever-diarrhea in this study within group A, group B, group C and group D showed highest number of children by the manifestation than any other codes evaluated in the study. Interpretation and conclusion Present data demonstrate association between fever-diarrhea observed in all group consistently when marked numerically. As the age advances the fever-diarrhea from group C (between 18 and 24 months) and group D (above 24 months) rank second and third. This ranking in group A (less than 12 months) and group B (between 12 and 18 months) at its highest position and attributable to lower immunity of infants. Further, virology study should be conducted on subjects to demonstrate any possible occurrence of systemic disturbances.

Aim and objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prognosis of pain and tenderness in endodontic treatment of deciduous teeth using LSTR 3-MixMP therapy.Materials and method: The treatment was performed on selected 60 patients of 60 teeth which were divided into two groups; Group-A(n=30) and Group-B(n=30).In group-A patients were diagnosed initial pulpitis or reversible pulpitis (vital inflamed pulp) and in group-B patients were diagnosed as non-vital necrosed pulp with or without inter-radicular lesion. In both groups carious lesion and previ- ous restorative materials were removed and the cavity was prepared in such a way which was termed as “Medication cavity”. The cavity was cleaned and dried and then LSTR 3Mix MP therapy was placed at the orifice of root canals or on the bottom of the pulp chamber and then sealed with glass-ionomer cement and further reinforced with composite resin. Resolution of clinical signs and symptoms; pain and tenderness to percussion were evaluated at one week, one month, six months and one year inter- val.Result: In all cases clinical symptoms such as pain and tenderness to percussion disappeared after treatment in both groups but group B showed better clinical success. Finally all the cases were evalu- ated as successful.Conclusion: Based on the present study it can be concluded that endodontically involved deciduous teeth in both vital (inflamed) and non-vital teeth associated with pain and tenderness were treated successfully by LSTR 3-Mix MP therapy.Update Dent.

The study was to determine the presence of Classical Swine Fever virus (CSFv), in the meat of vaccinated pigs with the PAV-250 strain and then challenged using the same strain. Five treatment groups were established (each with four pigs). Group A: Pigs thatwere fed with processed hams from negative animals; Group B: Pigs that were fed with processed hams from commercial pigs inoculated with the ALD (reference strain) (titre of 104.0/ml); Group C: Pigs fed with processed hams from pigs infected with the virulent ALD strain (titre of 102.5/ml); Group D: Pigs fed with processed hams from pigs vaccinated with the PAV-250 strain and challenged with the ALD strain (titre of 101.1/ml); and Group E: Pigs fed with processed hams from pigs vaccinated with two doses of the PAV-250 strain and challenged with the ALD strain (negative). Blood samples were taken at d 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20 for biometric analysis. Groups B, C and D manifested clinical signs of CSFv: 40 °C temperature, anorexia, paralysis, vomiting, diarrhea, tremor, hirsute hair and cyanosis. Pigs were slaughtered and necropsies performed to identify lesions in tissues. Results of direct immunofluorescence testing of tissues were positive and the virus was recovered. Under these study conditions, it was found that CSFv resisted the cooking method at 68 °C for 40 min in hams from unvaccinated pigs, and that the virus was able to transmit the disease to healthy unvaccinated pigs, whereas the hams from the vaccinated animals did not transmit the virus.

Objectives: We evaluated the association between pathological acidic laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) events and chronic pharyngitis in patients with Reinke's edema. Methods: We performed a prospective controlled study in 20 consecutive patients with Reinke's edema without pathological acidic LPR events (group A) and 40 consecutive patients with Reinke's edema with both clinical symptoms and 24-hour pH-metry suggesting acidic LPR (group B). The severity of acidic LPR was assessed by use of the Reflux Finding Score (RFS), the Reflux Symptom Index (RSI), and dual antimony probe 24-hour pH-metry. The patients were evaluated for the presence of chronic pharyngitis by clinical examination and biopsy specimens taken from the posterior pharyngeal wall. The χ2 test was used to compare the groups for the presence of pharyngitis. In group B, the RSI, the RFS, and the total duration and number of acidic LPR events on 24-hour pH-metry were compared between patients with and without concomitant pharyngitis by use of the Mann-Whitney test. Results: Five patients of group A and 20 patients of group B had chronic pharyngitis. Therefore, more patients with Reinke's edema and clinical signs of LPR tended to have chronic pharyngitis than did those with Reinke's edema and no clinical signs of LPR, but the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.064; odds ratio, 3.0; 95% confidence interval, 0.9 to 9.8). Among group B patients, those with pharyngitis had significantly more acidic LPR events (p < 0.001) and a greater exposure time to gastric fluid (p = 0.008) than did those without pharyngitis. Their RFS and RSI did not differ significantly (p = 0.692 and p = 0.914, respectively). Conclusions: Only in the subgroup of patients with Reinke's edema and LPR was there a statistically significant correlation between the pH probe results and the incidence of clinical pharyngitis. Awareness should increase among physicians about addressing chronic pharyngitis in therapy for acidic LPR and/or Reinke's edema.

ABSTRACT: Crotalaria lanceolata E. Mey. and Crotalaria pallida Aiton. are leguminous plants of family Fabaceae found in most of the Brazilian territory. They were initially used as green manure and due their easy spread they are currently considered weeds in crops. Soybean and corn contamination can occur through the mechanical harvesting of these grains along with seeds of the Crotalaria species, which end up in the formulation of feed for production animals. Crotalaria spp. genus has toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA). Most plant species belonging to this genus can cause acute or chronic liver injury. In a first stage, one-day old broilers were divided into three groups: Group A (C. pallida seeds), Group B (C. lanceolata seeds), and Group C (Control). Groups A and B were divided into five subgroups, each with eight broilers, which received the following doses of the respective seeds in feed as of the 7th day of age: daily doses of 0.4%, 0.8% and 2.5%, and single doses of 15% and 25%. Four broilers in each study group were euthanized at 28 days of age - completing 21 days of seed consumption, and the four remaining broilers were euthanized at 42 days of age - completing 35 days of seed consumption. In a second stage, experiments were conducted using seeds of both the aforementioned plants with 28-day old broilers. These were divided into three groups of four animals each: Group D (C. pallida seeds) and Group E (C. lanceolata seeds), which received the respective seeds at daily doses of 1% and 2% in feed for 20 days, and Group F (Control). These broilers were euthanized when they were 80 days old. C. lanceolata seeds showed higher toxicity to broilers than C. pallida seeds, both supplied as of the 7th day of life. Clinical signs included inappetence, ruffled feathers, and brown diarrhea. The following gross lesions were observed: subcutaneous edema, ascites, hydropericardium, yellowish liver with hypertrophy or atrophy and enhanced lobular pattern, and distended gallbladder. Histologic lesions present in all birds in varying degrees were characterized by tumefaction and vacuolar degeneration of hepatocytes. The following clinical conditions and gross lesions were observed in the broilers: hepatocyte megalocytosis and karyomegaly, slight biliary epithelial hyperplasia, eosinophilic spheroids, and nuclear invagination with loss of hepatocyte cord architecture.

Abstract BackgroundSince the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), some studies reported the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 patients in hospital. However, these studies did not investigate the clinical symptoms heterogeneity of COVID-19 patients in the outpatient. This study aimed to describe the heterogeneity of clinical characteristics of outpatient COVID-19 patients.MethodsCOVID-19 patients visiting the respiratory outpatient department of our hospital from January 1st to February 28st 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the complaints, the patients were classified into four groups including group A (patients without symptoms), group B (patients with fever), group C (patients with respiratory symptoms but without fever), and group D (patients with extra-respiratory symptoms but without fever). The difference of clinical characteristics, basic diseases, laboratory examination of outpatient, characteristics of chest CT imaging among all the groups were analyzed and compared.ResultsA total of 309 COVID-19 patients were included with 126 men and 183 women. The common symptoms included fatigue (59.87%, 95% CI: 54.17-65.38%), loss of appetite (51.13%, 95% CI: 45.41-56.83%), fever (50.81%, 95% CI: 45.09-56.51%), muscle soreness (41.42%, 95% CI:35.88-47.14%), and dry cough (35.28%, 95% CI:29.95-40.89%). The percentages of group A to group D were 2.91%, 50.81%, 18.12%, and 28.16%, respectively. The most common symptoms in Group D included fatigue, loss of appetite, muscle soreness. ConclusionThe heterogeneity of clinical symptoms for COVID-19 patients in the outpatient is significant. We should pay attention to patients without symptoms or those with only extra-respiratory symptoms, who are prone to missed diagnosis.

Background: Jaundice (Kamala) is a yellowish pigmentation of the skin, the conjunctival membranes over the sclera (whitish of the eyes), and other mucous membranes caused by hyperbilirubinemia (increased levels of bilirubin in the blood). Today’s lifestyle with unhygienic and poor dietary habits and alcoholic habits etc. are responsible factors to promote hepatic damage which clinically reflects as Kamala Roga. The incidence of such causes resulting in Jaundice. In India it is 2.37-3.15 per 1000 population. The effect of Ayurvedic treatment was assessed in relation to improvement in overall clinical signs and symptoms. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of Phalatrikaadi Kwatha and Darvyadi Kwatha in Kamala Roga. Methodology: A comparative clinical study was conducted on Kamala for period of 15 days. The patients were divided into 2 groups. In Group A 20 patients were administered with Phalatrikadi Kwatha internally and in Group B 20 patients were administered with Darvyadi Kwatha internally. Results: Group A and Group B have shown statistically significant result. Group B treated with Darvyadi Kwatha showed better result compared with Group B treated with Phalatrikadi Kwatha.

The present study reports on the impact of Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) vaccination on vaccine respond and subsequent protection against Newcastle disease (ND) in parent stock flocks of Department of Livestock Services (DLS) using MG killed vaccine and conventional ND vaccines. Birds were grouped into four groups, each consisted of 50 birds from the same flock. Group A birds were vaccinated with ND, group B with ND and MG, group C with MG, and group D birds were kept as unvaccinated control. The parameters studied included detection of ND antibody, MG seroprevalance, mortality (%), and cause of death. The sera of groups B and C were sero-positive after administration of MG vaccine. The haemagglutination-inhibition (HI) titres of group A were higher than group B from week 4 after administration of MG vaccine to the birds of group B. The mortality was very low; one bird of group C died at week 5 due to traumatic injury and another bird of group D died at week 2 due to infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). After challenge, birds of groups A and B showed no clinical signs and normal post mortem findings were found. Birds of groups C and D showed clinical signs from day 3 and different pathological lesions were found in post mortem. The MG vaccination did not improve other parameters. Therefore, inoculation of MG INAC vaccine is not justified and is too expensive at farm levels.Keywords: Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) vaccine, Newcastle disease (ND) vaccination, Protection, MortalityDOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjm.v24i1.1240   Bangladesh J Microbiol, Volume 24, Number 1, June 2007, pp 62-64

Introduction: The clinical features of celiac disease vary. Common classic signs and symptoms include diarrhea, weight loss, and abdominal distention. Celiac as a systemic disease may suffer people of all ages and with many races and ethnic groups.  Celiac disease also has other symptoms that got less attention. These signs are constipation, bloating, oral plague, bone pain, anemia, Vitiligo, hypocalcemia, hypothyroidism and seizures.  In this study, it was decided to evaluate the prevalence of gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal clinical signs of celiac disease. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 150 patients with celiac disease referred to Khatamolanbiya Clinic in 2014.The gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal clinical signs of the patients were studied. Patients with celiac disease were included who had both positive tissue anti-transglutaminase antibodies and some degree of mucosal atrophy on duodenal mucosal endoscopy. After collecting the data, the coded information was entered into SPSS version 22 software and the results were analyzed using Chi-Square, T and Wilcoxon tests. Results: The results showed that celiac disease in the study was 1.3 times more frequently in women than men. As well as the symptoms of anemia in the population studied (40.67%) had the highest and seizures (0.67%) had the lowest rates. After anemia, hypothyroidism with 26% prevalence was the most prevalent in the community. Diarrhea with 24.7% is the mostcommon in gastrointestinal symptoms   and is the third most common after anemia and hypothyroidism. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that non-gastrointestinal symptoms (bone pain, anemia, vitiligo, hypocalcaemia, hypothyroidism, and seizures) are more common than gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, steatorrhea, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, bloating, and oral thrush in patients with celiac disease.
