Abstract:- Stress has long been considered to be a major contributor to the clinical manifestation of many diseases. The relationship between stress and any disease is explained by hormonal modifications and behavioural changes induced by the stress. Research has suggested that stress and depression are two factors that play a role in the development and progression of periodontal disease. It is not clear, however, whether these factors lead to periodontal disease through physiological or behavioural changes, or by some combination of the two. This article reviews the current literature, with highlighting on the potential role of psychological stress in periodontal disease progression as well as on wound healing.
Keywords:- Cortisol, Periodontal disease, Stress, Wound healing.

Abstract:- Background: Wide spectrum of bone disease can occur in renal failure patients ranging from states of markedly impaired bone formation and mineralization (such as low turnover bone disease, osteomalacia) to states of markedly increased bone turnover (hyperparathyroidism. Unique types of metabolic bone disease may also occur in patients with renal disease but with a normal glomerular filtration rate, as exemplified by the postrenal transplant state and renal tubular acidosis. Radiographic examinations were carried out on 40 patients to study the changes in the teeth and bones. Aim: To study the various Radiological manifestations in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF), hemodialysis patients and those with renal transplants. Methods: A radiographic study of the teeth, jaws & skeletal system in 40 cases of chronic renal Insufficiency patients was undertaken. These patients were divided into three groups(on conservative care, hemodialysis and post transplant) based on the treatment modality. Results: Changes in the lamina dura, Trabecular pattern and bone density were recorded. Pulpal alterations were also noticed. A significant relation between skeletal changes and changes in lamina dura was observed (t = 2.13) but, skeletal changes had become more evident with reduction in trabecular pattern and radiographic density (t = 3.24). No significant relation was found between the changes in pulp and the skeletal changes. Conclusion: An alert diagnostician if aware of the signs and symptoms seen in these patients along with the help of radiological data can caution a patient of the insidious condition as the changes in lamina dura though not a marker for this individual entity is the earliest manifestation.

Abstract:- Present study was made to assess the heavy metal concentrations in the Carpet and Textile industries effluent collected from the different industries located in Bhadoi region. The effluent samples were analysed for metallic properties using Spectrophotometer Pharo 100 spectoquant (Merk, Millipore). For the characterization of heavy metals of various industrial effluents, some heavy metals like, Cadmium, Copper, Chromium, Iron, Nickel, Manganese, Lead, Zinc were analysed. In effluents samples, different metals were found in a concentration range Cadmium (0.014 – 0.018 mg/l), Copper (0.10 – 0.21 mg/l), Chromium (0.01 – 0.09 mg/l), Iron (0.54 – 2.2 mg/l), Nickel (0.78 – 1.55 mg/l), Manganese (0.04 – 0.13 mg/l), Lead (0.51 – 1.26 mg/l), Zinc (0.29 –1.24 mg/l). The result exhibited that the effluent samples from Mill 2, Mill 4, Mill 5 shown metal concentration under the limits as approved by FEMNEV and FEPA, 1991 standard limits where as effluent sample from mill 1 showed nickel, manganese and zinc concentration more than standard limit provided by FEMNEV and FEPA, 1991 where as effluent sample from mill 3 showed nickel concentration more than limit provided by FEPA, 1991.

Abstract:- Background: One of the most common complications of general anaesthesia is sore throat. The reported incidence varies widely, 0-22% in non-intubated patients and 6-100% in intubated patients according to various studies.We evaluate various factors including age ,sex ,BMI ,surgery ,airway device used ,ASA status ,Airway difficulty,intubation attempts , patient position and coughing during emergence from anaesthesia and their association in causing post-operative sore throat. Material & Methods: We conducted this study over 4 months in all patients undergoing general anaesthesia in our hospital. Results: We found a significant association between occurrence of sore throat and old age ,use of endotracheal tube for airway control ,multiple intubation attempts ,use of Sellicks maneuver ,extended head position and coughing during emergence from general anaesthesia(p<0.05). Conclusion: On the basis of our study we suggest that good airway skills, avoidance of lighter anaesthetic planes,regular post-operative follow ups ,proper reporting , training and quality improvement is essential to minimize this minor yet highly bothersome complication after general anaesthesia.

Abstract:- Background: Diabetes mellitus is the most common endocrine disorder and takes on pandemic proportions. Dermatophytosis remains a significant public health problem. The objective of the study was to study the prevalence of Trichophyton rubrum infection among diabetic and non- diabetic patients. Materials and methods: It is a cross sectional study conducted during July 2011 to July 2012. All clinically diagnosed cases of dermatophytoses attending the Dermatology OPD of were included in the study. Among those 40 diabetic and 40 non diabetic Patients were included. Clinical materials were collected from the patients suffering from various types of dermatophytoses and processed according to standard protocols. Result: Among the eighty samples 32 samples showed positive for Trichophyton rubrum in both direct microscopy and culture (40%) from both diabetic and non-diabetic population. Among the diabetic patients 18 were positive for T. rubrum (56.2%) which includes 10 male patients (31.2%) and 8 female patients (25%). In non-diabetic patients 14 patients were positive for T. rubrum (43.7%) which includes 9 male (28.1%) and 5 female patients (15.6%). Conclusion: The percentage of Trichophyton rubrum isolated from diabetic patients (56.2%) is higher when compared to non-diabetic patients (43.7%) in our hospital in Chennai.
