Abstract:- Teeth present at the time of birth are called Natal teeth. Teeth which erupt in the neonatal period that is within thirty days of birth are Neonatal teeth. Presence of natal tooth may results into several complications like difficulty in breast feeding, sublingual ulceration or risk of aspiration of mobile tooth. Hence the purpose of the present paper is to report an unusual case of natal tooth and to discuss its clinical features, complications and management.
Key words:- Clinical features, complications, natal tooth, Riga Fédé syndrome, syndromes, talon like structure.

Abstract:- Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a dietary spice with curcumin as its most active ingredient, widely used as a traditional medicine in Asian countries. Curcumin has been demonstrated to possess many beneficial properties including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic activities, which have paved the way for ongoing human clinical trials. Curcumin shows great promise as a therapeutic agent. This article explores its therapeutic applications in the field of dentistry.
Key words:- Turmeric, Curcuma longa, Curcumin, dentistry.

Abstract: Background: The Scaphoid bone is the commonest carpal bone to be fractured in the wrist injuries. The actual number of scaphoid fractures amongst all cases diagnosed clinically is small. For making the definitive diagnosis of scaphoid fracture, along with clinical suspicion , patient has to undergo intial and follow up radiographs. In view of this picture, patient should be clinically assessed and confirmed radiologically. Aim: To improve this situation, this study was undertaken at Dr. Dy Patil hospital, pimpiri, Pune,India. The objective was to rule out to how much extent the clinical signs help to make the definitive diagnosis in scaphoid fractures. Material & Methods: 82 patients were followed up to assess for how much extent the clinically suspected patients were diagnosed radiographically. Result: Out of 82, 21 patients were diagnosed with scaphoid fracture by clinical evaluation and by day1 & day 14 radiographs. Conclusion: The efficacy of clinical signs in diagnosing fracture scaphoid can be improved followed by serial radiographical evaluation for 2 weeks. Thus We conclude, with the high clinical suspicion by evaluating all the three clinical signs [Anatomical Snuffbox Tenderness(ASBT), Scaphoid Compression Tenderness(SCT),Scaphoid Tubercle Tenderness(STT)]following initial & day 14 radiographs ,helps in diagnosing scaphoid fractures for a better extent.

Abstract:- Background: A prospective comparative study was done on lignocaine versus lignocaine with fentanyl to observe the effect on cardiovascular response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation. Materials & Methods: One hundred such elective surgical patients of active age group (16 -60 years) having American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) physical status I & II irrespective of surgical procedure were randomly assigned to one of the two groups of 50 each. Group I received injection lignocaine 1.5 mg/kg intravenously 2 minutes before induction of general anesthesia. Patients in group II received injection fentanyl2 mcg/kg body weight and injection lignocaine 1 mg/kg body weight intravenously 2 minutes before induction of general anesthesia. Hemodynamic parameter i.e. blood pressures (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean blood pressure), heart rate, were monitored after intubation,5min,10 minutes following intubation. Results: There were statistically significant (p<0.001) increase in blood pressures, heart rate and rate pressure product in group I i.e. pretreatment with 1.5 mg/kg body weight intravenous lignocaine and remained so after 10 minutes. On the other hand there were no statistically significant (p>0.05) increase in heart rate, blood pressures and in group II, where pretreatment done with fentanyl 2 mcg/kg body weight with lignocaine 1 mg/kg body weight and the values returned control level before 5 minutes. Conclusion: The study showed that fentanyl 2 mcg/kg body weight with lignocaine 1 mg/kg body weight pretreatment suppresses the cardiovascular response due to laryngoscopy and intubation.

Abstract:- Pathadi Kwatha is indicated in Granthibhuta artava Dushti (one among the eight types of menstrual disorder) characterized by clotted appearance of menstrual bleeding and anovulation with poly cystic ovaries due to Vata-Kapha dushti. Vata-Kaphaja Artava Dushti compared to polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS) is characterized by oligomenorrhoea, chronic anovulation, and multiple cystic lesions in either or both the ovaries as evidenced by ultrasonography, with or without obesity, hirsutism, acanthosis nigricans, ultimately leading to Infertility in adult female population. So a new pharmaceutical preparation in the form of Pathadi Kwatha was tried to standardize which is economical in terms of time and machinery usage. Pharmacognostical and phyto-chemical observations revealed the specific characters of all active constituents used in the preparation. For the first time standardization of Pathadi Kwatha was undertaken. The present work was carried out to standardize the finished product Pathadi Kwatha to confirm its identity, quality and purity. The presence of stone cells, sclerates, pitted vessels, simple and compound starch grains, fibres; oil globules embedded in parenchyma cells, were the characteristic features observed in the microscopy of drug combination. Phyto-chemical analysis shows solid content of 7.19% w/w, water soluble extract of 49.52 % w/w, specific gravity of 1.010. On the basis of observations and experimental results, the study may be used as reference standard in the further quality control researches.
