ABSTRACT:
Background: Autism is a Kind of disorders that lead to severely failure of ability to communications, interact or adhesion with other child or person and maintain appropriate contact with the outside society or world. Autism is consist of a complex group of neurobiological disorders caused by defects in developments of child's brain; that usually last throughout a lifetime and are classified as autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). These disorders are associated with hared routines and repetitive behaviors and communications. The aim of this study was to find, the type of communication betweenorofacial manifestations and autistic disorders.
Materials and Methods: Children were selected from private specified centers for autistic disorders and special care in Hilla (Babylon) and Najaf cities of Iraq, by periodic visits. One hundred and twenty(120) subjects were incorporated in this study. All these Childs with age ranges (4.5-10.5) years, and were without any other systemic disease. All these patients were previously diagnosed by psychiatrists.
KEYWORDS: Oral manifestations; autistic disorders (AD); Dent alveolar findings.

ABSTRACT:
Background and Objectives: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (Type 2 DM), characterized by a relative insulin deficiency or insulin resistance is associated with a cluster of metabolic abnormalities, which includes glucose intolerance, hypertension, a unique dyslipidemia, a procoagulant state, and an increase in macrovascular diseases. The present study was conducted to assess the significance of postprandial dyslipidemia with respect to fasting dyslipidemia, in the pathogenesis of athero-sclerotic changes and possible cardiovascular diseases.
Methods and Statistical Analysis: Fifty clinically diagnosed cases of Type 2 DM ( age group of 34-68 years, duration of diabetes of more than five years), were in¬cluded in the study and 50 age and sex matched healthy subjects were taken as the controls. In both the study groups, we measured postprandial as well as fasting lipid profile, which comprised of serum total Cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TGs), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and the waist-hip ratio (WHI) as the cardiovascular risk factors. The statistical analysis was done by using the Students unpaired‘t’-test.
Results: The results of present study showed significantly increased levels of postprandial serum total cholesterol, TGs, LDL-C and VLDL-C as compared to those in the fasting state (p<0.001). The serum HDL-C level was significantly lower in the postprandial state as compared to that in the fasting state (p<0.001).
Conclusion: The findings of the study indicated that postprandial lipid profile, as a cardiovascular risk factor, was significantly elevated as compared to lipid profile in fasting state. This signifies that the routine estimation of the postprandial lipid profile, in addition to the fasting lipid parameters is mandatory in the cardiovascular disease risk assessment in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus subjects.

ABSTRACT:
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between prior miscarriages and the risks of placental dysfunction disorders, including preeclampsia, stillbirth, birth of a small for gestational age (SGA) infant, placental abruption, and spontaneous preterm birth.
Study Design: In a population-based cohort study including 72 primiparous women, we estimated risks of placental dysfunction disorders for women with 1(n = 24 ), 2 (n = 20 ) and 3 or more (n = 18 ) self-reported prior miscarriages. Risks were calculated as odds ratios by unconditional logistic regression analysis and adjustments were made for maternal age, early pregnancy body mass index, smoking habits, years of formal education, in vitro fertilization, chronic hypertension, pregestational diabetes, hypothyroidism, systemic lupus erythematosis and fetal sex .
Results: Compared with women with no prior miscarriage, women with 1 prior miscarriage had almost no increased risks. Women with 2 prior miscarriages had increased risks of spontaneous preterm birth, preterm (<37 weeks) SGA infant, and placental abruption. The rates of all disorders were higher for women with 3 or more prior miscarriages compared with women without prior miscarriages: preeclampsia, 50% vs 30%; stillbirth, 22.22 % vs 0%, SGA infant, 22.22 % vs 10 %, placental abruption, 27.78 % vs 10 %; and spontaneous preterm birth, 27.78 % vs 10 %. The adjusted odds ratios for preterm (<37 weeks) disorders in women with 3 prior miscarriages were approximately 3.4, neonatal death, 11.11 % vs 0%.
Conclusion: History of 2 or more miscarriages is associated with an increased risk of placental dysfunction disorders and should be regarded as a risk factor in antenatal care
KEYWORDS: Intrauterine growth restriction; miscarriage; placental abruption; preeclampsia, spontaneous preterm birth; stillbirth.

ABSTRACT:
Peripheral ossifying fibroma is one of many localized reactive lesions occurring on the gingiva which includes focal fibrous hyperplasia, pyogenic granuloma and peripheral giant cell granuloma. It is a solitary overgrowth of the gingiva known to arise from the cells of the periodontal ligament. As lesions with similar clinical presentation makes it difficult to diagnose, it makes histo-pathological investigation essential to positively identify the lesion. The present case report highlights the diagnosis and management of peripheral ossifying fibroma in the anterior mandible region of a female child patient.
KEYWORDS: Peripheral ossifying fibroma; calcification; central-ossifying fibroma.

ABSTRACT:
Aim: This in-vitro study aimed to ascertain the mode of action of three desensitizing agents namely, Arginine-containing, Propolis-containing and Potassium Nitrate-containing dentifrices using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Materials and methods: Ninety dentin slices from non carious human premolar teeth were used for the study. The teeth were randomly divided into three groups (n=30), according to the type of dentifrice applied:- Group I: Arginine-containing paste, Group II: Propolis-containing paste and Group III: Potassium nitrate-containing paste. Each group was divided into two subgroups (n=15) for the assessment by two different techniques: Subgroup A: Scanning electron microscopy examination and Subgroup B: Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy examination. SEM was used to assess the tubule occlusion and the change in the diameter of the dentinal tubules. EDXS was used to characterize the elemental composition of the occlusive material. Analysis of agents, both prior to and after application on dentine discs was performed for comparative purposes. Statistical analysis was done using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Bonferroni post hoc test for multiple comparison. Results: The dentin discs treated with arginine-containing paste (93.220% by SEM) showed statistically (p˂001) highest mean percentage of occluded tubules followed by Potassium Nitrate-containing paste (34.777% by SEM) and Propolis-containing paste (13.58 % by SEM). There was a strong evidence (p˂001) that group I (68%) was most effective in reducing the mean tubule diameter, while group II (47%) and III (44%) did not produce a significant reduction. The EDXS studies show that the dentin surface deposit and occluded tubule plugs contain high levels of calcium, phosphorus, fluorine, silica in group I and III treated specimens.
