Rehabilitation is defined as helping somebody “to have a normal, useful life again after they have been very ill ...” (Oxford dictionary). Although most rehabilitation programs still use traditional approaches to compensate for physical, psychological, or cognitive impairments, the emergence of computer-based tools is now opening the door for more advanced and personalized approaches. One of the most promising and rapidly evolving tools for improving psychological wellbeing is virtual reality (VR) [1, 2]. A VR system involves subjecting users to an artificial environment while replacing real-world sensory perceptions with digitally generated ones, thereby promoting a sense of immersion and allowing users to interact with objects in that environment. The level of immersion (high vs low immersion) depends on several factors, especially ..... ReadMore

Periodontal therapy and treatment focus at ceasing the infection and thereby maintaining a healthy periodontium. Regular mechanical removal of microbial biofilms found sub gingivally is obligatory for management of inflammatory periodontal conditions. Mechanical periodontal therapy comprises of gingival curettage, root planning and scaling. Historical Perspective There were a lot of works committed in the field of surface mechanics of ultrasonic scaling. During 1950’s there was introduction of first commercially available ultrasonic equipment used for cleaning of tooth surface, which later came into use as a relatively inexpensive home instrument in the 1970’s. Since decades, the industrial use of ultrasonic scaling, in cleansing of complex areas and increasing the procedures for treatment of the surface has shown to have promising re..... ReadMore

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic and diversely presented psychiatric condition. Patients of this disorder, sometimes, present such an unusual way that diagnosis becomes very difficult. These patients, later, may face multiple consultations in different specialties or social and legal difficulties. This is the case of an adolescent boy who presented with stealing or pick-up mobile phone and facing social harassment. He was diagnosed as OCD after meticulous psychiatric assessment and treated with fluoxetine along with exposure and response prevention. Significant remission of symptoms of this adolescent was found with the intervention. Unusual presentations of OCD is not unexpected and early identification and treatment can reduce the huge burden of this troublesome psychiatric disorder. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) i.....

Richard Gerstl ( 1883 - 1908 ) painted “ Semi Nude Self-Portrait in 1905; he painted “ Nude Self - Portrait with Palette” on 12thSeptember 1908, two days before his 25th birthday and two months before his suicide on the 4th of November. Only three years and a whole world apart. In the first painting, the artist’s body seems to convey an important message to the world, the blue colour bordening the painter’s upper torso is lightened and produces an aura, not portraying himself in his studio but instead elevate himself to the status of a near messianic figure. Art as replacement of religion, where the artist can be regarded as the creator of an independent world...... ReadMore

There is an increasing number of patients who have survived after suffering cardiac arrest. Some surviving patients experience prolonged neurological complications due to hypoxic brain injury, of which can result in acute post-hypoxic myoclonus and very rarely, Lance Adams Syndrome (LAS)5. LAS is clinically distinct from acute post-hypoxic myoclonus, which is much more common post-cardiac arrest. Patients who exhibit LAS typically have good outcomes. We present a patient post-cardiac who developed a rare case LAS who initially improved with treatment of levetracitram...... ReadMore

Background: Electrophysiological studies always remained essential to differentiate the type of pre-excitation syndrome in arrhythmia. We explore mahaim fibers’ role instead of a bundle of his in the accessory pathway to diagnose left bundle branch block. Case presentation: A asymptomatic 51-year-old man was present in the outpatient department with a history of myocardial infarction over several years. The classical pre-excitation syndrome remains classical without delta waves. Trans-esophageal atrial pacing was induced using electrocardiogram and intracardiac electrogram (IEGM) to study further morphological changes of QRS in all directions. Diagnosis: The evaluated accessory pathway before and after ablation at anterolateral bypass potentially synchronous the transitional R wave at the electrical axis, r..... ReadMore

The recent advances in the investigation of tumour biology have demonstrated that the human body may produce several molecules provided by a natural anticancer activity without any toxicity, in particular the pineal hormones melatonin (MLT), 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MTT) and pinealine, the endogenous cannabinoids, oxytocin, and angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7). Unfortunately, despite their well confirmed anticancer and non-toxic properties, very few clinical studies have been performed in an attempt to evaluate the potential therapeutic efficacy of the endogenous human anticancer molecules in the treatment of cancer patients, at least of those eligible for the only palliative therapy. Moreover, most studies have been generally limited to the use of the only pineal MLT. The present preliminary study was carried ou..... ReadMore

The Pandemic Covid-19 that our society has been through since December 2019 has shed light on the critical role of Occupational and Environmental Medicine in the protection and promotion of Public Health taking into account the recent advances and progress achieved in the scientific world. The environment is totally associated with public health and the deterrence of diseases and infections can only be accomplished through healthy environments (WHO [1]). As per Johansson et al. [2], forecasting dynamics used in epidemiology research would enable scientists to battle epidemics of infectious diseases as seasonal epidemics of dengue as well as of other epidemics. The example of the Corona Virus COVID-19, which emerged in December 2019, is typical of the importance of prevention, proper education and timely response ..... ReadMore

Introduction: This study mainly focus on the major pathologic manifestations of human gastrointestinal impacts of parasitic worms. Background: Helminthes and protozoan are human parasites that can infect gastrointestinal tract of humans beings and reside in intestinal wall. Protozoans are one celled microscopic, able to multiply in humans, contributes to their survival, permits serious infections, use one of the four main modes of transmission (direct, fecal-oral, vector-borne, and predator-prey) and also helminthes are necked multicellular organisms, referred as intestinal worms even though not all helminthes reside in intestines. However, in their adult form, helminthes cannot multiply in humans and able to survive in mammalian host for many years due to their ability to manipulate immune response. Objectives: The objectives of this stu..... ReadMore
