Efficacy of Low-Level Laser Therapy and Temporomandibular Joint Mobilization in subjects with Myo-facial Pain Syndrome

[Year:2024] [Month:January-June] [Volume:1] [Number:1] [Pages:5] [Pages No:5 - 9]

Keywords: Temporomandibular (TMJ) mobilization, low-level laser therapy (LLLT), and myofascial pain syndrome (MPS)

   DOI: 10.5005/jihr-11055-V1N1-05  |  Open Access |  How to cite  | 

Abstract

Background: Every age group is affected by myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), a regional pain illness that is typified by the presence of trigger points (TrPs) in the muscles or fascia. A distinct local and referred pain that is in line with the patient's presenting pain symptoms is produced when manual pressure is applied over an MPS. MPS can be treated with a variety of physiotherapy techniques. There are conflicting findings about the effectiveness of temporomandibular mobilization and low-level laser treatment (LLLT) in treating MPS, as evidenced by earlier research. For the treatment of MPS, there is also no comparison between LLLT and temporomandibular mobilization. The study sought to determine the effectiveness of temporomandibular joint mobilization and LLLT in treating MPS. Results: Both methods are effective in reducing the degree of discomfort and increasing the maximum mouth opening in MPS patients. Conclusion: TMJ joint mobilization, LLLT, and physical therapy therapies demonstrated notable clinical improvements in reducing discomfort and maximizing mouth opening in people with MPS.

Evaluate the effectiveness of cryotherapy on reduction of pain during arterio-venous fistula puncturing among patients undergoing he modialysis at Amaravathi Hospital, Karur (Dt), Tamil Nadu

[Year:2024] [Month:January-June] [Volume:1] [Number:1] [Pages:4] [Pages No:10 - 13]

Keywords: cryotherapy, hemodialysis, and arterio-venous fistula puncture

   DOI: 10.5005/jihr-11055-V1N1-06  |  Open Access |  How to cite  | 

Abstract

Introduction: The study's objective was to assess how well cryotherapy reduces pain during arterio-venous fistula puncturing in hemodialysis patients. Materials and Method: Thirty samples were chosen for the experimental group and thirty samples for the control group, totaling sixty samples. The Numerical Pain Rating Scale was used to gather the data. Cryotherapy was given to the experimental group. The post-test was administered without intervention to the control group. During the data collecting period, five to ten hemodialysis patients are evaluated every day. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Results: Following cryotherapy, there was a notable difference between the experimental and control groups. The degree of pain decreased. To link the post-test result to specific demographic characteristics, chi square analysis was performed. The post-test score and the experimental group's demographic characteristics are significantly correlated. Conclusion: Arteriovenous fistula puncturing pain can be significantly decreased by cryotherapy.

Aversive Conditioning: Hand-over-Mouth Technique & Physical Restraint

[Year:2024] [Month:January-June] [Volume:1] [Number:1] [Pages:7] [Pages No:14 - 20]

Keywords: Hand-over-mouth technique, Physical restraint, Children, Pediatric Dentistry

   DOI: 10.5005/jihr-11055-V1N1-07  |  Open Access |  How to cite  | 

Abstract

It is widely accepted that behavior control is crucial when it comes to giving children dental treatment. In fact, if a child's behavior in the dental office is not managed, it is difficult, if not impossible, to provide any necessary dental care. In the field of Pediatric dentistry, children are typically treated using a variety of psychological behavior management techniques. However, when all psychological behavior management strategies are ineffective at calming the child, physiological strategies such as physical restraint and hand-over-mouth exercises are used to stop the child's inappropriate behavior and provide dental treatment with the parents permission.

Minimally Invasive Periodontal Therapy: A Paradigm shift

[Year:2024] [Month:January-June] [Volume:1] [Number:1] [Pages:7] [Pages No:21 - 27]

Keywords: Illumination, Microsurgery, Magnification, Periodontitis

   DOI: 10.5005/jihr-11055-V1N1-08  |  Open Access |  How to cite  | 

Abstract

Periodontitis is a complex term that affects all supporting tissues of the teeth and can be treated non-surgically as well as surgically. Periodontal therapy success is contingent on adequate case selection, patient cooperation, accurate diagnosis, and treatment plan. From a clinical standpoint, improved visualization during periodontal operations is required to achieve better results. Minimally invasive periodontal therapy (MIPT) explains need of utilizing minimally invasive techniques and provides information on how to improve visualization using a minimally invasive approach. Also, the reasons for minimally invasive periodontal procedures as well as numerous strategies for minimally invasive nonsurgical and surgical periodontal procedures in this Review will be explored.

Comparison of Layers of Twak and Layers of Skin

[Year:2024] [Month:January-June] [Volume:1] [Number:1] [Pages:6] [Pages No:28 - 33]

Keywords: Twak, Sparshanaindriya, Updhatu

   DOI: 10.5005/jihr-11055-V1N1-09  |  Open Access |  How to cite  | 

Abstract

‘Twak’ as per Ayurvedic science means which encloses the whole body. Joseph Listre said, ‘Skin is best dressing’. Twak is updhatu of Mamsa which forms the outer covering of the body and protects the body from external factors such as heat & cold. It is an important organ of integumentary system which envelops underlying tissues & organs. Ayurveda mentions twak as sparshanaindriya and different layers of twak are mentioned by Acharyas. Understanding each layer is still unclear with reference to layers of skin mentioned by contemporary science. There is a need to understand the different layers of twak & skin, their structural, functional and developmental interpretation and to correlate between them.

Revolutionizing Drug Discovery: The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Modern Drug Design

[Year:2024] [Month:January-June] [Volume:1] [Number:1] [Pages:7] [Pages No:34 - 40]

Keywords: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Deep Learning (DL), Natural Language Processing (NLP), Drug Repurposing, Lead Compound Optimization, Drug-Target Interactions, De Novo Drug Design

   DOI: 10.5005/jihr-11055-V1N1-10  |  Open Access |  How to cite  | 

Abstract

The traditional drug discovery process is slow, expensive, and prone to high failure rates, with timelines of 10–15 years and costs reaching $1–2 billion. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have revolutionized drug design by enabling the analysis of vast biomedical datasets, identifying patterns, and making predictions that streamline and optimize the drug discovery pipeline. This article explores the transformative role of AI methodologies, including Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and generative models, in accelerating target identification, lead compound optimization, and predicting drug toxicity or efficacy. AI applications in drug repurposing, de novo drug design, and the prediction of drug-target interactions are discussed, showcasing significant reductions in time and resource requirements. The article also highlights critical challenges, such as data quality, model interpretability, and regulatory concerns, which must be addressed to fully realize the potential of AI in drug discovery. With continued advancements and collaboration between computational and pharmaceutical sciences, AI promises to revolutionize drug development, paving the way for personalized and precision medicine.

[Year:2024] [Month:January-June] [Volume:1] [Number:1] [Pages:6] [Pages No:41 - 46]

Keywords: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, 21-hydroxylase deficiency, Virilism, Syacthen test, Feminizing surgery, Hydrocortisone, Spironolactone

   DOI: 10.5005/jihr-11055-V1N1-11  |  Open Access |  How to cite  | 

Abstract

This report presents a rare case of pure classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency in a 22-year-old woman with a 46 XX genotype. The patient exhibited virilism, excessive hair growth, and primary amenorrhea with absent secondary sexual characteristics. The diagnosis was confirmed by 17-hydroxyprogesterone testing and the Synacthen test. Treatment with hydrocortisone and spironolactone was followed by feminization surgery, leading to the development of secondary sexual characteristics, including breast development, a reduction in hirsutism, and the onset of regular menstruation.
