    Number of Ovulation Observed in Black Bengal Goats by Ultrasound Imaging and its Subsequent Confirmation through Exploratory Laparotomy
    (The Association of Mastitis, 2023-05) Patra, A.; Chakrabortty, P.S.; Biswas, C.K.; Mazumdar, D.; Sutradhar, S.K.
    The study was conducted in female Black Bengal goat to investigate the number of ovulation during gestation period by Ultrasound Image (USG). Female kids of three months of age were placed in three groups with five numbers in each group; 1st TG with supplementary nutrition and a buck, 2 nd TG with supplementary nutrition and 3 rd TG as control. Due to permanent exposure of buck and good plane of nutrition, the animals under TG 1 attained puberty significantly (P<0.01) earlier than other two groups. Average body weight of animals of TG1 (10.0 kg) was also recorded to be lowest. Most failure of conception was noted in TG 1 as reflected by its significantly higher (P<0.05) number of services (3.6) than other two groups (2.2 and 2.0 respectively). Highly significant (P<0.01) variation in respect to age of 1st kidding was observed, the animals under TG 1 took least time, but body weight of animals of TG 3 was least. Post-partum estrus was also recorded to be earliest (3 to 6 weeks) in first group of animals than the other two. By ultrasound imaging technique a single number of Corpora lutea (CL) was counted for individual animal under different treatment group on the 11 th day of oestrus cycle, with an exception of three CL in one animal of the first treatment group. Out of total 17 CL counted, 11 were found on the left ovary. Number of ovulation observes by ultrasound imaging, was confirmed through laparotomy.

    Preferred Topical Anesthesia in Reducing Injection Pain: A Randomized Clinical Trial
    (International Research Organization for Life & Health Sciences, 2023-02) Mandal, P; Gupta, S; Patel, S; Tripathi, P; Patra, A.
    Aim: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of topical anesthetic agents, that is, 2% lidocaine gel, 20% benzocaine gel, and 5% EMLA cream in reducing needle insertion pain during extraction in children. Materials and Methods: A total of 60 healthy children of both sexes from 5 to 9 years of age were selected and divided into three groups, that is, 2% lidocaine gel (Group 1), 20% benzocaine gel (Group 2), and 5% EMLA cream (Group 3). After application of topical anesthetic agent and needle insertion and before start of the extraction procedure, the objective and subjective pain responses of the children were evaluated using the visual analog scale, Wong-Bakers faces pain rating scale, and sound eye motor scales. Results: No statistical significant difference was recorded between Group I (2% lidocaine gel) and Group II (20% benzocaine gel) in reducing pain intensity during needle insertion. Topical anesthetic in Group III, that is, 5% EMLA cream showed statistically significant better results in effectively reducing pain when compared to other two topical anesthetics used in the study. Conclusion: The present study concluded that 2% lignocaine is equally effective with 20% benzocaine gel in reducing the pain intensity of needle insertion. Topical anesthetic based on a combination of 2.5% lidocaine and 2.5% prilocaine (EMLA) reduced pain significantly better when compared with 2% lignocaine and 20% benzocaine.

    Sonal Appliance an innovative space maintainer in the management of early loss of first permanent Molar: A Rare Case Report
    (Siddharth Health Research and Social Welfare Society, 2023-08) Gupta, S.; Patra, A.; Ojha, R.; Das, A.; Baby, A.
    Introduction:In preventative and interventional dentistry, keeping deciduous teeth until their natural exfoliation is critical. An early tooth or group of teeth loss might have a variety of effects. The first molar is the largest tooth in the mouth, it carries the most occlusal stress, and it affects the vertical distance between the mandible and the maxilla.Adolescent patients who have lost a permanent first molar (PFM) require early space maintenance.Case report:In this case report a successful use of a modified distal shoe appliance was made in a patient whose 1st permanent molar was lost before the eruption of 2nd permanent molar.In circumstances when the permanent first molar is lost before the emergence of the permanent mandibular second molar, a unique device is described in this publication.The distal extension of a normal distal shoe appliance was extended distally along with a fixed bilateral appliance, a modified band and loop, and other components in this design. Conclusion:For individuals with bilateral molar loss, a modified distal shoe appliance is a promising option.
