ABSTRACT
The present study was conducted to assess the incidence of defoliator pests of groundnut in three different staggered sowings. The experiment was laid with three treatments and seven replications which was carried out at RARS (Regional Agricultural Research Station), Palem, Nagarkurnool district, Telangana state which is having hot and dry climate. The data has been correlated with various weather parameters, including Maximum temperature, Maximum temperature, RH-I and RH-II. The variety K-6 was grown in three staggered sowings (D1: 1st Oct; D2: 15th Oct; D3: 1st Nov). There was a less population of leaf miner during D1 the correlation studies revealed that tobacco caterpillar showed a non-significant negative correlation with the Tmax ºC (r= -0.233) and a significant positive correlation with Tmin ºC (r= 0.370) and RH-? (r=0.640). whereas gram caterpillar showed a positive significant correlation to Tmax (r= 0.256) and Tmin (r= 0.097) and a negative significant correlation towards RH-? (r= -0.186) and RH-? (r= -0.501).
ABSTRACT
Replacement of single missing tooth in the aesthetic region presents a challenge for a dentist.1 Various treatment considerations have to be dealt before decision making. Treatment options for such cases are removable partial denture, conventional or resin - bonded fixed partial denture (FPD), and implant-supported fixed prosthesis. Each modality is a possible treatment option and has its advantages and disadvantages.2,3 The treatment option selected would depend on patients’ age, desires, compliance, also the treatment cost, adjacent teeth conditions, bone availability and aesthetics being of prime concern. However, it is found that implant-supported crown is the most preferred option in case of single missing tooth in the aesthetic zone.2,4,5 Implants besides being advantageous over resin-bonded or traditional fixed partial dentures, they also prevent the unnecessary restoration on the adjacent sound teeth as required in an FPD. Hence, implants help in saving the integrity of the existing tooth in situations where the adjacent tooth is vital and have no restorations.2 Also, many authors have suggested implant as a predictable treatment option in case of single tooth replacement.6,7The success of implant is not only defined by the Osseo integration achieved but also its proper placement and with harmonious and naturally blending prosthesis.8 Yet sometimes, there may be situations wherein misaligned placement of implant and reduced interarch space for future prosthesis may pose a challenge for the Prosthodontist, especially in aesthetic zone. Methods like angulated abutments, castable abutments or in severe cases even removable prosthesis have been suggested to surmount such complications.4 The following article presents with two such case scenarios dental implants were restored with castable abutment.Restoration of missing teeth in aesthetic zone is of concern for any individual. Treatment options like removable partial denture, fixed partial denture or implant retained prosthesis can be opted. The treatment option selected would depend on patients’ age, desires, compliance, also the treatment cost, adjacent teeth conditions, bone availability and aesthetics being of prime concern.Keeping in mind the patients’ age bone and periodontal conditions, implant-supported crown is the most preferred option in case of single missing tooth in the aesthetic zone. The success of implant is not only defined by osseointegration achieved, but also its proper placement and with harmonious and naturally blending prosthesis. Yet sometimes, there may be situations wherein misaligned placement of implant and reduced interarch space for future prosthesis may pose a challenge for the prosthodontist, especially in the aesthetic zone. In such complex cases, restoration with a customized treatment plan has to be carried out in order to fulfil patients’ aesthetic requirement as well as restore the implant with a fixed prosthesis. The following article presents with two such case scenarios where the misaligned dental implant placed and the other with reduced interarch space were restored with castable abutment.
ABSTRACT
Introduction : Pneumoperitoneum leads to multiple changes in the mechanics of respiration and heart function.We decided to study the changes in arterial blood gas, EtCO and pH. We also studied hemodynamic changes due to pneumoperitoneum. Methodology : Fifty patients of ASA grade I and II, between the ages of20 to 65 years posted for elective laparoscopic surgery were selected. Arterial blood samples were collected pre-operatively.We also collected arterial blood intra-operatively at 10 min, 60 min and 120 min after insufflation of CO and soon after desufflation. Result : There was significant increase in EtCO after CO insufflation maximum at 60 minute and return to near baseline value after desufflation. There was significant rise in PaCO but within physiological range. There was significant decrease in pH maximum at the time of 120 minute. Blood pressure changes shows significant rise in diastolic blood pressure (p < 0.05). Conclusion : We concluded that diastolic blood pressure was kept under control by using volatile anesthetic agent. The EtCO PaCO and pH changes occurred significantly but remains within physiological range and corrected by increasing minute ventilation. Soon after desufflation all value returned to baseline in normal healthy patients. The EtCO correlate well with PaCO , so it is the best parameter to diagnose hypercarbia.
