ABSTRACT
Coronary artery anomalies are rare, and the incidence is around 1 to 2% in the general population. Majority of the patients are asymptomatic and detected while investigating another clinical issue. A few anomalies may be life-threatening due to the malignant course with potential for ischemia and even sudden death. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) has high accuracy in detecting these anomalies because of volume rendering (VR) and multiplanar reconstruction (MPR). ‘High take-off’, origin of the coronary artery from the opposite or noncoronary cusp with anomalous course and coronary artery fistula are three most frequent anomalies. MDCT can be a useful screening tool in the study of coronary anomalies.
ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION : Probiotics can be defined as living microbes,or as food ingredients containing living microbes, that beneficially influence the health of the host.the use of probiotic is said to be an imperative aspect in dentistry in prevention and treatment of caries,periodontal disease etc. AIM : This study aims to assess the knowledge and awareness of probiotics among dental students. METHODS : A total of 60 students from third year,final year and interns were surveyed regarding the knowledge of probiotics.A well structured and administered questionnaire including 12 questions was used to elicit the responses.the study was conducted during 2018–19 .Statistical analysis was done using descriptive statistics. RESULT : In this research majority of participants are third years.Study reveals 66% of participants are aware of the term probiotics and 75% of them agree probiotics are safe. CONCLUSION : It was reported that 83% of students were aware about the role of probiotics in improving the health, and majority of them willing to have it if it is recommended by professionals.
