ABSTRACT
Cancer is an abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells that spreads through cell division. There are different types of medicines available to treat cancers, but no drug is found to be fully effective and safe for humans. The major problem involved in the cancer treatments is the toxicity of the established drug and their side effects. Medicinal plants are used as folk medicines in Asian and African populations for thousands of years. 60% of the drugs for treating cancer are derived from plants. More than 3000 plants have anticancer activity. The present review aims at the study of a broad spectrum survey of plants having anticancer components for different type of cancers. This article consists of 364 medicinal plants and their different parts as potential Source of Anticancer Agents.

Laser equipment represents surely one of the most captivating technologies in the practice of dental medicine. Over the last two decades, numerousscientific publications have emerged in literature, concerning laser equipments and their applications in the field of dental medicine. Presently, in accordancewith their specific wavelength, laser equipments are available on a large scale. This material reviews the most common, most current newly emerged applications of laser in dental medicine. The applications of laser therapy are presented on soft as well as hard tissues. Although laser cannot fully replace all the conventional techniques of dental medicine, the progress is obvious, and laser is expected to become an essential component of conservatory dental medicine.
ABSTRACT
Trauma to anterior tooth is a relatively common event. Crown-root fractures are often difficult to treat and are time consuming, which causes psychological trauma to the patient during that period. Fracture of tooth after trauma is distressing to a person because of the discomfort and pain due to pulpal injury. Crown root fractures of anterior teeth cause concomitant periodontal injury and there will be concern about appearance and aesthetics. Management of pulpal and periodontal tissue relieves pain and restoration of tooth form regains patient's confidence. Restoration of fractured tooth will be accepted readily if it is minimally invasive, less expensive, and aesthetically acceptable. Reattachment is an option for restoration of anterior teeth compared to other artificial replacements because of its appearance as natural. This method is favourable when the fractured fragment is intact and available. Utilization of pulp space for retention of fragment is achieved by the insertion of a dentine bonding post. This case report describes a case of tooth reattachment after trauma in which the pulp space is utilized to bond a fibre-reinforced post for retention after periodontal tissue management.
ABSTRACT
Minimally invasive spinal surgery will be a highlight of operative approaches in the twenty-first century and already has been popularized worldwide. This procedure will provide surgical options that address several pathological conditions in the spinal column without producing the types of morbidity commonly seen in open surgical procedures. The objective was to assess the outcomes of minimally invasive posterior stabilization of dorsal and lumbar spine fractures. Methods: This was a prospective study of twenty patients with dorsal or lumbar fractures who were admitted at Sri Ramachandra University. All patients having dorsal and lumbar spinal fractures with intact neurology were included in the study. All the patients underwent minimally invasive posterior stabilization by freehand technique. Functional outcomes were measured by VAS scale, ASIA scoring (neurology), and their ability to mobilize. Results: The average duration of surgery was 85.50 minutes. The average blood loss in our study group was 77 ml. The average operation to mobilization time was 2.2 days. The average post-operative Cobb’s angle was 0.6 degree of kyphosis. The average post-operative gain was 12 degree. Conclusion: Minimally invasive percutaneous stabilization of the spine helps to minimize approach related morbidity and secondary iatrogenic soft tissue trauma. It enables early mobilization, which contributes to improved outcome.
