RESUMO
Vitamin D-dependent type II rickets (VDDRII) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene, leading to end-organ resistance to 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3. It presents with refractory rickets and growth retardation presenting in the first year of life. It is frequently associated with alopecia totalis. Due to target organresistance, its response to vitamin D is poor. The recommended treatment is giving supra physiological dose of 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3 and a high dose of oral or intravenous calcium. The response of alopecia to treatment is generally poor. We present a 3 ' year-old male child with VDDR II whose alopecia and rickets partially responded to 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3.

Total 463 undergraduate students (216 males & 247 females) of ASRAM medical college of Andlira Pradesh were surveyed regarding awareness about biomedical waste management. Most of the students have heard about biomedical waste. Some of them were aware that it causes health hazards. But knowledge about category of wastes, duration of waste storage, responsibility of waste, type of bags used for collection, identification of Biohazard symbol was poor. Awareness of Biomedical waste. management and Handling rule 1998 was also poor. There were gaps in various aspects of Biomedical waste management among medical students. Appropriate training or inclusion of a topic in undergraduate medical curriculum can fulfill this.

30 subjects with class II silver amalgam restorations were studied to evaluate the influence of these restorations on periodontal health of the adjacent region. The incidence of overhangings were noted. The periodontal changes were recorded with the help of indices. The surface of the restoration and the interface between the restoration and the cavity margin were observed on extracted teeth under SEM. The gingival and periodontal status at the site of the restoration were affected by the restoration and the restoration showed a rough surface as compared to the enamel on SEM examination.
