No matter how much you love your favorite t-shirt, you only show it to the world a few days a year. On the other hand, your smile travels with you every day through every season. Your smile sends messages to everyone you meet. Studies show that your teeth are the main physical characteristic that people notice first, and a friendly smile sets the tone for every relationship in your personal and business life.
One of the most common complaints we hear from our dental patients is that their teeth are too small or too inconsistently shaped. If you feel that your teeth are strange sizes or feel self-conscious about gaps in your smile, you’re not alone. If you're unhappy with the appearance of your teeth, Prosthetic veneers may offer a significant change you automatically share with everyone around you.
Breast cancer is a public health problem as it is the second commonest cancer with increasing incidence (1 in 8 women aged 45-55) in the world. It is the second most common cause of death after lung cancer in the West. It is important to note that although over 90% of breast disease is benign, breast cancer is easily diagnosed as the suspicious lump is mostly discovered by the patient who calls the attention of the physician. The investigation of any breast abnormality must involve ‘triple assessment’-
Clinical examination-
Imaging-
Cytology-
Each of these diagnostic modalities complements the others, and together improves the diagnostic yield. None should thus be interpreted in isolation.
Screening for breast cancer in women aged 50-65 years enables the detection and treatment of cancers at an asymptomatic stage and the mortality can be reduced by a quarter. An important aspect of screening for breast cancer is biomarker testing, specifically the accurate assessment of the estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and Her2 status of a patient’s breast cancer. Biomarkers can be prognostic, predictive, or both. Prognostic biomarkers are independent measures of prognosis such that the presence or absence of the biomarker is associated with a patient’s overall clinical outcome (i.e., risk of recurrence and mortality). Predictive biomarkers, in contrast, predict whether or not a patient will respond to a given therapy. any factors influence the accuracy of detection of ER, PR, and Her2 in the laboratory. These include pre-analytical factors (including prompt fixation of appropriate duration), analytic factors (including utilization of validated procedures with ongoing proficiency testing), and post-analytic factors (including appropriate reporting). Importantly, the results of these tests alone are the key determinants of what treatment is selected. The goal is to provide the right treatment to the right patient.
Dysmenorrhea literally means painful menstruation. But a more realistic and practical definition includes cases of painful menstruation of sufficient magnitude so as to incapacitate day-to-day activities.
The burden of dysmenorrhea is greater than any other gynecological complaint: it is the leading cause of gynecological morbidity in women of reproductive age regardless of age, nationality, and economic status. The effects extend beyond individual women to society, resulting annually in an important loss of productivity. Thus, the World Health Organization estimated that dysmenorrhea is the most important cause of chronic pelvic pain.
It might be difficult to believe that clinical labs can achieve sustainable operations, given their high throughput and need for sterility. But in fact, much can be done to limit labs’ environmental impact Clinical laboratories use 10 times more energy than offices, more than four times more water, and generate billions of pounds of waste every year, nearly all of it considered hazardous. Clinical labs have to improvise in order to adapt to the sustainable model. However, with laboratories being a higher throughout area, the task seems difficult. Through simple changes, lab staff can make reductions in each of these four key areas—energy, water, waste, and hazardous chemicals—that will result in a safe, more sustainable lab also referred as “green-labs”. To achieve this, laboratory staff have to become mindful of the environment. Through implementation of some basic steps, laboratory personnel can minimize energy and water consumption, as well as reduce the waste generation in the clinical lab

Medical care is one of the most advancing field and have become a vital part of our life forming a bridge between life and death. There are many types of wastes produced from the hospitals. The report from World Health Organization states that 85% of hospital wastes are non-hazardous, whereas 10% are infectious and 5% are non-infectious but they are included in hazardous wastes.

Phospholipases (PLs) are a ubiquitous group of enzymes that share the property of hydrolyzing a common substrate, phospholipid.The phospholipases are diverse in the site of action on the phospholipid molecule, their function and mode of action, and their regulation. The diversity of function suggests that phospholipases are critical to life since the continual remodeling of cellular membranes requires the action of one or more phospholipase.
