    Abstract The most incredible diversity, abundance, spread, and adaptability in biology are found in insects. The foundation of insect study and pest management is insect recognition. However, most of the current insect recognition research depends on a small number of insect taxonomic experts. We can use computers to differentiate insects accurately instead of professionals because of the quick advancement of computer technology. The “YOLOv5” model, with five different state of the art object detection techniques, has been used in this insect recognition and classification investigation to identify insects with the subtle differences between subcategories. To enhance the critical information in the feature map and weaken the supporting information, both channel and spatial attention modules are introduced, improving the network’s capacity for recognition. The experimental findings show that the F1 score approaches 0.90, and the mAP value reaches 93% through learning on the self-made pest dataset. The F1 score increased by 0.02, and the map increased by 1% as compared to other YOLOv5 models, demonstrating the success of the upgraded YOLOv5-based insect detection system.

    Abstract Human dirofilariasis is a mosquito-borne/zoonotic nematode parasitic infestation caused by the genus Dirofilaria. From the forty isolated species of dirofilariasis, six are known to cause human infections. Intraoral occurrence is rare. We are reporting a case of oral dirofilariasis from Kerala, South India, with the view of acquainting Keralite dental professionals and Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons with the possibility of the parasitic infection in case of recurrent swellings and when the patient hails from a tropical climate and region where animal husbandry is the mainstay of livelihood.

    Abstract Background: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain is a common condition that can significantly impact an individual's quality of life. Current treatment options often fall short of providing long-lasting relief. So, this prospective clinical study aimed to investigate the efficacy of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (I-PRF) in mitigating TMJ pain.
    Methods: A total of 68 participants, aged 18-60 years, clinically diagnosed with TMJ pain, were recruited from dental clinics and specialist referrals. Participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (I-PRF injections) or the control group (placebo). Primary outcome measures included TMJ pain intensity and jaw function, assessed using the Visual Analog Scale and functional examinations, respectively. Secondary outcomes comprised patient-reported outcomes (PROs) on quality of life and satisfaction. Data were collected at baseline and six, 12, and 24 weeks post intervention.
    Results: Baseline characteristics demonstrated successful randomization, with no significant differences in age, gender, or TMJ pain duration between groups. Post intervention, the intervention group exhibited a significant and sustained reduction in TMJ pain intensity compared to controls (p<0.001). Improvements in jaw function were also notable in the intervention group at all follow-up time points (p<0.001). PROs related to quality of life and satisfaction substantially increased in the intervention group compared to controls (p<0.001).
    Conclusion: I-PRF demonstrated significant efficacy in reducing TMJ pain intensity, improving jaw function, and enhancing PROs. These findings support the consideration of I-PRF as a valuable therapeutic intervention for individuals with TMJ pain.

    Abstract Background: Behavioural risk factors may often present during adolescence and account for 70% of premature deaths during adulthood. Excessive sedentary behaviour and screen time have become significant concerns, especially among adolescents, due to their potential negative impact on physical and mental health. Adolescents with a high screen-based sedentary time are more likely to be physically inactive, have unhealthy body structure and poor academic performance. The objective of our study is to assess the effect of multi-component modular educational intervention on screen-based sedentary time (SST) and non-screen-based Sedentary time (NSST) among adolescents.
    Methods: Ethical approval for the study has been obtained from the institutional Ethics Committee of Kasturba Medical College in Mangalore, India. This cluster randomized control trial will be carried out in schools located in the urban area of Mangalore. Using simple randomization, the eligible schools will be randomized into intervention and control arms, each consisting of 10 clusters. A multi-component modular educational intervention will be administered to participants in the intervention group at baseline, second and fourth month. The control group will receive the standard curriculum. Both the groups will be assessed at baseline and at second month, fourth month and sixth month of follow up for SST, NSST and level of physical activity. Anthropometric measurements like height, weight, waist circumference and hip circumference will be taken at baseline and sixth month of follow up.
    Results: A comprehensive school-based modular educational intervention can have cumulative advantages by reducing screen- and non-screen-based sedentary time, and encouraging physical activity. Similar modular teaching can be incorporated into the curriculum, which will promote healthy life-style among the adolescents.

    Abstract The soft tissue tumor lipoma is quite frequent. Although it is the most mesenchymal tumor of the trunk and proximal regions of the extremities, it is quite uncommon to find it on the oral mucosa, accounting for just 1% to 5% of benign oral tumors. There is no specific location that is more prone to lipoma development in the mouth. Some frequent sites are the tongue, buccal mucosa, and the mouth's floor. A Yellowish mass with no symptoms is the normal clinical appearance. In most cases, the overlaying epithelium is unharmed, and superficial blood vessels may be seen passing through and around the tumor. The differential diagnosis might also include granular cell tumors, neurofibroma, traumatic fibroma, and diseases of the salivary glands (mucocele and mixed tumor). Herein a detailed case of a 28-year-old woman with a right-sided lower-lip oral lipoma is presented in this paper.

    Abstract Background: The infant and young child feeding practices (IYCF) decide child growth and well-being. Paternal perspectives and involvement in IYCF are of paramount importance and are grossly under-studied.
    Aims: To study the experiences and opinions of fathers of infants and young children towards feeding practices.
    Settings and design: Two focus group discussions (FGD) were carried out in the community settings in Dakshina Kannada District, Karnataka State.
    Methods and material: FGDs were carried out in the areas of two selected primary health centres. FGD guide was used and the discussions were audio recorded. Themes were derived from the transcript.
    Results: Four main themes were generated from the transcripts of two FGDs. Lack of time to involve in child feeding, lack of felt need for increased involvement, sense of being complete in providing paternal care and readiness to learn were the generated themes. All participating fathers had favourable attitudes towards learning more about IYCF.
    Conclusions: Lack of time felt need for higher paternal involvement in IYCF and sense of being complete in providing paternal care were the themes extracted, along with favourable attitude towards increasing their involvement in IYCF.

    Abstract Aims and objectives: The aim of the current cross-sectional study was to conduct a survey among the oral and maxillofacial surgeons of South India regarding their experiences of incidence of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) neurosensory deficit after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) for correction of mandibular retrognathism and to assess the intra-operative nerve encounters and its effect on the inferior alveolar neurosensory deficit (NSD), 6 months post-operatively.
    Materials and methods: A self-administered questionnaire (SAQ) was prepared using Google Forms (Google Inc.) and sent to the prospective participants through various social media outlets such as Facebook, WhatsApp groups etc., of the maxillofacial surgery specialty for a period of 3 months. SAQ from surgeons with more than 5 years of experience in orthognathic surgery were included.
    Results: The incidence of NSD post-BSSO advancement surgery from 859 cases after 6 months was 15.1% (130). After splitting the mandible, the IAN was seen in the proximal fragment in 472 sites and needed dissection. The nerve was transected and neurorrhaphy was carried out in 26 sites. A Chi-square test was used to analyse the qualitative variables. The IAN was not visible post-osteotomy in 140 sites and in the distal fragment in 1080 sites. These groups had decreased incidence of NSD. The NSD was significantly higher in cases where the nerve was transected and sutured, P value <0.001 as compared with the other nerve status, followed by the nerve in the proximal fragment needing dissection.
    Conclusion: The IAN status intra-operatively can be assumed to have a significant role in persisting NSD.

    Abstract Research is the key to advancement in medical science. Medical school can nurture the skill of research right from the under graduation. Research forms an integral part of the medical curriculum in western countries. We attempted the same in our medical school in India. We developed a structured research methodology program, which was implemented in the undergraduate (UG) curriculum in two phases. Phase I focuses on research methodology and Phase II on manuscript writing. With the implementation of a competency-based medical education curriculum (CBME), we have extended the research methodology program with manuscript writing and introduction to systematic reviews, which is being offered as electives to UG medical students in the third professional year. Our experience in training students at an UG level has been immensely satisfying. We hope that this article will help other medical schools to adopt a similar method of training UG medical students in research methodology and scientific medical writing.
