    Abstract Background & objectives: Paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria is a rare acquired disease characterized by bone marrow failure, intravascular haemolysis and thrombophilia. Thrombosis is the deadliest complication of paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH). The present study was conducted to study the prevalence of PNH in cases of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) which was previously undocumented from western Rajasthan.
    Methods: In the present cross-sectional study, 61 adult patients with DVT were tested using flow cytometry to detect PNH clones. Blood samples were processed using fluorescein-labelled proaerolysin, CD14, CD24, CD33 and CD45 panels for granulocytes and monocytes and CD59 and CD235a panel for red blood cells.
    Results: Three cases (4.92%) having large clones on monocytes as well as granulocytes, which fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of PNH were detected. Further, three cases (4.92%) showed small clones on both granulocytes and monocytes. Nine (15%) cases showed small clones only on granulocytes, and 11 (18%) cases showed small clones only on monocytes.
    Interpretation & conclusions: The results of the present study suggest that a higher proportion of patients had PNH in western Rajasthan compared to previously reported studies from elsewhere. It is suggested that PNH testing should be added to the procoagulant work-up panel in institutions of this region where it is not routinely done. This provides an otherwise missed opportunity to diagnose this disorder. Eculizumab may be employed, which is effective in reducing thrombophilic events in cases of PNH.

    Abstract Aim: This study was undertaken to evaluate the risk factors and associated pathways for unmet dental prosthetic needs among older adult population in Central India.
    Methods: A total of 11,145 randomly selected older adults participated in the study; 4613 from urban region and 6532 form rural region. Oral examinations were conducted at individual households for recording dental caries, periodontal disease, prosthetic status and needs. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used to examine relationship between a set of exogenous variables and unmet dental prosthetic needs with variables that remained significant in the adjusted multilevel logistic model. Path coefficients were calculated for all variables with 95% confidence interval. Goodness of fit of the model was assessed by several indices.
    Results: A total of 8433 (75.7%) participants had never visited a dentist and 9139 (82%) had unmet dental prosthetic needs. Dental caries was observed among 3207 (69.5%) and 4644 (71.1%) study participants from urban and rural regions respectively (p < .05). Low utilization of dental services was associated with high dental prosthetic needs in upper arch and lower arch (PC = -0.05, 0.001) and DMFT was associated with lower utilization of dental services (PC = -0.09, 0.001). DMFT was also associated with age, annual income, level of education, paternal education, type of family, tobacco consumption and CPI score in the hypothesized model. The fit indices used indicated that the model was adequate.
    Conclusions: Dental prosthetic needs in the proposed pathway model was associated with low utilization of dental services, dental caries, periodontal disease and other socio-demographic factors.

    Abstract Objective: Several prevalence studies have estimated the region-specific impact of oral diseases on oral health-related quality of life. However, none of them reported and compared the same from a global perspective. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate pooled epidemiologic data about child-oral impacts on daily performance (C-OIDP) globally.
    Methods: A search was conducted in PubMed, Science Direct, SciELO, Semantic scholar, and Cochrane databases up to January 2023. Studies evaluating OIDP among 11-18-year-olds were included in the review. Quality of the included studies was evaluated using the health states quality index for cross-sectional studies. The meta-analysis used R package software version 4.3.0. A common effect model was used to calculate the pooled prevalence. The protocol was registered in the PROSPERO (CRD-NIHR) database with Reference ID CRD42023393798.
    Results: The systematic literature search yielded 257 unique citations. After screening titles and abstracts, 214 irrelevant citations were excluded, leaving 55 for full-text review. Overall, 43 studies from 23 countries were included. The meta-analysis reported a pooled prevalence impact C-OIDP of 53.36% (CI: 52.78-53.95, 43 studies, 16,622 participants). The prevalence of C-OIDP scores among South America, Asia, Europe, Africa and Oceania was 83%, 63%, 58%, 33% and 47%, respectively. The maximum prevalence was reported in South America while the least prevalence was noted in the African population.
    Conclusion: Oral diseases affect the oral health-related quality of life of more than half of children and adolescents globally. Huge variations were noted in the prevalence of oral impacts across different regions. These findings can be utilized by policymakers to draft measures required for reducing impacts of oral diseases and improving the health-related quality of life.

    Abstract Enteric fever is a major contributor to rising health care costs in developing countries. Associated disease-related complications and drug resistance further compound this problem. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an uncommon complication of enteric fever with high morbidity and mortality. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes in enteric fever-associated HLH syndrome. We searched major electronic databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus) to identify the cases of enteric fever associated with HLH from inception until June 2023. Prespecified data regarding clinical presentation, outcomes, and HLH therapy were collected. A total of 53 cases of enteric fever with HLH were included in the final analysis. The mean age of patients was 20 years, and the proportions of female and pediatric patients were 52.8% and 45.3%, respectively. The mean duration of illness was 10.4 days. A total of 39.6% of patients had enteric fever-associated complications; coagulopathy and encephalopathy were the most common (23.1% and 13.5%). The overall mortality rate was 9.4% in HLH. A total of 51% of patients received HLH-specific therapy (corticosteroids in 41.5% and intravenous immunoglobulin in 20.8% of patients). On multivariate analysis, high ferritin levels (≥5,000 ng/mL) were significantly associated with mortality (hazard ratio, 3.01; 95% CI = 0.62-14.12, P = 0.041). Enteric fever with secondary HLH is associated with high mortality. This review reveals the potential role of ferritin in disease prognosis. In cases with significantly elevated ferritin levels, the role of immunosuppressants or combination antibiotics should be explored.

    Abstract Background: Patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) present with a variety of oral manifestations. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review to estimate the prevalence of oral lesions among COVID-19 patients.
    Methods: An extensive literature search of several electronic bibliographic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Litcovid) was conducted to retrieve all articles published in the English language from January 1, 2020 to March 31, 2023 that reported the prevalence of oral manifestations among COVID-19 patients. A meta-analysis of pooled prevalence was performed using Jamovi ver. 2.3 (2022). The I2 and Q statistics were used to assess heterogeneity between studies, and p-values <0.01 were considered statistically significant.
    Results: In total, 79 studies with data from 13,252 patients were included. The articles were predominantly published in 2020 (n=33), and Italy was the most common country (n=14). Most of the affected patients more than 50 years old and women (56.6%). The most common sites of involvement were the tongue (n=65), followed by the oral mucosa (n=37) and lips (n=19). High heterogeneity was found between studies. The most common oral manifestation was taste alteration, followed by xerostomia and ulceration, showing pooled prevalence rates of 48%, 35%, and 21%, respectively.
    Conclusion: COVID-19 patients show various oral manifestations that may help clinicians identify the disease promptly. Recognition of the signs and symptoms of COVID-19 is critical for an early diagnosis and better prognosis.

    Abstract The aim of this analysis was to evaluate the maxillary incisor intrusion and change in overbite achieved by micro-implants compared to Connecticut intrusion arches among post-pubertal patients with deep bite. Medline, PubMed, Cochrane, and Google scholar were searched for studies falling under the inclusion criteria. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and controlled clinical trials (CCTs) com- paring maxillary incisor intrusion among post-pubertal deep bite cases treated by mini-implants and Connecticut intrusion arches were to be included. Outcome data were extracted using guidelines published by the Cochrane Collaboration. A systematic review was conducted using Cochrane Program Review Manager, version 5. A random effects model was used to assess the mean difference in the amount of incisor intrusion and overbite correction achieved between the 2 methods. Statistical significance was set at P < .05. Assessment of certainty of evidence was conducted using GRADE analysis. Six trials met the inclusion criteria. Mean differences for incisor intrusion -0.67 [95% CI, 0.97, 0.38] I2 = 31%; P < .00001) and overbite correction -0.51 [95% CI, 0.85, 0.16] I2 = 50%; P = .004) achieved with mini-implants were found to be significantly effective when compared to the Connecticut intrusion arch. Low to mod- erate heterogeneity was noted for incisor intrusion and change in overbite analysis respectively. High certainty of evidence was noted for higher association of mini-implants with incisor intrusion and overbite correction. Our meta-analysis suggests that mini-implants are superior to the Connecticut intrusion arch with respect to the amount of incisor intrusion and overbite correction. Further studies are still needed to confirm the superiority.

    Abstract Statement of problem: Aggressive surgical debridement including maxillectomy in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) associated mucormycosis of the maxilla alters facial appearance, function, and an individual's overall quality of life (QOL). These patients require rehabilitation of defects with obturators to help them recover from esthetic and functional disabilities and regain near-normal quality of life. Because COVID-19 associated with mucormycosis is a newer entity, less is known about the quality of life of these patients after rehabilitation with obturators. Hence, the effects of COVID-19 associated with mucormycosis, treatment, and rehabilitation need to be evaluated to assess QOL.
    Purpose: The purpose of this clinical study was to assess the impact on QOL after rehabilitation with obturators for participants with COVID-19-associated mucormycosis who underwent maxillectomy.
    Material and methods: Oral health impact profile-14 (OHIP-14) and obturator functioning scale (OFS) questionnaires were administered to 26 participants with COVID-19-associated mucormycosis of the maxilla who underwent maxillectomy and required rehabilitation with obturators. Questionnaire responses were received on numerical Likert scales of 0 to 4 for OHIP-14 and 1 to 5 for OFS. The repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) with pairwise post hoc Bonferroni tests were used to evaluate and compare mean scores of OHIP-14 and OFS at different preoperative and postoperative stages (α=.05).
    Results: A total of 26 participants who underwent maxillectomy were provided with obturators. A higher mean ±standard deviation OHIP score was observed before rehabilitation at T1 (51.0 ±9.6) followed by 1 week after fabrication of the surgical obturator at T2 (18.6 ±16.4), and 1 week after fabrication of the interim obturator at T3 (4.7 ±8.2). The lower mean scores ±standard deviation were seen 1 week after the fabrication of definitive obturators at T4 (2.9 ±7.2). Comparison of the scores at T1, T2, T3, and T4 found significant difference (P≤.001). Similarly, higher mean ±standard deviation OFS scores were seen 1 week after rehabilitation with surgical obturators at T2 (27.3 ±12.6) and at least 1 week after fabrication with definitive obturators at T4 (15.7 ±5.6). A comparison of the scores at T2, T3, and T4 found significant differences (P≤.001).
    Conclusions: Considerable improvement was seen in QOL with the fabrication of surgical obturators in participants who had received maxillectomy/debridement for mucormycosis. This improvement had a linear relationship with the time elapsed and the consecutive fitting of the obturators with healing.

    Abstract Abstract: Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), a subtype of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), is associated with unique clinical, morphological, and immunohistochemical features. The peripheral circulation might show presence of an occasional reactive plasma cell but significant plasmacytosis masquerading as plasma cell leukemia is rare. We report a case of AITL in a 42-year-old male, who presented with two-month history of generalized lymphadenopathy. On investigations, he had hypergammaglobulinemia and plasmacytosis in the peripheral blood and bone marrow masquerading as plasma cell leukemia. Immunohistochemistry and serum protein electrophoresis revealed polyclonal nature of plasma cells. Diagnosis of AITL was made on cervical lymph node biopsy. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge faced due to heterogeneity in the clinical presentation and pathological findings and to alert the clinician so that timely accurate diagnosis can be made to initiate the treatment.

    Abstract Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the effect of premature loss of primary teeth in children of mixed dentition age on the prevalence of malocclusion in permanent dentition.
    Material and methods: A search was conducted in Medline through PubMed, Cochrane databases, Google Scholar, and Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) through March 2023. All observational studies that evaluated the association between premature loss of primary teeth and malocclusion in permanent dentition were included for analysis. Quality of studies was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa tool. Meta-analysis was conducted using Cochrane Review Manager (RevMan) Version 5.3. The association between different categories of malocclusion and premature loss of primary teeth was assessed using a random-effects model. Heterogeneity was explored through sensitivity analysis. Certainty of evidence was evaluated using GRADE analysis.
    Results: This meta-analysis showed that the premature loss of primary teeth significantly increases the prevalence of overall malocclusion in permanent dentition (OR=2.54, P=0.003; I
    Conclusion: This meta-analysis provides substantial evidence supporting the relationship between premature loss of primary teeth and malocclusion in permanent dentition. Notably, Class III malocclusions exhibited a significant association with premature loss of primary teeth.
