    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the marginal leakage of three different types of bonding agents used with two posterior composites and a giomer, available commercially.
    Material and methods: Class II box-only cavities were prepared on 90 mandibular first molars with margins extending 1 mm beyond the cementoenamel junction. The samples were divided into nine groups based on three different bonding agents, two different composites, and a giomer. Cavities were restored per the manufacturer's description. Teeth were subjected to a thermocycling procedure (500×, 5°C to 55°C) and dye penetration by immersing in a 2% methylene blue solution (Merck Specialties) for 24 hours. The marginal adaptation was evaluated as a continuous margin at the gingival level under a stereomicroscope. The results were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests.
    Results: The results of the groups with the total-etch technique showed no statistical difference between the nanohybrid Filtek Z250 XT (3M ESPE) and fine hybrid SwissTEC composite (Coltène\Whaledent AG). The groups with the self-etch technique showed no statistical difference when used with either of the two composites. The acid-etch technique showed better marginal adaptation than the self-etch technique. When the giomer (Beautifil II, Shofu) was used with the total-etch technique, it showed better adaptation than when used with the self-etch technique but overall showed more marginal leakage than the composites.
    Conclusion: The total-etch technique provided better marginal adaptation for the composites and giomer compared to the self-etch technique.
    Clinical significance: The demand for esthetic restorations continues to increase, and composite restorations are now considered the material of choice for Class II cavities. There are various concerns with composite restorations, one of them being good marginal adaptation to increase the life of the restoration. This study evaluated marginal leakage with the nanohybrid composite Filtek Z250 XT, fine hybrid composite SwissTEC, and a giomer when used with the total-etch technique and self-etch technique and reported satisfactory adaptation with the total-etch technique.

    Abstract Background: One of the major objectives of orthodontic treatment is to improve facial attractiveness. To orthodontists, this means that the nose, lips, and chin form an attractive outline when the faces are viewed from one side. The aim of the study is to evaluate the influence of lip inclination on perceived attractiveness using North Indian observer ratings on profile silhouettes.
    Materials and methods: A profile photograph of an Indian male and female were converted to silhouettes for the study using computer software. The lip inclination of the idealized profile image was altered in two-degree increments to create a series of profiles with different upper lip inclination angles and rated by laypersons on a Likert scale.
    Results: An angle of 79° was deemed to be neither attractive nor unattractive. Therefore, within the range of 65°-75°, the pictures were deemed acceptable. Angles above or below this range, up to 91° were perceived as slightly unattractive, and anything outside the range of 93°-105° was deemed very unattractive.
    Limitations: The study is not generalizable to ethnic groups other than the North Indian population. Another limitation is the inability to visualize the entire face for a complete facial analysis.
    Conclusion: An upper lip inclination of 75°-85° in the male profile was associated with perceived attractiveness in all three groups whereas it was in the range of 65°-75° for a female profile. An upper lip inclination angle ranging from 95° to 105° was associated with unattractiveness in all three groups of observers and requires correctional intervention.

    Abstract Purpose: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has had a global effect on the training of residents of medicine because of what has been required in the pandemic. The field of oncology has not been spared, as prepandemic training schedules have not been available for residents. We conducted an online survey to understand the effect of the pandemic and the effect of online teaching schedules as a measure to help residents of oncology in their training.
    Methods and materials: An online survey consisting of 31 questions was sent through various social media platforms based on the training pattern before the onset of COVID-19, effect of the pandemic on educational activities, and the effect of online academic activities on residency training and learning. The survey addressed the need for online academics as an alternate mode of teaching. The survey was left open for a period of 4 weeks with participation requests from the various branches of oncology, including radiation, surgical and medical oncology, onco-anesthesia, palliative oncology, neuro-oncology, and so forth. The frequencies obtained in the survey were analyzed using descriptive statistical analyses.
    Results: After a 4-week period, there were 255 responses received from students of oncology from various specialties. Around 69.8.1% of respondents (n = 178) were junior residents, followed by senior residents (n = 72; 28.2%). The majority of the respondents were radiation oncologists (n = 204; 80%). Around 70.9% had an ongoing structured teaching program related to oncology training, with the majority (40.3%) of them having more than 3 hours every week of oncology-based training. Another 31.3% reported having 1 to 2 hours of such training every week, and 60.8% of participants agreed their training was affected by pandemic and related safety regulations. Most students (90.9%) found the online teaching sessions helped maintain training qualities as they were in the pre-COVID times. About 69.1% of the students felt that the quality of these online sessions was better compared with the institute-based onsite classroom teaching. However, as is expected, 77.6% of them agreed that their hands-on training was affected in the pandemic. When asked if online teaching can replace every aspect of classroom teaching, 66.7% of respondents did not agree. The majority (83.9%) felt that students should be given the opportunity to present a given topic under the supervision of a senior faculty member experienced and expert in that topic. The students pointed out the lack of practical exposure as the most common deficiency, followed by the lack of direct interaction with the teaching faculty.
    Conclusions: The pandemic has limited the access to essential training in the branches of oncology, and though online sessions cannot replace the hands-on training and clinical exposure needed for the students, online academics and webinars have proven to be an effective tool to minimize that effect and can lead to a positive outcome, as shown by the survey. A combination of online and onsite training modules may be the future of teaching and training in our country.

    Abstract Malnutrition among adolescents is an important public health issue in India. The aim of the present study was to assess nutritional status and body composition characteristics of adolescent girls and their interrelationships with physical activity and socioeconomic status (SES). Nutritional status and body composition characteristics were assessed in terms of body mass index (BMI), upper arm muscle area by height (UAMAH) and percent body fat (PBF) among 276 Tibetan adolescent girls from Kangra district, Himachal Pradesh. Overall, 12.7% of the girls were in the wasting category (using Z-score based classification for UAMAH) and 9.8% were thin. About 16.3% girls were obese. Significant variabilities of PBF have been observed with respect to age and levels of physical activity and wasting. Adolescent girls were observed to have higher lean body mass than body fat.

    Abstract Fungal infections are quite common in day-to-day practice. The available conventional treatments include various topical and systemic anti-pruritic and anti-fungal agents which are associated with high rates of treatment failure and adverse effects. Fungal infections manifest a great challenge to clinicians due to higher rate of recurrences and if not treated early, can lead to the development of more extensive diseases. In Ayurveda, this condition has resemblance with Dadru kustha. The characteristics of Dadrukustha are circumscribed erythematous, scaly plaques due to dematophytes infection. It is a type of Kshudra kushta, tridosaja vyadhi with dominance of pitta and kaphadosha, having characteristic features such as presence of utsannamandal (elevated circular skin lesion), kandu (itching), raga (erythyma), and pidaka (eruptions). In this case report, a 62-year old male patient suffering from tinea corporis on and off for one year was treated effectively with Ayurvedic medicines. Significant changes were observed in the skin lesion and in the patient symptoms after 42 days of regular treatment. Post-treatment follow-up after 1 month did not reveal any signs of recurrences of lesions. Ayurvedic medicines offer an effective approach to manage tinea corporis.

    Abstract Hybrid nano-structure consisting of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on two dimensional (2D) MoS₂ nanosheets (NS), prepared by liquid exfoliation method and ultrasonic mixing, showed solar energy driven enhanced photocatalytic capability on a model organic dye methylene blue (MB), having possible consequence in water purification. The Schottky junction between the Ag NP and MoS₂ NS interface induces shift of Fermi level to more negative potential, thereby increasing the life time of the charge carriers even more which leads to formation of sink for photo-excited electrons, and the Ag NPs and ultra-small (US) Ag NPs based Ag-MoS₂ samples show quick photocatalytic degradation of MB dye within 30 min (87%) and 8 min (93%), monitored by UV-Vis spectroscopy, with rate constants 64.1 × 10⁻³ min⁻¹ and 88.6 × 10⁻³ min⁻¹ respectively. With decreasing size of Ag NPs a wide surface area was covered and quantum confinement occurred which enhanced the electron transfer at the interface. These electrons are relocated to the constitutively existing molecular oxygen to produce numbers of influential oxidative radicals which results in effective degradation of MB. The corresponding photoluminescence spectra show blue shift and quenching with decreasing Ag NP size and lower MoS₂ number of layers, determined by Raman spectroscopy with respect to that of original MoS₂ nanosheet structures. The corresponding microstructures were determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), while the chemical composition was found using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
