Dental caries, oral hygiene status and deleterious habits among migrant construction workers of Belagavi, India
Conclusion: Migrant construction workers in Belagavi had a high caries prevalence, poor oral hygiene status, and a high prevalence of deleterious habits such as tobacco use. These results emphasize the necessity of awareness and dental health education programs to improve the oral health of construction workers. (Source: Journal of Preventive Medicine and Hygiene)

Emerging Nitrate Contamination in Groundwater: Changing Phase in a Fast-Growing State of India
This study aimed to assess the hydrochemistry and nitrate contamination in groundwater of Kerala state, India for the years 2010 and 2018 and evaluate the potential human health risks due to nitrate exposure in adults, and children through oral ingestion and dermal contact pathways. Nitrate-contaminated zones were identified by spatial mapping of nitrate concentration based on groundwater quality data of 324 wells. Groundwater is typically acidic to slightly alkaline, and the electrical conductivity (EC) varied from 33 to 1180 μS/cm in 2010 and 34.6 to 2500 mg/L in 2018 indicating a noticeable increase over the years. Mos...

Organic matter sources and distribution along land-use gradient in a Himalayan Foothills River: Insights from molecular markers
Environ Res. 2024 Apr 12:118909. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118909. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe analysis of hydrocarbon biomarkers in surface sediments along the Markanda River in the foothills of the Indian Himalayas was conducted to gain insights into the distribution and composition of organic matter (OM) within the sediments. This investigation is essential for comprehending how anthropogenic changes are influencing the OM dynamics in river systems. The study involved identification and quantification of various compound groups such as n-alkanes, hopanes, steranes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), linear ...

Heterotopic Pancreas: Unusual Cause of Usual Diarrhoea
AbstractHeterotopic pancreas (HP) also known as ectopic pancreas, pancreatic crest or accessory pancreas is the normal pancreatic tissue, found in a remote area other than its natural location, with no anatomic or vascular connection to main pancreatic tissue. It is a rare congenital anomaly and has been reported at many locations such as stomach (antrum) and small intestine. HP is usually an incidental finding and asymptomatic, however there are reports of pancreatitis, obstruction, perforation and malignant transformation as uncommon manifestations. Diagnosis of HP is primarily based on histological examination either by...
