The Sociocultural Determinants of Cervical Cancer Outcomes in India: A Critical Review of Diagnostic Delays and Treatment Disparities.

Cervical cancer remains a major health concern in India, despite being preventable through human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and routine screening. This review examines the key barriers that prevent early detection and treatment, focusing on healthcare system challenges, sociocultural influences, and economic factors. The findings highlight that many women, especially those from rural and lower-income communities, do not have access to proper screening or vaccination due to a lack of awareness, financial difficulties, and inadequate healthcare facilities.

Determining Vertical Dimension in Edentulous Patients Through Cephalometric Evaluation: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction Accurate determination of occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) is essential for the success of complete denture prostheses, as it influences esthetics, phonetics, comfort, and function. Traditional methods for assessing OVD often lack standardization and can be inconsistent, particularly in completely edentulous patients. Cephalometric analysis offers a radiographic alternative based on stable craniofacial landmarks.

Molecular docking and MD simulation approach to identify potential phytochemical lead molecule against triple negative breast cancer.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) are defined as tumors that lack the expression of the estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). It exhibits unique clinical and pathological features, demonstrates high aggressiveness, and has a relatively poor prognosis and clinical outcome.

Objective: To identify a novel drug target protein against TNBC and potential phytochemical lead molecules against the identified target.

Ameloblastic Fibroma: Clinical Perspectives on a Rare Odontogenic Lesion.

Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is a rare non-cancerous growth in the jaw that involves abnormal development of the epithelial and connective tissue parts of a tooth. A 33-year-old female presented with bleeding gums, mobile anterior mandibular teeth, and persistent halitosis. Initial oral examination and orthopantomogram revealed a unilocular radiolucent lesion with partially sclerotic borders, associated with an unerupted supernumerary tooth in the mandibular ramus.
