This study shows that the bowel cleansing efficacy of morning-only 1-gallon PEG is superior and better tolerated compared with consumption of 1-gallon PEG in the evening before the day of an afternoon colonoscopy. Thus, administering 1-gallon PEG solution in the morning of an afternoon colonoscopy is a feasible option that can improve the quality of an afternoon colonoscopy.

Persistent left superior vena cava is a relatively rare vascular anomaly. It is, however, the most common variation in the thoracic venous system. The anomaly is typically detected on chest x-ray after the placement of a pulmonary artery catheter or pacemaker leads. This report describes a case of persistent left superior vena cava detected after successful placement of a pulmonary artery catheter.

The present study has enlightened the significance of two implant supported mandibular overdenture in improving the mental state of an individual and that the enhancement was due to functional improvement with prosthesis when loaded with implants and not due to mere existence of implant without any function.

IntroductionCrown materials used in fixed prosthodontics come into close and prolonged contact with the gingiva.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different crown materials on the interleukin-one beta (IL-1β) content of the gingival crevicular fluid and to study which crown material causes the highest inflammation on the marginal gingiva on a biochemical basis.Materials and MethodsTwenty patients with single endodontically treated tooth were examined. Contralateral teeth were taken as controls. The crown materials in contact with the marginal gingiva were divided into three groups: Group 1- metal, Group2- ceramic, Group 3-zirconia. The collected data were analyzed with International Bibliography of the Social Sciences (IBSS). Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Statistics software 23.0 (IBM Corp, Armonk, New York). All assay procedures were carried out and the results of the collected samples were calculated using the ELISA-AIDTM technique.ResultsMultiple comparisons using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) between the materials on day zero, 45th and 90th day was highly significant with p=0.0005. Pairwise comparison using Tukey’s honest significant difference (HSD) posthoc test was also highly statistically significant with p= 0.0005 except for ceramic & zirconia which were significant at p=0.04 on the 90th day. Multiple comparison using repeated measure of ANOVA with Bonferroni correction between day zero, 45th and 90th day was found to be statistically significant only for zirconia (p=0.002).ConclusionThis study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different crown materials on the amount of marginal gingival inflammation by measuring the IL-1β content in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). At the end of the three-month analysis, it was seen that the zirconia crowns exhibited the least marginal gingival inflammation.

Angiolipoma is one of the rare variant of lipoma. This benign tumour consists of both fatty and vascular elements. It mostly occur in the trunk and extremities and is uncommon in head and neck region. Angiolipoma is classified as infiltrating and non- infiltrating types. Among all neoplasms of the oral cavity, lipomas account for 1 to 5% and the incidence of angiolipoma is 5 to 17% in it. There is no sex predilection for this tumour. It is classified as infiltrative and non-infiltrative type. Surgical excision is the method to be considered for both the types of angiolipoma, however the infiltrating type recurs post-surgery. We report a rare case report of 55-year-old female with non-infiltrating angiolipoma of the hard palate mimicking a mucocele treated by surgical excision with no signs of recurrence and good wound healing after three months follow up with minimal scar formation.
