Our society faces fresh challenges in every conceivable way, from an increase in the crime rate to a rise in natural disasters. In spite of the leaps in modern technology, medical breakthroughs in the identification of criminals remain a cumbersome task. The modern-day criminal investigation typically involves many different disciplines to solve a crime. The identification of a person's body is required when it is completely mutilated, disfigured, or beyond recognition-which might be due to any barbaric crime, accident, war, fire, or any natural disaster. Dental identification is one of the most reliable methods, as teeth and dental structures may survive adverse conditions. The techniques involved in forensic odontology include: bite mark analysis, tooth prints, rugroscopy, cheiloscopy, dental DNA analysis, radiographs, and photographs.
Today, our well-being and awareness have become markedly determined by our way of living through our everyday activities. Needless to say, daily practices specifically have a significant impact on the quality of sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an exhausting sleep disorder regulating an individual's routine life. Although several therapeutic modalities are available for curing OSA, behavioral therapies are also utilized for a positive outcome. Besides, several studies are performed to prove the efficacy of lifestyle strategies to resolute OSA in adults. Reducing weight, quitting alcohol and smoking, eating a nutritional diet, and exercising are the modifications to benefit people. This review aims to expand our knowledge of the association between alterations to comportment and better treatment outcomes for sleep apnea.
Congenital anomalies can occur during the developmental stages of the embryo, from abnormal genetics passed on from the parents or from vivid environmental factors. While advanced technologies are able to detect chromosomal abnormalities, there are many unknown non-genetic variants. Teratogenic factors pose a greater risk to the fetus, as these abnormalities may go undetected until birth. These malformations are the origin of the infant's postnatal illness and disability. The defects can also lead to mortality. The loss can also affect families, as they are affected by not only the loss but also financially. Most of the teratogenicinduced anomalies, once detected, maybe rehabilitated naturally. Those who do require medical intervention pose their own risks, similar to those of infections. Therefore, environmental exposure to teratogens can create long-lasting effects that range from infertility, intrauterine growth restriction, structural defects, and functional central nervous system abnormalities that may lead to fetal death.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
