The infusion of information communication technology (ICT) into health services is emerging as an active area of research. It has several advantages but perhaps the most important one is providing medical benefits to one and all irrespective of geographic boundaries in a cost effective manner, providing global expertise and holistic services, in a time bound manner. This paper provides a systematic review of technological growth in eHealth services. The present study reviews and analyzes the role of four important technologies, namely, satellite, internet, mobile, and cloud for providing health services.

The process of medical diagnosis, like many other fields, has to pass through various stages of uncertainty, especially in cases where the data is mostly available in linguistic format. Under such circumstances of vague data, application of fuzzy logic concepts can play an important role in extracting approximate information which in turn may help in reaching to a particular diagnosis. The present study is devoted to the application of fuzzy logic rules for analyzing the psychology of adolescents with respect to Indian scenario. The objective here is to identify whether the subject requires counselling. Fuzzy logic approach is applied to Global Adjustment Scale, used by mental health clinicians to rate the general functioning of children under the age of 18.

Central giant cell granulomas (CGCG) constitute about 10% of benign jawbone lesions. Approximately one-third of CGCG exhibit local aggressive behavior with bone destruction and a tendency to recur.1 Jaffe (1953) was the first to distinguish central giant cell granulomas (CGCG) of the jawbones from other giant cell lesions of bones and originally called them“central giant cell reparative granulomas” since they were believed to be a reactive-reparative process that might heal spontaneously.1 Recently the World Health Organization has defined it as localized benign but sometimes aggressive osteolytic proliferation consisting of fibrous tissue with hemorrhage and haemosiderin depo­sits, presence of osteoclast-like giant cells and reactive bone formation. Many authors have established the differences with other lesions of giant cells. The clinical behavior of CGCG varies from a slowly asymptomatic swelling to an aggressive lesion that manifests with pain, cortical perforation, and root resorption.2 On the other hand the peripheral giant cell granuloma is a reactive exophytic lesion of the gingiva and alveolar ridge that usually occurs as a result of local irritating factors such as plaque, calculus, chronic infection, chronic irritation, tooth extraction, inproperly finished filling, unstable dental prosthesis, and impacted food which originates from the periosteium or periodontal ligament.
