Computational identification of MiRNA-7110 from pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) ESTs: a new microRNA that links diabetes and PAH

Osteoarthritis is one of the major problems that are faced by the people in developed countries but also present all over the world. There are so many factors that affect the cause of osteoarthritis, majorly it is found to be age, sex, occupation and much more. The increase in BMI can increase the probability of development of osteoarthritis. The study has been conducted among the Chennai population involving 100 participants. Self-administered questionnaire is circulated through online mode and the responses have been collected. It was observed that the majority of the people participated were aware of osteoarthritis and that obesity, heredity and age are the major cause of osteoarthritis of the knee joint. It is concluded that people though have awareness of osteoarthritis, the knowledge about the risk factors, the effects and future problems caused by knee joint osteoarthritis remains sparse among the population. the probable risk factors of knee osteoarthritis such as age, sedentary lifestyle and obesity, unhealthy diet and heredity seems to play a key role in knee OA and has to be considered seriously for the prevention and management of this disease. Upon considering these aspects people can have a good approach towards the disease and its management which serves as the basic requirement of proper lifestyle for betterment of life.

The term nano is derived from a Greek word ‘nannos’ which means dwarf. Nanotechnology is the science that deals with physical, chemical and biological properties of structures at the nanoscale. Nanotechnology is used in science, biotechnology, computer technology, electronics, agriculture, household as well as dentistry. Nanotechnology was used in dentistry in the early 1970s in microfilled composites comprising particles less than 100nm diameter. In recent times the composite particles are used that range from 20-600nm. In dentistry it is mainly used in restoration, orthodontic treatment and injecting local anesthesia and has many other uses. The main aim of nanotechnology in dentistry is to prevent any oral disease rather than treating it. The aim of the study is to evaluate the knowledge and attitude of UG dental students about nanotechnology in dentistry. A cross-sectional prospective survey was created in google docs with a questionnaire containing 15 questions, and the link was shared to 100 UG dental students. The results were analysed and represented as a pie chart and bar diagrams. Majority of (60%) of them were aware about nanotechnology, and few were not aware (40%). 46% of students were aware of the use of nanotechnology in dentistry, and 52% of participants felt it nanomaterials was not affordable. From the results obtained, the knowledge and attitude among Undergraduate dental students about nanotechnology in dentistry was found to be average.

Shoulder osteoarthritis can be defined as the disease in which the joint of the shoulders get worn down and makes movement very hard. It can be defined as the disease associated with age and genetic factors. This study was done to assess the association between age, exercise and work-related damage with shoulder osteoarthritis among middle-aged and old aged men and women. The study population consisted of 100 men and women of middle age group and old age group. A questionnaire was circulated online through the Google forms link, and the responses were recorded. The data was collected and was statistically analyzed in SPSS software. The results were represented in the form of pie charts and graphs. The association between age, exercise and work related damage with shoulder osteoarthritis among middle-aged and old-aged male and female population was analyzed. It was seen that only less than 60 percent of the population were aware of the term osteoarthritis. This survey can be used to diagnose and treat shoulder osteoarthritis at the earlier stages in an effective way.
