A bstract Introduction Dental caries is a significant global public health concern in children. Streptococcus mutans ( S. mutans ) has a significant role in the initiation and progression of dental caries. In Ayurveda, many plants are utilized to prevent caries. Licorice (mulethi), also known as Glycyrrhiza glabra and triphala are the major elements in Ayurveda with several medicinal properties. Triphala extract efficiently reduces the development of plaque on the tooth surface. Lollipops have the ability to self-clean and are effective saliva stimulators. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of licorice and triphala lollipops against S. mutans . Aim To compare and evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of licorice and triphala lollipops on S. mutans count in children aged 4–8 years. Materials and methods A total of three groups were made group I triphala, group II licorice, and group III placebo (sugar-free) lollipops. Children were screened at the baseline, and those who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the research after their parents submitted informed consent. Saliva samples were obtained in the early morning on an empty stomach. Then each child was offered a lollipop and saliva samples were carried out on all the follow-up days, that is, 7, 14, and 21. The palatability of lollipops among children was assessed by using a 5-point Likert scale. Results By using multiple comparisons—Tukey's test, statistically significant difference was found between the triphala lollipop and licorice group ( p = 0.0001), the triphala lollipop and placebo group ( p = 0.0001), and between the licorice lollipop and placebo group ( p = 0.0001) against S. mutans count. Conclusion Both licorice and triphala lollipops had an antimicrobial effect on S. mutans count. Licorice lollipops had an enhanced antimicrobial effect compared to triphala lollipops.

“…The posterior inferior cerebellar artery's choroidal branches typically supply fourth ventricule choroid plexus tumours. (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22) Most of the time, a vascular pedicle connects the tumours to the choroid plexus. While tumours of the third ventricle are generally linked to its roof, cancers of the lateral ventricles most frequently arise in the trigone region of the choroid plexus.…”

Choroid Plexus Papillomas (CPPs) is also known as benign but rare central nervous system(CNS) which affect the tufts of villi that make the ventricular system choroid plexus, which is responsible for production of cerebrospinal fluid(CSF). They make up between 0.5-1% in adult and 3-4% of paediatric group.Here we are introducing 11-year-old-female who visited with her parents in paediatric outpatient unit with the complaints of headache in the frontal region and backregion. She had 4-5 episodes of vomiting in previous week, she also developed the double vision since last 2 days. The patient underwent Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the brain and found the evidence of papilla enema in both eyes. Patient went to eye department for Vitreo-retained(VR) surgery. After that client was shifted to ward for the further management where she was administered the appropriate paediatric dose of antiedema and antiepileptic medication and other supportive measures. After treatment, the patient's condition was improved than before. Symptoms such as blurred vision relieved after surgery. These tumours rarely develop in children's third ventricles, fourth ventricles or CP angle.

“…Oxygen administration is given by CPAP to relieve breathing difficulty and Antitubercle is given to relieve cough. (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15) Fever was present in 17 cases, rales were present in 14, weight loss and appetite loss were present in 10 cases, and hepatosplenomegaly was present in 9 cases. Two instances had previously contracted the measles, and one of the patients had facial paralysis.…”

Background: Miliary tuberculosis is the widespread dissemination of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is the result of hematogenous dissemination and is characterized by extensive miliary mottling of lungs and involvement of the spleen, liver, and other tissues. It may be found as pulmonary type or septicemic type or meningitic type. Coarctation of the Aorta is a distinct narrowing or long segment hypoplasia of the aortic arch, usually distal to the subclavian artery. The narrow aortic lumen may exist as preductal or postductal obstruction which depends upon the position of the obstruction about the ductus arteriosus. The lesion obstructs blood flow through the aorta, resulting in increased pressure and effort of the left ventricle. Patient presentation: We are presenting an 8-year-old male child who visited the pediatric outpatient unit with the symptoms of fever, cough, and increased work of breathing, he was admitted to PICU. He was a known case of congenital heart disease. He was diagnosed to have congenital heart disease at the age of 3 years when he was admitted to the hospital due to the bluish coloration of his palms and soles. He had a fever (100 degrees F), cough, and increased work of breathing for 15 days during normal daily activities. The patient had undergone a 2-D Echo showing a parachute mitral valve. He was treated with antibiotics and maintained saturation on O2 by CPAP. Symptoms such as Respiratory distress and cough are relieved after maintaining saturation O2 and medications. Conclusion: Coarctation of the Aorta is typically present at birth (congenital heart defect). Mild to severe symptoms are possible. The illness might not be discovered until an adult. Coarctation of the Aorta frequently coexists with other congenital cardiac abnormalities. There are different methods employed for the treatment of CoA in adults, including surgical or percutaneous balloon angioplasty with or without stent placement, and medical therapy. Miliary Tuberculosis is one type of tuberculosis. This condition is rare in people with a normal immune system. It’s more common in people whose immune system isn’t working right. This is called being immunocompromised. Often your lungs, bone marrow, and liver are affected by miliary TB, but it can also spread to the lining of your heart, your spinal cord and brain, and other parts of your body. Treatment strategies in a patient with Miliary tuberculosis require the same treatment as Tuberculosis (Antibiotics).
