“…There is increasing consensus in the literature around the management of high risk and minimally invasive procedures, however, the evidence base is limited for procedures in between these two extremes. Published literature has not taken into account the evolving developments in dental practice, such as the use of lasers, that might contribute to decreased risk of bleeding , nor has our risk assessment tool taken account of the use of other local haemostatic measures such as fibrin glue and oral splints .…”

“…In 1990, Chellappah and Loh 35 published a case report describing a hemophilic patient with acute pericoronitis. The operculum associated with an erupting molar tooth was excised using a CO 2 laser.…”

“…35 In the study of Rasaratnam et al, 23 in which they discussed the risk-based management of dental procedures in patients with inherent bleeding disorder, they pointed out that the literature has not taken into account the evolving developments in dental practice, such as the use of lasers, which might contribute to reducing the risk of bleeding. 23,35 That could have occurred because of the lack of information in the literature about high-power laser in this field. The present double-blind study showed that diode laser could induce immediate hemostasis in anticoagulated rats subjected to oral soft tissue surgery.…”

Immediate laser-induced hemostasis in anticoagulated rats subjected to oral soft tissue surgery: a double-blind study

Given the growing trend towards medical indications for continuous use of anticoagulants, the number of patients on these medications continues to rise. The management of patients on oral anticoagulants requiring oral surgical procedures has aroused much controversy. Changes in an anticoagulation regimen are associated with an increased risk of thromboembolism. However, it seems logical and advantageous for the patients' health if surgery could be performed without any change to the anticoagulation therapy. In dentistry, high-power lasers have been poorly explored in this field. The hemostatic properties of high-power lasers could be helpful during oral soft tissue surgeries in anticoagulated patients. The aim of this study was to compare bleeding time in anticoagulated rats after lingual frenectomy performed with a scalpel or diode laser with bleeding time in healthy animals. Twenty-four male Wistar rats were assigned to four groups (n = 6): (CS) Control-Scalpel Surgery; (AS) Anticoagulated-Scalpel Surgery; (CL) Control-Laser (diode laser 810 nm/1.5 W) Surgery; and (AL) Anticoagulated-Laser Surgery (diode laser 810 nm/1.5 W). Warfarin administration was used to induce anticoagulation. Blood was blotted every 30 seconds with filter paper until bleeding stopped to verify bleeding time. Two blinded researchers performed the surgeries and collected the bleeding time data. Diode laser surgery led to complete hemostasis in rats during and after lingual frenectomy. Zero bleeding was assessed during surgeries and after diode laser surgeries in anticoagulated rats. Laser-induced hemostasis offered an alternative solution to the controversial issue of intraoperative and postoperative bleeding control in patients on anticoagulation therapy.

“…There was a dramatic increase in the incidence of venereal disease and prostitution as servicemen sought sex. 54 Australians on visits to Colombo demonstrated the exuberance for which they were renowned at ports throughout the world, though it was African troops that caused most friction. In September East African troops stationed at Kiribathgoda allegedly shot and wounded some Sinhalese women.…”

`Defend Lanka Your Home': War on the Home Front in Ceylon, 1939—1945

In December 1941, Ceylon was transformed from a backwater into a key Allied military base when Japan went to war, though its wartime significance is largely unknown. The nature of the changes visited upon the island, and the manner in which an apparently insignificant colonial home front contributed tellingly to the strategic prosecution of the war, is the subject of this article. Several key themes are examined: the strategic importance of the Indian Ocean and Ceylon; the transformation of Ceylon's physical infrastructure as it became a military encampment; the work of Ceylonese-led departments of state in bringing the island to war readiness; the dire food situation caused by the Japanese conquest of import-supplying countries; propaganda and public information drives aimed at ensuring local participation in the war effort; the recruitment of indigenous labour for war-related tasks; unrest caused by the influx of thousands of foreign soldiers and provisions made for their welfare; and the role played by the media in conveying war information and propaganda. The article concludes with an assessment of the intimate links between Ceylon's war experience and the coming of national independence in 1948.
