“…An increase in the proportion of relapse cases registration under RNTCP after its nationwide implementation in India has been clearly observed. 10,11 The proportion of TAD cases was comparable to other studies done in India which reported that 25% -27% of re-treatment TB cases were TAD cases.…”

“…2,10,14 There was one study from West Bengal, India, which reported 22.2% as failure cases among total re-treatment TB cases. 11 The reason for the high proportion of failure cases in Pondicherry may be due to high prevalence of alcohol usage (59%) among TB patients which is consider as important cause for nonadherence to TB treatment.…”

“…15 The present study also shows that the proportion of re-treatment patients who were registered as "others" (11.5%) was almost three times lower compared to the other studies from India. 2,10 probably, these cases are being managed in one of the many medical colleges of Pondicherry which are easily accessible to the people.…”

Background: Re-treatment TB cases are still a big challenge to National TB control programme. The objectives of the study were among retreatment TB cases, to study the source of previous anti-TB treatment, to find the time delays in initiating re-treatment and to find the risk factors for initiating retreatment under Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program (RNTCP) in Pondicherry.Methods: It was a cross sectional study. Source, date of completion or interruption of recent previous anti-TB treatment, missed doses, DM status; smoking and alcohol intake in the past TB treatment were collected using pretested structured questionnaire and available records. Data was entered in EpiData software version 3.1 and analysed using SPSS v20.Results: Of 241 re-treatment TB patients, the proportion of relapse, TAD, failure and others were 52%, 24%, 12.4% and 11.6 respectively. About 90% [95% CI (85.6-93.2)] had received their recent previous anti-TB treatment from RNTCP sources. In multivariate analysis, Age >24 years, below secondary level of education and relapse cases have independently associated with RNTCP source of previous TB treatment. The median time interval of re-registration for relapse, TAD, failure and others were 334, 211, 140 and 53 days respectively. This difference between groups are statistically significant (p<0.0001). Almost one out of four retreatment TB patient was known diabetic. More than half of retreatment TB patients had consumed alcohol during their recent previous TB treatment.Conclusions: The public-private partnership is better in Pondicherry as only 10% of re-treatment TB cases were previously treated from Non-RNTCP sources. There is a scope for reducing the time between declaration of failure and initiation of re-treatment TB regimen. Screening and appropriate counselling of all registered TB patients for smoking and alcohol intake may be necessary.

“…6 In an earlier study conducted by Sarpal SS et al the mean age of the patients in category II was 35±15.4years. 7 Males 67 (75.28%) outnumbered females 22 (24.72%) in this study. Similar trends have been observed by Jha et al with 1198 (70%) males and 514 (30%) females in the study on retreatment TB cases.…”

Background: Tuberculosis is a social disease with medical aspect. It has also been described as barometer of social welfare. India is the second-most populous country in the world. One fourth of the global incident TB cases occur in India annually. Various social and demographic factors are variably related to poor adherence. Methods: A longitudinal study was designed and all category II TB patients registered for DOTS treatment during period from July 2014 to December 2014 (2 Quarter), of corporation area in tuberculosis register of district TB centre were included in present study. Considering exclusion criteria total 89 patients were studied in present study. Results: Out of 89 patients mean age (+SD) of the patients were 38±16.1 years , 75.28% were male, 40.45% were labourers, 29.31% patients were illiterate, over all treatment success is 59 (66.29%). Out of 63 literate patients, 79.36% patients were successfully treated, while Among 26 illiterate patients, only 34.61% patients were successfully treated. Treatment outcome lower class (Modified B.G. Prasad classification class IV and class V) having only 53.70% treatment success rate. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that improvement in quality of life is necessary for better outcome. Future programme or research should focus on improvement of quality of life as well as reducing the duration of treatment for better compliance with.

“…A study [14] also commented that the precision of DMLS is revolutionary with the possibility of creating complicated shapes and geometries with thin sections in a range from 0.02 to 0.03 mm such as required for orthodontics [17, 18], removable partial dentures, maxillofacial prosthesis [19, 20], and intraoral sleep apnoea devices [21]. In addition, many other studies suggested this technique showed great promise as an alternative to the conventional casting technique [7, 12, 22, 23].…”

Background and Aims. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) procedures on the overall fit of metal copings. Materials and Methods. A standardized die was made in die stone of an upper right molar prepared for a full crown. The die was digitalized by an Identica Blue Light Scanner, and the coping substructure was designed using CAD software. Ten milled specimens and ten laser-sintered specimens were manufactured by Renishaw plc based on the generated file by the software. All twenty copings were digitized by the Identica scanner, and the data were superimposed with the original premanufacturing data file of the prepared full crown. Using the Geometric Modelling Library (GML) package, the fit discrepancies were displayed as colour maps showing discrepancies in three dimensions. Each map was made up of thousands of data points carrying numerical error values allowing detailed analyses. Results. The milled group displayed a mean of fit discrepancies of 42.20 μm (SD 3.04 μm), while the laser-sintered group showed a mean of 42.24 μm fit discrepancies (SD 2.94 μm). Thus, a small difference of 0.04 μm between the two groups was detected. Conclusions. The evaluated manufacturing systems can be used in dental practice as a small and insignificant discrepancy of fit between the two manufacturing methods was detected.
