Candida infection (candidiasis) is potentially life threatening and can occur in almost all anatomical sites, including the mouth. Candida species are in fact the most common fungal pathogens isolated from the oral cavity and frequently cause superficial infections such as oral candidiasis and denture-associated erythematous stomatitis. Whilst syst

This paper presents the experimental results on the flow characteristics of a suddenly expanded flow from the convergent nozzle for subsonic flow. In the present study micro jets were used to investigate the effect of micro jets on wall pressure flow field in the enlarged duct. Accordingly an active control in the form of four micro jets of 1 mm or

This paper presents the results of experimental studies conducted to study the base pressure field from a convergent nozzle to ascertain the effect of micro jets, the length to diameter ratio, Mach number and area ratio in a suddenly expanded flow. The Mach numbers of the present study are 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 0.9, respectively. From the results

Pilomatrixoma is a benign tumour that originates from the matrix of the hair root. This rare tumour is usually managed by the dermatologists. The commonest location of this tumour is in the head and neck region; hence, it can be encountered by any doctors with interest in this area. When presented in the neck, this hard tumour may pose a diagnostic

Introduction: Microbial interactions have been found to be associated with the development of oral biofilms. Inter-kingdom co-aggregation within biofilms may be important in enhancing adherence, altering epithelial cytokines, which may ultimately be involved in carcinogenesis. Objective: Our aim was to determine co-aggregation of C. albicans (CA),

Post-traumatic parotid sialocoele is a subcutaneous extravasation of saliva from the parotid gland secondary to traumatic disruption of its duct or parenchyma. Currently, there is no consensus regarding the best therapy for parotid sialocoele, as it is resistant to conservative management. The present paper puts forward a relatively simple, safe an

A simple method for the production of zinc nanoparticles is described. Zinc nanoparticles were produced using Aspergillus niger and zinc sulfate. One at a time optimization method (OFAT) was used to determine microbe's biomass, salt concentration and temperature that will affect the zinc nanoparticles production. The zinc nanoparticles were par

Objective: Flexible airway endoscopy is used by both physicians and surgeons to assess the airway. We analyze the yield from a physician-surgeon combined-care diagnostic flexible airway endoscopy protocol in children. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 121 procedures in 109 patients over more than a five-year period in an academic tertiary referral
