Tooth loss may affect the dietary patterns, phonetics, appearance, and lifestyle of affected individuals. Therefore, patients require the replacement of missing teeth to allow adequate function, appearance, and psychological wellbeing. However, the replacement of missing teeth in patients at the transitional stage from the natural to the artificial dentition can pose a significant challenge to a clinician. This case describes the management of a patient with an ill-fitting upper complete denture, which rested on an anterior fibrous edentulous maxilla, opposing a partially dentate mandible. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Selection of the optimum treatment option available to manage a patient with an anterior fibrous edentulous maxilla opposed by a partially dentate mandible is important.

Background: Environmental stress and transition period in buffaloes imposes significant changes in hemato-biochemical parameters. On this background the present study was attempted to evaluate biochemical parameters in transition buffaloes during summer and winter seasons. Methods: Thirty six advanced pregnant and non-pregnant Murrah buffaloes of around 5 years of age were randomly selected. Whole blood was collected from twelve buffaloes each in their transition period during winter and summer season for a period of five weeks and six non pregnant buffaloes for each season served as control. Haematological, biochemical parameters were estimated and THI was calculated in both the seasons. Result: The mean THI, TEC, Hb, MCH, MCHC, SOD activity and MDA levels were significantly higher (p<0.05) in summer compared to winter, while MCV and GSH activity was significantly higher (p<0.05) in winter compared to summer. No significant (p>0.05) difference between seasons was observed with respect to TLC, monocyte and lymphocyte per cent. Moreover, Hb, SOD, GSH and MDA concentration differed significantly (p<0.05) throughout the transition period during summer and winter seasons, while TEC, MCV, MCH and MCV concentration did not change (p>0.05) with transition period in both the seasons. The present study indicated that summer season had profound effect on hemato-biochemical parameters. While SOD, GSH and MDA could be used as markers of transitional stress in Murrah buffaloes.

The research aims to study the Perceived consumer and CSR initiation taken by the organization and their influences on Brand loyalty. The study combines Carroll's CSR pyramid theory and Ovidiu's brand loyalty multidimensional model. To test the relationship between CSR and brand loyalty, especially the research intended to test the two-dimension legal and ethical aspects of Carroll's model out of four which represents the consumer perceived CSR, with the SEM method, the relationship between CSR and brand loyalty is tested. The study did two things: reviewed the FMCG initiative taken by top FMCG. And then adopted purposive sampling of 10 Indian-listed FMCG sectors and collected data through an online Google survey during the pandemic period from September 2020 to May 2021; the study got 450 valid responses. The role of corporate social responsibility creates brand loyalty is confirmed. Research also found that consumers are more attracted to the legal and ethical responsibility of the organization. The research implies a marketing strategy for gaining brand loyalty. The findings project that event marketing, media marketing, and customer loyalty programs can create more effective CSR programs, and greater satisfaction with a product will make repeated purchase behaviour among customers.

The fabrication of the green strategy of metallic oxide creation provides considerable profits via a minimum of effort, making it an acceptable substitute to the most laborious and challenging conventional processes. The suggested approach involved the creation of titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) nanoparticles through Orthosiphon stamineus extracts of leaves. The synthesized nanoparticles (NPs) were then characterized using XRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM with EDX, and UV-visible spectroscopy. UV-visible spectroscopy validated the presence of optical imperfections in the TiO 2 NPs at frequencies of 286 nm. This research specifically focused on examining the photodecomposition and germicidal traits of NPs. Initiatives aimed must be made to mitigate the hazardous effects of TiO 2 NPs in an ecologically sensitive way throughout their production. Exposing the dye methylene blue (MB), a major water polluting produced by garment manufacturing, to TiO 2 NPs resulted in a considerable increase in photodecomposition efficiency. The photodecomposition process exhibited a rate of breakdown of 83%. The findings indicate that the diameter inhibition zone exhibits the most potent resistance versus pathogenic microorganisms. These results have led to the identification of a long-term, sustainable, and ecologically beneficial solution for removing pollutants from water and biological properties., (© 2024 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.)
