This was the first randomized, controlled trial that demonstrated the strong short-term immunogenicity of a new, accelerated, 1-week JE-regimen, which was noninferior to that of the standard regimen, with a satisfactory tolerability and safety profile and no impact of concomitant rabies vaccination. This accelerated regimen, if licensed, could potentially be a valid alternative for individuals requiring a primary series of JE vaccination and rabies pre-exposure prophylaxis on short notice.

Introduction:The pain is a modality of sensation given to the mankind as blessing, because unless pain is felt the person will not consult the doctor and the pathology may go un-noticed. The small fusiform plantaris muscle, with its long slender tendon, is of great importance from anatomical and from the surgical aspect. The plantaris muscle and its tendon are subject to considerable variation in both the points of origin and insertion.

ABSTRACT:The basilar process of occipital bone is formed by fusion of the first three primitive vertebrae (or occipitoblasts), the most caudal of which is so-called occipital vertebra or pro-atlas. The failure of distal occipitoblasts to fuse with others gives rise to abnormal bone formations on the external surface of skull around foramen magnum, phenomenon called as "manifestation of occipital vertebra". Bone anomalies related to failure of segmentation of the most caudal occipital sclerotomes are rare, but have been identified. The anomaly leads to abnormal bone formation in the region of anterior rim of foramen magnum, either in the midline and or laterally. The anomaly has been occasionally referred to as third condyle, remanants of occipital vertebra, un-formed bone masses on the anterior rim of foramen magnum and prebasi-occipital arch in combination with an odontoid bone. The basiocciput of 100 Indian adult human skulls were examined for the presence of precondylar tubercles, which are single or paired osseous formations anterior to the occipital condyles and foramen magnum. Out of these 100 skulls, one skull displayed unilateral tubercle and the other bilateral tubercles.

Dental anxiety (DA) is a common problem; the latest Adult Dental Health Survey (UK) reported nearly half of the adult population experienced anxiety when visiting the dentist. Given individual differences in the experience of dental anxiety, it is important for the dentist to understand its development, detection and management. This article aims to provide an overview of the main psychological theories to explain the development of dental anxiety (behavioural, psychoanalytical and cognitive), as well as an overview of anxiety detection and management techniques from a psychological perspective. Clinical relevance: Dental anxiety is a common barrier to oral healthcare, with nearly half of the UK population affected. By understanding its causes, effective management can reduce anxiety, and therefore barriers to achieving high standards of oral health can be overcome.
