Globally the major cause of cancer associated death among women is breast cancer. Reports showed that all over world approximately 1.15 million women are affected by breast cancer. Lack of awareness and late diagnosis are the prime reasons behind the raising mortality associated with breast cancer. Breast cancer is becoming the principal cause of mortality worldwide and has greater impact in developing countries. The aim of the present study is to access the knowledge and awareness on risk factors of breast cancers among homemakers. About 150 participants were involved in the study. Self-administered questionnaire of close ended questions was prepared related to risk factors, symptoms, diagnostic modalities, prevention and treatment of breast cancer and distributed among homemakers through online survey forms. In the present study about 62.7% were aware of risk factors of breast cancer and 37.3% were not aware. Regarding the information source of breast cancer risk factors, most of the participants (43.3%) responded to from school or college education. The majority of the participants (60.7%) were aware that breast cancer is among the most prevailing cancers among women. Regarding the risk factors of breast cancer, 36% responded to obesity,10% responded to advanced age and 54% responded to family history of breast cancer. The majority of the participants (56.7%) responded age as a major risk factor. In the present study, knowledge and awareness on the breast cancer, risk factors among homemakers is moderate.

Periodontitis is one of the most common oral diseases in the world. Periodontitis when diagnosed early have the better prognosis for the individual to save the tooth. Diagnostic markers are useful to indicate the presence of a disease process before excessive clinical damage occurs. One such main source of biomarker is gingival crevicular fluid. This review article deals with Gingival crevicular fluid(GCF) as a source of biomarkers for periodontal disease progression and severity which helps in diagnosis and prognosis in the field of Periodontology and also details about available various chairside diagnostic kits for the biomarkers.
