Background:Oral mucosal lesions that are observed in the dermatological diseases are categorized under mucocutaneous conditions. The oral lesions in dermatological diseases may be the early aspects of the disease manifestation or the most significant clinical appearance or the only sign/and or symptom of such dermatological diseases and occasionally lesions occur simultaneously in the skin as well as mucous membrane.Aim:This present study attempts to find out the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions in patients with dermatological diseases.Subjects and Methods:The study includes 3500 patients who attended out-patient Department of Dermatology. Patients with oral manifestation were subjected for clinical examination in the Department of Oral Pathology. Diagnostic procedures were performed to confirm the clinical oral diagnosis. The results of the study were analyzed by SPSS software version 19.0 (Armonk, NY) and presented as descriptive statistics. Correlation of oral manifestions with their respective dermatological disease was statistically analysed by Pearson's correlation test.(P < 0.05 were considered as statistically significant)Results:The prevalence rate of oral mucosal lesions in the present study was 1.8% (65/3500). The most frequent lesions observed were psoriasis 32.3% (21/65), lichen planus 18.4% (12/65), Stevens Johnson Syndrome 18.4% (12/65), pemphigus 10.7% (7/65), toxic epidermal necrolysis 4.6% (3/65), systemic lupus erythematosus 3% (2/65), discoid lupus erythematosus 1.5% (1/65), pemphigoid 1.5% (1/65). Gender distribution in the study population was statistically significant (P < 0.001). Employed and unemployed individuals in the study population were statistically significant (P < 0.001). Pearson's correlation analysis of oral manifestations with their respective dermatological disease showed r = 0.466 and signifies a positive correlation and is statistically significant at the 0.01 level (two-tailed).Conclusion:The prevalence rate of oral mucosal lesions in patients with dermatological diseases was relatively low. However, predominant oral mucosal lesions observed in the study were autoimmune in origin with a high morbidity and mortality index. Hence, multidisciplinary approach will definitely help in the prognosis of patients.
Background: India being a developing country, causes of Blindness in India will be different than developed countries. There are 10million (37 million in world) blind people in India today in which 80 percent if taken care in time, completely preventable. AIM: To evaluate sex predominance, prevalence of different types of lens induced Glaucoma and its visual outcomes in patients attending government general hospital, kadapa. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This prospective study was conducted in Ophthalmology department of government general hospital, kadapa, Andhra Pradesh from January 2018 to June 2019. 32 Patients visiting the Hospital with classical symptoms of Lens induced Glaucoma were taken into study. RESULTS: A Total of 32 patients were taken into this study in which 12(37.50%) were male patients and 20(62.50%) were Female. Among different LIG patients maximum patients had Phacomorphic Glaucoma accounting 62.50% (20 patients) and Phacolytic Glaucoma 34.37% (11 patients). Keywords: Lens-induced glaucoma, Cataract, Phacomorphic glaucoma, Phacolytic glaucoma and Small incision cataract surgery (SICS)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
