“…Management of PWS requires multidisciplinary care team that includes combination of behavioral therapy, diet managements, speech therapy, exercises and medications. 18 We provide relevant supportive care to the patient. Early diagnosis and intervention allow implementation of reasonable nutrition and physiotherapy programs to prevent obesity and improve motor milestones, decreased resting heart rate, improved aerobic capacity and decreased both body fat and body weight.…”

Prader Willi Syndrome (PWS) is one of the most common genetic condition of childhood morbid obesity. Absence of expression of the paternally active genes on the long arm of chromosome 15 is responsible for this syndrome. A 4-year-old girl, presented with excessive weight gain since early infancy. She has developmental delay, mental retardation and Her physical features were suggestive of Prader-Willi syndrome. MS PCR detected deletion of the specific chromosomal region 15q11.2-q13 in the paternal allele which is causative of Prader-Willi syndrome. The syndrome has no cure but multidisciplinary approaches are available to improve associated problems. We confirm the case of Prader Willi Syndrome by genetic analysis, which is important for those who present with obesity and mental retardation. Bangladesh Medical Res Counc Bull 2022; 48(3): 244-248

“…Scoliosis, hypopigmentation of skin and hair, juvenile diabetes, narrow forehead, sleep apnoea (because of obesity), delayed healing, small hands and feet and self inflicted injuries are some of the other characteristic features of this syndrome. 1,2 The worldwide incidence is between 1:15000 and 1:50000. It usually affects both males and females equally with a large preponderance for boys.…”

Periodontal disease is the destruction of all portions of periodontium. However, only periodontitis, based on whether attachment loss has occurred, can be detected in archaeological material. Therefore, several methods have been used to assess the frequency of periodontitis in past populations. The main scope of this study is to determine whether diagnoses of periodontitis through various methods are consistent with diagnoses obtained using the radiographic method. The samples (35 individuals, 576 teeth) were selected from Radom Cemetery's collection (in use between 1790 and 1811). For each individual, a periodontal status assessment was made using the following parameters: (i) measuring the distance between the cement-enamel junction (CEJ) and the crest of the alveolar bone (AC); (ii) the degree of root exposure; (iii) presence of the inter-dental septum; (iv) dental calculus; (v) scoring system on the texture of the alveolar bone (Kerr's method) and (vi) radiography.In the studies, a correlation was found between the radiographic images and Kerr's method (r = 0.92) and root furcation (r = 0.96). Increasing degree of change on the alveolar bone is connected with increases in the CEJ-AC distance. A relationship between the frequency of the prevalence of dental calculus and changes on the alveolar bone was found. It means that the radiographic method, which is not always possible to use in archaeological collections, can be replaced by the presented macroscopic methods.
