The World Health Organization has established the rationale of use of antibiotics as a priority in its campaign.9 Peri-operative antibiotic prophylaxis is safe and its effectiveness is proven.10,11 Inappropriate use of surgical antibiotic prophylaxis is common, e.g., incorrect timing, improper duration, and oral route of administration of antibiotics.12 The timing of first dose is very important7, and improper timing is one of the most common faults regarding surgical prophylaxis.13 The agent selected should be the one to which the expected organisms are highly sensitive14, and the dose should have large volume of distribution, lower toxicity, and longer half- life, allowing single dose administration. keywords: antibiotic; cholecystectomy; dose; group; infection; patients; prophylaxis; study; wound cache: jimdc-2.pdf plain text: jimdc-2.txt item: #77 of 404 id: jimdc-200 author: Arshad Khan, Saqib; Azam, Saima; Qureshi, Beenish title: Properties and Applications of Biodentine in Restorative Dentistry and Endodontics: A Review date: 2018-06-25 words: 3092 flesch: 46 summary: In a study done by Tanalp et al, the radiopacity of Biodentine was found to be lower than that of the other repair materials(MM-MTA, and MTA Angelus).27 Despite this, the reason for preferring zirconium oxide was due to its bioinertness and favorable mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.28 Biodentine as retrograde filling material In periradicular surgeries such as apicoectomy, the most important step is to create an adequate apical seal. They concluded that Biodentine exhibited considerable performance as a repair material even after being exposed to various endodontic irrigation solutions.26 Radiopacity, another important property for repair and retrograde filling materials, allows differentiation of the material from the surrounding tissues.8 Biodentine has zirconium oxide as a radio pacifier unlike bismuth oxide, which is preferred radiopacifier for other materials. keywords: biodentine; calcium; dentistry; filling; journal; material; mta; pulp; repair; strength cache: jimdc-200.pdf plain text: jimdc-200.txt item: #78 of 404 id: jimdc-201 author: Saqulain, Ghulam title: Lingual Thyroid Presenting as an Asymptomatic Pedunculated Oropharyngeal Mass date: 2018-06-25 words: 2354 flesch: 61 summary: Key Words: Ectopic thyroid, Lingual thyroid, Pedunculated mass Address of Correspondence Ghulam Saqulain Email: ghulam_saqulain@yahoo.com Article info.

Furthermore, the incidence of neurologic complications in Caries spine varies from 10% to 43%.5 The diagnosis of spinal tuberculosis is not easy and in almost all cases, the illness manifests in advanced stages.6 Conventional radiological imaging is noninvasive but it takes nearly three to four months for spinal tuberculous lesion to be evident on plain radiographs and unfortunately, more than 50% of the vertebra are destroyed before the formation of the lesions to be seen on a plain radiograph.7,8,9 The advent of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with reported sensitivity and specificity of 100% and 88.2% respectively, for Caries spine has revolutionized the diagnosis of the condition.10 It can identify the pathological lesions in the early stages of the disease, correctly demonstrate the extent of the disease involvement and can monitor the response to treatment. keywords: diagnosis; involvement; mri; patients; spinal; spine; study; tuberculosis cache: jimdc-61.pdf plain text: jimdc-61.txt item: #274 of 404 id: jimdc-615 author: Imran, Fareeha; Muna Malik; Amina Asif; Gulnaz Akhtar; Sidra Zaman; Asma Noveen Ajmal title: Changing Antimicrobial Susceptibility and Resistance Pattern of Acinetobacter Species over the Last Eight Years in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Lahore, Pakistan date: 2021-06-29 words: 3037 flesch: 50 summary: This is in concordance with this study, which shows Acinetobacter species infections on the rise over the past eight years, especially in the ICUs.

Multiple serum and urinary biomarkers are used to diagnose diabetic nephropathy before it is clinically evident.2 Urinary microalbumin has been used as a clinical biomarker of diabetic kidney disease since 1982.4 keywords: diabetes; microalbuminuria; nephropathy; urinary; urine cache: jimdc-73.pdf plain text: jimdc-73.txt item: #323 of 404 id: jimdc-731 author: Ifra Saeed; Arsalan Manzoor Mughal; Sidra Hamid; Tehmina Qamar; Ayesha Yousaf ; Aneela jamil title: Determination of Difficulty Index in End of Block Examinations of Preclinical Undergraduate Medical Students date: 2022-03-31 words: 2401 flesch: 59 summary: Anatomy is generally reported to be a difficult subject for undergraduate medical students.15 Areas such as Pelvis and Neuroanatomy are reported to be particularly challenging.16 Due to the extensive nature of the subject comprising of various domains such as Embryology, Histology, and Gross Anatomy, it is more extensive and complex for undergraduate medical students compared to the other two subjects.
