Reject Analysis in Conventional Radiography

Abstract: Quality assurance in diagnostic radiology is of paramount importance to provide quality services leading to better diagnostic yield and thus accurate and timely treatment. Reject analysis study was done in conventional radiography to find out the incidence and the causative factors so that necessary steps be taken to avoid these factors resulting in less repetition of films thus reducing cost and unnecessary radiation to patients and personnel working in radiology department.

Managing prosthodontic (geriatric) patients during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic

Abstract: Since the beginning of this millennium, we are witnessing a surge in outbreaks across the globe. COVID-19 has been termed as the disease responsible for the current pandemic. The disease is caused by a beta coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 (2019)) and within a span of 6 months has affected more than 200 countries. The death toll of more than half a million people has particularly been severe on the geriatric population (65 years and older), especially those whose systemic status is compromised (existing comorbidities). Presently, only predictions are being made regarding the duration of this pandemic. Most gerodontic treatments are performed by prosthodontists. This review besides presenting an overview of the COVID-19 is also aimed to guide clinicians to develop a robust long-term approach to this crisis by overcoming the anxiety associated with COVID-19, identifying general and COVID-19-related limitations of gerodontic care, reorganizing clinical and academic practices with a new approach (important and urgent), and minimizing aerosol production during prosthodontic procedures. Novel psychosocial and ethical issues associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have also been addressed in brief. Academic and private clinical geriatric practice commencement has been discussed based on scientific facts. Limitations of this study being the highest level of unpredictability about the pandemic, which could end abruptly or may be a vaccine will be produced in which case everything may become null and void.
