Use of CBCTs : Endodontics for Predictable Management
The use of CBCT in endodontics and this diagnostic technique is increasingly required in order to have a more accurate prognosis of the teeth to be treated.CBCT has great potential to become a valuable tool for diagnosing and managing endodontic problems, as well as for assessing root fractures, apical periodontitis, resorptions, perforations, root canal anatomy and the nature of the alveolar bone topography around teeth Join us in this exclusive session with Dr Shaurya , Specialist Endodontist from King’s College London who will be discussing and demonstrating the diverse range of clinical applications for CBCT using clinical case studies.

Importance of Supplements for Bariatric Patients
Bariatric surgery alters the anatomy of the gastrointestinal tract, affecting nutrient absorption, making supplementation essential to prevent deficiencies and promote overall health. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies are common after bariatric surgery, with deficiencies in vitamins such as B12, D, and iron, as well as minerals like calcium and zinc, frequently observed. Multivitamin and mineral supplements formulated specifically for bariatric patients are often recommended to ensure adequate intake of essential nutrients. Protein supplements are crucial for bariatric patients to support wound healing, muscle preservation, and overall metabolic function. The type and dosage of supplements needed may vary depending on the type of bariatric surgery performed, individual patient factors, and dietary habits.
Nutrition and Impacts on Women Hormone Signaling
Nutrition plays a vital role in modulating hormone signaling pathways in women, influencing various physiological processes such as menstrual cycles, fertility, and menopause. Adequate intake of essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients, is crucial for maintaining hormonal balance and supporting reproductive health. Certain nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables, have been shown to positively impact hormone signaling and reduce inflammation in women. Imbalances in nutrient intake, such as excessive consumption of processed foods or inadequate intake of key nutrients, can disrupt hormone production and function, leading to hormonal imbalances and health issues. A diet rich in fiber from whole grains, fruits, and vegetables promotes healthy digestion and gut microbiota, which in turn can influence hormone metabolism and signaling. Phytoestrogens, plant-derived compounds with estrogen-like effects, found in soy products, flaxseeds, and legumes, can interact with hormone receptors and modulate estrogen levels in women.
Homeopathy in Breast Cancer
Homeopathy, a complementary therapy, is sometimes used alongside conventional treatments for breast cancer to manage symptoms such as pain, nausea, fatigue, and emotional distress. While research on its efficacy in treating cancer itself is limited, some patients find relief from side effects and support for their overall well-being through individualized homeopathic remedies. However, it's crucial for patients to consult with their oncologists and use homeopathy as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, rather than a standalone therapy, to ensure optimal care and safety.

The Future of Diabetes Care: Technological Advances
Diabetes significantly impacts kidney health, leading to a condition known as diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Individuals with diabetes are at higher risk of developing kidney complications, including nephropathy and kidney failure. Controlling blood sugar levels through proper medication and lifestyle management is crucial in preventing kidney damage. Regular monitoring of kidney function through urine and blood tests is essential for early detection of DKD. Lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy weight, following a balanced diet, and staying physically active can help mitigate the risk of kidney complications in diabetes. Hypertension management is imperative in diabetes to preserve kidney function and prevent further damage. Diabetic patients should prioritize annual comprehensive eye exams as diabetic retinopathy is often associated with kidney disease.
