Background:  Beverage consumption is considered as one of the important risk factors for dental erosion.The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the enamel dissolution potentials of commercially available beverages through pH analysis and quantification of calcium ions released. Materials and Methods:- Four commercially available beverages, Green tea (TETLEY LTD), Red bull energy drink (RAUCH FRUCHTSAFTE, GMBH&CO OG, UAE), Real mixed fruit juice (real fruit power ltd, DABUR), Appy fizz (PARLE AGRO) were used to analyse pH and calcium ions released through two independent phases. 24 enamel specimens were prepared from 12 healthy human molars. pH analysis was done with pH meter and calcium analysis was measured by using colorimetry and spectrophotometry. Statistical analysis was carried out by using tests of descriptive statistics, paired t test for intra group comparisons and One way ANOVA with Post Hoc tukey test for intergroup comparisons. Results: Mixed fruit juice had shown highest acidic potential while Green tea had shown lowest acidic potential.                Red Bull had shown highest dissolution potential while green tea had shown lowest dissolution potential. Conclusion: Dental erosion is influenced by the pH of the beverages and calcium dissolution of the tooth. Red bull has shown highest erosion potential. Even though green tea with an high acidic pH did not show any considerable erosion potential.. Key words: Dental erosion, pH of beverages, dissolution potential of beverages

Objective: To determine the consequences of energy drink (Red bull) on renal mesangium of albino rats.Materials and Methods: This study was carried out at the Anatomy Department of King Edward Medical University, Lahore, from August 2018 to December 2019. It was an experimental randomized controlled trial. Total 90 adult albino male rats, 8-12 weeks old, weighing 130 to 160 grams were taken. Healthy animals were included. Rats were divided into three groups Group A and B experimental groups received 1.5ml/kg and 2.2ml/kg body weight of red bull energy drink, respectively. Group C received 1ml/kg body weight of distilled water.Results: The mean initial and final weight of animals was around 150g and 170g, respectively. The mean paired kidney weight and relative tissue weight index for all three groups were found insignificant. Microscopic examination showed mesangial hypercellularity and vascular congestion in renal cortex of groups A and B, none in group C. These were significant among two experimental groups with a p-value less than 0.001.Conclusion: It was found that the use of energy drinks induces histopathological changes in the renal mesangium.

Two recent publications demonstrated that specifically designed essential odor inhalers can enhance performance through (a) better selective attention and scanning speed and (b) physiological changes of increased heart rate variability and blood oxygenation. In this study, we compared two natural odor inhalers with a popular energy drink (Red Bull®) with regard to their ability to improve vigilance on a computerized attention test. We employed a four-armed, randomized controlled experimental design and used a modified version of the CompACT-Vi test module to investigate whether deep inhalations of essential oil scents improved vigilance. Both inhalers markedly improved the number of correctly identified targets and participants’ reaction time when compared to a control condition and consumption of Red Bull® (0.9 < d < 1.3). Additionally, the number of correctly solved mathematical sums during the second half of the vigilance test was substantially higher (d = 1.3) with the use of inhalers than for the control and Red Bull participants. Inhaler use was also associated with relatively increased heart rate variability (d = 1.0) as a mechanism of adapting to the experimental demands. Thus, short and deep inhalations of essential oil scents delivered directly to the nose improved vigilance, while a popular energy drink failed to show an effect beyond that of a control group receiving no stimulant.
