Pulp stones are seen to be a fairly common nding in most routine radiographs but they have been given relatively less attention in research as well as textbooks. New investigations have been done in abundance when it comes to their prevalence as well as etiological factors. Despite numerous studies, their formation still remains a riddle for endodontists and researchers alike. Historical perspective of pulp stones being an age dependent process are now being questioned as more studies report their prevalence in young population. This review article evaluates the recent studies pertaining to pulpal calcications where newer etiological factors as well as molecular factors have been highlighted in their formation. Their signicance has been largely studied correlating their occurrence with various other systemic calcications.

AbstractUltrasound elastography (USE) is becoming an important adjunct tool in the evaluation of various musculoskeletal (MSK) traumatic conditions and diseases, with an increasing number of applications and publications in recent years. This rapidly evolving technique enhances the conventional ultrasound (US) examination by providing information on the elastic properties of tissue alongside the morphological and vascular information obtained from B-mode US and Doppler imaging. Those performing USE must have basic knowledge of its proper imaging techniques and limitations. In this review article, we place the USE in historical perspective and discuss basic techniques and current applications of USE in the evaluation of various traumatic and pathologic conditions of fasciae, nerves, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and MSK soft tissue masses.

In the Ayurvedic classics, Kasa is considered as an independent disease. It may also occur as Lakshana (symptom) or Upadarava (complication) in other diseases. It is an example of Pranavaha Srotas Dushti. According to Acharya Charaka, the Moola of Pranavaha Srotas are Hridya (Brain, Heart) and Mahasro-tas. Acharyas have described definition, etiological factors, prodromal symptoms, symptoms, types of Kasa along with all Pathya (wholesome) & Apathya (unwholesome) and therapeutic measures. Kasa is manifested with the vitiation of Vata & Kapha. Understanding and differentiating Kasa is important for its effective treatment. The study of Kasa is necessary as it can be associated with many complications if left untreated. In this context different Lakshanas (symptoms) of Doshaja Kasa explained by Acharyas can be used for diagnosis as well as prognosis of the disease. Thus, with help of this study alternate safe methods of treatment can be employed. So, its identification as Doshaja Kasa can be a ray of hope for the diagno-sis.
