When babies are born, they already have most of their teeth under their gums. The first tooth usually begins to erupt by the age of six months, although the exact age can vary from one baby to another. The first two teeth to come in are usually in the bottom middle, followed by the four in the upper middle. Most children have a complete set of 20 baby teeth by the time they turn 3.
Some children do not get their teeth at the same time as their peers. This can be caused by several factors. If a child does not have any teeth by the age of 18 months, he or she should be taken to a pediatric dentist for an evaluation.Brushing your teeth

ABSTRACT
A Quasi experimental study to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programe on knowledge regarding Breast Cancer among selected students of Rajkiya Kanya Mahavidyalaya College, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh.
Introduction: - Breast cancer is one of the most common Second types of cancer in India. In 2024, the estimated number of Breast cancer cases in Himachal Pradesh is 9,566. Breast Cancer is the second most common cancer among women in Himachal Pradesh also. The Indira Gandhi Medical College (IGMC) in Shimla reports an estimated 220 and 250 new Breast Cancer cases each year. The Theog region has the highest number of breast cancer cases across all age groups, especially for those aged 38 and older. The Rampur, Jubbal, and Kotkhai regions also have high incidences of breast cancer, particularly in the middle to older age groups.
Aim: - The aim of the study is to assess the knowledge regarding Breast Cancer among selected students of Rajkiya kanya Mahavidyalaya college, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh.
Methodology: - A Quantitative research approach with Quasi-experimental study (one group pre-test post-test design only) used for the study. The sample size will be 126 for final study and its 10% i.e.12 for pilot study. Purposive sampling technique will be used to select the sample. Pilot study will be done in Centre of Excellence Government College Sanjauli, Shimla-6, Himachal Pradesh and final study will be conducted in Rajkiya Kanya Mahavidyalaya College, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. Data analysis will be planned with descriptive and inferential statistics.
Key Words: - Assess, Effectiveness, Structured Teaching Programme, Knowledge, Breast Cancer, Students, Rajkiya Kanya Mahavidyalaya College Shimla.
NEED
As per research early detection can save patient life. If this cannot be identified earlier, then this may cause serious illness or even death. Students must be necessary that they should have knowledge regarding Breast cancer. Thats why researcher want to conduct the study on college students to improve the knowledge related to Breast Cancer.
By going through all the review of literature related to knowledge regarding Breast cancer that the students having inadequate knowledge regarding Breast cancer. Further no study was found on knowledge regarding Breast cancer among college students in Shimla Himachal Pradesh.
So, the researcher wants to conduct research on it to enhance the knowledge of students to achieve an optimum level for patients quality of life.
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

Soft Tissue Injury/Handling in orthopedics.Dr. Prabhat Pandey
油
This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of soft tissue injuries commonly encountered in orthopedic practice. It covers the classification, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnostic approaches, and evidence-based management strategies for various soft tissue injuries, including compartment syndrome, fracture blisters, open fracture, Morel-Lavall辿e lesion etc .The content is designed to support medical students, orthopedic trainees, physiotherapists, and healthcare professionals in understanding the mechanisms of injury, treatment principles such as RICE and the importance of prevention in clinical practice.
In orthopedic trauma care, soft tissue management is as vital as the management of the skeletal injury itself. Often overshadowed by the dramatic presentation of fractures, soft tissue injuries profoundly influence prognosis, healing capacity, and surgical decision-making. As eloquently expressed by Gathorne Girdlestone:
Fracture is an injury to soft tissues in which you shall also find a broken bone.
The vascular and biological integrity of the soft tissue envelope determines whether the fracture site heals naturally, requires surgical intervention, or develops complications like infection, non-union, or necrosis. This presentation explores not only the pathophysiology and classifications of soft tissue injuries but also offers a practical assessment and management framework for clinicians.
A fracture is not just a bony eventit almost always represents underlying soft tissue trauma. The "zone of injury" around any fracture must be respected. This area often contains:
Muscle necrosis
Damaged microvasculature
Hidden contamination
Partial tendon tears or ligamentous damage
Neglecting this can lead to:
Infection
Nonunion
Soft tissue contracture
Compartment syndrome
Understanding this biomechanical interplay is crucial for interpreting injury severity, estimating healing potential, and customizing treatment plans. High-energy trauma such as RTAs or gunshot wounds causes widespread damage beyond what is visible, including deep muscular necrosis and occult vascular compromise.
The bone cannot heal in isolation. As the presentation emphasizes, soft tissue is the biological foundation upon which successful orthopedic outcomes rest. Whether in a rural trauma setting or a tertiary care surgical suite, meticulous attention to soft tissue injury:
Improves healing timelines
Reduces complication rates
Enhances functional outcomes
Saves limbsand sometimes lives
Soft tissue status is often the limiting factor in fracture healing.
Proper classification guides decision-making and prognosis.
Compartment syndrome is a limb-threatening emergency; recognize early!
Open fractures require urgent debridement and stabilization.
Use objective tools (e.g., MESS, GHOIS) for complex limb injuries.
Never underestimate edema or fracture blistersthey signal deeper damage.
Soft tissue management is not ancillary; it is fundamental.Acetabular Labral Tears: Anatomy, Diagnosis, and Management
Acetabular Labral Tears: Anatomy, Diagnosis, and ManagementDr. Prabhat Pandey
油
This detailed presentation by Dr. Prabhat Pandey (DNB Resident, Tata Main Hospital, Jamshedpur) provides a comprehensive overview of acetabular labral tears, covering their anatomical, biomechanical, and clinical implications. Beginning with the anatomy of the acetabular labruma fibrocartilaginous structure critical for hip joint stabilitythe presentation explains how its vascular and neural distribution contributes to both pain and poor healing potential when torn.
The pathophysiology of labral tears is discussed in the context of altered joint mechanics, loss of the labral seal, increased cartilage stress, and subsequent joint degeneration. The presentation classifies labral tears based on location, morphology, and etiology, highlighting causes such as trauma, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), and biomechanical imbalances.
Key clinical features are outlined, including chronic anterior hip or groin pain, mechanical symptoms like clicking and locking, and delayed diagnosisespecially in athletes and women. Diagnostic strategies include physical tests (e.g., FABER, McCarthy test, anterior impingement test), imaging (X-ray, CT, MRI, and MR arthrography), and diagnostic injections.
Management strategies range from conservative treatmentrest, anti-inflammatory drugs, and physiotherapyto surgical options, such as arthroscopic debridement and microfracture techniques. Postoperative rehabilitation focuses on early mobilization, DVT prophylaxis, and gradual return to function, tailored to reduce recurrence and promote joint preservation.
This presentation is an excellent educational resource for orthopedic residents, sports medicine practitioners, physiotherapists, and clinicians managing hip pathologies.Congenital Vertical Talus: Clinical Presentation, Imaging, Etiology, and Mult...
