THE RISING COST OF ORAL HEALTH CARE: ANALYSIS OF DENTAL MARKETRuby Med Plus
In India for the last 25 years, increased oral health care expenditure has emerged as most important concern raising questions on the optimal level of expenditure devoted to oral health care irrespective of age, income, region, caste, culture and so on. Oral health care expenditure is at much higher level know than it was in the past because of rise in tendency to use oral heath care resources as income of individuals rise, newer technology expands the treatment possibilities available to the population, keeps oral health care output rising, partly by aging population and reimbursement facilities available to the public by government, public and private sector undertakings.
Oral health care industry structure drives competition and profitability and it is not based on fact whether this sector is emerging or maturing, high tech or low tech, regulated or unregulated. The relationship between expenditure and benefit across most dental interventions is not clearly known and in many cases we do not know whether further expenditure represents good value to the money. Expenditure is simply price time’s quantity or volume of consumption. Most of the growth in oral health care expenditure is related to the large volume of health care delivery rather than price increase in dental materials. The growth is in the identification of the cost-effectiveness of oral heath care interventions, which relies on defining the benefits from individual dental treatments. Defining benefits, despite all the optimism generated by such outcome measures as quality adjusted life years (QALYs) remain in early stages of development. QALY is also a measure of oral health status, combined with quality of life and survival duration into an index that is frequently used to evaluate and analyze clinical decisions and provide a common unit of measurement that allows valid comparisons across alternative oral health care programs designed on fixed budgets.
The goal of Integrating HIV Innovative Practices (IHIP) is to enable health care providers to implement proven innovations in HIV care and services within their own practices. This Webinar is the second in a three-part series exploring innovative approaches to delivering oral health care and services to people living with HIV/AIDS, featuring grantees of the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS) Innovations in Oral Health Care Initiative (Oral Health Initiative).
This Webinar outlines dental case management programs at the AIDS Care Group (ACG) in Chester, PA and the Native American Health Center (NAHC) in San Francisco, CA. The presenters include Dr. Howell Strauss and Mr. Nelson Diaz from ACG; and Dr. Carolyn Brown and Ms. Lucy Wright, RDH, representing the NAHC. The presentation details the pros, cons, and considerations of dental case management from administrative and clinical perspectives. The presenters also provide tips for being a good dental case manager and how this can result in improved health outcomes.

Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

India Clinical Trials Market: Industry Size and Growth Trends [2030] Analyzed...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, "India Clinical Trials Market- By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F," the India Clinical Trials Market was valued at USD 2.05 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.64% through 2030. The market is driven by a variety of factors, making India an attractive destination for pharmaceutical companies and researchers. India's vast and diverse patient population, cost-effective operational environment, and a large pool of skilled medical professionals contribute significantly to the market's growth. Additionally, increasing government support in streamlining regulations and the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases further propel the clinical trials market.
Growing Prevalence of Lifestyle Diseases
The rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer is a major trend driving the clinical trials market in India. These conditions necessitate the development and testing of new treatment methods, creating a robust demand for clinical trials. The increasing burden of these diseases highlights the need for innovative therapies and underscores the importance of India as a key player in global clinical research.
