Low Functional health literacy is a problem affecting 90 million residents of the United States. Among the 90 million, 36% are adults who have “below basic” health literacy skills. Assessing health literacy is important in improving health behaviors, health outcomes, and perceived communication barriers related to health. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act enacted in 2010 brought about changes that demand a more coordinated approach to manage health care services. This research focused on the efforts being made to promote health literacy at Medicaid health homes such as Greater Buffalo United Accountable Healthcare Network (GBUAHN). This research consisted of observation of Patient Health Navigator interactions with patients in order to identify best practices of health literacy initiatives within GBUAHN. Results suggest best practices include promoting and establishing relationship to effectively enhance patients understanding of all their healthcare needs. This study suggests that GBUAHN should continue making use of recommendations related health literacy promotion while exploring areas of improvement as noted on scorecard. Patient Health Navigators are engaging patient in manner that will establish adherence within patients.

Acne vulgaris is a common chronic skin disease involving blockage and/or inflammation of pilosebaceous units. Acne can present as non-inflammatory lesions, inflammatory lesions, or a mixture of both, affecting mostly the face but also the back and chest. Variable rates of relapse after oral isotretinoin treatment have been published. This could be explained by different reasons; one of them is the lack of consensus about the definition of acne relapse after treatment. The objective of this review is to summarize all the different defi nitions of acne relapse proposed in the literature, in order to fi nd a more reproducible and consistent characterization. This may become a useful tool that allows to compare the results obtained in future studies performed on acne relapses. As acne vulgaris is a dynamic entity that is notoriously difficult to assess over time, quantitative scales would be more indicated to evaluate its severity. In addition, the relapses after treatment are in correlation with the maintenance treatment phase. In this review, we also discuss the concepts of acute and maintenance phase of acne treatment. As the maintenance phase of treatment is a more recent concept, we consider necessary to review the features of this phase such as implantation time, treatment type, duration and efficacy. More studies, with a standardized relapse defi nition, are needed in order to determine effi cacy rates and optimal duration of this phase. In conclusion, this review aims to highlight the need for a valid and reliable defi nition of acne relapse, especially for its use in research, but also highly valuable in daily clinical practice.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Condition that make patient seeks dental treatment it is recorded
in patient own words as much as possible.
It is the answer for the question “why are you here today?”
Also called presenting complain or complaining of.
if pain is the C/C then we should take HPI (history of present
illness).
10. MEDICAL HISTORY
Information about general body health
• C.N.S
• Growth and development.
• Endocrine system.
• C.V.S.
• Respiratory system.
• G.I.T. system.
• Allergies.
• Medications.
• Hospitalization.
11. If no medical problem is present then we elicited that there is no sign and
symptoms of any systemic disease.
• Symptoms: it is the subjective evidence of a disease perceived by the
patient.
• Sign: it is the objective evidence of a disease elicited by the clinician.

19. Tooth Numbering Systems
tooth designation systems in general use are
Universal, adopted by the American Dental Association
F.D.I. (or International),the Fédération Dentaire Internationale
Palmer numbering system
European plus / minus system.
20. Universal or ADA System
◦ Permanent Teeth
◦ Start with the right maxillary third molar (number 1) and follow around the
arch to the left maxillary third molar (16); descend to the left mandibular third
molar (17); and follow around to the right mandibular third molar (32).
21.
22. • Primary or Deciduous Teeth
Use continuous upper case letters A through T in the same sequence as for
permanent teeth: right maxillary second molar (A) around to the left maxillary
second molar (J); descend to the left mandibular second molar (K); and around to
the right mandibular second molar (T).
23.
24. International or F.D.I. System
• Permanent Teeth
• Each tooth is numbered by the quadrant (1 to 4) and by the tooth within the quadrant (1 to
8).
• Quadrant Numbers.1 Maxillary right 2 Maxillary left 3 Mandibular left 4 Mandibular right
(clock wise)
• Tooth Numbers Within Each Quadrant Start with number 1 at the midline (central incisor) to
number 8, third molar.
• Designation. The digits are pronounced sepa- rately. For example, ‘‘two-five’’ (25) is the
maxillary left second premolar, and ‘‘four-two’’ (42) is the mandibular right lateral incisor.9
25.
26. Primary or Deciduous Teeth
Each tooth is numbered by quadrant (5 to 8) to continue with the permanent quadrant numbers. The
teeth are numbered within each quadrant (1 to 5).
Quadrant Numbers
5 Maxillary right 6 Maxillary left 7 Mandibular left 8 Mandibular right
Tooth Numbers Within Each Quadrant.
Number 1 is the central incisor, and number 5 is the second primary molar.
Designation. The digits are pronounced sepa- rately. For example, ‘‘eight-three’’ (83) is the
mandibular right primary canine, and ‘‘six- five’’ (65) is the maxillary left second primary molar.
27.
28. Palmer notation
(chevron system)
◦ With number 1 for each central incisor, the teeth in each quadrant are numbered to 8,
the third molar. To identify individual teeth, horizontal and vertical lines are drawn to
indicate the quadrant. For example, the left maxillary first premolar is 4 , the right
mandibular first and second molars are 76 . An entire quadrant may be represented by
the use of the letter Q, for example, the maxillary right quadrant is Q .
29.
30. Primary or Deciduous Teeth
Upper case letters A through E are used instead of the numbers. Examples are the mandibular left canine C
and the maxillary right first primary molar D .
31. European system
(plus/minus system)
◦ This system uses (+) for the maxillary teeth and (-) for the mandibular
teeth for permanent teeth , the teeth of each quadrant are numbered
from 1-8 beginning with central incisor .
◦ In primary teeth, the teeth of each quadrant are numbered from 01,02
to …. 05.
