An Unusually Large Irritation Fibroma Associated with Gingiva of Lower Left Posterior Teeth Region

Fibroma is a benign tumor of oral cavity, with usually the tongue, gingiva, and buccal mucosa being the most common sites. Females are twice more likely to develop fibroma than males. The intraoral fibroma typically is well demarcated; and its size can vary from millimeter to few centimeters. Intraorally the growth is attached to the mucosa by means of a peduncle. Fibroma is generally slow growing, painless, smooth surface lesion and the color is slightly paler than the adjacent healthy tissue. Treatment usually requires total excision and recurrence is rare. Here we present a case of 37-year-old female patient reported to the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology with the chief complaint of a growth in the lower left posterior teeth region 3 months earlier

Numerical study of unsteady blood flow through a vessel using Sisko model

A mathematical study for two-phase unsteady pulsatile flow of blood through a vessel in the presence of body acceleration is presented in this paper. The blood in the core region is modeled as a non-Newtonian fluid while in the peripheral region it is described as a Newtonian fluid. The effects of body acceleration are also taken into account in this study. The continuity and momentum equations are used to model the proposed problem in terms of a nonlinear partial differential equation. This equation along with initial and boundary conditions is made dimensionless and then solved numerically using finite difference method. The behavior of various flow quantitates is analyzed through a parametric study
