Emerging trends have placed oral physicians at the forefront in diagnosing Diabetesmellitus (DM), control the illness and help those with prediabetes avoid full onset. It is undiagnosed in approximately half of the patients actually suffering from the disease.  DM is one of the most common, chronic diseases affecting mankind with considerable morbidity and mortality. It affects more than 120 million people worldwide, and it is estimated that it will affect 220 million by the year 2020. The literature provides consistent evidence of greater prevalence and severity of periodontal disease in, both type 1 and 2 diabetics. The presence of periodontitis increases the risk of worsening of glycemic control over time.  Read more>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Evolutionary biologists, kinesiologists and physical anthropologists have for long made the post cranial skeleton as core of their research. The metrical and morphological changes in bone and musculo-ligament size , shape and disposition that accompanied shift from a quadruped to biped gait are analysed and explained.    Almost every pre-pelvic part of the biped skeleton reflects adaptive alterations to their anatomy as consequence of hind-limbs taking over the weight bearing and locomotor functions. Erect posture in the hominid has engendered multiple adaptive changes in musculo-skeletal and soft tissue elements. While the primary focus of evolutionary anthropological study has remained in the post cranial regions, much adaptive change in the head and neck regions brought about by orthograde posture and biped gait.  Read more>>>>>>>>>>>>>
