MedicineNIDDM, or Non-Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (Type 2 diabetes), is primarily characterized by insulin resistance, where the body's cells do not respond properly to insulin. To compensate for this resistance and maintain normal blood glucose levels, the pancreas initially produces excess insulin, leading to increased levels of insulin in the blood (hyperinsulinemia).

Oral PathologyCorticosteroids are the drug of choice in facial nerve palsy (Bells palsy), especially when initiated within 72 hours of onset.

EndodonticsThe most generally accepted treatment of horizontal root fracture in the apical third of a maxillary central incisor involves frequent pulp testing and radiographic examination (monitoring approach). This conservative approach is preferred because: 1) Apical third fractures have excellent prognosis for natural healing, 2) Pulp often remains vital and functional, 3) Splinting may not be necessary as the fracture is inherently stable, 4) Regular monitoring allows early intervention if complications arise, 5) Surgical intervention or extraction is rarely needed. The healing usually occurs with fibrous tissue union.
