Britain's not accepting students' visa applications in North India
From Monday, the UK's visa application centres in northern India will temporarily stop accepting visa applications for student visas. I much regret the need to take this step. But I am clear we had no choice.
One problem that we face in India is with unscrupulous agents. While there are many agents who offer a genuine and useful service to visa applicants, there are others who try to convince people that they can provide them with a route into the UK by the backdoor. MORE

Pre-procedural rinsing in reducing aerosol contamination
Results showed that a regimen of 30-seconds pre-procedural rinsing with 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate before dental procedures consistently reduced colony-forming units than without rinsing due to the ability of antiseptic mouthwash to inhibit microbial growth. There was more aerosol contamination during scaling procedures than during the use of a high speed air turbine handpiece. The conclusion is that chlorhexidine is an effective primary measure in reducing aerosol cross-contamination when using dental devices in a dental set up. MORE
New Research finds way to Repair The After-Effects Of Gum Disease
Over recent years, Professor Ivanovski's research at the Griffith Institute for Health and Medical Research has been focussed on growing layers of cells such as stem cells and gingival (gum) fibroblasts for restoring damaged smiles.
"Previous work was involved in looking at the growth factors and optimal cell types for regenerating destroyed tissue."
"Now we are using new technology to harvest sheets of these cell cultures and transfer them safely to the surface of the tooth root," he said. Laboratory studies indicate that the cells can be successfully grafted with periodontal repair taking about six months. MORE
