Karthika Nair

Karuppu Raja dearly loves his small village of Pothakudi. He takes great pride in being responsible for its only source of light, switching the circuit breaker on every night to power the streetlamps. But one evening, he discovers a bird’s nest buried deep inside the box. He’s faced with a terrible dilemma: to turn the switch on and destroy the nest or to leave the village in darkness until the fledgelings are born.

A terapia g nica promete ter uma boa perspectiva de preencher a lacuna entre as aplica es odontol gicas e a medicina. As modalidades terap uticas din micas da terapia g nica t m avan ado rapidamente. Abordagens convencionais est o sendo reformuladas para serem mais abrangentes e preventivas, o que poderia acabar com a necessidade de cirurgia e rem dios. As sequ ncias de bases complementares conhecidas como genes transmitem as instru es necess rias para fabricar prote nas. A cavidade oral um dos locais mais acess veis para a interven o terap utica da terapia g nica para diversos tecidos orais. Em 1990, o primeiro ensaio significativo de terapia g nica foi supervisionado para aliviar a defici ncia de adenosina desaminase. A no o de engenharia gen tica tornou-se cada vez mais atraente como reflexo de seus benef cios sobre as modalidades convencionais de tratamento. Um exemplo de como essa tecnologia pode alterar a odontologia a implementa o da terapia g nica para doen as dentais e orais. O objetivo deste artigo examinar os efeitos da terapia g nica no campo da odontologia, periodontia e implantodontia.

Die Gentherapie verspricht gute Aussichten, die L cke zwischen dentalen Anwendungen und der Medizin zu schlie en. Die dynamischen therapeutischen Modalit ten der Gentherapie haben sich schnell weiterentwickelt. Herk mmliche Ans tze werden berarbeitet, um umfassender und pr ventiver zu sein, was die Notwendigkeit von Operationen und Medikamenten insgesamt berfl ssig machen k nnte. Die komplement ren Basensequenzen, die als Gene bekannt sind, bermitteln die Anweisungen, die zur Herstellung von Proteinen erforderlich sind. Die Mundh hle ist einer der am besten zug nglichen Orte f r den therapeutischen Eingriff der Gentherapie f r mehrere orale Gewebe. 1990 wurde der erste bedeutende Gentherapieversuch zur Linderung des Adenosindeaminasemangels durchgef hrt. Der Begriff der Gentechnik ist zunehmend ansprechender geworden, da er seine Vorteile gegen ber herk mmlichen Behandlungsmodalit ten widerspiegelt. Ein Beispiel daf r, wie diese Technologie die Zahnheilkunde ver ndern kann, ist die Anwendung der Gentherapie f r Zahn- und Munderkrankungen. Das Ziel dieses Artikels ist es, die Auswirkungen der Gentherapie auf den Bereich der Zahnheilkunde, Parodontologie und Implantologie zu untersuchen.

La terapia genica promette di possedere buone prospettive per colmare il divario tra le applicazioni odontoiatriche e la medicina. Le modalit terapeutiche dinamiche della terapia genica stanno avanzando rapidamente. Gli approcci convenzionali vengono rinnovati per essere pi completi e preventivi, il che potrebbe eliminare del tutto la necessit di chirurgia e medicina. Le sequenze di basi complementari note come geni trasmettono le istruzioni necessarie per produrre proteine. Il cavo orale una delle sedi pi accessibili per l'intervento terapeutico di terapia genica per diversi tessuti orali. Nel 1990, stato supervisionato il primo studio significativo di terapia genica per alleviare il deficit di adenosina deaminasi. La nozione di ingegneria genetica diventata sempre pi allettante come riflesso dei suoi vantaggi rispetto alle modalit di trattamento convenzionali. Un esempio di come questa tecnologia possa alterare l'odontoiatria l'implementazione della terapia genica per i disturbi dentali e orali. L'obiettivo di questo articolo esaminare gli effetti della terapia genica nel campo dell'odontoiatria, della parodontologia e dell'implantologia.

An Indie Next Selection for December 2021A Ms. Magazine Recommended Read for Fall 2021In March 2020, France declared a full lockdown to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Shortly thereafter, poets and friends Marilyn Hacker and Karthika Na r--living mere miles from each other but separated by circumstance, and spurred by this extraordinary time--began a correspondence in verse. Renga, an ancient Japanese form of collaborative poetry, is comprised of alternating tanka beginning with the themes of tōki and tōza: this season, this session. Here, from the "plague spring," through a year in which seasons are marked by the waxing and waning of the virus, Hacker and Na r's renga charts the "differents and sames" of a now-shared experience. Their poems witness a time of suspension in which some things, somehow, press on relentlessly, in which solidarity persists--even thrives--in the face of a strange new kind of isolation. Between "ten thousand, yes, minutes of Bones," there's cancer and chemotherapy and the aches of an aging body. There is grief for the loss of friends nearby and concern for loved ones in the United States, Lebanon, and India. And there is a deep sense of shared humanity, where we all are "mere atoms of water, / each captained by protons of hydrogen, hurtling earthward." At turns poignant and playful, the seasons and sessions of A Different Distance display the compassionate, collective wisdom of two women witnessing a singular moment in history.

A dazzling and eloquent reworking of the Mahabharata, one of South Asia's best-loved epics, through nineteen peripheral voices. With daring poetic forms, Karthika Na r breathes new life into this ancient epic. Karthika Na r refracts the epic Mahabharata through the voices of nameless soldiers, outcast warriors and handmaidens as well as abducted princesses, tribal queens, and a gender-shifting god. As peripheral figures and silent catalysts take center stage, we get a glimpse of lives and stories buried beneath the dramas of god and nation, heroics and victory - of the lives obscured by myth and history, all too often interchangeable. Until the Lions is a kaleidoscopic, poetic tour de force. It reveals the most intimate threads of desire, greed, and sacrifice in this foundational epic.

The title of this book comes from the African proverb - "until the lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter." In this poetic reimagining, Nair writes, for the first time, the history of the women in the Mahabharata, the longest poem ever written and one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India.

In the words of the poet herself, '"Bearings" began as the only tangible signs of an attempt to stay connected to a language that felt most intimately my own, and yet did not figure in my landscape any more'. Through its three sections, Virga, Damaged Goods and Terra Infirma, Karthika Nair meditates on the intertwined themes of directions, moorings and disclosures, with the multiple meanings and connections inherent in the title itself. Bereavement and absences, the loss of memory and love, concerns about home and identity, find eloquent expression in these evocative poems which the poet likens to a logbook of journeys without any particular destination in mind, with language as shape-shifting map, and the desire to express, to share as the sole, somewhat unreliable, compass.
