Title | : | A Study of Additional Pair of Sacral Foramina In Eastern Indian Dry Sacra |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | GyanaranjanNayak |
Abstract: Occurence of five pairs of sacral foramina is an anatomical variation which may be due to sacralisation of fifth lumbar vertebra or first coccygeal vertebra. Sacralisation of lumbar vertebra may lead to compression of fifth sacral nerve causing backache and sciatica. It may be associated with prolapse of intervertebral disc above the sacralisation. On the other hand sacralisation of coccygeal vertebra may result in prolongation of second stage of labor and perineal tear.............

Title | : | Epidermal Inclusion Cyst: A rare cause of unilateral male breast enlargement |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Debadutta Senapati || Srikrishnaditya Manne || Taraka Krishna Nulukurthi || Akshapada Pattanaik |
Abstract: We report a case of unilateral breast enlargement in a young male patient from an epidermal inclusion cyst of breast (EICB). EICB leading to breast enlargement can be psychologically disturbing in a male for which the patient seeks treatment. Careful history and physical examination along with imaging and cytology studies are important to rule out other causes of unilateral breast enlargement, especially malignancy. Excision of the cyst and histopathology of the specimen is required for treatment and ruling out other causes.

Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dipankar De || K. Sunilbala || Arup Ratan Mondal || Kh. Ibochouba Singh |
Abstract: Background: Typhoid fever is a major public health problem in developing countries.The most confirmatory test is isolation of organism from blood, urine or stool. Blood culture is a gold standard for diagnosis but facilities are often unavailable, expensive and time consuming which may lead to increased morbidity and mortality. A rapid serological test, Typhidot test is required for diagnosis of typhoid fever at an early stage. So we evaluate the efficacy of Typhidot test for early diagnosis of typhoid fever in children. Aims of the study: 1. To evaluate the Typhidot test for the diagnosis of typhoid fever in children. 2. To determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value for Typhidot test. Study design- Cross-sectional study.........

Title | : | A Study of Management of Pediatric Femoral Diaphyseal Fractures with Flexible Intramedullary Titanium Elastic Nail |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr.Ghaniuzzoha Asadi || Dr.Abhijit More || Dr.Ramakant Bhivsan || Dr.Nikhil Lakade || Dr.Ketan Kodare |
Abstract: Femoral diaphyseal fracture accounts for 1.6% of all childhood fracture. Traditionally, the treatment for closed femoral shaft fractures in children was a period of traction until signs of healing were seen on x-ray followed by hip spica casting immobilization for 6–12 weeks. This led to long hospitalizations and prolonged periods of bedrest leading to cessation of the childhood routine activities. But nowadays flexible intramedullary titanium elastic nailing has become treatment of choice for pediatric femoral diaphyseal fracture
especially in age group 5-12 years.Hip spica casting is restricted for age group 3 months to 5 years.Fl exible intra medullary titanium elastic nailing provides a more biological environment for healing with micro-motion leading to greater callus formation........

Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Ranendra Hajong || Donkupar Khongwar || Madhur Anand || Narang Naku || K Lenish Singh || Manash Pratim Boruah |
Abstract: Background: Involvement of the left colon by tuberculosis is a relatively uncommon presentation and the clinical presentations are very similar to carcinoma. Bleeding per rectum and constipation are the usual presenting features. Colonoscopy may reveal a mass lesion but only histopathological examination will be able to differentiate tuberculosis from malignancy. Case Report: A 46 year old female patient presented with complaints of abdominal distension and bleeding per rectum on and off. Colonoscopic biopsy and histopathological examination of the mass lesion from the descending colon revealed mucosal ulceration and presence of submucosal granuloma and Langhans' giant cell suggesting tuberculosis........

Abstract: Cryptorchidism is one of the conditions that surgeons, anatomists and pathologists have studied for over a hundred years. In spite of this, it has not been possible to evolve an ideal mode of treatment for this condition. However, work by several authors in the very recent past has thrown new light on several aspects of this anomaly which were previously unknown. The abnormality assumes particular importance in cases of bilateral undescended testes, where correct diagnosis and timely treatment can save patient from life long misery of sterility. In unilateral cases treatment is directed to prevent complications known to be associated with undescended testis..........

Abstract: Salvadorapersica (Miswak) is used in many parts of the world as a tool for the cleaning of teeth and general oral hygiene. This material is imported into the United Kingdom, from countries in Africa, Asia and the Middle East, and is sold in ethnic shops. They are popular amongst members of certain ethnic communities. Very little is known about the trace elements content of chewing sticks and their possible impact on human health. Therefore, in the current study, a survey of trace elements composition of chewing sticks, sold in ethnic shops (in Leicester, Birmingham, Luton, London) and some Libyan cities was carried out using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)...........

Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr. G. K .Pathak || Dr(Mrs) Padmaja Saikia || Dr Sonal Agarwala || Dr Manish Joshi |
Abstract: Background: Vitiligo is a progressive depigmenting cutaneous disorder, resulting from the loss of melanocytes. In the inner ear, melanocytes are believed to play an important role in development and normal functioning of stria vascularis. Acoustic abnormalities in vitiligo patients remain obscured for long durations. This study was carried out to determine the presence of subclinical sensorineural hypoacusis in vitiligo patients, if any, in comparison with controls and to detect any relevant demographic or clinical finding characteristic of hypoacusis in vitiligo patients.........

Abstract: Background: Surgical biopsies have always been the mainstay for a precise diagnosis of superficial or deep neoplastic lesions, however fine needle aspiration is safe, reliable & minimally invasive. Sometimes fine needle aspiration (FNA) does not yield sufficient information for precise diagnosis and the risk of false negative or intermediate diagnosis always exists. Hence to make the best possible use of aspirate, smear should be combined with cell block (CB) preparation that in turn gives a better morphological & histological diagnosis. Materials and Methods: A total of 148 patients were included in the study, which were subjected to fine needle aspiration. In addition to the routine smears, CBs were prepared from the residual tissues for all cases & its diagnostic accuracy was analyzed. Further, the use of CBs for immunohistochemistry (IHC) was also established in difficult cases.........

Title | : | Ghrelin and its Role in the Secretion and Motility of the Gastrointestinal Tract in Humans |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Nadya Penkova || Pepa Atanassova || Zlatina Petrova Zheleva || Monika Chilikova |
Abstract: The functional plasticity of the gastrointestinal tract in the processes of digestion, transport and resorption of nutrients is carried out by complex neurohumoral factors. Tissue hormones excreted by the enteroendocrine cells ensure local regulation of the processes in the gastrointestinal wall in correspondence with the specific needs in its separate sections. One of these hormones is ghrelin. As a recently discovered hormone by Masayasu Kodzima et al. in 1999, the type of endocrine cells, which synthesize it, as well as its physiologic functions and mechanisms of operation, has not been clarified ye.........
