Abstract: The Musculocutaneous nerve arises from the lateral cord of the brachial plexus, passes inferolaterally and then pierces through the coracobrachialis after supplying it, descends between the biceps and the brachialis, sending branches to both and continues as the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm. Variations in the origin, course, branching pattern, termination and the connections of the musculocutaneous nerve are not uncommon...........

Abstract: Psoriasis is a skin disease that is accompanied by systemic inflammation and is one of the most common inflammatory disorders, estimated to effect between 1 and 3% of the population[1]. It is characterized by epidermal hyperproliferation and dermal inflammation. The etiology of psoriasis is unknown but genetic factors play a role. Psoriasis may begin at any age but has two peak periods of onset: between 15 and 25 and between 50 to 60 years of age......

Abstract: Management of the completely edentulous patients has been a herculean task for the prosthodontist. A large number of geriatric patients are unable to cope with the conventional complete denture treatment. A common complaint of loose, ill-fitting dentures mandibular dentures is observed. Implant supported over-dentures is a convenient and a practical solution to the common problems faced by patients using conventional dentures. In this case report the patient is rehabilitated with two mandibular implants with locator attachments and a conventional complete denture in the maxilla........

Abstract: Systemic hypertension is an important condition in childhood. It is documented that almost 75% of cases hypertension and 90% of cases of pre hypertension in children and adolescents are undiagnosed [27]. The prevalence of hypertension in children is 1-4%. Among the 105 (n=105) children included in the study from 2009 to 2011, in a teaching Hospital, Hyderabad, Telangana State , the etiology of hypertension was determined in 97 (92.4%) cases. Renal parenchymal disease was the most common underlying pathology.........

Abstract: Primitive neuroectodermaltumor (PNET), which belongs to the Ewing's sarcoma (ES) family of tumors, is mainly seen in children and young adults. PNETs are extremely rare in the maxilla. Here, we report a case of a 15y old female diagnosed with PNET of maxilla following detailed radiologic,histopathologic, immunohistochemicalstudies. Though the imaging features of PNET are non-specific and definitive diagnosis is only by immunohistochemistry, PNET should be included in differential diagnosis of fast growing soft tissue tumours of children and young adolescents........

Abstract: The central giant cell granuloma is an uncommon, benign and proliferative pathological condition accounting for less than 7% of all benign lesions of the jaws whose etiology is not clearly explained. It is characterizedhistologically by cellular fibrous tissue containing multiple foci of haemorrhage, aggregations of multinucleated giant cells, and occasionally, trabeculae of woven bone. Various theories brand it from being a 'reactive' to hamartomatous to a neoplastic lesion. It has an increased predilection for mandible and females, in younger age groups. Some of the lesions are thought to display a markedly 'aggressive' behavior and a clinically 'aggressive' model of CGCG has been proposed........

Abstract: A knowledge of variation of blood vessel is important during operative, diagnostic and vascular procedure. Renal arteries are usually arise from abdominal aorta at the level of L1.Sometimes accessory renal arteries arise from aorta, below or above the normal renal artery. Sometimes these are unilateral or bilateral. In the present case study, bilateral double renal arteries are found during routine dissection. Knowledge of such variation in the renal arteries is important for urologist, radiologist and surgeon for reducing the chances of intraoperative and postoperative complication.

Abstract: Tooth wear is a complex multifactorial phenomenon caused by the interaction of biological, mechanical, chemical and tribological factors. The surface of the hard dental tissues as well as filling materials replacing enamel and dentin are mechanically loaded by antagonists (attrition) or other object in the oral cavity, e.g. toothbrush, toothpaste etc. (abrasion) as well as can be exposed to acidic environment in oral cavity (erosion). These processes lead to the formation of surface defects of hard dental tissues and fillings.......

Abstract: One of the main complications of the orthognatic surgeries of mandible and maxilla is the intraoperative bleeding due to the high blood supply of the region. Severe bleeding increases the possibility of need for blood transfusion. Transfusion increases the risk of transmitting blood-borne diseases and blood mismatch reactions. In order to decrease the incidence of blood transfusion and its complications, various techniques has been used to reduce the amount of bleeding during orthognatic surgeries. One of the most commonly used and effective methods is hypotensive anesthesia. The aim of the present paper was to review the advantages and disadvantages of hypotensive anesthesia and various protocols used to achieve it.

Abstract: This study is focused on a simple method of genomic DNA isolation from human blood collected on heparin and EDTA anticoagulant. It was known heparin may interfere with DNA testing in polymerase chain reaction amplification process. To overcome this, a modified protocol was followed. Here, TRizol and SDS were used to denature the membrane proteins and nucleoprotein complexes. Unlike standard/conventional procedure, excess proportion of isoamyl alcohol might had helped to reduce foaming and to obtain clear aqueous and organic layers.

Abstract: The present case is of peripheral ossifying fibroma in the mandibular anterior gingiva of a 30 year old female. The lesion was asymptomatic, reddish, firm and penduclated. The lesion was surgically excised and at follow up of 1 year showed no recurrence. Histological assesment showed connective tissue stroma with osseous like calcification. Suggestive of peripheral ossifying fibroma.

Abstract: Tuberculosis is an ancient disease. Skeletal system involvement is seen in 1%-10% tuberculosis patients. Vertebral tuberculosis is the most common form of bone involvement and amounts for 50% cases of skeletal tuberculosis. About 5% cases of Pott's disease develop psoas abscess. Psoas abscess secondary to Pott's spine is rare entity. Here we are reporting a case of psoas abscess secondary to Pott's spine. A 28 year old female was brought to outpatient department of surgery with complaints of swelling over the left lower back since one month along with back pain and fever since 6-7 months..

Abstract: Introduction: Ocular trauma is a major cause of monocular visual impairment with socioeconomic and psychological ramifications. Aim: This study was undertaken to assess the profile of ocular trauma in a tertiary care centre. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was done on 187 eyes of 184 patients of ocular trauma attending ophthalmic OPD in a tertiary care hospital. Demographic data and history were noted,a comprehensive ophthalmic examination was done. The cases were classified according to international classification of ocular trauma, Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology System (BETTS), Ocular Trauma Score (OTS) was calculated, time interval between the injury and reporting to an ophthalmologist was noted.........

Abstract: Background and purpose: Dorsalis pedis artery being the principal source of blood supply to the dorsum of the foot, its diameter is clinically important for normal growth of the foot and surgery in the area. The study was planned to observe the diameters of the artery at its origin and termination. Material and methods: Dorsalis pedis artery was dissected on both sides in thirty-eight apparently normal adult male and female formalin-fixed cadavers. Diameters were recorded at the beginning and termination of the artery using digital calipers.............

Abstract: Introduction: Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae,mainly involving cooler parts of the body particularly skin and peripheral nerves.it also involves muscles,bones testis and internal organs resulting in deformities. It is the most leading cause of physical disability and social stigma. It is a major problem mainly in the African and South East Asian Regions includingIndia. Its prolonged course is marked by reactions which are major source of morbidity.........
