Title | : | A Summary of Inflammatory Bowel Disease |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr. Niketh Desouza |
Abstract: Background: Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic group of inflammatory disorders which can be localised to the colon or spread across the entire gastrointestinal tract. The two main types of IBD are Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis. IBD affects about 1.6 million Americans, most of who are diagnosed before the age of 35 years1. IBD can be debilitating as well as lead to life threatening complications. In 2013, IBD accounted for 51,000 deaths worldwide2. Death is not caused by IBD itself but by complications of IBD which include bowel perforation and toxic megacolon..........

Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr.D.Dakshina Murthy || Dr. B. Rama Chandra Rao || Dr.S.Surya Prakasa Rao |
Abstract: Sinusitis affects millions of people each year and is a major cause of concern worldwide. Chronic rhino-sinusitis is an inflammation of Nose and Paranasal sinuses and the aetiology of it is multifactorial. Anatomical variations of nose and paranasal sinuses are one of the most important aetiological factor for chronic sinusitis. The approach to patients with chronic rhinosinusitis is endoscopic surgery which aims at removing the obstruction of the main drainage pathway. The Osteomeatal complex based essentially on the concept that obstruction perpetuates the sinus disease...........

Title | : | Single Incision Multiport Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) with Conventional Instruments: A Single Centre Experience |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Kulkarni Akshay || Rege Sameer |
Abstract: Background: Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is an evolving field. Specially designed ports required for SILS are expensive, making this technique unaffordable to many. To overcome this draw-back, the use of conventional affordable instruments for SILS was encouraged. We present our case series of SILS with conventional instruments in a tertiary care centre. Methods: This is a single centre pilot study of 30 consecutive cases operated by SILS using conventional laparoscopic instruments. Outcomes measured were operative time, post-operative pain by Visual analogue scale (VAS), resumption of oral diet, duration of stay in the hospital, wound cosmesis and complications..........

Title | : | Genetics In Pediatric Dentistry –A Review |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Drifzah || Dr.DivyaPrahlad || Dr.Priya Subramaniam || Dr.Kinjal Shah |
Abstract: Genetics is the science of heredity and variation. It plays an important role in determining our individuality. The term “genetics” conveys two different concepts: genetics as the study of inherited characteristics, and genetics as the study of cellular processes controlled by DNA.Developmental defects of teeth can occur as isolated genetic traits, be associated with a chromosomal abnormality or syndrome, or be inherited as a complex trait with genetic and environmental interactions. Numerous hereditary syndromes are associated with congenitally missing teeth. Often pediatric dentists are the first health care practitioners to document dysmorphic features in a child. It is important for them to have an understanding of molecular genetics because the sensitivity and specificity of molecular-based diagnostics have revolutionized how diseases and disorders are defined
