Title | : | Cardiac Changes in Hepatic Cirrhosis |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr. S.Selvamani.MD || Dr. C.Vignesh |
Abstract: Cirrhosis liver. Is characterized by diffuse destruction and renegeration of hepatic parenchymal cells leading to deposition of connective tissue with resulting disorganization of the lobular and vascular architecture. Despite the remarkable regenerative capacity of the liver,once hepatic parenchymal reserve is exceeded,clinically overt or decompensated cirrhosis ensues. Portal hypertension develops when the resistance to blood flow through the liver and resulting increase in portal venous pressure lead to diversion of blood flow through low resistance portosystemic collaterals thereby bypassing the liver...............

Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr. M.Banupriya Dgo, M.S Og || Dr.N.Geetha M. D Og |
Abstract: Introduction: Bacterial Vaginosis is the commonest cause of abnormal vaginal discharge in women of reproductive age group .It is a polymicrobial syndrome by replacement of lactic acid producing species to mycoplasma and gram negative rods. Bacterial Vaginosis has been diagnosed using Amsel criteria and Nugent scoring system .This study was undertaken to compare the diagnostic ability of Amsel Criteria with that of Nugent Scoring among patients attended in Gynaec OPD..............

Title | : | A Prospective Randomized Study of Comparison of Intravenous Fentanyl Vs Intravenous Dexmedetomidine for Attenuation of Cardiovascular Response during Laryngos copy and Tracheal Intubation in Adult Cardiac Surgery |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr .Sanjeeta Umbarkar || Dr, Rajendra Pandhare |
Abstract: Background: Endotracheal Intubation involving conventional laryngoscopy elicits a hemodynamic response associated with increased heart rate and blood pressure. This is dangerous in patients with compromised cardiac disease which are coming for open heart surgeries. Up till now many drugs have been studied for attenuation of intubation response that too in Ischemic heart disease patients but very few studies are there in literature regarding valvular heart disease surgical patients. Hence we aimed to study comparative effect of intravenous fentanyl Vs Dexmeditomidine for attenuation of cardiovascular response to intubation in adult cardiac surgical patients............

Abstract: Pain is the most distressing aspect of any type of surgery. Analgesic multimodalities have been used but are fragile with side effects that limit their usefulness. In this prospective randomized double blind study we have evaluated the anesthetic efficacy and safety of addition of 5 μgm dexmedetomidine to 15mg isobaric levobupivacaine in patients undergoing elective gynecological surgeries regarding time of onset, level of sensory block, intensity of motor block, duration of analgesia, haemodynamic stability and any complications............

Title | : | Pin Retained Restoration: A Case Report |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr.U.B.Gajare || Dr.Dhiman.Choudhury || Dr. Prachi B Bhatia || Dr. Abhijit Patil |
Abstract: Pin retained amalgam restoration are a type of amalgam or resin restoration of a complex nature requiring the placement of one or more pins in the dentin to provide adequate retention and resistance forms. The pin-retained amalgam is a valuable treatment aid in the restoration of teeth with extensive carious lesions or fractures. The pins help in binding the amalgam/composite to the tooth structure. The case report given in this article presents the recovery of fractured anterior teeth with dentinal pins and composite restoration............

Abstract: Polypharmacy refers to use of multiple medications by a patient .Elderly patients having multiple chronic diseases are at more risk of polypharmacy. Lack of clear knowledge, usage of over the counter medications ,taking various medicines prescribed by multiple physicians and usage of alternate medications like herbs also increases the risk of polypharmacy.It can lead to potential risk of injuries ,delirium, functional and cognitive impairment and falls especially with cardiovascular and psychoactive medications.............

Abstract: Brest lumps are frequently found in females of different age group. So a need arises to distinguish benign and malignant lesions, prior to taking a decision regarding a definitive treatment. Increase awareness and better understanding of the problem has resulted in a marked increase in number of tumors detected. Breast lumps are detected by SBE by the patients, next a clinical breast examination by surgeon and then a breast imaging...............

Abstract: Malaria caused by Plasmodium species is a disease with high morbidity and mortality, especially in children. The changing clinical and blood manifestations of P.falciparum, emerging trends of complications with P.vivax are some of the important issues that merit attention at present in India. The prospective crosssectional study conducted on 170 patients of malaria in Mumbai aimed at studying the clinico-haematological alterations in the disease. Fever and splenomegaly were critical findings in majority of patients so that they may be used for clinical diagnosis of malaria and early institution of therapy..............

Abstract: There are many myths about cervical vertigo. Cervical vertigo is defined as vertigo from the cervical spine. In this review article, we outline the basic science and clinical evidence for cervical vertigo according to the current literature. So far, there are 4 different hypotheses explaining the vertigo of a cervical origin, including proprioceptive cervical vertigo, Barré-Lieou syndrome, rotational vertebral artery vertigo, and migraine-associated cervicogenic vertigo. Proprioceptive cervical vertigo and rotational vertebral artery vertigo have survived with time................

Title | : | Factors Associated with Virologic Failure Amongst Adults on Antiretroviral Therapy in Nyanza Region, Kenya |
Country | : | Kenya |
Authors | : | R.K.A. Sang || F. O. Miruka |
Abstract: Background: Access to Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) to patients living with HIV (PLHIV) has markedly improved especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. The goal of ART is to ensure viral suppression and prevention of treatment failure which may be clinical, immunological or virologic. Viral suppression is important to better outcomes of treatment. This study aimed at determining the factors associated with virologic failure amongst patients with clinical and/or immunologic failure................

Title | : | Bladder-Preservation Therapy in Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer: A Single Centre Experience |
Country | : | Morocco |
Authors | : | I. Bourhafour || O. Elallam || I. Elalami || H. Elkacemi || S. Elmajjaoui || T. Kebdani || N. Benjaafar |
Abstract: Purpose:Radical cystectomy with or without chemotherapy is the most commonly recommended treatment for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Bladder preservation therapy by concurrent chemo-radiation is another promising option for many patients deemed unsuited for surgery. We evaluated the feasibility, efficacy and the outcomes of our own experience with concurrent chemo-radiation in muscle-invasive bladder cancer and we give a critical analysis and an overview of the current treatment protocol from other institutions.................

Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Kousalya Vuyyuru || Nivedhitha Malli Sureshbabu |
Abstract: Background: Pain is an unwanted yet unfortunately common sensation after root canal treatment which commences a few hours or days after treatment and is always an unpleasant experience for both patients and clinicians. The reasons for postoperative pain can be many including chemical, mechanical or microbial injuries to the periapical tissues that result in acute inflammation................
