Authors | : | Dr. S.S. Meera || M.S., Prof. N. Tamilselvan || M.S. Dr. P. Satheeshkumar || Dr.V. Rishigowtham. |
Abstract: A better understanding of benign breast disorders comes from a comprehensive framework 'Aberrations of normal development and Involution' (ANDI) – under which most of the breast complaints can be explained. Benign Breast disorders can be noted as 'Universal phenomenon' in all ages of women causing physical and psychological distress to the patient. ANDI is an umbrella term used to describe the breast disorders that arise due to minor aberrations of the normal process of development, cyclical hormonal response and Involution. Though there have been many drugs used previously, their side-effects overwhelmed the benefits.........

Country | : | India |
Authors | : | D Suresh Kumar || TD Balamurugan || MP Vishwanathan || S Sivakumari || Kavitha Sukumar || Navin Naushad || Shakthi Usha Devi |
Abstract: Introduction: The lymphatics of testis drains through gonadal vessels to retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Hence they do not metastasize to inguinal lymph nodes. We report a case of testicular tumour with inguinal nodal metastasis and management of the same. We discuss the pathophysiology, complications and preventive measures along with literary review. Case report: A 31 year male underwent radical orchidectomy for right testicular tumour (Non Seminomatous Germ cell tumour). After six months, he recurred with ipsilateral metastasic inguinal lymph nodal mass with elevated serum tumor markers. After 4 cycles of chemotherapy, radical inguinal block dissection was done for residual nodes.............

Title | : | Implant Supported Overdenture: an alternative to Conventional Denture- A Case Report |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Shayan Nazir || Ashish Choudhary || Mohamad Imran || Muzafar Ahmad |
Abstract: Many patients have problems adapting to their complete dentures, especially to the mandibular prosthesis. The totally edentulous patient has several options for implant treatment today, including both fixed and removable solutions. While fixed prosthesis may appear more attractive by restoring the patient closer to a truly 'dentate' status many patients are also favourable to receive a removable appliance. This removable choice has become increasingly popular during the recent global financial downturn............

Abstract: Small round blue cell tumor is a very common diagnostic finding after intraoperative diagnostic procedures such as squash cytology or frozen section. After proper biopsy techniques, histopathological diagnosis and immunohistochemistry confirmation, diagnosis of Esthesioneuroblastoma is established. Due to its aggressiveness and high recurrence rate, it is mandatory to diagnose this tumor as soon as possible. In our three year study period, only 3 cases of Esthesioneuroblastoma were reported in which extensive Immunohistochemistry panel played an important role to differentiate it from others and come to a conclusive diagnosis............

Abstract: Diphtheria outbreaks, though very rare, still occur worldwide, in the developed and developing countries. Diphtheria has high mortality in non-vaccinated populations. Corynebacterium diphtheria produce very potent toxin when infected with a bacteriophage that migrates the toxin-encoding genetic elements into bacteria. The R domain binds to a cell surface receptor, permitting the toxin to enter the cell by receptor mediated endocytosis.The toxin elaborated locally induces a dense necrotic coagulum composed of fibrin,leukocytosis,dead respiratory epithelial cells, leading to white-gray brown pseudomembrane.,a common cause of death is suffocation after aspiration of membrane..........

Title | : | Maxillary Sinus Augmentation by Autogenous Block Graft A- Case Report |
Country | : | Saudi Arabia. |
Authors | : | Dr. Tazeen Dawood || Dr. Hassan Sadek |
Abstract: Tooth morbidity and tooth mortality are one of the most prevalent disease condition worldwide. When a tooth is lost, whether through dental decay, periodontal disease or dental trauma, the alveolar process begins to remodel. Continuous bone remodeling, absence of stimulation, loss of bone height, and density leads to an increase in antral pneumatization , leading to reduction in residual vertical bone height thus making standard implant placement difficult. To adapt, circumvent, and treat this limitation; maxillary sinus floor elevation is often done and has become an important preplacement procedure in dental implant treatment planning. In this article, we present a unique case of maxillary sinus augmentation of right posterior maxilla using a combination of autogenous chin block graft, and allograft with simultaneous placement of endosseous implants.

Country | : | Saudi Arabia. |
Authors | : | Dr. Tazeen Dawood || Dr. Hassan Sadek |
Abstract: Dental implants are no longer an enigma but now a reality as we have walked out of the arena of single speciality treatments to multi- disciplinary approaches aiming at the rehabilitation of patients with missing teeth. From the past decade the golden standard of implant protocol has been replaced by new and more novel interventions owing to the advances in clinical techniques and expansion of biomaterials which has lead to a new era of modern implant dentistry, which promises better rehabilitation of missing teeth both functionally and aesthetically, shorten treatment periods.......

Title | : | Role of Mirror Therapy for Phantom Limb Pain in Below Knee Amputees |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr. Poonji Gupta || Dr. Amit Saraf Mbbs Ms |
Abstract: Introduction: The pain caused by surgery is usually of a transient nature, however the perception of pain in an amputated limb often persists. This prolonged pain, which is often refractory to pain-killing medication, nerve block and surgical treatment may severely affect the patient's quality of life. The phenomenon of phantom limb pain has been investigated using neurological, neurophysiological and psychopathological approaches. However exact cause of phantom limb pain is still a mystery. In this study we analysed the role of mirror therapy for treatment of phantom limb pain in below knee amputation..........

Abstract: microbes that cause infection of the pulp and subsequently the root canal. Bacteria that infect the root canal are the most important causative agents and over 460 different species have been detected. Yeasts have also been associated with periapical inflammation, however despite the detection of various viruses in chronic periapical granulomas, the role of viruses in apical periodontitis has not been clearly understood.1 Parra and Slots 2 and Contreras and Slots 3 detected several viral transcripts in periodontal pockets using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This evoked a growing interest amongst various researchers in the association of virus in apical periodontitis. Sabeti et al........

Abstract: Meningiomas are usually arise within the dura, sometimes extend beyond it, but completely outside the dura are very rare. Spinal meningiomas represent around 10% of all meningiomas and, commonly occur as intradural extramedullary lesions. Purely extradural spinal meningiomas are very rare and only few cases are reported in literature. We describe a case of 50yr old female who presented with upper dorsal region pain and sensory-motor spastic paraparesis. Imaging features were suggestive of D1-3 epidural lesion with significant cord compression. Patient underwent complete excision of lesion. On HPE, a diagnosis of meningothelial meningioma was made. Post-operatively patient showed a good clinical outcome without any recurrence during follow-up of 6 months.

Title | : | Gastric Adenocarcinoma with Superadded Candida Infection In A Chronic Alcoholic |

Authors | : | Dr. Bhushan M. Warpe M.B.B.S., M.D || Dr. Shweta S. Joshi M.B.B.S., M.D. |
Abstract: Esophagus is mainly reported to be involved by candidiasis in the gastro-intestinal tract with very rare occurrence in the stomach. Both benign and malignant gastric ulcers have been known to be associated with candidiasis. However the latter association is very rarely reported in literature. We present such a 'rare case' of an elderly chronic alcoholic/smoker who had epigastric tenderness without history of diabetes/hypertension. His GI endoscopy revealed a suspicious malignant gastric ulcer involving the greater curvature of the stomach. The 'gold standard' diagnostic tool of guided biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma with superadded Candida infection. Anti-fungal medication followed by resection of the resectable tumor was the line of management.
