Abstract: Aim: To evaluate the effect of topical Anesthesia on the results of Schirmer's I Test(S I t) in normal Eyes. Methods: Totally, 200 eyes in 100 Normal individuals, male (34) and female (66), (with a mean age of 59 years) were examined. S I t without anesthesia was performed firstly, and 15 minutes later it was applied in the same person after topical anesthesia with 0.5% Proparacaine Hydrochloride eye drops. Results: The wetting length in S I t after topical anesthesia was significantly lower than that in S I t without anesthesia (P<0.05). Conclusion: Schirmer I test is used to detect the true basal secretion of tears and this study shows that topical anesthesia usage is better in detecting true basal secretion as Schirmer's I test without anesthesia shows an apparently increased wetting due to some amount of reflex secretion.

Abstract: Periodontal diagnosis is an important label that clinicians place on patients periodontal condition or disease. A well structured and detailed history with a comprehensive and complete examination helps establish an accurate diagnosis. The prognosis and treatment plan for the patient relies almost entirely on proper clinical diagnosis. Despite extensive research to develop novel techniques for improved diagnostic quality the traditional methods clinical diagnosis still remains the mainstay of diagnosis. A good understanding of patient history and findings help provide a customized treatment plan, attending to all specific needs of the individual patient. This article provides details ; on the history of the patient with respect to medical , dental, personal, family aspect as well as thorough clinical examination assessing different components of the periodontium.

Abstract: Aim:To assess the effectiveness of inferior conjunctival autograft with respect to recurrence rates in the management of primary pterygium. Methods: 100 patients with primary nasal pterygium of >2mm in horizontal diameter without any other ocular or systemic disease were included in the study. Under peribulbar anaesthesia, patients underwent pterygium excision. All patients underwent inferior conjunctival autografting using sutureless glueless technique. Patients were followed up on 1st day, 1month, 3 months, 6months and 1 year. Results: Out of 100 patients, M:F = 68:32, post operatively 55 patients had vision improvement, 45 patients had static vision . 03 patients of inferior conjunctival autograft had recurrence of Grade 1 in 1 month, 03 patients had retracted graft requiring repositioning, 01 patient had graft edema on the 1st post op day. Recurrence rate was 3%. Conclusion: This method is highly efficient in terms of post op patient symptoms, safety, efficacy, economy and low recurrence rates and is preferred because the superior bulbar conjunctiva is intact for eventual future surgical intervention.

Abstract: Background: Vascular lesions show a broad variety of morphological appearances and cilinical behavior, the lesions are ranging from inflammatory, benign hemangiomas to intermediate lesion, which are locally aggressive, to highly malignant angiosarcoma. There is also the grey zone between true neoplasia and hamartoma, which makes difficulty in histopathological assessment. It is also important to decide the degree of malignancy as it can strongly influence the choice of treatment and prognosis. Materials and Methods: 98 cases of vascular lesions at the department of pathology, Siddharda medical college, Vijayawada,for a period of three years(2014 -2016) have been studied retrospectivelyand histopathological features were analyzed...............

Abstract: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma has high prevalence and mortality. Disease is more common in individuals over 70 and rarely occurs before the age of 40.Contributory factors for pancreatic cancer include advance age, male gender, more common in African American than African in their native Africa, smoking, obesity, family history, chronic pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus, red and processed meat, and strong evidence with heavy drinking. Pancreatic adenocarcinoma(exocrine type cancer) are more common than neuroendocrine type cancer. In the early stages there are no symptoms of the disease. Pain in the upper stomach, jaundice, unexplained weight loss, tumor may compress neighboring organs, and 50% of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma also have diabetes. Diagnosis by medical imaging. Treatment with surgery,radiotherapy, chemotherapy and palliative care. Prevention, not smoking, limiting the intake of red and processed meat, healthy weight, and consumption of fruits and vegetables. Early detection and treatment have better outcome.
