Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) was one of the top most causes of death worldwide in 2015 and was responsible for more deaths than Malaria and HIV. So, aggressive treatment of TB is the need of the hour. On the flip side, the TB drugs are known to cause several adverse drug reactions (ADRs).This study aims to document various ADRs in TB patients maintained on DOTS protocol with first line drugs. Methods: A prospective observational study was carried out on 170 patients. The data was collected using a data collection form and the standard IPC-PvPI form prescribed by the WHO. The patients were also followed up on phone. Causality assessment was done by both WHO-UMC causality assessment scale, Naranjo algorithm and severity is assessed by Modified Hart Wig and Siegel scale.......

Abstract: A patient, 15 year old, female, reported to DY Patil University, School of dentistry, Nerul, Navi-Mumbai. She presented with a chief complaint of missing tooth in upper front region. After radiologic examination, it was found out that 11 was impacted. We completed the orthodontic treatment, but the tooth couldnt be extruded completely. So a crown lengthening procedure was performed and the teeth 11,12 and 22 were restored with laminates and an all ceramic crown for partially extruded 21..

Abstract: Anatomy is a vast subject which requires memorization and retention of the subject in the pre-clinical stage. The same knowledge has to be applied in understanding in problem solving in the ensuing clinical stages. Millennium students are well versed with technology. Innovative teaching methods have also evolved making use of the technology and connectivity. One innovative teaching methodology of the recent times has shown to have better results in improving the learning and higher levels of cognition in comparison to the traditional mode of teaching. Flipped classroom method and its positive results were seen when employed on a small group demonstration. The enhanced learning shown by the Flipped classroom technology has prompted me to try the same on a large group lecture taking into view the problems involved in implementing the same to a small group.

Ocular motor nerve palsies are commonly encountered in clinical practice and they vary widely in clinical presentation and etiology. Aim: The aim is to study the clinical aspects of ocular motor cranial nerve palsies. Material and Methods: This is a prospective observational study conducted on thirty patients of 3rd , 4th and 6th cranial nerve palsies either singly or in combination, who attended the ophthalmology OPD during the period between June 2015 to October 2016.

Abstract: The most common dental injury is the crown fractures of the permanent anterior teeth. If the original tooth fragment is retained following fracture,the natural tooth structures can be reattached using adhesive protocols.Extensivetooth fragment can also be aesthetically reattached and strengthen the tooth structure using fiber reinforced posts. These fiber reinforced posts have a modulus of elasticity similar to dentin. This technique is inexpensive, very conservative. This case report presents a clinical technique to reattachment maxillary lateral incisor tooth after trauma using direct fiberreinforced post systems and present the 3-year follow-up..........

Abstract: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is one of the typical tumors of childhood and adolescence, representing over 50% of soft tissue sarcomas in those age groups. Soft tissue sarcomas make up > 1% of all adult malignancies, and RMS represents 3% of all soft tissue sarcomas. The most well-known primary tumor sites incorporate the head and neck district (35%), trailed by the genitourinary and extremity primaries. Intra-abdominal rhabdomyosarcoma is still rarer in adult population. A 61 years old male patient presented with complain of lump in............

Abstract: Ambras syndrome is a very rare type of congenital skin disease characterized by excessive hair growth on the entire body, with the exception of the palms, soles, and mucous membranes. Congenital generalized hypertrichosis associated with gingival hyperplasia are rare cases published in literature. The frequency incidence of generalized congenital hypertrichosis is about one to billions of people. Here, is a rare case report of three and half-year old girl who presented with generalized hypertrichosis with gingival fibromatosis and dysmorphic facial features is discussed.

Abstract: Low birth weight is a sensitive index of a nation's health and development. In developing countries, such babies are at risk of increased morbidity and mortality due to diverse causes. It is therefore essential to identify low birth-weight babies early so that appropriate measures can be taken to minimize the risk to them. At times appropriate weight measuring tools may not be readily available to weigh newborn babies. In the absence or unavailability of appropriate weighing scales, simple surrogate measuring tools like
mid-arm circumference may have considerable importance for easy and rapid identification of low birth weight
babies.........

Abstract: Background: Burn injuries are physically and mentally challenging events for the patients. This study was done to find if some of the burn patients have psychiatric disorder and if they have then what is the pattern of psychiatric problems in burn patient. Material and methods: 100 consecutive patients of burns were screened using the General Health Questionnaire -30 (GHQ-30) and those with GHQ-30 score >5 were further evaluated with Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Diseases- Clinical version (SCID – CV). Results: 66% of the burn victims were females and 75% belonged to rural background. 36% patients were suffering from some kind of psychiatric co-morbidity.Most common co-morbid psychiatric........
