Abstract: Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. On one hand India had started national programs since 1975, and till date majority of the metropolitan cities have cancer registries but there is still lack of such repositories in rural and neglected areas. The department of oncology is superspeciality centre of cancer in the state. The oncology database of RIMS is developed at Biomedical Informatics Centre. ODRi is the only database in the centre and state that collects information on approximately all new cancer diagnosed in the state or referred from any other higher centres................

Abstract: Introduction: Identification of individuals, be it as part of criminal investigations or for any other purpose pertaining to public welfare like disaster management, is an integral part of forensic medicine. Dental tissues seldom get destroyed even in disastrous situations like arson. Moreover, various aspects of dental morphology have been shown to exhibit varying degrees of sexual dimorphism. This factor has often been employed in various studies in assessing the gender of an individual.........

Abstract: Encephalocele are not uncommon but giant encephaloceles are rare lesions. Giant encephalocele mean they are larger than the head. These defects in the formation of the cranium are often associated with congenital anomalies of the brain and/or meninges. The defect is often on the squamous part of the occipital bone and may include the posterior part of the foramen magnum They contain herniated cranial contents inside the skin covering sac through congenital defect in the skull bone. Because of their enormous size they create a surgical challenge. Here we are reporting a case series of neonatal giant occipital encephalocele.

Abstract: Dengue fever a vector borne disease also transmitted via infected blood products and organ donation. Mainly prevalent in Southeast Asia, now has spread to other countries. Worldwide cost of dengue is estimated US 9 billion. There are five strains (serotypes) of the virus, distinction between serotypes are based on the antigenicity. The course of disease is divided into three phases,febrile, critical, and recovery. The critical phase may proceed to organ dysfunction,severe bleeding and dengue shock-syndrome, and dengue hemorrhagic fever. Diagnosis is made clinically on the reported symptoms, physical examination, with low white blood cell count, low platelet and metabolic acidosis...............

Abstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is a lung disease characterised by chronic obstruction of lung airflow that interferes with normal breathing and is not fully reversible. COPD causes coughing that produce large amounts of mucus, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and other symptoms.1 Secretions produced in the respiratory tract are cleared by mucociliary transport, cephalad airflow bias, and cough. There is need to find an alternate cost effective, easy technique for secretion removal. 4An intervention like huff training could help better in clearance of airways. Clinically it is observed that its is difficult for persons with airflow obstruction to do the act of Huff to clear the secretions........

Abstract: Lipid abnormalities in patients with diabetes play an important role in development of atherogenesis. Diabetes is now commonly recognized as a coronary heart disease risk equivalent 1,2,2,4.This is mainly attributed to the high rates of dyslipidemia among diabetic patients which is believed to be one of the major factors accounting for the high percentage of deaths among diabetics due to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Lipid abnormalities in patients with diabetes play an important role in development of atherogenesis. Our study aims to compare the efficacy of atorvastatin 40 mg daily and rosuvastatin...........

Abstract: Tooth ankylosis is the union of the tooth root to the alveolar bone, with local elimination of the periodontal ligament. The etiologies of dental ankylosis include trauma, genetic factors, local metabolic anomalies, deficiency of alveolar bone growth, and abnormal pressure of the soft tissues. An ankylosed tooth can lead to serious clinical problems such as vertical alveolar bone loss, midline deviation, tipping of adjacent teeth, impaction of the ankylosed tooth, and supraeruption of the opposing tooth. The diagnosis of ankylosis can be made by both clinical and radiologic evaluations..........

Abstract: In diffuse gastric polyposis, all or a large part of the gastric mucosa is covered with polyps. Diffuse gastric polyposis was accidentally found in a 45 years old male during study of his anaemia. The diagnosis was confirmed by oesophagogastroduodenoscopy and endoscopic biopsy. Very few cases reported those managed by laproscopically. We did a laparoscopic assisted distal gastrectomy with loop gastro gastrojejunostomy and feeding jejunostomy .Differential diagnosis of inherited gastrointestinal polyposis syndrome should be considered.malignant potential is the greast concern.

Abstract: Aim: The study was to evaluate the effect of multiple file system (Revo S) versus single file system (one shape) on the dentine thickness in the root canal. Materials and Methods: In this study, 30 freshly extracted human mandibular first molars were taken. Mesiobuccal canal of mandibular first molar was selected for this study. All the teeth were categorized into two groups namely Group I: Revo -S Group II: One Shape. Endodontic access was prepared in each tooth, and working length was determined using 15-k file. Pre-operative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan of the teeth was taken. Cleaning and shaping of the canal was done according to the manufacturer's instruction of file system. Post instrumentation CBCT scan of teeth was taken. The difference in the area was calculated and statistical difference was analyzed............

Abstract: Anal fistula is among the most common illnesses affecting man. The majority of fistulas unrelated to specific causes (eg. Tuberculosis, Crohn's disease) result from infection (abscess) in anal glands extending from the inter sphincteric plane to various anorectal spaces. Complex variety is encountered in very few patients, which required special treatment for its cure. Extra sphincteric fistulas occur in only 5% of total fistula-in-ano patients. We would like to report an unusual case of fistula-in-ano, where its tract reached to the right side of lower back region.

Abstract: Background: Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is "a chronic disorder commonly occurs in elderly people usually women with or without skin involvement". Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent vasoconstrictor implicated in vascular biology and tumor carcinogenesis. The current study investigates the level of salivary ET-1 in OLP patients and a control group. Patients and Methods: saliva samples were collected from 32 OLP patients and 30 apparently healthy subjects. ET-1 levels were measured by ELISA, and the results were evaluated with a Mann-Whitney U Test for statistical analysis........
