Abstract: Aim: To analyse risk factors associated with delayed dislocation of IOLs. Methods: Hospital based prospective intervention study during 1997-2012.All cases of IOLs dislocated after 6 months were included. Investigations included B scan and MRI was done in cases with h/o trauma. Multivariate analysis to detect risk factors was done Results: Total 25 cases of delayed dislocation out of 12000 pseudophakic. Mean age: 63.2 years, with M: F-5:1. Mean interval: 6.5 years.12 Iris claw lenses dislocated in AC, easily fixated with good visual outcome,3 cases of PCIOL with IOFB detected on MRI,5 cases of trauma with perfect capsulorrhexis, 2 cases of pseudo exfoliation ,2 cases had longer axial length(>26mm).All cases had significant visual loss. Multivariate analysis confirmed occult IOFB, trauma, iris fixation, long axial length as risk factors. Conclusion: Undetected IOFB, iris atrophy and larger eyeball may predispose to delayed dislocation of IOL

Abstract: Background: Surgical repair of inguinal hernia is one of the most commonly performed operations in general surgery worldwide. Hernia repair is commonly done under general or spinal anaesthesia but the advent of day care surgery has prompted renewned interest in the use of local anaesthesia for open hernia surgeries. Objectives: to compare the outcome of hernia repair done under spinal and local anaesthesia in relation to intra operative and post operative events. Materials and methods: We carried out a prospective study of 60 patients who were admitted with inguinal hernia. Patients were randomized into two groups of 30 each -the study group, group A (where local anesthesia was used) and the controll group, group B (where spinal anaesthesia was used ) by lottery method.............

Abstract: Background and Objectives: Although fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is considered to be the reference method for evaluating thyroid nodules, the results are often inaccurate in approximately 10-30% of cases. In many cases the preoperative clinical evaluation (CE), FNAC and ultrasound (US) evaluation fail to diagnose a case of thyroid cancer and may require a second surgery for completion Thyroidectomy. This review aims to compare the clinical, ultrasound, and fine needle aspiration methods that can be used for thyroid nodule management..............

Abstract: Melanin pigmentation often occurs in the gingiva as a result of excess deposition of melanin, due to which the gingiva appears black. Though, it is not pathological, many people complain of dark gums as unaesthetic. Gingiva is the most frequently pigmented intraoral tissue, with more pigmentation concentrated in the incisor region which may interfere with the smile line and patient may feel conscious about the appearance. In such patients, aesthetic periodontal plastic surgery can give excellent results. In this context we have attempted a case series of depigmentation in the anterior region.............

Abstract: Ayurveda has given utmost importance to puerperium (sutikawastha). During puerperium the body tissue, especially the pelvic tissue reverts back approximately to the pre pregnant state both Anatomically and physiologically. One of the most important retrogressive change is involution of uterus. If uterine involution takes place properly the uterine strength and its function is restored. If the involution is affected adversely it leads to subinvolution. Cleaning of uterus (garbhashayshodhan) has been advised during puerperium as it enhances the involution. In the present study Aloes (kumari ghan) is used for cleaning of uterus (garbhashay shodhan) in puerperium and is found to be very effective in uterine involution.

Abstract: Dismembered Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty is the Gold standard surgical treatment for uretero-pelvic junction obstruction. Revision of the renal pelvis treats the obstruction by excising the stenotic adynamic area of the uretero-pelvic junction and creating a more capacious conduit using the tissue of the remaining ureter and renal pelvis.This study focuses on the various indications, techniques, advantages, disadvantages and postoperative outcome of open pyeloplasty and laparoscopic pyeloplasty. A total of 110 children with PUJ obstruction were taken up for study of which 68 were males and 42 females. They were evaluated using renal parameters, ultrasound, Voiding cystourethrogram and DTPA. Patients were randomly taken up for open or laparoscopic pyeloplasty.............

Abstract: Stroke presenting as contralateral hemiparesis is predominantly related to contralateral projection of the corticospinal tract. While most corticospinal fibers decussate at the level of the medulla, some tracts continue to descend as ipsilateral anterior corticospinal fibers. The anterior corticospinal tract (CST) has been suggested as one of the ipsilateral motor pathways which contribute to motor recovery following stroke. Few case reports in literature show ipsilateral hemiparesis due to involvement of anterior corticospinalfibers.There is an association in patients with congenital uncrossed corticospinal tracts and posterior fossa malformations. There was also a high correlation of ipsilateral hemiparesis.............

Abstract: Saliva, a bodily fluid is known to express several proteins on it's own and secretions that diffuse secondarily from the serum. Such an expression is seen in normal physiology and also in pathology. Expression of serum renal function markers – creatinine and urea in saliva has gained greater attention in recent times towards research based on using saliva as a non-invasive diagnostic method. However, there are several isolated studies based on clinical criterias that discuss about the use of saliva as a diagnostic method in patients with chronic kidney disease. This article aims to present an over view of the available literature and discuss about current proceedings and possiblities for future directions.

Abstract: The name AMYLOID is attributed to the pathologist Virchow, who in 1854 thought such deposits in autopsy liver were cellulose because of their peculiar staining reaction with iodine and sulphuric acid.Amyloidosis is a term applied to a heterogeneous group of rare diseases characterized by extracellular deposition of amyloid (insoluble fibrillary proteins) causing target-organ dysfunction and a wide range of clinical symptoms . These symptoms depend on the organ involved, and include nephrotic syndrome, hepatosplenomegaly, congestive heart failure, carpal tunnel syndrome, gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and macroglossia.

Abstract: The increased desire of patients to maintain their dentition has forced dental specialist to conserve the teeth in the mouth which are planned to be removed. In the light of this finding it is known that periodontally compromised teeth with severe bone loss at furcation area or endodontically compromised teeth may well be retained of their roots. This type of surgical therapy enables clinicians to better access the remaining tooth structure for periodontal and subsequent prosthetic therapy. In this case report palatal root resection of the right first maxillary molar with a simple procedure is presented along with a brief review of root resection as a treatment modality.

Abstract: The infection of the root canal system is polymicrobial in nature, caused by both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Because of the persistent and recurrent feature of the root canal infection, it is unlikely that any single antibiotic could result in effective sterilization of the canal. A combination of antibiotic drugs (metronidazole, ciprofloxacin and minocycline) is thus used to eliminate target bacteria, which are the possible sources of root canal infection. Two case reports describe the nonsurgical endodontic treatment of teeth with large periapical lesions...............

Abstract: Epidermal cyst arising from breast is an uncommon benign condition. Its rarity accounts for it being erroneously misdiagnosed. The patient may not seek medical attention because of small painless swelling, unless the lump increases in size or becomes painful. Symptomatic cases should be readily excised and need histological correlation to rule out any potential complications that can arise in these cysts.
