Abstract: Introduction: Serum lactate dehydrogenase (S.LDH) is raised in many inflammatory disorders. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory disease; S.LDH is expected to rise according to the severity of the disease. Synovial fluid total LDH and its isoenzymes are increased in RA as per some studies. The aim of the present study was to check synovial fluid LDH hypothesis in systemic circulation by testing total S. LDH level in RA patients and correlating it with the severity of the disease. Methods: We have done a cross-sectional study of total 49 patients of rheumatoid arthritis after excluding cases of megaloblastic anaemia, malignancies, liver failure, cardiac failure, renal failure, severe osteoporosis, thyroid disorders and age below 18 years. CDAI and DAS 28 CRP were calculated,serum LDH level more than 3 times of mean normal value (288 IU) was considered..........

Abstract: Isolated ilial perforation(IIP) caused by blunt abdominal trauma is uncommon and most often seen after motor ve-hicle accidents. We present a case of single perforation of the ilium in a young male who was admitted to our hospital with intense abdominal pain following fall by itshelf on stairs. Although the erect chest radiograph was negative for free air, abdominal com-puted tomography scan revealed GI perforation. The exploratory laparotomy that followed revealed only a 1 cm perforation of the ilium at messentric border, 90 cm from the iliocaecal junction. Although our experience as a trauma center is limited, clinical suspicion and timely exploration in this case led to prompt surgical intervention and a successful outcome. Key Words: Blunt; ilium; perforation; trauma Since Samuel Annan reported the frst case of intestinal rupture secondary to blunt trauma in 1837. there have been abundant publications on...........

Abstract: Background: Tobacco use is a major public health problem worldwide. It is estimated that 7 million people die each year from tobacco use. The prevalence of tobacco use is rising in adolescents and young adults. Teenagers easily get influenced by their peers and media to experiment substances like tobacco. Due to lack of awareness on the harmful nature, addictive potential and long-term effects of tobacco use, college students tend to start tobacco consumption. Hence, the present study was done to assess the prevalence, determinants and attitudes of tobacco use among college students in Visakhapatnam. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in two randomly selected colleges in Visakhapatnam for one month.......

Abstract: This is a clinical case of a mandibular first molar with four root canals using a one shape rotary file system. Successful root canal treatment depends on proper cleaning, shaping and compact filling of the root canal under aseptic conditions. With the use of a new file system-one shape, a standard procedure can be carried out with minimal fatigue along the length of the file which virtually eliminates the risk of separation including its simplified handling of instrument sequences. Oneshape file system provides quality root canal shaping with one single instrument with remarkable design. With the use of this rotary file, a root canal treatment is approximately 4 times faster than a conventional treatment. Also, the overall duration of treatment is shortened.

Abstract: Plasma cell leukemia (PCL)is an uncommon, aggressive variant of lymphoproliferative disorder that may occur de novo (primary) or in association with multiple myeloma (secondary) . Primary PCL is a distinct clinicopathological entity with different cytogenetic abnormalities and molecular findings from multiple myeloma. Secondary PCL is seen in advanced myeloma. The diagnostic criteria are based on the percentage (>20%) and absolute number (2000/ml) of plasma cells in peripheral blood. Clinical course is aggressive with poor survival rate.We report a case of plasma cell leukemia detected incidentally when the patient was being evaluated for gastrointestinal symptoms. Peripheral blood showed >20 % plasma cells & absolute plasma cell count was much more than cut off limit of >2000/ml.Further bone marrow aspiration ,biopsy showed plasma cell precursors & sr electrophoresis showed M.........

Abstract: Introduction: Coronary heart Disease (CHD) considered to be man's disease, is also a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in middle aged women throughout world. Coronary manifestations occurs approximately 20 years later in women as compared to men and may have atypical presentations. The poor prognosis in women due CHD has been attributed to advanced age, concomitant medical illnesses, late presentation because of atypical presentations, ignorance of seriousness of the disease and delayed treatment. Materials and Methods: 80 consecutive female patients admitted in the Department of Medicine(Cardiology) at Govt. Villupuram medical college from 1st June 2017 to 31st May 2018 were included in the study. Informed consent, demographic profile and risk factors were recorded.

Abstract: Introduction Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is of varied etiology, anatomic and physiological variations may play significant rolesin its aetiopathogenesis. Use of nasal Endoscopes and Computerised Tomographic scanshave improved both the diagnostic and therapeutic management of CRS. Most centres in sub-Saharan Africa rely on less detailedmethods in clinical evaluation without the use of endoscopes and Computerised Tomographic scans which have been proven to be indispensable tools in CRS management. Several studies in many parts of the world have given different results on the role of the nasal anatomical variations in causing CRS; this study will provide an idea on the role of these variations in CRS in this sub region.
