Abstract: The pattern of childhood blindness changes depending on the accessibility of affordable health care services as well as socio-cultural factors. A major cause of childhood blindness in one country can be insignificant in another, and even over a decade the causes of childhood blindness can change quite dramatically in the same country. The variations in the major causes of blindness in pediatric age group from different parts of the world is determined by socioeconomic factors and the availability of primary eye care services. In developed countries, lesions of the retina, optic nerve and higher visual pathways predominate as the cause of blindness, whereas corneal scarring is the major cause in low-income countries.Retinopathy of prematurity is an important cause in middle-income countries.[1] This study will be aimed to find out the pattern of blindness due to optic nerve and retinal disorders in age group 0-16 years and address the patients through investigation, prevention, counselling, treatment, and low vision aids.
Keywords: childhood blindness, retina, optic nerve, visual pathways, corneal scarring, Retinopathy of prematurity

Abstract: Stress fractures of the tibia which occurs due to the osteoarthritic deformities are rare and pose a great challenge in management. We managed three such patients with stress fractures of proximal tibia with deformed osteoarthritic knee. All patients had established osteoarthritis of the knee; one patient with genu valgus deformity and the other two with genu varus deformity. All of them underwent a total knee replacement with a long tibial stem extension, and subsequently, their fractures united on followup. All three patients recovered uneventfully with good functional range of movements restored. Correction of extra –articular deformities with the restoration of normal knee mechanics and joint lines along with reduction of tension stresses on the bone and stabilisation of the associated stress fractures and replacement of the arthritic joints can all be done effectively with long stemmed modular total knee arthroplasty implants.

Abstract: Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer affecting Indian women and it is also the second most common cause for cancer deaths. The Papanicolaou smear test is currently the most widely used approach for detecting precancerous and cancerous lesions of cervix for which sensitization and motivation of women was required. Cancer of cervix is readily preventable, and can be diagnosed at the pre-invasive stage with adequate and repetitive cytological screening with Pap smear examination. Our district has large number of rural and tribal community, reaching, counseling and screening them with Pap smear is very difficult. An intense public health campaign to be conducted by Government on a regular and recurring basis. Objective: Retrospective study of cervical smear tests, aimed to analyze limitations in collection of Pap smears and barriers faced by medical staff and patients in.........

Abstract: Exotoxin A is an extracellular enzyme that is produced by most clinical strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa which inactivates and inhibits the protein biosynthesis. The present study aims to detect any possible correlation or any significant association between the production of exotoxin A and antibiotic resistance among P. aeruginosa clinical isolates or they can act independently, which might have implications for treatment and control. A Prospective study done on 60 isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa which included 30 ESBL and 30 Non- ESBL producers were randomly selected from total 203 isolates from various clinical samples in a tertiary care hospital , Puducherry. All isolates were screened for ESBL production using Phenotypic confirmatory disc diffusion test. Detection of Exotoxin A (toxA) gene expression were done by conventional PCR..Out of 60 clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.........

Abstract: We report an interesting case of Fitz- Hugh Curtis Syndrome (FHCS) in a 51-year-old Arab woman with a concomitant gallstone disease. She presented to us with recurrent right hypochondrial pain of 2 years duration, exacerbated by deep breathing, cough, and hiccups not associated with vomiting or nausea. Ultrasound showed tiny 2mm gallstones. Laparoscopy revealed extensive perihepatic "violin string" like adhesions and underwent Laparoscopic Adhesiectomy with Cholecystectomy .FHCS affects the adolescent, sexually active women and in men as well. Till date, only one case reported in a 56yr old female with Fitz Hugh Curtis Syndrome from Mexico [1]. To our knowledge, this is the second instance, such a case reported in a 51 year-old woman postmenopausal status with single partner.

Abstract: Background: Increasing evidence suggests that angiogenesis is an essential factor in the tumour growth, invasion and metastasis. Research on related parameters such as micro vessel density(MVD) could be helpful in predicting the tumour behavior. Recently, Endoglin (CD105) has been introduced as a new powerful marker of neoangiogenesis that stains vessels in the proliferating stage. Many studies revealed that Endoglin (CD105) was intensively expressed in the tumour vessels and therefore could be both predictive and prognostic marker for the outcome in various malignancies. Aims And Objectives: To determine and correlate the Endoglin (CD105) expression in normal oral mucosa, premalignant lesions of oral cavity and in oral squamous cell carcinoma. Materials And Methods: Thirty (30) cases of normal oral mucosa, thirty.........
