Abstract: Pulmonary embolism is one of the common diseases with high morbidity and mortality. It is the third most common cause of death after myocardial infarction and stroke. Because of its nonspecific clinical presentation, the condition is still difficult to diagnose clinically and is a major public health problem.Current practice of diagnosis of pulmonary thrombo embolism depends mainly on the computed tomography pulmonary angiography using iodinated contrast material. But in conditions of contraindications for usage of iodinated contrast material, the diagnostic efforts depend mainly on the conventional tools like conventional pulmonary angiography and lung perfusion scintigraphy (V/Q test). The aim of our study is to identify pulmonary embolism on Plain CT images itself using HU value difference between the pulmonary thrombus and the adjacent flowing blood. It is a retrospective study.............

Abstract: This is a prospective analytical study done in a group of 50 patients with perforative peptic ulcer at Govt. Rajaji Hospital, Madurai. The objective of the study is to analyse the two scores, The Peptic Ulcer Perforation Score and Jabalpur score. The study compares the positive predictive value and reliability of the prediction of the two scores. All data were analysed using SPSS Version for WINDOWS software. Area under Curve was calculated using Receiver operator Characteristic curves. PULP score apart from taking into account of all variables like vital measures, age, serum creatinine levels and time from perforation to operation, that were even included in the Jabalpur score, also pays significance to the past history of the patient. This inclusion has improved both the AUC and Positive predictive values of the PULP score.........

Abstract: Introduction: Benign lesions of the larynx constitute an interesting array of lesions. These lesions are defined as an abnormal mass of tissue in the larynx, the growth of which exceeds and is uncoordinated with that of the normal tissue and persist in the same excessive manner after cessation of stimuli which evoke the change. The aim of this study is to analyze over a period of 1 year, the demographics such as age, sex distribution, occupation, the site of involvement, symptomatology and prognosis of the most frequent benign lesions of larynx. Materials And Methods: Retrospective study of 70 patients who attended ENT OPD at Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital from May 2016 to May 2017 and diagnosed with non malignant lesion of larynx were followed up for a period of 6 months........

Abstract: Postoperative nausea and vomiting continues to be a common and distressing complication of surgery. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of preoperative volume loading with Ringer lactate solution on the incidence of PONV after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Materials and methods: Among sixty patients, aged 18-65 years, scheduled to undergo elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomized into two groups. Group A received intravenous ringer lactate of 2ml/kg/hr, whereas Group B received intravenous ringer lactate of 12ml/kg/hr. Rest of the anaesthesia protocol was similar in both groups. Parameters compared included intraoperative hemodynamics, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting during 0-5 hours and 6-24 hours in the postoperative period. Results:There was a significant reduction in the SBP in the Group A compared to the Group B after induction of anaesthesia. The drop in the mean SBP was 16% in Group A compared with 10.01% drop in the Group B on induction of anaesthesia.In the 0-5 interval the number of patients experienced no nausea..........

Abstract: Since its advent in 1981 by Dr. Archie Brain at the London hospital, the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) has turned out to be a boon for the anaesthesiologists .It not only forms an integral part of the difficult airway cart, but is also used outside the OT setup by the paramedics for securing airway. With growing emphasis on day care surgery, the LMA is into wider practice in recent times. The basis lies on the fact that the LMA insertion does not obviates the use of a depolarising muscle relaxant; use of induction agents, alone or in combination, is sufficient enough to obtund the upper airway reflexes of the patient for an easy insertion. The present study is designed using two of such induction agents, propofol and thiopentone, and a comparision is drawn as to which of the two induction agents facilitate an easy LMA insertion ensuring hemodynamic stability. Conditions for LMA insertion was graded on a three-point scale using six variables such as ease of insertion, jaw opening, coughing, gagging, etc. Our study concluded that Propofol at the dose of 2.5 mg/kg was superior to Thiopentone at the dose of 5 mg/kg as an induction agent for insertion of the laryngeal mask airway

Abstract: Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD)is separation of neurosensory retina from retinal pigment epithelium with accumulation of subretinal fluid within the potential space in between. RPE microvilli are inter-digitated to outer segments of photoreceptors allowing its phagocytosis.1-2., helping in cellular remodeling during outer segment renewal cycle. After surgical attachment this inter-digitation is important for functional recovery which starts within 3 days.3 The surgical repair of RRD can reverse many of the pathological changes noted during retinal detachment, although the functional prognosis depends in the status of the macua and duration of detachment4. Wolfensberger has also shown that in "off- macula" retinal detachments the delay in visual recovery can be due to persistant subretinal fluid at the macula..........

Abstract: The recurrent laryngeal nerves is present on both sides of the trachea, and at the point of entrance to the larynx they are located just lateral to the Berry ligament. They have important anatomic variations. Very rarely, the inferior laryngeal nerve exits the vagus nerve in the cervical region and enters the larynx with a short and straight course from its origin. This anomaly is called "non-recurrent laryngeal nerve". Injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve is a serious complication in thyroid and parathyroid surgery. Identification and preservation of recurrent laryngeal nerve (Inferior laryngeal nerve) is one of the most important step during Thyroid surgery. Very rarely, Thyroid surgeons may encounter a Non recurrent laryngeal nerve. A preoperative clinical suspicion, in case of an aberrant subclavian artery or situs inversus and a systematic meticulous dissection will help in the identification and preservation of a non recurrent laryngeal nerve In this case report, we present a non-recurrent laryngeal nerve abnormality........

Abstract: Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD)is separation of neurosensory retina from retinal pigment epithelium with accumulation of subretinal fluid within the potential space in between. RRD is caused by a full thickness break in the neurosensory retina which initiates separation of the neurosensory retina from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium. Vitreous synresis needs to be there foe seepage of SRF and detachment. Pediatric RRD has been reported in various parts of the worldto account for 3% to 12.6% of all patients with this clinical entity.1-4 Majority of RRD cases are caused by more than one retinal break, which needs to be kept in mind for appropriate surgical management. Myopia ,peripheral retinal degenerations, PVD, ocular trauma, previous cataract surgery are important predisposing factors. Patients may have RRD or break or lattice in the fellow eye representing an important risk of blateral visual loss..........

Abstract: Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD)is separation of neurosensory retina from retinal pigment epithelium with accumulation of sub-retinal fluid within the potential space in between. RRD is caused by a full thickness break in the neurosensory retina which initiates separation of the neurosensory retina from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium. Vitreous synresis needs to be there for seepage of SRF and detachment. OCT enables noncontact, noninvasive imaging of the anterior eye as well as of morphologic features of the human retina including the fovea and optic disc1-2using near infrared low coherent light passing through a Michelson interferometer to obtain two dimensional images of the retina and optic nerve head. OCT has gained popularity not only in medical retina, such as in cases of macular hole, retinal detachment, epiretinal membrane. Optical coherence tomographyis of two types- Time domain OCT and Spectral- domain or Fourier Domain OCT.The time domain OCT 3000 become available in 2002, with an axial resolution of 10μm and scan velocity of 400 axial scans per second. In 2004, higher resolution Spectral Domain OCT (SD-OCT) was introduced in clinical practice with reported resolution of 1 to 5 μm as well as improved visualization of retinal morphologic and pathologic features.............
