Abstract: Aim; The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of intravenous Magnesium to intravenous Paracetamol on postoperative analgesic requirement in major surgeries under general anaesthesia ., Materials And Methods: After taking ethical committee approval 60 patients belonging to ASA grade 1 & 2 were randomly divided into two groups Group P and Group M. Group P received 15mg/kg of intravenous paracetamol and Group M received 20mg/kg of intravenous magnesium sulphate immediately after intubation. Results: comparatively Group M,Group P patients had lower post operative pain and consumed less analgesic drugs during the first 48 hours.There is no significant variation in heart rate ,systolic and diastolic pressures in both groups. Conclusion: Intraoperative use of paracetamol infusion proved to produce more postoperative analgesia than with use of intravenous magnesium sulphate.

Abstract: Dental caries is a highly prevalent multifactorialinfectious disease that afflicts a large proportionof the world's population. Detecting pathologies at their earlieststages can significantly affect patient discomfort, prognosis, therapeuticintervention, survival rates, and recurrence. Saliva has the potential to be used in the early detection and diagnosis of caries. This is due to the abundant biomarkers presentin saliva. This paper is aimed to compose a systematic review about the potential salivary biomarkers of dental caries.

Abstract: Diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DAN) is a serious & common complication of diabetes often overlooked & misdiagnosed. The aim of present study is to observe the presenting manifestations of autonomic neuropathy in diabetes. Material & Methods: 94 diabetes patients proven with blood sugar fasting & post prandial & HbA1c value of RIMS Ranchi Jharkhand India were evaluated for presence or absence of autonomic neuropathy symptoms to diagnose DAN. Battery of tests devised by Ewing & Clarke et al. was done. Tran abdominal USG was done before voiding, and then patients were directed to void urine after that USG was done to look for post-void residue urine volume. Observation: out of 94 patients 67 (71%) had one or more tests positive for parasympathetic dysfunction & 44 patients (47%) was positive for sympathetic dysfunction. Advanced CAN was present in 34 patients (37%) & 38 patients (40%) had early CAN. Out of 94 patients, 50 patients (53%) had post-void residual urine volume ≥ 100 ml while 44 patients (47%) had post-void residual volume < 100 ml..

Abstract: Intraoperative consultation with the Pathologist is required in oncological surgeries in deciding about the margin status, nodal deposits and sometimes to establish the primary diagnosis. This is done with the use of Cryostat , commonly known as Frozen section where tissue is frozen in a refrigerated chamber and sections are cut and stained and reports can be communicated to the surgeon within 20 minutes of receiving the specimen. In our study we have analysed retrospectively such material received during a period of one year in the Oncopathology Department and the results are compared to permanent sections prepared using conventional methods to look for any discrepancy. The study also included the type of tissue received for frozen section and the various types of reports requested during a surgical procedure.

Abstract: Fingerprint patterns and blood groups are two invaluable tools for forensic identification. The aim of this study was to detect any significant relationship of fingerprint pattern with ABO-Rhesus blood groups. The study was conducted among 68 medical students. Loop pattern is most common dactylographic pattern followed by whorl and arch pattern. Predominant blood group is B+ve followed by A+ve and O+ve. AB+ve is the least common blood group. In blood group A, B and O loop pattern is most common but in AB blood group loop and whorl have same distribution. In Rh+ individual loop pattern is dominant but in Rh- group whorl pattern is most common dactylographic pattern. In blood group A+, B+ and O+ loop pattern is most common but in AB+ group both loop and whorl patterns predominate. In B-ve group whorl is the most common dactylographic pattern.

Abstract: Introduction: Myiasis - a parasitic infestation of vital tissue of human or other mammals by dipterous larvae (maggots). Though myiasis in oral squamous cell carcinoma patient is rare entity, it is one of the possible risk factor for it in tropical countries. It is mostly due to poor oral hygiene, suppurative lesions, cancerous wounds, alcoholism, severe halitosis, senility, social boycott and also due to poor manual dexterity in mentally challenged patients. Materials and methods :The aim of the present article is to highlight the occurrence of oral myiasis in association with oral squamous cell carcinoma and to know its incidence in relation to socio economic class, male: female ratio, occupation, site of carcinoma and also to accent the preventive aspects of it. Results:In this study we have found male.............

Abstract: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious condition associated with premature mortality, decreased quality of life, and increased health-care expenditures. The prevalence of end-stage renal disease continues to rise worldwide.However, many patients with chronic kidney disease have cardiovascular disease and die prematurely from this condition instead of surviving long enough to face dialysis or transplantation.Furthermore, people with chronic kidney disease tend to have an excess of traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia.Atherosclerosis unless in a severe form is often asymptomatic, so that a direct examination of vessel wall is necessary to detect affected individuals in early stages. It has been suggested by International Atherosclerosis Project that atherosclerotic process occurs at the same time in carotid, cerebral and coronary arteries.Carotid artery Intimal Medial Thickness (CIMT) is well-established index of systemic atherosclerosis that correlates well with the incidence of coronary heart disease and stroke...... .

Abstract: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a vasoproliferative disease of developing retina which occurs principally in premature (<32 weeks of gestation) or low birth weight (<1500-1600 grams) babies or infants who have been on oxygen for long time. It was initially identified way back in 1940-41 after second world war. However, it has suddenly become an important focus point in today's context because of its increased incidence not only in western, but also in developing countries like India due to advancement of neonatal care facilities, causing national as well as global emphasis on this disease. Another important reason is the number of blind years, which in children is about 60 years as compared to 10-20 years in adults. This plays an important role in economic and social structure and productivity of any community and Nation. That is why we conducted this study by screening of high risk patients for ROP.

Abstract: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a damaging condition lasting three or more months at a time. It is marked by structural and functional damage to the kidneys leading to a reduced glomerulal filtration. The increased relative share of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease is being linked to the rise of frequency of diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension. Secondary hyperparathyroidism is a very early violation of CKD, wherein establishes hyperphosphatemia, elevated levels of PTH, hypertrophy of the parathyroid glands. This condition is associated with high morbidity and mortality, an increased cardiovascular risk, loss of bone. - bone demineralization............

Abstract: Now-a-days the magnitude of the upswing in overweight and obesity prevalence has become an important health problem in developing countries particularly in India.1. Studies have been reported regarding the relationship between different obesity markers and PFTs, but most of these tests were conducted in males, in children or in older age group. Studies in young adults is conspicuously absent, especially in India and it is a well-known fact that it is the young adults who are suffering from the killing disease called obesity. So the purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of pulmonary functions with BMI and body fat percentage in young medical students of Eastern India who represent the young adult population and who are the future medical advisors to the society. A prospective correlational study carried among 100 healthy medical students from both the sexes of their age group of............

Abstract: Many scoring systems have been used in various PICUs to predict mortality, also to compare functioning of different PICUs and assess their manner of resources consumption. Patient mortality is affected by many factors i.e. clinical condition of the patient, demographic profile and clinical characteristics of population, hospital management and organization, case mix and admission practices. It is desirable that these scoring systems should be independent of time and place. Therefore, there is a need of testing scoring systems in settings different from the one in which they were originally developed. PRISM scoring system was developed by Pollack et. al. based on physiological variables. This prospective analytical study was carried out to validate PRISM III scoring system in predicting...............

Abstract: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a common condition in otorhinolaryngology. Ossicular erosion is most commonly seen in atticoantral type i.e. CSOM with cholesteatoma. However it has been well established that ossicular erosion can be seen even in tubotympanic type of CSOM.Discontinuity of ossicular chain is typically confirmed only at surgery but there are various type of preoperative parameter described in studies that can predict the presence of ossicular erosion thus helping us to further plan for the ossicular reconstruction. One of the modality that may beuseful in ascertaining ossicular integrity is preoperative HRCT scan of temporal bone but low affordability............
