Abstract: Steroids have been used for the treatment of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) since the 1950s, while their clinical efficacy remains poorly defined. To date, there is still no strong evidence proving or denying the efficacy of high-dose methylprednisolone, and further studies are still merited for issues regarding steroids for GBS. In this study patients of GBS are treated with steroid as IVIG could not be given and the patients showed significant improvement. Thus this study states successful use of steroid in GBS, a therapeutic challenge.

Abstract: Leprosy is a chronic disease caused by a bacillus Mycobacterium Leprae. Leprosy currently affects a quarter of a million people throughout the world with a majority of them reporting from India.1 Very few studies have been carried out in the world to know the oral health status and treatment needs in people affected with leprosy. Hence the present study was planned: 1) to assess oral health status in a cohort of leprosy affected persons (LAPs), 2) to assess their knowledge, attitude and oral hygiene practices.A cross-sectional study was carried out in a tertiary care Municipal Hospital for leprosy. Demographic details were collected and a detailed oral examination was performed. Oral hygiene practices and clinical oral examination using natural light, oral hygiene aids, oral habits, decayed missing.......

Abstract: Intestinal obstruction in the newborn might be due to atresia, stenosis, annular pancreas, malrotations, duplication cysts, meconium ileus, meconium plug syndromes, neonatal small left colon syndrome, Hirschsprung's disease, neoplasias, trauma, and some other rare causes. Mesenteric cysts are rare intra-abdominal benign tumors without any characteristic clinical findings with an incidence of 1 per 100,000 up to 1 per 250,000 hospital admission. They have an identical pathogenesis, but may have different histopathological derivation and structures.Treatment of mesenteric cyst is indicated if it becomes symptomatic as a result of the enlargement of the cyst or complications.We outline the presentation, management and histological findings of 10 neonates who presented to this hospital from 2016–2017.Out of the 10, 3 were diagnosed antenatally and......

Abstract: Dental radiology have completely revolutionized the field of dentistry. For successful implant treatment, a presurgical treatment planning is most important. For this, diagnostic imaging plays a vital role. There are various imaging modalities available to aid in placing the implant in an appropriate location with relative ease and also get a predictable outcome. The various modalities described are intraoral radiography, cephalometric radiography, panoramic radiography, conventional tomography, computed tomography, cone-beam CT and magnetic resonance imaging. The choice of which imaging modality to use along with when to image, is dependent on a number of factors including determination of quality and quantity of bone to establish the most favorable position of implant placement...........

Abstract: Background Nutrition is a major determinant of a child's overall development and learning.1 The new trend of malnutrition, described as double burden of malnutrition, is one in which under-nutrition is coexisting with over-nutrition and is a major problem facing the world today, especially developing countries.2 The diminishing value towards healthy natural meals has led to over-nutrition.3 Approximately 300 million people globally are obese.4 There is an increase in the global prevalence of childhood obesity.5 The prevalence of overweight and obesity were reported as 13.7% and 5.2% respectively, among Nigerian preschool children,6 There are studies on the prevalence of overweight and obesity among adolescents7,8 but little is known about these burden among school age children........

Abstract: In women the most common invasive cancer is cervical cancer. The risk factor of cervical cancer is Risk factors can be genetic, but some lifestyle factors, such as alcohol intake. For colposcopy evaluation of cervix Inflammatory Pap smear is commonly use. Our aim of the study is to examine women with persistent inflammation on Pap smear need further evaluation with colposcopy. In this study was conducted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Institute of Child & Mother Health (ICMH) Dhaka, 2011 January to 2014 January where from total 1457 married non pregnant women only 140 case screened and examine who complained inflammatory cellular changes on pap smear. The patients age was ≥19 where age between 20-30 shows highest percentage of inflammatory cellular changes on pap smear and multipara was found 93% than primipara. During the study oral contraceptives.......

Abstract: Extraaxial Neoplasms represent a significant proportion of intracranial neoplasms. Early identification of the neoplasm and its location by imaging is essential for surgical planning. Meningiomas, being the most common have varied locations within the brain and have typical imaging features which aid in prompt diagnosis. Other neoplasms, although less typical, have certain characteristic features that when encountered make their diagnosis straightforward. A total of 38 patients diagnosed with supratentorial extraaxial neoplasms referred to department of department of radiodiagnosis over a period of 2 years were examined using Computerised Tomography and subsequently by Magnetic Resonance Imaging.......

Abstract: Negative Pressure Wound Therapy(NPWT) has remained one of the popular methods of managing complex wounds across surgical branches, including orthopaedics. Creating a sub atmospheric pressure on wound bed helps in granulation tissue formation. Many commercial forms of NPWT are being used worldwide. Unfortunately, these commercial devices comes with huge monetary burden to patient. In order to make this sub atmospheric therapy available to unaffordable patients many modifications have been made. This present study evaluates the efficacy of NPWT given by using locally available materialsat hospital and cost effectiveness of the treatment along with a review of literature. Methods and materials: The study included.......

Abstract: Three cases of prosthodontic management of malpositioned implants have been reported. Case I presented with a severe faciopalatal and a deep apicocoronal position of the implant. Definitive restoration was planned using a UCLA type plastic abutment to fabricate a framework over which a cementable coping was made. Case II presented with severe faciopalatal angulation of the implant. The definitive prosthesis was fabricated using a custom cast abutment. Direct Ceramic build up was done over the abutment and it was attached to the fixture with the abutment screw. Case III also reported with severe labial angulation of both the implants and definitive restoration was done with the help of UCLA type plastic abutment to design a customized framework for the definitive prosthesis. Soft tissue management for all the three cases was done with the use of gingival porcelain on the cervical portion of the metal-ceramic restoration. The use of customized and UCLA abutments presents an easy and cost effective way of functional and esthetic rehabilitation of malpositioned implants..

Abstract: Restricted mouth opening (microstomia) is a condition that hinders conventional prosthodontic treatment. The use of sectional or modified dentures and those with a small degree of flexibility has been reported in partially or totally edentulous patients. In the spirit of improving patients' quality of life, we have attempted, through this case report, to propose a real and convenient solution for a young patient with an oral sequela of head and neck radiotherapy.

Abstract: Objective: To identify trends inoccupational therapy research over ten yearsusing text analytic tools. Methods: Articles published in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy (AJOT) from 2007-2016 were retrieved from Pubmed and compiled in a database. The most frequently occurring words in the titles of these articles wereanalyzed using text analytics. Results: Based on the analysis of journal article titles, the most striking trendsthat were observed were a substantial increase in the number of articles related to intervention and assessment in children and adults, and a growing emphasis on the publication of systematic reviews. Conclusion: While this study provides a valuable insight into the trends in occupational therapy research, it does not elucidate the specific contents of these articles. Hence, more detailed investigations are necessary to identify the specific direction of occupational therapy research.
