Abstract: Dicofenac patch is a novel approach to a less invasive advent of analgesia. Most of the older versions of analgesia were one or other way invasive, which needs the assistance of medical or para medical staff.In older methods like intramuscular or intravenous strict sterile precautions are necessary for proper outcome, sterility of the needle or person who is administering it is needed. Here this method eliminates the need for multiple injections, avoids first pass metabolism and is unaffected by first pass metabolism, definitive role in topical anaesthesia, acute pain management musculoskeletal and neuropathic pain. Diclofenac patches are available at strengths of 100mg, 200mg...........

Abstract: Objective: Thalassemia trait is commonly seen in Indian population especially in certain communities like Sindhis, Kachchis, Gujaratis& Bengalis. The individuals having thalassemia trait usually have asymptomatic course &have mild microcytic hypochromic anemia. Since the other cause of microcytic anemia is iron deficiency, it is important to differentiate it from and thalassemia trait. Though the definitive diagnosis of thalassemia trait is possible only by Hb electrophoresis, there are certain blood indices which can differentiate between thalassemia trait and Iron deficiency anemia. Mentzer index is such an index. The aim of our study was to evaluate the reliability of Mentzer index in the differentiation of iron deficiency anemia and Thalassemia trait.............

Abstract: Various methods and scoring systems are used to identify the risks and morbidity and mortality in patients with peritonitis due to hollow viscus perforation. Early assessment by scoringsystems will influence the management and prognosis. Various factors like age, sex, duration, site of perforation, extent of peritonitis and delay in surgical intervention are associated with morbidity and mortality.Our study aims to predict the effectiveness of Mannheim Peritonitis Index scoring in predicting the morbidity and mortality due to hollow viscus perforation. This prospective observational study was conducted in patients presenting with peritonitis due to hollow viscus perforation to EMERGENCY OPD, at Bokaro General Hospital, Bokaro Steel City, India from both rural and urban area. A total of..............

Abstract: Acute fatty liver of pregnancy(AFLP) is a potentially fatal liver disorder of pregnancy, whose clinical diagnosis is difficult. We present a 28year old primigravida at 34weeks with singleton pregnancy who was referred with altered liver function tests(LFT) and renal failure. Based on clinical features and investigations we diagnosed the case as AFLP. She had multi organ dysfunction(MODS) and despite of rigorous ICU management, she was deteriorating. She responded to induction of labour and a dead fetus was delivered vaginally; but she ultimately succumbed to her condition after 13 days.
Key words: AFLP, altered LFT, renal failure, multiorgan dysfunction, induction of labour

Abstract: With the consistently advancing orthodontic practices, the idea of self-ligation is promptly acknowledged by clinicians over the globe. Before long, stainless steel and elastomeric ligatures will turn into an obsolete clearing a path for more comfortable and easy to use self-ligating appliances. Self ligating framework gives an additional preferred standpoint of diminished ligation time and diminished friction in this manner decreasing anchorage demand. Considering the upsides of self-ligating brackets for the clinician, staff, and patient, they may well turn into the ―conventional‖ appliance system of the 21st century. This article features different self-ligating systems from the past to present to help in selection of choice in order to utilize this current system features to the best possible extent.

Abstract: Gastroprotective effects of Moringa oleifera was studied in 15 Wistar albino rats of both sexes weighing 350 - 450 g body weight (wt.).The rats were randomly allocated into 3 groups of 5 rats per group.Method for the preparation of animals and the surgical procedure were done according to the method of Ibu et al., 1986. Group 1 served as control (CTR) , group2 as acid alcohol (AA) alone and group3 moringa + acid alcohol ( MA) group. Results showed that moringa oleifera prevented ulceration when administered before acid acohol . There was significant difference between group 1 and group 2; group 2 and group3 ( p< 0.01). Moringa oleifera significantly offered gastroprotection against acid alcohol induced ulcer. it is concluded that moringa oleifera offers cytoprotection against acid-alcohol induced gastic ulcer.

Abstract: Background and Aims: Epidural labor analgesia has become a milestone in obstetric analgesia with anaesthesiologists worldwide us-ing it on parturients for painless and safe childbirth. This survey aims to look at the anaesthesiologists' know-ledge on epidural labor analgesia, their attitude towards its routine use against their ages, gender and years of experience, how often they practiced it and whether their personal experience influenced their practice. Material and Methods: The study is designed as a cross-sectional descriptive survey. Sixty-two anaesthesiologists working in govern-ment hospitals of eastern India responded to the study. Data was collected using a likert type questionnaire send through digital mail. Statistical analysis was done be The Statistical Package for Social Sciences 20. Results:...........
Key Messages: The increased availability of epidural labor analgesia and positive experiences of parturients who have had painless labor has reshaped the belief of women today. It is therefore important that care provid-ers are fully acquainted with epidural labor analgesia. The purpose of this survey is to study the knowledge, attitude and practice of epidural analgesia in labor among anaesthesiologists at government hospitals of east-ern India..

Abstract: INTRODUCTION – Hairs are non- vital but have very importance in our personality. We all pay attention to improve quantity and quality of hair for cosmetic reason s . But we want remove our Body hair for same cosmetic reason. By This article we can knew all about our hairs (Head + body hairs).Because only modern human beings have long hairs on head and short hairs on rest of the body. Primitive man has large hairs .But when man move from one place to other for hunting ,physical appearance of human get changed for counteract heat and parasites .CONCLUSION- During evolution changes have occurred. Further now –a – days mostly man face with problem of hair fall. BY Medications and by hair transplantation (in baldness) we maintain hairs on our head .Although hair-fall is a natural processes(in limited number) .Old hair fall and new healthy hairs grow in place of damaged hairs (Hair growth cycle).
