Abstract: A number of factors like genetic, intrauterine infection and maternal nutritional deficiencies are involved in complex development of brachial apparatus and cochlea formation. The child should be examined thoroughly for other organ developmental anomalies. The counseling and children management should be considered hand by hand..

Key words: brachial apparatus, cochlea, developmental anomalies.

Abstract: Anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS) has been recognized as an important cause of autoimmune inflammatory myopathy in a subset of patients with polymyositis and dermatomyositis. Its hallmark is thepresence of serum antibodies to aminoacyl-transfer RNA synthetases and is characterized by a constellation of manifestations. Clinicians should be familiar with this entity. There is favourable response to steroids and immunosuppressants. We describe here a case of ASS presenting with myositis, interstitial lung disease(ILD), fever, deforming arthritis and Raynaud's phenomenon who had high titre of anti jo-1antibodies.The patient responded well to steroids and cyclophosphamide pulse..

Abstract: Ovarian cysts are common cause for gynaecological surgery. Some Ovarian cysts arise due to endocrine disorders and hence don't require any surgical intervention. Hypothyroidism should be considered in the differential diagnosis in females of reproductive age presenting with ovarian cysts/tumours. Adequate Hormone therapy can prevent these patients from undergoing unnecessary ovarian resection and compromised fertility in the future...

Abstract: Plasma is known as 'fourth state of matter'. Plasma is two types: thermal and non-thermal or cold atmospheric plasma. Electrons and heavy particles (neutral and ions) present at the same temperature in Thermal plasma. Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) is said to be non-thermal because it has electron at a hotter temperature than the heavy particles that are at room temperature. This review demonstrates different application of plasma in dentistry like effect of plasma on dental implant, dental cavity decontamination, sterilization, root canal disinfection, tooth whitening, polymerization etc..

Abstract: Type 2 Diabetes patients with Diabetic nephropathy and background hypertension have excessive cardiovascular mortality. It is thus important to know the electrocardiographic changes occurring in patients of Diabetic nephropathy especially in Type 2 Diabetes mellitus and with background hypertension whose prevalence is increasing in Indian population and also worldwide. The objective of this study was to find out the prevalence of cardiovascular ailments in Type 2 Diabetic patients with nephropathy and background hypertension and to help clinicians with screening, diagnosis and timely decision making and also in future and ongoing research. The study was conducted over 100 patients with Diabetic nephropathy of Type 2 Diabetes with background hypertension attending the outpatient and inpatient services of RIMS, Ranchi, India. The study was approved by the ethical committee of the institute..........

Abstract: The focused abdominal sonogram in trauma (FAST) is a focused, goal directed, sonographic examination of the abdomen aimed at detecting the presence or absence ofhaemoperitoneum.Aims and objectives:To determine the importance of use of FAST in cases of blunt abdominal trauma by surgeon in diagnosis of haemoperitoneum and compared with laparotomy findings. Material and methods-The present prospective study was conducted at surgery department in Rajendra institute of medical sciences, Ranchi, Jharkhand between march 2014 to February 2015. Results-10 scan performed by surgeon in blunt abdominal trauma cases. Mean age of the patients is 25.0 [ 12-45 ] yrs. Male :female ratio is 3:2. Majority of cases are due to road traffic accident (60%). All the 10 cases when compared with per-operative findings haemoperitoneum was present in all cases[table-1]. Sensitivity was found to be 100%. Per-operative findings are , 6 cases with gut injury, 2 cases with mesenteric injury, 2 cases with solid organ injury.

Abstract: Age estimation of children and adolescents is essential to answer a variety of legal questions, including issues of status of majority and criminal liability. The teeth are useful predictors of age in this age-group, particularly because of their relative accuracy and also because of the lack of other reliable predictors. Aim:To estimate the Dental age using modifiied Demirjian's method and India specific formula and to correlate it with the chronological age of children and adolescents of south Kerala origin by using panoramic radiographs.Methods:By using Digital OPGs of 100 subjects aged between 8 & 18 years (50 males & 50 females), dental age was estimated by using modified Demirjian's method and India specific formula. Spearman rank correlation test was done to assess the correlation between dental age (DA) and chronological age (CA). Results &Conclusion:The mean CA was.......

Abstract: Forty Diabetics (DM Type-2) were studied to assess Cardiac autonomic dysfunction by a series of five simple non-invasive tests in order to determine the incidence of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve dysfunctions. Out of 40 DM Type-2 subjects, 23 (57.5%) patients had cardiac autonomic neuropathy.Incidence of parasympathetic autonomic neuropathy was 57.5 % in comparison to sympathetic autonomic neuropathy, which was 20%, suggesting that parasympathetic pathway may be more sensitive for detection of cardiac autonomic neuropathy. Highest incidence of cardiac autonomic neuropathy has been observed between the age group of 51 to 60 years and as the duration of disease increases the incidence of cardiac autonomic neuropathy also increases.

Abstract: The aim of study is know the severity of dengue illness in children based on range of hepatic involvement and to know relation between liver enzyme derangements and severity of dengue illness which can help in prognostication of the disease. This prospective observational study is conducted from January 2016 to December 2016. During the study period 100 cases of serologically diagnosed dengue fever cases were studied for liver involvement. Among these 100 cases 48 were classical dengue fever (DF) and 52 were severe dengue fever (SDF) and 51% of the children were within 5-9 years of age. Deranged total bilirubin, serum albumin, AST, ALT and ALP is present in 23%, 79%, 87%, 73% and 80% of patients respectively. The mean total bilirubin and serum albumin levels were 1.48 mg/dl and 2.9 gm/dl respectively. The mean Aspartate Transaminase (AST), Alanine Transaminase........

Abstract: Diabetes is a chronic illness that re-quires continuing medical care and patient self-management education to prevent acute complications and to reduce the risk of long-term complications. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) has increased enormously as there were an estimated 30 million cases in 1985 versus 177 million in 2000 1. Based on these current trends, >360 million individuals will have diabetes by the year 2030 and the increased prevalence of type 2 DM is likely due to increased obesity and reduced activity levels.We conducted a study to find out the knowledge and practice related to self care among diabetic patients and to assess the improvement in knowledge and practice after health education.It was an Interventional ( experimental) study by taking a pre.............

Abstract: Fine Needle Aspiration cytology (FNAC) of thyroid gland is firmly established as an important test for the evaluation of thyroid disease and an effective test for the preoperative diagnosis of solitary thyroid nodule. This study was undertaken to determine the correlation between the FNAC and histopathologic diagnosis of the thyroid lesions. Total 179 cases were included in this study. All had FNAC thyroid.Out of the total 179 patients studied, 123 were cases of benign thyroid lesions,14 were malignant, 3 were inadequate, and 39 were follicular neoplasm. Histopathology of 48 thyroid specimens showed 17 colloid and nodular goiter,3 colloid cyst,1 thyroglossal duct cyst, 1 Hashimoto's thyroiditis,1 granulomatous thyroiditis, 11 Follicular adenoma,1 hurthle cell adenoma, 7 Papillary carcinoma and 4 Follicular carcinomas and 2 cases turned out to be false negative.By comparing........
