Abstract: Idiopathic Sclerosing Encapsulating Peritonitis (Abdominal Cocoon) is a rare cause of small bowel obstruction. We present a case of acute small bowel obstruction in a young male preoperatively diagnosed as Idiopathic Sclerosing Encapsulating Peritonitis on computed tomography. A high index of clinical suspicion of such condition which can present with recurrent episodes of subacute intestinal obstruction supported by radiological investigations can help in preoperative diagnosis of such cases as most cases are incidentally diagnosed during laparotomy.
Keywords - Idiopathic Sclerosing Encapsulating Peritonitis, Abdominal Cocoon, laparotomy, small bowel obstruction.

Abstract: Central perforation of tympanic membrane of fifty patients were cauterized with 30 percent trichloroacetic acid having around 1-6mm size of perforation.Most of the cases that were undertaken were post traumatic and inflammatory in nature.The site of the perforations were mostly the anterioinferior and posterioinferior quadrants.Almost all the traumatic perforations were irregular in shape.The range of hearing loss was 15-40dB.TCA cauterization was undertaken after a discharge free period of atleast 3 weeks and in cases of traumatic perforations it was undertaken after 4 weeks for wait of spontaneous closure. In 4 cases we had to go for 4 attempts, in 2 cases for 6 attempts and the rest healed within 1-3 attempts of cauterization. In three cases there was no improvement in hearing ,and in 9 cases a mild gain in hearing.In this study,76% success rate has been achieved.
Key words:Trauma,Tympanic membrane perforation, Trichloroacetic acid, Hearing assessment.

Abstract: Teratoma comprised of mixed elements derived from the three germ cell layers.Sacrococcygeal teratoma is the most common congenital neoplasm in neonates.Fetiform teratoma is a rare but distinct entity characterized by presence of more organoid differentiation than the classical teratoma but not enough to classify as fetus in fetu. We report here in a case of 37 weeks old newborn baby girl delivered by normal vaginal route. The baby presented with a large soft cystic mass over sacrococcygeal region. Radiological examination show an extrapelvic soft tissue mass with variegated appearance. Complete excision of mass was done. On gross examination cut section show variegated appearance with presence of a rudimentary limb.Microscopic examination revealed the mass to be a mature sacrococcygeal teratoma. Mature sacrococcygeal teratoma appears to be entirely benign during neonatal period. Complete surgical excision remains the mainstay of treatment.
Key Words: Fetiform teratoma, Germ cell layer,Mature sacrococcygeal teratoma, Organoid differentiation, surgical excision.

Abstract: Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF) is a premalignant condition with potential malignant behavior characterized by juxtaepithelial fibrosis of the oral cavity. The study was conducted to assess the prevalence, etiology, epidemiology and Socioeconomic Status of OSMF among patients visiting the dental college in Goa. Total of 80 subjects were included, 40 subjects with the OSMF, 40 healthy control subjects. All the enrolled subjects were then interviewed using a structured proforma and examined in the dental clinic using clinical examination tools. Statistical analysis was carried out using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 20.0 software. It was observed that the Oral Submucous Fibrosis is mostly seen in younger individuals (The youngest case of Oral Submucous Fibrosis was 19 year old.......

Abstract: AIM:To compare the haemodynamic effectsof thiopentone,propofol and etomidate and to study the side effects.MATERIALS AND METHODS:After taking institutional ethical committee approval and informed consent ,90 patients aged between 20-50 yrs of ASA Grade 1&11 undergoing elective surgeries under general anaesthesia were randomly divided into3groups Group T, Group P and Group E.Group T- patients were induced with thiopental 5mg/kg, Group P – patients received propofol 2mg/kg and Group E received etomidate 0.3mg/kg. Haemodynamic variables like H.R,B.P(systolic and diastolic) and Spo2 recorded before induction and at 1,3.5,10.15 and 30 mts post induction and S.E if any are noted.RESULTS :There was significant fall in HR in propofol group compared to thiopentone and etomidate groups. There was also significant decrease in systolic blood pressure , diastolic blood pressure and mean blood pressure in patients of propofol and thiopentone groups than those of etomidate groups. Conclusion: Present study concludes that etomidate is an effective induction agent with good cardiovascular stability when compared with thiopentone and propofol..
