Abstract: study of clinical evaluation and Management of Small bowel perforation was done between2017 1nd 2018 at Guntur medical college and Government General hospital Guntur. A study group consisted of 50 patients of different age groups. Back ground:-Perforation of small bowel is commonly observed problem in surgical practice. The different modes of clinical presentation of cases may be misleading in the diagnosis of its origin. It is required to know about current surgical practices for different types of perforations to manage such a case. A small effort has been done here, to know about the different modes of clinical presentation, diagnosis and types of management modalities for small bowel perforations. Methods:- A retros pec t ive study......

Abstract: Occupational exposure is the exposure to blood borne infections that occurs while performing the duty during professional work. Needle stick injury (NSI) is the trauma caused by sharps like needles used for blood collection, intravenous cannulas, and different sharps used by health care professionals. NSI(58%) is the common source of exposure to blood and products, followed by exposure to non-intact skin 22.7%, contamination of mucous membrane 11.2% and cuts (8%). Among the Health care professionals, interns and undergraduate medical students are at great risk of occupational exposure. Hence this study is taken up to assess the knowledge of NSI and PEP in interns and undergraduate medical students in a medical college and tertiary care hospital.......

Abstract: Oral leukoplakia is the most common potentially malignant disorder affecting oral cavity. Various surgical and non-surgical treatments have been reported, but currently there is no universal consensus on the most appropriate one and on the duration or interval of follow-up of patients with this condition. Management of oral leukoplakia should begin with elimination of risk factors (if any) such as tobacco abuse, betel chewing, alcohol abuse, superimposed candida infection over the lesion etc. Surgical treatment includes conventional surgery, electrocoagulation, cryosurgery, and laser surgery (excision or evaporation). In this case report we attempted conventional excision of leukoplakia with masked raw area with skintemp and evaluated healig of the lesion.

Abstract: Humanitarian action itself is defined by the ICRC as a range of activities that seek to alleviate human suffering and protect the dignity of all the victims of armed conflicts and catastrophes, carried out in a neutral, impartial and independent manner, free of charge and framed under International Humanitarian Law. The first is now well known: a non-government forensic anthropology organization created in the aftermath of the regime which ruled Argentina between 1976 and 1983, to investigate the whereabouts of the "disappeared‟. The second source of HFA is international law, specifically International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights Law. Without communication with the dead, a fully humanitarian action is impossible. International humanitarian law applies to armed conflicts.

Abstract: INTRODUCTION :Obesity is defined as a Body Mass Index(BMI) greater than 30. The WHO states that abdominal obesity is defined as a waist-hip ratio above 0.90 for males and above 0.85 for females.It is one of the leading chronic,multifactorial and complex diseases which poses a major public health issue increasing the risk of non - communicable diseases like Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Cardiovascular diseases and Hypertension. It is considered to be a disorder of energy balance and it has recently been suggested that some form of obesity is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation. The present study aimed toemphasize the burden of obesity in inflammation by associating with elevated levels of high sensitivity CReactive Protein (CRP) in obese females.CRP is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is positively associated with body weight in obese individuals........

Abstract: The ossifying fibroma of bone is a central neoplasm of bone. Central ossifying fibroma a tumor accepted by most investigators as being odontogenic in origin. These are neoplasms consisting of fibrous tissue containing varying amount of mineralized materials. In this presentation, we have described 2 case series, 1.A male aged 57 year with clinical findings of pulsatile socket & expansion of cortical bone with mandibular left side. 2. A female aged 43 year asymptomatic patient who presented an impacted 38, 48 and accidently we have found radiographic changes on OPG. We have done CBCT (3D Carestream) scan and radiographically diagnosis was confirmed. Radiographic imaging such as intraoral, panoramic & CBCT had been performed and radiographic diagnosis of Central ossifying fibroma of bone was made. CBCT extending its arm to explore easier possibilities of diagnosis.

Abstract: Introduction: In this study, we aimed to determine the proportion of ketamine-propofol (ketofol), in the ratio of 1:1, for colonoscopy procedures, to maintain the hemodynamic stability, in comparison with propofol alone. Material and methods: This is a prospective and randomized trial. The first group (group 1) was administered Ketofol (Ketamine 50mg and Propofol 50 mg), induction was performed, with 1 mg/kg propofol and 1 mg/kg ketamine. For the second group (group 2) induction was performed, with 2 mg/kg propofol. Additional doses of 0.5 mg/kg bolus propofol without ketamine were administered to both groups accordingly. The heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), peripheral oxygen saturation values, colonoscopy period, adverse events, recovery time, discharge time, additional propofol doses, total propofol doses, colonoscopist and patient satisfaction were recorded........

Abstract: Patients require regular oral examination to detect, diagnose and to treat pathology if any found: in order to alleviate discomfort and to normalize the physiological oral status(1). It is imperative for dentists to maintain high standard of professional etiquette in order to successfully accomplish his vocation(2).Patients grievance is to be addressed and annulled to his contentment to maintain his appreciation as a professional and to sustain the statuesque as a good serving dentist in the society. This verily justifies the statement that; patient turn over in a clinic is directly proportional to the treatment approach of the dentist.Treatment approach is an amalgamation of different aspects: it includes his competence, communication, management skill and also the professional acumen gained through experience (3,4). Regular self appraisal is a key hypothesis to access and ameliorate our mistakes so as to improve skill set. A constant self evaluation of patient satisfaction regarding the service rendered is the crux for a successful

Abstract: Takayasu's arteritis (TA), also known as "young female arteritis," is a rare and chronic inflammatory disease of the large vessels. The disease mainly affects women of reproductive age and Asian origin. Pregnant patients are at increased risk of cardiovascular complications, including hypertension and congestive heart failure, which may jeopardize both maternal and fetal outcomes. We present a case of pregnant woman with Takayasu arteritis whose disease and fetal complications during pregnancy was challenging and managed well by our multidisciplinary team
