Abstract: Pancreatic pseudocysts are encapsulated collections of necrotic tissue, old blood and secretions from pancreas. The prefix pseudo is used to emphasize the fact that these collections frequently do not have true capsule and cyst wall is made with the adjacent viscera such as stomach and/or colon, Pseudocysts are most common complications following acute or chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic trauma, or obstruction of pancreatic duct by a neoplasm.. In our prospective study of 30 patients, the age of patients from 20 years to 65 years. Psuedopancreatic cyst was common in 31 to 50 years with mean age group of 40 yrs. This was probably alcohol use which was more common in this age group with ratio of male to female is 14:1. Ultrasonography and CT scan were the most useful investigations for diagnosis and follow-up. Barium meal was required in selected cases...... .

Abstract: Reduced heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with poor prognosis in diseases and healthy population. HRV is also influenced by physiological factors like age, gender, ethnic origin as well as various diseases.This study aims to establish the normal value of heart rate variability of subjects of Imphal-East, Manipur and also to see if there is any effect of age and heart rate on the HRV. Study included 100 subjects (66 males and 34 females) which was grouped into 2 according to age: group A (19-<40 years) and group B (>40-60 year). HRV analysis was done using the Lab Chart Prov8.1.13 with HRV module version 2.0; AD Instruments, Australia). Time-domain (SDNN and RMSSD) and frequency-domain (LF, HF and LF/HF ratio) were estimated. Comparison of variables between the two groups and also between

Abstract: Menarche is a hallmark event in the life of most adolescent girls. It marks the transition from childhood to puberty. Although mechanisms triggering puberty and menarche remain uncertain, they are dependent on genetics, nutrition, body weight and maturation of the hypothalamic pituitary- ovarian axis. The complete maturation of the axis may take up to 2 years. During this time, it is common for adolescents to present with complaints of menstrual irregularities[ 1 ]. Puberty menorrhagia is a significant health problem in adolescent age group and severe cases may require admission and blood transfusion. In 80% of cases puberty menorrhagia is caused by anovulatory cycles[ 2 ]. Menstrual cycles are often irregular during adolescence, particularly the interval from the first cycle to the second cycle. Most females bleed for 2–7 days during their first menses [ 3,4 ]. Immaturity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–ovarian axis during the early years after menarche often results in anovulation and cycles may be somewhat long[ 5 ]. Ignorance and inhibitions lead these young girls into severe complications.This study was carried with the aim to evaluate the causes, associated complications and management of puberty menorrhagia.

Abstract: Myofibroma and myofibromatosis is a well-recognized spindle cell neoplasm that occurs predominantlyin infants and young children. They have been described under different names since 1951. These lesionsare a benign fibroblast and myofibroblast proliferationcontaining a biphasic presentation of spindle shaped cells,surrounding a central zone of less differentiated cellsfocally arranged in a hemangiopericytoma like pattern.Classically these lesions are described in children youngerthan two years, with 2/3rd present at birth and rarely in adults.Controversy exists as to an autosomal dominant or recessiveinheritance or to a sporadic occurrence........

Abstract: Alveolar Osteitis (dry socket) can be defined as the inflammation of the extraction socket occurring postoperatively within 1-4 days that is usually characterized by intense throbbing pain, accumulation of disintegrated clot and food debris in the socket and malodor. The etiology of the dry socket has not been well-known. However, certain theories suggest that the contributing factors to the etiology that includes early dislodgment of blood clot of extraction site, also any trauma due to surgery, secondary infection, or any nutritional deficiency, or mechanical dislodgement of any clot, also decreased the particularly vascularity, drug-induced includes oral contraceptives, and tobacco-induced. Alvogyl (Septodont, France) isan intra-socket medication for dry socket containing Iodoform (15.8%) as an antimicrobial, Butlyparaminobenzoate (25.7%) as an anaesthetic.......

Abstract: Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is an autosomal recessive condition that impacts multiple body systems. The cardinal features of BBS are Central obesity, Cognitive impairment, renal anomalies, polydactyly, retinal degeneration and male hypogonadism(1). BBS affects males and females in equal numbers. Here we present a rare case of BBS with cirrhosis of the liver and splenomegaly, in a 27 year old man born out of consanguineous marriage. We described that the cirrhosis of liver can be a rare complication of BBS and emphasized the need for early diagnosis and multidisciplinary approach to reduce mortality and morbidity. We also did a brief review of the literature on BBS and other syndromes that closely resemble BBS.
