Abstract: background: Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder in children which often require longterm antiepileptic therapy,Valproic acid is widely used antiepileptic drug as it has broad-spectrum activity and its well tolerated. Alteration in body weight and BMI has been reported with valproate and other anticonvulsants on longterm medications,although the real incidence and magnitude of the problem is still controvertial, and hardly any comparative study is available in paediatric population.Our study aims to evaluate and compare the changes in bodyweight and BMI, in patients with childhood epilepsy on valproate or other anticonvulsants monotherapy.method: 80 children with newly diagnosed epilepsy attended in our hospital from july 2018 to july 2019 were includedin our study and.....

Abstract: Background: Though local analgesia is used to alleviate pain and render dental procedures comfortable, its administration using injectable mode of delivery itself induces pain. Chemically derived analgesic agents are frequently used to achieve topical analgesia before or during dental procedures. However, few herbal agents are observed to show anesthetic properties. One such agent described in literature but evaluated minimally in medical and dental field is lavender oil. The present in-vivo study was planned to compare and evaluate efficacy of essential oil (lavender oil) against 20% benzocaine gel as topical analgesic agent in order to minimize pain before or during injecting local anesthesia. Materials and Methods: 50 children between 6-14 years, requiring bilateral extraction of maxillary teeth through local infiltration anesthesia were....

Abstract: The main objective of this article is to provide an overview of emerging trends and impacts of emerging technologies in the future of radiology. The combination of two major innovations is playing a central role in this revolution, namely, the Internet and the digitisation of medical information. Technological advancements in conjunction with innovative thinking have led to changes in the radiology industry. For radiologists, constant innovations in medical information technology have not only allowed delivering higher-quality and faster imaging services to patients, but also helps prevent them themselves from experiencing burnout. Therefore, to take full advantage of these benefits, radiologists need to become educated as to what is available and then equip themselves with the new technologies and skills that will provide them with the most benefit. We will review the different areas of innovation that will shape global radiology.

Abstract: The aim was to assess the knowledge and awareness onInfectious diseasesduring pregnancy and their effect on pregnancy outcome among married or previously married women living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.Materials and Methods:A questionnaire was prepared online by Google Forms containing three sections: demographic data, health disorders during pregnancy, and selected infectious diseasesand their complications on pregnancy outcome. A rating scale format was applied with agree, do not know, and do not agree options. A pilot study was performed and evaluated for validity. The questionnaire was distributed through social media networks targeting married women across Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Results:A data of (491) respondents was analyzed,(40.4%) were among the 25-34 age group, and (60.3%)indicated a bachelor'sdegree.Of the sample a (45.2%)reported previous complications with pregnancy, mainly anemia in (33.9%), followed by gestational diabetes in almost (28%). More than two thirds (67.8%) were oblivious that Zika virus could result in microcephaly in infants(P=....

Abstract: Background: Years of Boko Haram insurgency in the north east, herder-farmer clashes in the middle belt and serial communal clashes across Nigeria have forced millions of people away from their homes into ad-hoc camps with limited access to the most basic necessities of life, including health care. Consequently, in 2012, the Nigerian government adopted a national policy on internally displaced persons (IDPs) with the aim of strengthening institutional mechanisms for the realization of the rights, dignity and wellbeing of individuals in humanitarian situations. Despite these policy objectives, internally displaced persons in Nigeria still get less than dignified conditions in humanitarian conditions and access to health care has remained challenging. This study sought to understanding health care provisioning and utilization at an IDPs' camp in Jos, north central Nigeria.....

Abstract: The loss of the facial structures can have a physical, social and psychological impact on those affected .Maxillofacial prostheses which restore and replace stomatognathic and associated facial structures with artificial substitutes, aim to improve the patient aesthetics, restore and maintain health of the remaining structures and consequently provide physical and mental well being. Accurate impressions of these tissues facilitate a close adaptation of the custom prosthesis to the tissue bed resulting in better potential for movement by the patient. Treatment of such cases includes implants and acrylic eye prosthesis. Due to economic factors it may not be advisable in all patients. A custom-made ocular prosthesis is a good alternative. A case of a custom-made ocular acrylic prosthesis is presented here, which had acceptable fit, retention and esthetics.

Abstract: Spirurid nematode of the genus Thelazia may rarely infect humans through aberrant transmission.We here report a case series of four patients (one male child,two adult male and one adult female) of ocular Thelaziasispresenting in Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal hospital Ophthalmology OPD within a span of last one and half year.The child presented with redness and discharge of the right eye.The other three patients presented with spontaneous expulsion of worms from eyes. Worms were removed from threeof them with forceps using topical anaesthesia.All the patients were treated symptomatically.The patients responded well and had no complaint on subsequent visits.Worms from all the cases were identified to be Thelaziacallipaeda by the Microbiology Department of the same institute. All four cases could be linked to a poor sanitary condition in the household.

Abstract: Giant cell tumour of soft tissue is a rare primary soft tissue tumour with low malignant potential and great tendency to recur. It frequently arises in the lower limbs especially over thigh, trunk and upper limb. It resembles giant cell tumour of bone clinically and pathologically. Here by, we report one such case which was treated by excision and has recurrence after 4 months.

Abstract: INTRODUCTION : Abdominal surgeries are one of the most common operations performed as an emergency procedure1. After these surgeries in the postoperative period, surgical site infection is one of the most common complications leading to superficial wound disruption or burst abdomen resulting in increased postoperative hospital stay. Later it may also result in incisional hernia. Postoperative wound infection was considered a surgeons nightmare. It is the third most common cause of nosocomial infection and is highly associated with morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVES : To know the incidence of wound infection based on......
