Abstract: Resume: Le rhabdomyosarcome est une tumeur maligne rare qui s'observe surtout chez l'enfant et l'adolescent. Rarement localisé au niveau de l'extrémité céphalique, la forme alvéolaire est la forme la plus agressive et la plusmétastatique. A partir d'une observation d'une jeune patiente atteinte d'un rhabdomyosarcome alvéolaire jugal et d'une revue de la littérature nous exposons les caractéristiques de cette maladie notamment dans les difficultés de prise en charge. Ainsi que l'intérêt de la chimiothérapie et du protocole AMORE (Ablation surgery, Moulage technique withafterloadybrachytherapie and Reconstructive surgery) qui ont transformé le pronostic de ces tumeurs.
Key Word: rhabdomyosarcome alvéolaire, localisation jugale, chimiothérapie, protocole AMORE.

Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the effect of preheating and flowable composite on the marginal integrity of Class II composite resinrestorations. Materials and Methods: Forty extracted human sound molars were used in this study. Class II cavities were prepared. The cavities were prepared using carbide bur with water spray and finished with fine- grained diamond stone. The cervical margin was established 1.5 mm above the cement - enamel junction. The overall dimensions and depth of the cavity were standardized as follow: 4 mm length occlusocervically and 4 mm width buccolingually and 2 mm depth axially. The cavity depth and length were judged with a permanent mark on the bur and then verified using a periodontal probe. The teeth were randomly divided into four........

Abstract: The alleviation of suffering in cancer patients is universally acknowledged as a cardinal goal of medical care. Upper abdominal pain associated with malignancy is often difficult to control with analgesics and can be severely debilitating with significant impairment of quality of life. In these patients, percutaneous image-guided celiac plexus neurolysis is an effective treatment option in managing pain with a low complication rate.We report a case of anterior paramedian percutaneous sonographic-guided celiac plexus neurolysis(CPN)..

Abstract: ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: CoVid-19 presents itself as a cause of SARS and other important pathologies, every day a new sign, symptom or comorbidity related to it is discovered, such as the pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome, including the Kawasaki Syndrome that increased its frequency in children in 2020, raising theses that may be related to CoVid-19. Many signs and symptoms of SARS-COV-2 and Kawasaki Syndrome are present in the oropharyngeal region, and the pediatric dentist may lead to the identification and appropriate referral of these pathologies. OBJECTIVE: To alert pediatric dentists to the suspected signs and symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 and Kawasaki Syndrome. METHODOLOGY: systematic searches in articles and books, using the keywords CORONAVIRUS / + / CHILDREN / OR / PEDIATRICS and, SARS / OR / SEVERE ACUTE RESPIRATORY SYNDROME / AND / CHILDREN / OR / PEDIATRICS, KAWASAKI SYNDROME / AND / PEDIATRICS on the platform on platform Virtual Health Bank and MedScape, in open period, in Portuguese and English, visits to collections of university.....

Abstract: Background: The profunda brachi artery is the main arterial supply to the back of the arm. Variations in its origin have been reported in foetal and adult human limbs. Variations of profunda brachii artery are important during harvesting of the lateral arm flaps and may lead to inadvertent injury during percutaneous arterial catheterization or injection of drugs. Knowledge of such variations has got clinical importance especially in the field of orthopedic, vascular and plastic surgeries. Method: The study was conducted on 100 numbers of upper limb of both male and female belonging to different age group in Department of Anatomy, Assam Medical College and Hospital, Dibrugarh. Results: In the present study, normal origin of the profunda brachi artery in foetus were found in 93.75% and 93.75% . Variations.....

Abstract: Introduction-SSI is the second most common complication following surgical procedure due to virulent bacterial entry,altered wound micro environment and changed host defence. Despite every effort to maintain asepsis, most surgical wounds are contaminated to some extent. Material and methods-This was a descriptive type of cross sectional study in which 100 patients were selected randomly from department of surgery, Jawaharlal Nehru medical College hospital ,Bhagalpur .SSI rates were concluded in different types of operations and using different types of incision. Results-The highest rate of SSI was seen in casesof volvulus and lowest rate of SSI was found in appendicectomy cases.Highest rate of SSI were seen in operation done through lower midline incision. Conclusion- It was revealed that, overall surgical site infection rate was 21 %. It can be concluded from the findings of the study that and factors associated with surgery like type of incision, type of operation greatly contribute to occurrences of SSI.

Abstract: Introduction-SSI previously called postoperative wound infections,result from bacterial contamination during/after a surgical procedure.SSI are the 3rd most common HAI, accounting for about 15% of all infections in hospitalized patients. Material & Methods- Starting from 13feb.2019 to 12 june 2020 ,100 cases of emergency abdominal operations were selected non randomly from the dept. of surgery JLNMCH, Bihar & studied for SSI. Results- SSI rate increased with degree of wound contamination. Staphylococcus aureus were found as the most common organism, causing 42.85% of SSI.E.coli were 2nd most common causing 33.33% of infections Conclusion- it is necessary to use prophylactic antibiotics to encounter the various types of microorganisms responsible for SSI,particularly staph.aureus & E.coli

Abstract: Myasthenia gravis in pregnant women requires multidisciplinary management (neurologist, obstetrician, anesthetist and pediatricians) due to the risk of maternal myasthenia gravis and the risk of neonatal myasthenia gravis. We present the case of an 18-year-old primigravida with myasthenia gravis for which an immunosupressant and pirydostigmine were administered even during the preconceptional period and first trimester. The patient exhibited several relapses during her pregnancy none of which had an impact on her respiratory system. The labourand delivery were closely monitored and came to pass with ease. The post partum period was uneventful for the mother and newborn..

Abstract: Background: Despite the advent of newer diagnostics to diagnose tuberculous meningitis, clinicians in limited resource settings still rely on simple clinical algorithms.This study was done to validate simple clinical algorithm derived by Rashmi Kumar et al to diagnose tuberculous meningitis. Materials and methods: We did a retrospective study of adult patients admitted with meningitis between March 2003 to April 2005. Patients were diagnosed to have tuberculous meningitis based on a composite criteria involving clinical, CSF, radiological features, histopathology and microbiological reports. Sensitivity and Specificity of Rashmi Kumar's diagnostic algorithm was measured in comparison with final diagnosis. Results: If only one feature of the....
