Abstract: Trichobezoar is a rare condition that may pose a diagnostic challenge. Patients with this condition often have an underlying psychiatric illness, and history may not be easily forthcoming. The condition more common in young females. Delay in diagnosis may lead to severe complications. We present a case of 14 years female with complaints of abdominal pain for 1 days with history of early satiety for 1 weeks and nausea and vomiting for 1 weeks.

Abstract: Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is the single most important cause of maternal death worldwide, and increases morbidity and mortality in millions of women who give birth. Prophylactic use of uterotonic agents prevents and reduces the morbidity and mortality associated with postpartum haemorrhage. In the developing countries, where the prevalence of anaemia is high, postpartum haemorrhage can have a higher toll on morbidity and mortality and hence the healthcare costs associated with it. According to the World Health Organisation, 25% of maternal deaths occur due to postpartum haemorrhage. In India, the incidence of postpartum haemorrhage is 2-4% following vaginal delivery and 6% following Caesarean section.1 In prevention of postpartum haemorrhage, traditional uterotonics (oxytocin or ergot derivatives) outperform prostaglandin analogues because their onset of action is faster and, in the case of oxytocin, there are fewer side effects.2.....

Abstract: Synovial Hemangiomas are benign tumours of vascular origin and isa rare cause of knee swelling.A 25 year old gentleman presented with knee pain & swelling in the outer aspect of right knee joint for over17 years.On examination ,patient had a well-defined swelling on the superoanterolateral aspect of right knee.X ray and blood parameters were normal.MRIscan showed heterogeneously enhancing recticulated T1hypointense,T2 iso-hyperintense lesion lateral to the distal shaft of femur in relation to the synovium of the knee joint with T2 hypointense rim and septae.Surgical excision was performed and histopathologic examination confirmed synovial cavernoushemangioma.Post-operative recovery was uneventful and atfollow up after 3 months of the procedure , patient remained asymptomatic with full range of knee movements..

Title | : | Antidotes for Reversal of Direct oral Anticoagulants |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | HarichandanaPunukula || Puligari Praveen Reddy |

Abstract: The primary benefit from direct oral anticoagulants is a decreased rate of significant bleeding, particularly intracranial hemorrhaging, against vitamin K antagonists. The absence of preclinical and clinical evidence is concerned because numerous supplements to the clotting factor have been used in patients who have been administered with direct oral anticoagulants caused by severe bleeding. Idarucizumab is a certain 350 fold antibody that has a larger affinity to dabigatran than its pharmacological target thrombin. Andexanet is a modified factor Xa molecule, which connects Xa inhibitors directly and indirectly without enzyme activity. The ability of Ciraparantag is to reverse the behavior of several anticoagulants.
Key words: DOACs, idarucizumab, andexanet alfa, ciraparantag.

Abstract: Objective: The aim of the study was to identify the pattern of cranial injuries associated with maxillofacial trauma in Government Dharmapuri Medical College Hospital situated near the national highway, which receives a lot of road traffic accident cases. Method: This retrospective study was carried out with computer tomographs and their reports of polytrauma patients who were brought to this trauma centre. Majority of the cases were road traffic accident cases. Data was collected from the year 2016 to 2020, including age, gender, and anatomical site of fracture and brain injuries

Abstract: Alleviation of pain is one of the most fundamental goals in anesthesiology. Postoperative pain, apart from patient's suffering, has many other adverse physiological and psychological effects like respiratory depression, circulatory disturbances and metabolic stress responses induced by anesthesia and surgery.Thus, postoperative pain management plays a vital role in deciding the overall outcome of any surgery. Subarachnoid block was introduced in 1885 by J. Leonard Corning. It was first used by Bier in 1898. The concept of post-operative analgesia is gaining importance in recent times. Many adjuvants like opioids, adrenaline, ketamine, benzodiazepines, neostigmine have been used along local anaesthetic agents....

Abstract:Introduction: Cranio-facial trauma is more common in children who are below 13 years of age because of their greater cranial mass to body ratio. Mandibular fractures are relatively less frequent in children as compared to adults. Pediatric patients present a unique challenge in terms of their treatment planning and in their functional needs. Treatment is usually performed without delay and can be limited to observation or closed reduction in non-displaced or minimally displaced fractures. Children require long-term follow-up to monitor potential growth abnormalities. Following is a case report on the fabrication of an open occlusal lateral compression splint with circummandibular wiring as a treatment modality of a 3-year-old girl with fractured body of mandible involving fewer risks.......

Abstract: Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) consists of range of disorders which cannot be explained by structural or biochemical abnormalities. Managing functional abdominal pain by traditional pharmacological therapies in children are failing to achieve the desired outcome, whereas new pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches are showing promising results. The aim of this review is to provide the clinicians an overview and summary of recent literature of pharmacological and non-pharmacological options in management of functional abdominal pain in children and adolescent. This review article discusses about latest evidences which includes randomized controlled trials, retrospective studies, reviews, observational studies and evidence based medicine search on.....
