Abstract: Introduction Ruptures of the distal insertion of the radius are rare injuries in trauma. Given the major role that plays this muscle in the functioning of the upper limb, the goal of our observation is to elucidate the benefits of an adequate surgical technique for the management of this lesion. Patient and methods We report a clinical case handled in our trauma centre. Indeed, this patient whose clinical and ultrasound evaluation diagnosed the rupture of the distal insertion of the bicipital tendon enabled us to make the therapeutic decision. He benefited from surgical repair by means of a cortical button. Results The recovery of the........

Abstract: Introduction: Genetic and environmental factors play important roles in prevalence rates for allergy and asthma. Family history of asthma and other atopic diseases has a strong association with development of asthma in children. Methods: Patients of 3-12 years of age presented to our institute, were tested for reversibility (PEFR) and/ or variability wherever feasible, were given anti-asthma drug trial and were followed up to observe the improvement and thus were diagnosed as childhood asthma excluding other differential diagnoses. In the present study, a total of 94 children with childhood asthma were studied. After matching ninety four children were included in the control group. Family history of asthma and atopy among parents and siblings was taken in both asthma and control groups. Presence of family history of asthma and atopy among cases and controls was compared by using chi-square test.....

Abstract: Background: The treatment of melasma remains a challenge and a mild-moderate improvement is all that is achieved in the majority of patients with the therapeutic options ranging from photo protection, topical hypo pigmenting agents, chemical peels and lasers. Objectives: To compare 50% glycolic acid peel and 10% TCA peel for the treatment of melasma. Material and Methods: We selected 118 participants of melasma aged between 12 and 65 years from the dermatology outpatient department and treated equal numbers with 10% TCA and 50% glycolic acid. Results: Subjective response as graded by the patient showed good or very good response in 88% participants in the glycolic acid group and 84% in the TCA group. Conclusions: Glycolic acid showed highest efficacy in Fitzpatrick type V skin followed by TCA, although there is no significant statistical difference between efficacy of Glycolic acid and TCA in treatment of melasma. For epidermal melasma glycolic acid is preferred peeling agent.

Abstract: Idiopathic clubfoot is a complex deformity and is difficult to treat. The goal of the treatment is to reduce or eliminate all components of the deformity so that the patient has a pain free, plantigrade, mobile foot with good function and without callosities. We have treated 31 patients with 45 clubfeet using ponseti technique. Grading system of Dimeglio et al was used to assess the severity of deformity. The average number of costs applied for obtaining correction was 6, ranging from 4 to 9. Tenotomy was done in 40 feet. 40 feet had good results; 3 patients (5 feet) developed recurrence because of non-compliance of use of orthosis.

Abstract: Anterior crown fractures are a common form of traumatic dental injuries that mainly affect the maxillary incisors, especially in children and adolescents. Complicated crown fractures although less common, pose a challenge to the clinician as the main objective is successful pain management and immediate restoration of function, esthetics and phonetics. Since the development of the adhesive dentistry, the patient's own fragment can be used to restore the fractured tooth(1) Crown reattachment is the most conservative treatment which can be used to restore fractured tooth, presumably with sufficient.....

Abstract: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is defined as a functionally significant impairment of urine flow from the renal pelvis across the UPJ to the proximal urethra. Patients usually present with symptoms of flank pain, Diet's crisis, urinary tract infections, Hematuria, and sometimes nephrolithiasis1 . Diagnosis may involve use of a number of anatomic imaging studies (ultrasonography, intravenous Pyelography, retrograde Pyelography, computed tomography-based urography, etc) and functional tests (diuretic radionuclide renography, rarely Whitaker test); Hydronephrosis.....

Abstract: Background: Hyponatremia is a frequently encountered electrolyte disturbance in patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB). The pathophysiological mechanism identified for hyponatremia in Pulmonary Tuberculosis include Adrenal Insufficiency and Syndrome of Inappropriate ADH secretion (SIADH). The symptoms of adrenal insufficiency are often merged with the symptoms of tuberculosis and hence adrenal insufficiency is often overlooked in these patients. Identifying adrenal insufficiency in patients of tuberculosis is a priority as these patients may progress to adrenal crisis which can be life threatening. Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of adrenal insufficiency in hyponatremic patients with pulmonary tuberculosis Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in the department of Medicine and Pulmonary Medicine, Christian Medical College.....

Abstract: Background: Clinical success and long-term use of fixed dentures are influenced by esthetic values, fracture resistance and crown adaptation. Crown adaptation is defined as its axial and occlusalfit (internal fit) along with with its marginal adaptation to the preparation (marginal fit). Poor marginal fit has been plaque accumulation which can initiate gingival inflammatory reactions and may lead to deterioration of the soft tissues due to periodontal disease, it also causes recurrent caries and bone loss. One of the significant factorfor produce restorations with accurate internal and marginal fit is the impression technique. There are two techniques for dental impression, conventional impression using one-step putty-wash technique and two-step putty-wash technique and digital impression using direct and indirect. The aim of this study is to find the differences of marginal fit all ceramic crowns made with one-step putty-wash, two-step putty-wash and digital impressionimpression techniques....

Abstract: Background: Newer technologies and the development of pit and fissure sealants have shifted the treatment philosophy from 'drill and fill' to that of 'seal and heal' Aim: Assess and compare antibacterial activity and mechanical properties of three different pit and fissure sealants. Materials and Method: Fluoride releasing resin based sealant (Clinpro), surface prereacted glass filler containing sealant (Beautisealant) and amorphous calcium phosphate containing sealant (Aegis) were used in this study. Their antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans was assessed using agar diffusion test and their mechanical.....
