Abstract: Pindborg defined oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) as 'an insidious chronic disease affecting any part of the oral cavity and sometimes the pharynx , it is always associated with juxta-epithelial inflammatory reaction, followed by a fibroblastic change in the lamina propria, with epithelial atrophy, leading to stiffness of the oral mucosa and causing trismus. It is a severe disease which may cause restriction of mouth opening and may lead to dysplastic changes and even progress to malignancy. Hence, early management of this condition along with reconstruction remains the mainstay of the treatment

Abstract: Background: Hypertension is a leading cause of death world-wide. The increased prevalence of hypertension in young is an indicator of explosion of cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and renal diseases in future. Hypertension among young people is common, affecting 1 in 8 adults aged between 20 and 40 years. This number is likely to increase with lifestyle behaviours and lowering of hypertension diagnostic thresholds. Early-life factors influence blood pressure (BP) although the mechanisms are unclear; BP tracks strongly within individuals from adolescence through to later life. Higher BP at a young age is associated with abnormalities on heart and brain imaging.......

Abstract: Concomitant severe Dengue with COVID-19 can be difficult to diagnose as both diseases have similar symptoms and laboratory findings. Bangladesh is currently facing a double burden of severe Dengue and SARS-CoV-2 infection. Co-infection with these viruses can result in severe morbidity. Worldwide this co-infection is rare. However, we present a complicated case of severe Dengue with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The child presented with multiorgan dysfunction with plasma leakage and positive for Dengue nonstructural protein 1 antigen and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for SARS-CoV-2. Echocardiographic evaluation showed coronary arterial abnormalities. Patient was successfully managed according to Dengue syndrome guidelines and received intravenous immunoglobulin with methyl prednisolone, aspirin for coronary arterial involvements. Through.....

Abstract: Chest tube placement is an invasive bedside procedure that is commonly used by different specialty physicians. Malposition of the chest tube is considered the most common complication of chest tube placement. Here we present a rare case where in a 32-year-old male who had an alleged history of road traffic accident. CT chest revealed that the chest tube was in the liver. Complications of misplaced chest tube include malposition, infection, organ injury. Malpositioning of chest tube causing injury to abdominal organs like stomach, spleen, liver is rare. And therefore position should always be confirmed with a bedside AP radiograph. Whenever in doubt, CT provides invaluable information about the position and complications that might be present due to misplaced chest tube...

Abstract: Diabetes is the fastest growing chronic disease worldwide, and has become one of the most common non communicable diseases and its burden is on the rise among all age groups. This study was conducted to evaluate the Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS) and its usefulness. 120 subjects were taken and studied for 2 months. The risk score was calculated for everyone. Only 45% were in low-risk category, 34.2% were in moderate risk category and 20.8% were in high-risk group as per the IDRS. Our results were similar to many other studies. We concluded that a diabetes risk score will help us to device effective screening strategies to unmask hidden burden of the disease in countries like India.

Abstract: The role of MSMEs is very important to drive the wheels of the economy in Indonesia. This means that the Indonesian economy is supported by micro-economic activities (MSMEs). The obstacle that occurs in MSMEs is the lack of financial understanding so that it is related to efforts to improve product quality and lack of innovation. The purpose of this study is to see the effect of financial literacy and financial inclusion on the sustainability of the culinary sector SMEs registered at the Yogyakarta Cooperatives and UMKM Service which is moderated by self-efficacy. The method used is a survey method in the form of a questionnaire distributed to respondents. Questionnaires......

Abstract: Background: Seizures are a common medical emergency, frequently faced by every pediatrician. Studies delineating the clinical profile and the role of neuroimaging in diagnosis and subsequent management of pediatric seizures are relatively meager in this part of the country. The current study aimed to provide a baseline profile of pediatric seizures and the importance of neuroimaging, in diagnosing the etiology. Methodology: The study was conducted over a period of one year. Patients presenting with seizures, in the age group of 1 month to 12 years, to the emergency and the Paediatric Neurology Clinic of the institution (Midnapore Medical........
