Abstract: Burns is a major health problem all over the world. Placental extract dressing and collagen sheet dressing are two modalities of treatment in burns management. In a prospective study comprising of 100 patients in a tertiary care hospital, we compared the efficacy of placental extract dressings with collagen sheet dressing. The baseline characteristics like age, sex burns percentage etc. were comparable in both groups with 50 patients each The outcomes were significantly better in the placental extract group with lesser infections, better scars, lesser hospital stay and overall better treatment outcomes.

Abstract: Background: Periodontal pathogens like Aggregatibactor Actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas Gingivalis, and Prevotella Intermedia etc. are considered to be the primary etiologic factors for the periodontal diseases. Chlorhexidine is an antimicrobial agent considered to be gold standard which has a broad antibacterial activity and is normally used for chemical plaque control. But chlorhexidine is known to cause staining when used for a longer time. Hence other agents with herbal contents are being researched that can be used on regular basis........

Abstract: Since the COVID pandemic surgical safety protocols in all aspects of pre, intra and post operative phase . Hence an observational study to process the new norm of surgical protocols in the COVID times at a tertiary center is the need of time,so as to understand, refine and redefine the pathways of approach to surgical patients in this situation.Hence such a study was done in Bowring and Lady Curzon Hospital to understand,refine and redefine SOP (standard operating procedure).The objective of the study was to observe the Precautionary measures taken by the surgical department since the COVID pandemic and the extent to which it was followed. The COVID staff was monitored for 20 surgical cases.It was observed that in 19 out of 20 cases the SOP issued by the administration was followed.The Surgeons had 100% compliance with the SOP right from the OPD till the Post op care and had a lesser infection rate.Wearing PPE kit, hand hygiene, social distancing was done by staffs of all levels.The use of face shields was about 50% among the Group D staff,which had a higher rate of infection.

Abstract: We report the case of a 31-year-old man with no medical or surgical history, who was admitted to the emergency room after an acute sudden periombilicalabdominal pain, who revealed a transmesenteric intern hernia. An abdominal CT scan revealed a small bowel dilatation, upstream of a hernia sac containing dilated loops with an absent enhancement of bowel walls. The patient underwent a surgical intervention who confirmed the radiological report. The surgery consisted in a midline laparotomy, which revealed 30 cm of gangrenous small bowel herniating through a small bowel mesenteric defect. The hernia was reduced, the gangrenous small bowel resected and a primary side to side anastomosis performed.We present this case to focus on transmesenteric hernia as a rare etiology of small bowel obstruction and highlight the importance of CT scan results as a main diagnosis tool that can improve the management of this emergency.

Abstract: Background: 1.7 to 35.8% of deliveries complicated by meconium aspiration syndromes. meconium stained fluid is aspirated by the fetus before or during birth, meconium can obstruct the airways, cause inflammation, interfere with surfactant function and cause respiratory difficulties resulting in meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS). Transcervical infusion of saline into amniotic cavity or amnioinfusion has been proposed as a method to reduce the risk of the meconium aspiration syndrome. Methods: The study was conducted in Department of Obstetrics and gynecology in S.N.Medical college,jodhpur. It was a prospective comparative evaluation of two groups of 100 women one group receiving amnioinfusion for meconium stained amniotic fluid and one receiving standard care (control. Both groups were compared in terms of fetal outcome......

Abstract: Vasculitis, a systemic disorder with inflammation of blood vessel walls, can develop a broad spectrum of symptoms according to involvement of various organs. Therefore, early diagnosis of vasculitis is challenging. We here in describe a 17-years-old patient presented in such an atypical way with abdominal signs that required, two times, a laparotomy. The diagnosis of Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis was made after a rapidly progressive renal failure and histological examination of renal biopsy and tissue taken at the time of surgery. The aim of this case report is to highlight the importance of an extensive investigation of renal involvement in atypical abdominal pain. It also draws attention to the complexity of the disease and the necessity of early diagnosis along with aggressive therapy to avoid mortality.

Abstract: Parkinson's disease is an idiopathic neurological disorder characterized by tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia and postural instability. Impairment of motor skills and cognition compromise the patient's diet, nutrition and ability to maintain proper oral hygiene. As a result dental caries and edentulism seems to be a direct impending predicament. People with Parkinson's disease are often more impacted by their non-motor symptoms than motor symptoms such as apathy, depression, constipation, sleep behaviour disorders, loss of sense of smell and cognitive impairment1. Prosthodontics management of patients with Parkinson's disease requires special care and diligent handling, especially in those cases.......
