Abstract: Background: The antepartum assessment of fetal well being has now become an integral part of management of all pregnancies. To achieve this evaluation,various biochemical and biophysical techniques have been devised. Non-stress Test is one of the most widely used primarily testing methods for assessment of fetal well being. Objectives:To evaluate the efficacy and diagnostic value of NST for antenatal surveillance To compare the mode of delivery with the test results Methods:Study was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, J.J.M. Medical College, Davangere, for a period of 1 year...

Key Words: Biophysical profile,Non Stress Test . Reactive / Reassuring ,Non Reactive / Non Reassuring/APGAR score.

Abstract: JivaniyaGhritamis mentioned in Charak Samhita for the treatment of Pittaj Unmada1. The present study were conducted on 90 cases of Anger for 30 days duration with an objective of clinical efficacy evaluation of JivaniyaGhritamon Angry patients. Aim: This study was aimed to evaluate efficacy of JivaniyaGhritam oral administration on Anger. Materials and Methods: 90 Angry Patients were divided into 3 parallel groups.Group- A (30 Patients given Modern Conventional Psychiatric Medicines), Group B ( 30 Patients given Modern Conventional Psychiatric Medicines and JivaniyaGhritam), Group C (30 Patients given only JivaniyaGhritam),between the age of 20 and 60 years, withextremely Angry states of mind for 4 weeks in the dose of10gm.

Abstract: The role of nutrition and diet in orthopaedics was first reported by Cuthbertson in 1936 . Few studies have tried to assess the importance of nutrition in joint replacement surgery. The prevalence of malnutrition in surgical patients has been reported to be as high as 50%. The rate of Total Joint Arthroplasty(TJA) for fractures and degenerative diseases of the various joints will increase substantially as the proportion of the elderly rises1. Nutrition significantly affects the healing process. Malnutrition has shown to be an independent risk factor for multiple post surgical complications following TJA in addition to increasing post operative complications. Not only does it increase the.......

Abstract: Summary Introduction Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSRC) is often related to systemic corticosteroids, widely used in clinical practice by internists. However, its prognosis is generally good but in some cases, it can lead to important functional visual alterations for patients, It is imperative to distinguish this pathology from other diseases involving retinal detachment. Especially when central serous chorioretinopathy and uveitis coexist, it is imperative to distinguish serous retinal detachment from an inflammatory flare, as the respective treatments may be radically different...........

Abstract: Background: The Govt. of India in the past two decades had financed AYUSH services through the motto of 'Mainstreaming AYUSH' – by integrating the AYUSH services with the existing allopathic services. However, the utilization pattern remains to be improved. Factors governing the utilization of AYUSH services need to be ascertained, if further push is required in integrating AYUSH services. The objective was to assess the pattern of health care seeking behaviour of AYUSH services in urban Puducherry and also the causes/reasons which are responsible for the decision/ inclination to use AYUSH services as primary or complementary treatment. Methodology: A descriptive study among 150 adult patients (>18 years) who are availing AYUSH services at the AYUSH clinic, General Hospital, Pondicherry for more than 6 months especially for chronic and degenerative diseases – diabetes, hypertension, osteoarthritis, bronchial asthma, vitiligo, etc.- 50 each in Ayurveda, Siddha and Homeopathy were......

Abstract: Background: Pterygium is a degenerative condition of the subconjunctival tissues which proliferate as vascularised granulation tissues to invade the cornea, destroying the superficial layers of the stroma and Bowman's membrane. Primary pterygium is most commonly seen in our community because the inhabitants have a high exposure to ultra violet light. Countries that are hot, dry and dusty have a higher prevalence of pterygium. The common factor appeared to be latitude, occurring between 37 degree north and south of the equator known as 'pterygium belt' region. [2] Pterygium is associated with decreased visual acuity due to involvement of visual axis, irregular astigmatism, extra-ocular motility restriction, and cosmetic intolerance. Aim: To assess the clinical outcome......

Abstract: Iris cysts are a rare pathology, even more so in children. They develop asymptomatically and can, in some cases, have an impact on the anterior segment (glaucoma, endothelial damage, lens luxation). The treatment is not codified, and remains to be defined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the situation, size and morphology of each cyst. We report the case of a 5-year-old child, with no particular pathological history, who consulted for a bad visual behavior (squinting, approaching objects). The ophthalmological examination revealed a visual acuity of 2/10 in the right eye and 1/10 in the left eye. Slit lamp examination identified pigment epithelial.......

Abstract: Magnetic Resonance Imaging is an advanced non-invasive method to detect the internal structures, differentiate between soft tissues and hard tissues. Unfortunately, the magnetic field and radiofrequency pulses generated within the magnetic resonance imager interact unfavorably with dental materials that have magnetic properties and leads to unwanted effects such as artifact formation. These are a potential source of damage to the oral tissue surrounding the affected dental materials. An MRI- induced artifact is defined by pixels that do not optimally or properly represent the tissue components under study. An MRI-induced artifact is directly proportionate to the ferromagnetic content of a material. Based on currently available evidence this narrative review aims to compile recommendations for dentists and radiologists regarding the artifact caused in MRI of patients with direct and indirect dental restorative materials.

Abstract: Background: Chemo-radiation consisting of 3 weekly Cisplatin is the standard of care for locally advanced head and neck cancer, but numerous toxicities accompany treatment. Hence several centres have adopted weekly administration of Cisplatin for a favourable toxicity profile. Currently, no prospective data is comparing three-weekly and weekly Cisplatin in the treatment of head and neck cancers. We want to conduct this study to compare the efficacy and toxicity profile of two different chemotherapy regimens. Materials and Methods: Between August 2015 to March 2017, 40 patients with locally advanced head and neck cancers were included in the study......
