Abstract: Numerous advancements have been made in the procedures for making fixed prosthodontic impressions over the past few decades. Gingival retraction is the temporary displacement of the gingival tissue away from a tooth that helps to register the prepared abutments and finish lines accurately. It permits completion of the preparation, cementation of the restorations and helps the operator to make complete impression of the preparation. This article discusses the current methods that are applied for displacement of gingival tissues and analyse their merits and demerits. The choice of method of retraction depends on the clinical situation and accessibility

Abstract: this prospective study was done to compare the effect of single dose prophylactic intravenous antibiotic versus conventional triple antibiotic therapy in preventing surgical site infection in clean surgical cases operated in ssims&rc. A total of 200 cases were studied, male to female ratio in study was 3:2, with mean age of 42.7 years, among the clean surgery cases operated, lichtenstein mesh repair done for inguinal hernia is being highest, 31%.in group-ii 6% of and 2% case in group-i had postoperative infection, with staphylococcus aureus being most common organism isolated. This study highlights the rational use of antibiotic as injudicious use can adversely affect the patient, cause emergence of antibiotic resistance and increase the cost of health care

Abstract: Pneumoperitoneum and perforation are the most commonly seen complications in cases of rectal air entry at a high velocity in a short duration of time. We present a case of 20 year old male who was brought to emergency department with severe abdominal pain and distension for 2 hours. On asking history he told a friend of him pumped high-pressure air from an air compressor into his anus while he was working in a factory. The examination and investigations of patients were suggestive of free gas in peritoneal cavity (pneumoperitoneum) and the patient was taken for emergency exploratory laparotomy. On exploration, gaseous distention of whole colon was observed with multiple serosal tear along the colon . A defect of 2x2 cm seen in middle of transverse colon at anti mesenteric border. The defect was closed primarily.

Results: with 100 patients 34 were females & rest 66 were males. Out of which both parameters run on all patients. Mean age of CRP for males 58.92 ±15.63 & Mean age for females 55.23±15.60. Observed value for CRP 55.40±64.98 for males 47.46±57.00 for females & observed value for D-dimer is 2736± 2948 for males & for females 3968± 4912. In this study D-dimer was significant as compared to Crp

Abstract: Les radionécroses des lésions chroniques dont l'évolution spontanée est l'aggravation. Leur traitement est essentiellement chirurgical. Le parage doit être large et concerner l'ensemble des tissus radiodystrophiques. La reconstruction doit être immédiate. La localisation cervicale présente le risque de rétraction cutanée en premier plan et celui d'exposition vasculaire plus rare. La chirurgie des radionécroses est difficile et répond à des critères stricts. Elle doit éviter les risques de surinfection et de cancérisation et permettre d'améliorer la qualité de vie des patients. Nous présentons dans ce travail la stratégie adoptée par notre équipe dans la prise en charge d'un cas clinique d'une radiodermite cervicale.......

Abstract: Meckel–Gruber syndrome (MGS) is a serious disorder of ciliopathic origin and is lethal in nature with guarded prognosis. As per available literature its incidence is quite rare. It is a multisystem developmental disorder associated with various malformations like occipital encephalocele, post-axial polydactyly and renal cystic dysplasia. Other nervous system abnormalities are less frequently reported which include hydrocephaly, anencephaly or malformation of cerebellum. We are presenting this case of MGS associated with anencephaly. Main goal of this case report is to highlight the importance of ante natal check-up along with ultrasound that precisely diagnose the malformations of Central Nervous System (CNS) and alerts a physician to prescribe medication e.g. folic acid as a preventive measure against major defects and also aids in active management of other neural tube defects

Abstract: Aim: The aim was to estimate the prevalence of portal hypertensive polyps in patients with portal hypertension due to any etiology. Methods: This is a prospective observational study of patients with portal hypertensive polyps. All patients in age group of 18 to 80 years who had portal hypertension diagnosed by clinical, laboratory and imaging criteria who went upper gastro intestinal endoscopy from the period of August 2020 to May 2021 were included in the study. Diagnosis of portal hypertensive polyps was confirmed histologically. Patients with proton pump inhibitor use, gastric varices, h. pylori gastritis....

Abstract: Background:: Bone marrow examination is necessary for diagnosis and management of many haematological malignancies. For bone marrow examination two types of samples, bone marrow aspiration and bone marrow biopsy can be obtained in the laboratory. The amount of bone marrow reticulin staining Often exhibits correlation to disease prognosis,while the presence of type1 collagen,as detected by trichome staining ,is often associated with more severe disease and a poorer prognosis . The use of reticulin and trichome stain was effective when compared with the use of H&E stain alone as a laboratory diagnostic method for detection and grading of marrow fibrosis.
Aims and objectives: 1. To study cytomorphology in adult bone marrow haematological malignancies.2. To study reticulin pattern in adult bone marrow.....

Abstract: Résumé: Le diagnostic d'une tumeur cérébrale pendant la grossesse est souvent difficile. En effet, le diagnostic est souvent égaré devant des signes non spécifiques attribués à tort à la grossesse et /ou à ses complications. Si la voie basse est généralement privilégiée, les modalités de l'accouc ement doivent cependant tre adaptées cette pathologie. Dans ce contexte la prise en charge anesthésique est particulièrement délicate car doit tenir compte des différentes caractéristiques liées au terrain gravidique, celui de l'HTIC et du contexte d'urgence. ous rapportons le cas d'une patiente de ans, terme, en travail, admise aux urgences de la maternité Soussi (niveau 3) dans un tableau de crise convulsives faisant découvrir un astrocytome..

Abstract: We report the case of a 60-year-old patient presenting a protrusion of the left eyeball with diplopia, which prompted the consultation. Ophtha lmologic examination found retained visual acuity, left elevation deficit, painless non-pulsatile exophthalmos, eyelid edema and chemosis. Orbital CT with injection showed the presence of a cavernous hemangioma. The imaging workup is supplemented by an arteriography to specify the vascularization of the tumor with a view to surgical treatment such as lateral orbitotomy. However, the patient presented spontaneous involution.......

Abstract: Background: Plasma cell dyscrasias are a formidable group of disorders among haematologic neoplasms. These are also termed as plasma cell disorders and plasma cell proliferative diseases. The medical term "dyscrasia" literally means "bad mixture," and can be traced back to the Greek physician Galen (A.D. 130 to 199). The clinical presentation of Plasma cell dyscrasias may vary from asymptomatic to life threatening malignant neoplasms. Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), Malignant monoclonal gammopathies, Malignant lympho-proliferative disorders and immunoglobulin deposition diseases are among them. Plasmacytomas and multiple myeloma comes under.....
