Abstract: Background: Head injury is the commonest phenomenon on road resulting from high velocity automobiles and these injuries account for about one fourth of all deaths due to violence and are responsible for 70% of fatal road accidents. The application of computed tomography to the early diagnosis of head injured patient offered great promise. So this study is aimed to compare the CT (Head) scan with autopsy findings in head injury cases. Material & Methods: Post-mortem examination was conducted in 50 fatal cases of head trauma, which were admitted and died while on treatment in the department of surgery at A.N.M.M.C.H GAYA. Results: In the present study CT scan and autopsy would detect skull fractures 44%, intracranial hemorrhages 76% and brain lesions 95% of cases. Conclusion: This study showed that.....

Abstract: Introduction: Infant massage has been a traditional practice in India [1]. But, this has also been a less studied area as well [1]. In addition to that, various emollients has been used for infant massage traditionally. While many of them are beneficial for the neonatal or infantile skin, some have been proved to be detrimental for the same. Methods: The study was conducted among infants and neonates attending the follow-up clinic of a tertiary care teaching hospital. A semi-structured pre-tested interview schedule was developed. The clearance from the institutional ethics committee.....

Abstract: Background: Retroperitoneum is a substantial space with ill defined boundaries. Retroperitoneal abscess is a condition with uncommon etiological factors like retrocaecal appendicitis, psoas abscess, contained duodenal ulcer perforation, pyelonephritis and iatrogenic causes.1 The presenting symptoms and signs of retroperitoneal abscess are vague and non specific and thus a careful history taking, abdomen examination and imaging studies are all essential to arrive at the diagnosis. Since the morbidity and mortality rates of this condition are high, early attention to patients presenting with non specific abdomen pain and distension, appropriate management with antibiotics, surgical/ non....

Abstract: Both diabetes mellitus and chronic hepatitis due to Hepatitis C infection are epidemiologically extremely important worldwide. But what is more intimidating is the incidence of Diabetes in patients suffering from Hepatitis C. This review aims to look at the epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, clinical features, laboratory findings and clinical management of diabetes occurring in individuals suffering from Hepatitis C. The mechanism of development of insulin resistance in Hepatitis C (HCV) infected individuals have several theories. In this write-up, HCV have been dealt with separately in details. In case of HCV, the mechanism of development of insulin resistance is predominantly immunological. Other mechanisms include increase in oxidative stress, beta cell dysfunction, iron overload and many others. The treatment of diabetics in the setting of HCV and are essentially antiviral regimens alongwith treatment and monitoring of Diabetes mellitus. Considering the colossal statistical figures of prevalence of diabetes and hepatitis, prevention of HCV and transmission is of utmost importance. This comprehensive review aims to look at incidence and pathogenesis of diabetes in HCV infected patients alongwith the effect of the antiviral regime on glucose metabolism..

Abstract: Glaucoma is a, silent killer of vision. Topical instilled drugs are the main crux of glaucoma therapy. Prostaglandin analogues (PGAs) include latanoprost, travoprost etc., as first-line medical treatment in glaucoma. Suggested in few studies, Benzalkonium chloride (BAK) is pro inflammatory and pro apoptotic molecule, leading to damage of tear film and changes in ocular surface. So, PGA molecule especially with BKC leads to decrease in adherence to prostaglandins. Methods: Prospective, open labelled, randomized comparative study conducted in Bhagat Phool Singh Government Medical College for Women, Khanpur Kalan.....

Abstract: Aim: Radiographic comparison and assessment of GIC and Composite in Restoring Class I cavity in Primary
Molars in children.
Materials and Method: Data records of a total of 40 patients within the age group of 5 to 8 years were enrolled
in which the primary molars were indicated for class I restoration. All the patients were broadly divided into
two study groups as follows: Group A: Glass ionomer was used and Group B: Resin composite was used. As
per data record files, complete respiration was done in all the patients. Follow-up visit records of all the
patients were obtained. Radiographs were analyzed by skilled oral radiologists. Based on radiographic details,
grading of the quality of restoration was done.......

Abstract: This was descriptive study done at Omdurman maternal hospital in Khartoum state-Sudan; during the period extend from 2017 to 2020. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of diabetes type in pregnant ladies, in second and third trimester. Method: Hundred and sixty five diabetic pregnant ladies were included. All were scanned by two dimensional ultrasound machine (Mindary) by applying the standard technique. The scan was done to evaluate the effect of diabetes type in fetal weight , gender, flow in umbilical artery, middle cerebral artery and evaluate amniotic fluid index . Maternal age, parity, and Hb A1C (glycated hemoglobin) were also been evaluate. The study revealed that fetal liquor volume, fetal hearts activity, fetal gender, umbilical artery, middle cerebral artery, and fetus weight ,maternal Hb A1C and parity were not affected by diabetes type. While diabetes type have an effect on advanced maternal age .

Abstract: Background: Amyand hernia is an uncommon condition where the appendix is trapped inside an inguinal hernia sac. Appendix within the hernia sac is exceptionally unusual (fewer than 1% of inguinal hernia patients), and when complications such as inflammation, perforation, or abscess development occur, the rate drops to less than 0.1 %. Case presentation: A 75-year-old man presented with abdominal pain and fever (38 C) to the Emergency Department. The physical examination revealed a right incarcerated inguinal hernia, painful at the palpation. The Computed Tomography showed herniated bowel loops inside the inguinal hernia with signs of inflammation and fluid in the peritoneal cavity. An exploratory laparotomy, appendectomy, and hernia repair without mesh were performed on the patient.......

Abstract: Background: Gallstone disease is one of the most common problems affecting the digestive tract. Incidence of asymptomatic gallstones has been understood recently, largely due to application of USG scanning of people for other reasons. Most of the gall stones are silent / asymptomatic with only 1 – 4 % lifetime risk of becoming symptomatic Methods:. Patients with USG proven gall-stones presenting with dyspepsia attending OPD or admitted in surgery department were taken for the study. Details of cases were recorded including history and clinical examination and investigations as per the pretested proforma. Upper GI endoscopy was performed to look for significant lesions.......
