Abstract: Introduction.. Preterm birth is leading cause of newborn death and the second leading cause of death after pneumonia in children under five years.The vaginally administered progesterone has become the most widely effective alternative in preventing preterm birth 2. Oral Micronized Progesterone,Micronizing is a process designed to increase the half-life of progesterone and reduce its destruction in the gastrointestinal tract. Micronization decreases particle size and enhances the dissolution of progesterone4,5.In fact, the Cochrane survey concludes: "Further trials are still required to assess the optimal timing, mode of administration and dose of administration of progesterone therapy" 3. Thus, the current situation with the oral route is not that of a proven absence of value, but.......

The prevalence is higher in the Indian population 16.5% Aims &Objectives: To study the maternal and fetal outcome in gestational diabetes mellitus
Materials &Methods: 40 patients diagnosed with GDM were enrolled in this study after giving 75g GCT as per DIPSI guidelines. All these women were followed till delivery with fetal outcome also........

Abstract: About 4,280 people per 1 lakh population are getting cardiac arrest per year in the India . Every minute 112 people are succumbing to cardiac arrest. This is a very big problem. Almost 80 to 82 per cent cardiac arrest happens outside hospital. With each minute the chances of survival decreases by 7 to 10 minutes. If we don't immediately give CPR, the patient will have brain injury. In some countries, with increasing practice of CPR it has been found that 40-60 per cent people could be saved. Since time is important, any layman can manually start a heart with a skill which can be learned with a practice of 5-10 minutes and can save a life. For this purpose studying Awareness of CPR in the General Population may be useful. This study was conducted among the general population of Delhi NCR from 2019 to 2022 for 200 participants . Participants were categorized on........

Abstract: Background: Acute onset fever with altered mentation is a common problem encountered by the physician practicing in tropical countries. Central nervous system (CNS) infections are the most common cause resulting in fever with altered mentation in children. Aim: In this study, we have tried to analyse the clinic-etiological spectrum of acute febrile encephalopathy in adult patients in Bundelkhand region and the outcome of the patients of different etiological profile. Setting and design: This study is a hospital based cross-sectional observational study conducted in M.L.B Medical College, Jhansi (U.P.). The study includes all acute febrile encephalopathy patients coming to Emergency Department, M.L.B. Medical College........

Abstract: Introduction: In today's era cost of health care is of growing importance and it is important to recognize patients at increased risk of post-operative morbidity and mortality and to find interventions to reduce the risk. Hence, there is a need of an objective prognostic tool to assess the post-operative outcome of patients, than the subjective gut feeling of surgeons. The surgical Apgar score (SAS) is a simple score that uses intraoperative information on hemodynamics and blood loss of patient to predict post-operative morbidity and mortality. Score on a scale of 0-10 calculated from three parameters collected during the operative procedure, lowest heart rate (HR), lowest mean arterial pressure (MAP), and estimated blood loss.......

Abstract: The popularity of lasers in esthetic periodontal therapy and implant practice has increased tremendously in the last few years due to their innovative technology and versatility. Presently, a range of laser systems is being used in various soft and hard tissue procedures. Among them, diode lasers, carbon dioxide (CO2), neodymium-doped: yttrium-Garnet (Nd:YAG), erbium-doped: yttrium-aluminium Garnet (Er:YAG) are frequently used. It has various applications in esthetic dentistry. This includes surgical and non-surgical procedures; like operculectomy, gingival depigmentation, gingivectomy, growth excision, and many other procedures. Lasers are used in various implantology procedures.......

Abstract: Background: CT guided interventional procedures are the most preferred procedures in thoracic lesions. Thoracic interventions like CT guided fine needle aspiration cytology and core biopsy are minimally invasive procedures. Methods: This is a hospital based observational study of CT guided interventional procedures in patients with thoracic lesions diagnosed by imaging methods like chest radiograph, CT or MRI scans. These patients were referred to the department of radiodiagnosis for CT guided thoracic interventions from the chest medicine department and other clinical departments of our Hospital AIIMS New Delhi. The duration of the study is for a period of two years.........
