Abstract: Background: The purpose of this study is to study the anatomical and functional outcome of epiretinal membrane peeling surgery by evaluating the visual outcomes, comparing the pre and post operative macular thickness and functional changes through electroretinogram. Methods: It is a non-randomized, open labelled, prospective study conducted in a tertiary eye care centre. The anatomical and functional outcome of epiretinal membrane peeling surgery was evaluated by comparing the preoperative BCVA, OCT and ERG with post operative results of the same, at 4 & 12 weeks after the surgery in 25 eyes.......

Abstract: Background:Class II malocclusion is caused by mandibular deficiency, maxillary overgrowth, or a combination of both. Prompt treatment of a class II malocclusion can eliminate the option of orthognathic surgery or, in more severe cases, reduce the complications of surgery. Maxillary extension and expansion are often used in orthopedic treatments and removable appliances, to guide development during the early growth stages of patients. Case Report: This clinical case addresses the treatment of a 9-year-old patient with skeletal class II with maxillary prognathism............

Abstract: oral submucous fibrosis is a chronic disease affecting the oral cavity, it causes reduced mouth opening due to development of fibrous band in the oral mucosa. Various treatment modalities are available to treat the trismus cause due to the osmf, physiotherapy being one of them. This case repot demonstrate the use of intra oral appliance that can aid in increasing the mouth opening with the help of orthodontic wire.

Abstract: Adrenal pheochromocytomas(PCCs) are rare neuroendocrine tumours that arise from neural crest cells of adrenal medulla, however their prevalence is probably underestimated - in some series 50% were diagnosed at autopsy. Their clinical presentations are varies among patients, that is why diagnosis might be difficult to establish.a small proportion of tumors hardly synthesize or release any catecholamines and may have no symptoms and are termed as non functional or subclinical PCCs.the nonfunctional tumors are commonly picked up as incidentalomas and biochemical tests are usually negative. Undiagnosed subclinical normotensive PCCs could lead to catastrophic consequences during surgery and subsequently.

Abstract: Background Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a common cutaneous viral infection caused by a poxvirus, manifested by discrete, papular, pearly lesions with central umbilication. MC virus (MCV) is transmitted mainly by direct contact with infected skin which can be sexual, non-sexual, or autoinoculation. There are very few studies particularly on demographics of genital molluscum contagiosum. The aim of this study was to identify and assess the risk of infection in the target population, to build awareness regarding infection being sexually transmitted in urban and migrant population in NCR of Delhi. In the present study, an attempt was made to review all the patients of genital MC......

Abstract: Perforated Jejunal Diverticulum is considered to be a heterogeneous disorder caused by numerous abnormalities of smooth muscle or myenteric plexus. The predominant complication witnessed in this disorder is wall lacking a muscle layer. Since it is asymptomatic, jejunal diverticulosis causes acute complications such as obstruction, perforation, hemorrhage. The goal of this study was to draw attention to a medical case about a perforated jejunal diverticulum. The case involves an 85-year-old woman with an acute abdomen. In this study, an early diagnosis, based on CT and resection of the jejunum affected is vital. It is important to consider the clinical diagnosis of perforated jejunal diverticulum as part of any evaluation of the acute abdomen, especially in this case where the patient is........

Abstract: Maydl's hernia is a rare type of hernia and can occasionally present with a perplexing condition that seems to be more typical of strangulated sliding hernias.Two bowel loops form a "W" inside the hernia.The two loops present in the sac are not strangulated, but the central loop of the "W" lies free in the abdomen.The rarity of Maydl's hernia and a few other unusual characteristics in our patient led to the publication of this case study.

Abstract: BACKGROUND::Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic Leptospira species and is characterized by a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations. Leptospira are coiled, thin, highly motile organisms that have hooked ends and two periplasmic flagella that are responsible for motility. Leptospirosis presents as both an endemic and epidemic disease and its clinical spectrum can range from an asymptomatic, subclinical infection to a fulminant, fatal disease..Leptospirosis is highly underreported in India, most likely due to lack of diagnostic modalities and lack of awareness among clinicians. The disease is presently endemic and deeply entrenched in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Andaman and Nicobar Islands. High risk areas include Goa, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and West Bengal. There is less information on the prevalence of leptospirosis.......

Abstract: Dyspnea is one of the most common symptomfor which patients seeks medical attention. Various etiologies and multiple associations makes it a diagnostic challenge to clinicians. Acute causes maybe life threatening if not diagnosed and treated on time. Acute pulmonary embolism, acute myocardial infarction, Acute respiratory distress syndrome, spontaneous pneumothorax, pulmonary hemorrhage, chest wall injury and foreign body aspiration are some causes of acute dyspnea. Dyspnea can be considered as an alarm sign of disease severity and related to disease prognosis and outcome.Initial assessment include history taking, clinical examination, routine blood tests, chest radiographs, electrocardiogram, spirometry and arterial blood gas analysis. In this article we presents four different cases of dyspnea and their evaluation with management.
