Abstract: Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most important chronic diseases. Patients with COPD suffer from periodic acute exacerbations or a worsening of lung function, which are partially due to infection. Poor oral health (e.g., periodontal disease) was also associated with AE-COPD. Good oral hygiene could be a key factor to prevent frequent exacerbation of COPD. Materiala & Methods: Total 20 patient of confirmed COPD with acute exacerbation possessing at least 6 teeth were interviewed using a prestructured questionnaire. Rresult: A bulk of sample (75%) don't think even dental health is a part of general health, only 60% brush their teeth daily & nobody use dental floss. Conclution: Additional effort should be taken with usual management to improve dental health knowledge & eliminate the misconceptions.

Abstract: Background :- The Achilles tendon is the strongest tendon in the human body. Retraction and atrophy of the tendon ends, scar tissue between the tendon ends makes primary repair of the chronic Achilles tendon tear difficult. Tendon transfer is associated with less Strength of the graft, need for additional incisions for harvesting the graft, wound breakdown and infections. Achilles tendon is used to reconstruct the gap to overcome the above complications. The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of chronic Achilles tendon ruptures treated withBosworth technique......

Abstract: Background Gall stone disease is most common in women and incidence of disease increase with age.Definitive treatment of gall stone disease is laproscopic cholecystectomy.Abnormal anatomy of bile tree predisposes the patient to high risk bilary duct injury and post operative complications.MRCP helps in indentifying abnormal ductal anatomy and variants which reduces the risk of ductal injuries during laproscopic cholecystectomy. Materials and Methods The present study is a cross-sectional, observational study undertaken under taken to evaluate the role of preoperative MRCP in the patients of gall stone disease posted for laproscopic cholecystectomy being referred to department of Radiology at NRI MEDICAL COLLEGE & GH . All the study patients were investigated on 1.5 Tesla GE SIGNA EXPLORER MRI machine.....

Abstract: Background: Infants may also experience pain during procedures like simple physical examination, bladder catheterization, phlebotomy, intravenous line placement, central venous line, chest tube placement and circumcision. Data on managing pain in infants in low and middle-income countries is scarce. In view of the high incidence of procedural pain and less available data, the current study was taken up to check for better management options. Our objective is to compare the efficacy of oral sucrose versus breastmilk in reducing procedural pain among infants.......

Abstract: Background Stroke is common in inpatient populations and can be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Stroke is the main cause of disability, the second leading cause of mortality (after ischemic heart disease), and the second greatest cause of dementia. After ischemic heart disease and lung cancer, they are the third most common cause of mortality in males, while they are the main cause of death in women. Materials and Methods The present study is a prospective, cross sectional diagnostic study undertaken to evaluate the role of colour doppler in evaluation of patients with signs and symptoms of stroke or transient ischemic attack in indoor and outdoor patients being referred to the department of Radiodiagnosis and department of neurology, NRI Medical College& GH, Chinnakakani. All the study patients were investigated on Affinity 50 Philips machine.......

Abstract: Background: The incidence of respiratory distress varies from 2 to 3.9% in developed countries, whereastheIndianstudiesreported anincidencerangingfrom0.69to 8.3%. This varies with gender, gestational age and bodyweight.

Abstract: Background and Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of Demineralized Freeze- Dried Bone Allograft (DFDBA) with Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF), and Hydroxyapatite bone graft (HA) with Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) as ridge preservatives in extraction sockets of maxillary teeth. Materials and Methodology: 60 extraction sites were selected and divided into Group A and Group B. Each group comprising of thirty extraction sites were subjected to one of the two modalities of treatment (DFDBA with PRF and HA with PRF) for maxillary extraction socket. Post-operatively the patients were evaluated clinically for pain and wound healing and radiographically for bone height, width and relative bone density using radiographs taken at interval of 1st month, 3rd month and 6th month.......
