Abstract: Introduction:Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is gold standard treatment for cholelithiasis now a days. Post-operative shoulder tip pain is common complain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The cause of this shoulder tip pain is multifactorial e.g. peritoneal stretching and diaphragmatic irritation. The main cause of this shoulder tip pain is pneumoperitoneum caused by carbon dioxide. Intra-operative and post-operative outcomes are largely affected by the pneumo peritoneum used in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Aim: To compare the effect of standard pressure and low pressure pneumoperitoneum on liver enzymes in selected group of patients........

Abstract: Fibroma is the most common soft tissue neoplasm occurring in the oral cavity and it arises from gingival connective tissue and periodontal ligament. Fibroepithelial hyperplasia is a histological variant of fibroma and because of their proliferative nature, they often cause aesthetic and functional problems. A case of a 21 year old female, who presented with gingival overgrowth in the lower front tooth region for the past 6 months is discussed in this article. The lesion was excised using electrosurgery, sent for histopathological evaluation and uneventful healing was noticed. This case demonstrates the need for awareness, and role of biopsy and histologic evaluation in management of these type of reactive lesions, as longstanding lesion in presence of chronic irritation may convert into a neoplasm..

Abstract:Background: Loss of the eye during childhood affects growth, development of the orbital area, esthetics and psychologic. Fabricating ocular prosthesis is necessary for children after losing eye. To achieve a good esthetic, coloring medium is one of the factors that determine the success of an ocular prosthesis. Inappropriate coloring medium can cause the discoloration of the ocular prosthesis. Objectives: This case report explains the rehabilitation of eye socket after enucleation with an ocular prosthesis using watercolor painting paper as coloring medium Case report: Female patient, 2 years old came with her mother to Dental Hospital Universitas Sumatera Utara; she was referred by the ophthalmologist to make custom ocular prosthesis. The patient has retinoblastoma and her left eye was enucleated when she was one.....

Abstract: Lateral epicondylitis, or "tennis elbow," is a frequently diagnosed condition and a common cause of pain around elbow joint. The complaint is characterized by pain over the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, which is aggravated with resisted dorsiflexion of the wrist. The incidence is approximately 4 to 7 per 1000 patients per year . Lesion can be in common extensor tendon, extensor Carpi radialis brevis (ECRB), or radial collateral ligament but most commonly extensor Carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) is involved . Repeated tendon overuse leads to micro tear in tendon when stretch exceeds physiological limit of the tissue. There is ongoing inflammatory process besides change in complex tendon structure. Generation of pain may be due to irritation of mechanoreceptors by traction or shear.....

Abstract: Background: Pregnant women have a variety of physiological changes, including adjustments to their immunological, haematological, cardiovascular, and hormone systems. Previous studies have documented some physiological ocular changes such as in CCT, corneal curvature, IOP, corneal sensitivity, aqueous humour outflow, refractive changes, and allergies. Corneal sensitivity, IOP and CCT during pregnancy have been the subject of studies, however the information is localised and limited, and no meta-analysis has been recently published in Indian population, therefore this study was conducted. Materials and methods: In a prospective longitudinal study, 60 pregnant women aged 18-35 years were examined for changes in CCT, corneal sensitivity.......

Abstract: Background:On comparison, red blood cell count and haemoglobin concentrations in four distinct ABO blood groups produced inconsistent findings. The goal of the current study was to examine potential variations in haemoglobin content and red blood cell counts among undergraduate medical students of the four ABO blood groups. Materials and Methods:A total of 97 students were recruited for this study. The study group consisted of 39 males and 58 females. A red blood cell count was done using Neubauer's hemocytometer, and Sahli's method was used to estimate haemoglobin levels. The blood groups of the subjects were determined using the slide method. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS software version 22......

Abstract: Congenital tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) results from the failure of lateral septation on the digestive and respiratory tracts during the embryonic stage of development. TEF is usually diagnosed during infancy, because >98% of patients with TEF are associated with atresia of the esophagus which may have potential life-threatening complications. The isolated fistula without esophageal atresia, termed as H-type, accounts for approximately 4% of tracheoesophageal malformations. Early diagnosis of H-type TEF can be difficult because of nonspecific symptoms. Recurrent respiratory tract infections and chronic cough with unexplained etiology should alert physicians for this diagnosis.

Abstract: Adipose tissue is lipid storage organ. Lipogenesis and Lipolysis plays an important role in its metabolism. The triglycerides either carried as chylomicrons or endogenous triglycerides packaged as Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) are acted upon by the enzyme lipoprotein lipase to release fatty acids which are taken by the AT and stored as triglycerides. The uptake and release of fatty acids by the adipose tissue is regulated by LPL and the vasculature of AT.

Abstract: Teaching is one of the most accomplished professions of every nation. It influences the life of every student and lays the foundation for a right academic journey. It is said that a teacher makes around 1500 decisions per day related to curriculum, instructional methods, feedback, assessment and reflection. Yet the teaching is devalued in higher education with laying emphasis on research. It is said that strength inhigher education teaching is a critical element in ensuring strength in the sector as a whole. Quality teaching involves the student experience, graduate outcomes and employer satisfaction. The university needs to commit itself on

Abstract: La pancréatite aiguë hypertriglycéridémique (PAHTG) se manifeste généralement chez des patients souffrant de dyslipidémie sous-jacente et peut être déclenchée par des affections secondaires telles qu'un diabète déséquilibré, une intoxication éthylique chronique ou la période gestationnelle. Bien que les symptômes de la PAHTG soient similaires à ceux d'autres types de pancréatite aiguë, la PAHTG est souvent associée à une plus grande sévérité clinique et à un taux de complications plus élevés. Par conséquent, un diagnostic précis est essentiel pour administrer aux patients le traitement le plus approprié et prévenir la récurrence de la maladie. Notre étude vise à souligner l'importance de reconnaitre l'hypertriglycéridémie sévère comme une cause sous-estimée de la pancréatite aigüe grave. A cet effet, nous présentons deux cas cliniques de patients ayant développé une PAHTG, afin de sensibiliser à cette problématique souvent sous-estimée.
