Abstract: Background: "Breakthrough contamination" is the overgrowth of resistant non-mycobacterial contaminants in primary culture mainly owing to long incubation period of the later causing physical masking and competition effects. In 2022 Mycobacterial Culture laboratory was initiated in Tripura Medical College for comprehensive study of M.tuberculosis (MTB) through gold standard LJ culture. However since inception the laboratory has noted contamination of few inoculated media with breakthrough contaminants. This study was conducted with an aim to isolate and identify these contaminants growing on LJ media during M. tuberculosis solid culture in both pulmonary and extra pulmonary samples.....

Abstract:Introduction: Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain. Traditionally, local injection of steroid was used widely for chronic plantar fasciitis treatment. In recent years, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is being used successfully for the treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis. Present study was aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of single injection of platelet rich plasma (PRP) and steroid injections in patients of chronic planter fasciitis. Materials and methods: This prospective study was carried out on 40 patients suffering from chronic Plantar Fasciitis who did not respond.......

Abstract: Esthetics continues to be a primary concern for patients seeking orthodontic treatment. There are a continuously increasing numbers of adult patients seeking orthodontic therapy, but these patients often refuse the traditional labial orthodontic treatment because of social or personal or professional reasons .As adults increasingly seek orthodontic treatment, a growth has been witnessed in the demand for aesthetic orthodontics, the ultimate of which are appliances bonded to the lingual surfaces of the teeth. Lingual appliance costs, treatment times, and results were comparable to those of labial appliance treatment. Given these advantages for patients, the perfection of lingual treatment seems worthwhile despite of being technique sensitive. This paper discusses two cases with class I molar malocclusion treated with lingual fixed machanotherapy. First case discussed was treated with non extraction method and the second in extraction method.

Abstract:Metacarpal fractures are frequent injuries of the hand, they constitute 30% of hand fractures. The treatment is not yet well codified and remains a subject of debate and scientific discussion. For unstable and displaced fractures, the treatment is surgical. Thus, two techniques are commonly used: anterograde intramedullary pinning and internal osteosynthesis by screwed mini-plate.

Abstract: The healthcare system in India has come a long way since the country gained independence in 1947. India's healthcare system is vast, diverse, and complex, consisting of public and private healthcare providers. While the Indian healthcare system has made significant progress in several areas, it also faces several challenges. This paper aims to explore the greatest achievements and flaws of the Indian healthcare system. India has made remarkable achievements in healthcare, including the eradication of diseases such as polio, leprosy, and smallpox. The country has also made notable progress in medical research and development, including the production of affordable vaccines.....

Abstract:Introduction: For a long time intranasal adhesion development has been an important complication in the post operative phase of nasal surgery with an incidence which varies from 10% upto 36%. Nasal adhesions form as a result of contact between raw surface of operated nasal septum and the lateral nasal wall. This results in partial or complete nasal obstruction of affected side. Methods: This is an observational study that was conducted during the period of January 2022 to December 2022 in RIMS, Ranchi in the selected group of patients (n=30) who were operated for various nasal pathologies at ENT OT. They were evaluated for synechia formation......

Abstract:Introduction: Peripartum cardiomyopathy is very similar to other forms of non ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy except it's unique relation to pregnancy. It is a diagnosis of exclusion. Preeclampsia is a pregnancy specific syndrome that can affect virtually every organ system and is much more than gestational hypertension and proteinuria. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted at SRN hospital MLN medical college; a tertiary care centre, Prayagraj (U.P) India to study 24hour urinary protein levels in patients of preeclampsia presenting to the tertiary care center and it's relation with reduced EF and development of PPCM. Result: A total of 200 pregnant females were screened......
