Abstract: Polymyositis is a rare heterogenous group of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy that usually presents with symmetric and proximal weakness that worsens over several weeks to months. Incidence of interstitial lung disease (ILD) as a presenting feature without signs of clinical myopathy is relatively rare. Hereby we present a rare case of a young female presented with features of ILD without muscle involvement.......

Abstract: Airway management in traumatic situations, particularly when cervical spine movement is restricted, presents challenges for anaesthesia clinicians. This comparative study evaluates the efficacy of endotracheal intubation using video laryngoscope and McCoy laryngoscope in a mannequin with a cervical collar, simulating a traumatic scenario. The primary objective is to compare the success rates of endotracheal intubation between video laryngoscope and McCoy laryngoscope in a simulated..........

Abstract: Background: Anemia is a global public health concern with significant impacts on morbidity, mortality, and productivity. Its prevalence is notably high in developing nations such as India, attributed to factors like poverty, inadequate diet, and limited healthcare access. Iron deficiency stands out as a major cause, contributing to long-term health issues. Anemia's diverse manifestations include orofacial signs, emphasizing the need for early detection and differentiation through laboratory tests. Recognizing anemia's complexity and local variations, this study aims to understand its patterns and etiology among patients in a hospital setting, crucial for effective prevention........

Abstract: Background: American cancer guidelines embraced EBUS-TBNA in diagnosing and staging lung cancer and suggested it as the main step in mediastinal staging, over mediastinoscopy. Ultrasonic bronchoscope has a thicker structure compared to standard fibre-optic bronchoscope, and intense mucosal contact is required to get ultrasonic images, and the time of procedure is long to cause significant patient discomfort. There is a need to prevent laryngospasm and reflex coughing during this procedure, as coughing can cause difficulties in obtaining proper view of target lymph nodes or lesion. Given less literature on anesthetic considerations on EBUS, the current case series was done.....

Abstract: The radioprotection activity of different substances, such as cellular metabolites with antioxidant activity to reduce the cellular damage induced by ionizing radiation has been studied for more than 50 years. Many research studies are focused on the radioprotective efficacy of naturally occurring antioxidants (natural metabolites), and how they might influence various endpoints of radiation damage. Aim: in the current study has been research the irradiation recovery and possible antioxidant activity after feeding the experimental animals with trimethyl glycine (betaine), as a food supplement. Materials and methods...

Abstract: Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the leading cause of cancer in women worldwide. It is also a leading cause of mortality in women. The current management of BC is individualized and is based among others on immunohistochemistry (IHC) of the tumour. Presently, it very expensive and largely unavailable to a large number of our patients. It is therefore essential to have a knowledge of the IHC profile in Ijaw women. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective Multicentre study of all cases of BC diagnosed in women at the main tertiary hospitals in Bayelsa State viz: Niger Delta University Hospital, Okolobiri and the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa......

Abstract: Introduction: Treating cleft abnormalities, infections, and tumors are only a few of the problems that need maxillofacial repair. Effective rehabilitation approaches are necessary because mandibular anomalies, whether they are the result of trauma, tumors, or other circumstances, have a substantial influence on face appearance and oral function. Recent developments in bone repair methods and biomaterials for mandibular defect rehabilitation in oral and maxillofacial surgery are examined in this review. Methodology: ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, PubMed, and other databases were used to do a thorough search. Recent English.....

Abstract: Patellar fracture is a common injury caused by excessive tension through the extensor mechanism or a direct impact. The intact patella increases the leverage and efficiency of the extensor mechanism and articulates with the femoral trochlea. Undisplaced fractures can be treated non operatively. Surgical treatment is recommended for fractures that either disrupt the extensor mechanism or have >2 to 3 mm step-off and >1 to 4 mm of displacement. Anatomic reduction and fixation with a tension-band technique is associated with the best outcomes.......

Abstract: Background Intrauterine contraceptive devices are the most commonly used effective and reversible birth control method. Even though it is relatively safe, it has its own complications and risks. Clients with misplaced iucd may present with pregnancy or lost strings or they may be asymptomatic diagnosed accidentally on imaging for other issues. The aim of reporting this case report is to educate the clients about the regular examination of iucd threads and adequate training of healthcare providers to diagnose misplaced iucd earlier and prevent further complications.
