Development of Prediction Model for Mean Parotid Dose of HNC Undergoing Radiotherapy - A Single Institutional Study.

Aim: The aim of the study was to develop a simple prediction model based on previous treatment plans for head-and-neck cancer (HNC).

Materials And Methods: This study was conducted on 95 patients who underwent volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) with curative intent for HNC at our institute between January 2016 and December 2022 with intact bilateral parotid glands. Two simple prediction models were used: one linear regression model and one exponential model.

Comparison of Bupivacaine Plus Magnesium Sulfate and Ropivacaine Plus Magnesium Sulfate Infiltration for Postoperative Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Lumbar Laminectomy: A Randomized Double-blinded Study.

Aim: The objective of this study was to assess and compare the analgesic duration of local infiltration of bupivacaine plus magnesium sulfate and ropivacaine plus magnesium sulfate for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing lumbar laminectomy.

Study Design: A randomized, prospective, double-blinded single hospital, comparative study.

Methods: Sixty adult patients of the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical Status I and II were randomly allocated into two Groups BM and RM, comprising 30 and 31 patients.

Giant Haemangioma Excision Under Cervical Epidural Anaesthesia: A Viable Alternative to General Anaesthesia.

The cervical epidural anaesthesia is a safe anaesthetic technique with minimal morbidity and early postoperative recovery. Cervical epidural anaesthesia can be effectively used for neck, upper arm and chest surgeries. The technique avoids the adverse effects of general anaesthetics and airway instrumentation, especially in patients with cardio respiratory disorders.

Estimation of Skin to Subarachnoid Space Depth: An Observational Study.

Introduction: In a patient, the skin to Subarachnoid Space Depth (SSD) varies considerably at different levels of the spinal cord. It also varies from patient to patient at the same vertebral level as per age, sex and Body Mass Index (BMI). Estimation of the skin to SSD reduces complications related to spinal anaesthesia.
