Introduction: Micronutrients influence female fertility, thus adequate levels are important for oocyte quality, maturation, fertilisation and implantation. This study prospectively evaluated the impact of oral multinutrient supplementation on fertility outcomes in In vitro fertilisation or Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI).
Materials And Methods: This was a pilot study of N=50 women, who were planning for IVF treatment in University Malaya Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from July to December 2023.
Comparison of Depth of Mastoid Antrum on High Resolution Computed Tomography and Per Operatively in Cases Undergoing Mastoidectomy.
Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- This prospective observational study assessed the depth of the mastoid antrum using High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) and during surgery in 35 patients undergoing mastoidectomy at a military hospital.
- The average depth measured was similar between HRCT (1.625 cm) and surgical measurements (1.651 cm), with significant findings about differences in depth based on age and the presence of Koerner's Septum, but not on gender or specific disease types.
- Ultimately, 82.3% of pediatric and 82.9% of adult patients had deeper mastoid antrum measurements than the standard depth, indicating anatomical variations that may need consideration in clinical practice.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze imaging signs of complications following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) using CT scans to facilitate quicker diagnosis and treatment.
- A total of 41 cases of post-ERCP complications were reviewed, revealing common issues like intra-abdominal collections (51.2%), pancreatitis (48.7%), and bowel perforation (21%).
- Recognizing these complications through imaging is crucial as untreated cases can lead to severe health risks, making it essential for healthcare providers to understand normal and abnormal post-ERCP findings.
Purpose: The study was undertaken to look into the clinicodemographic profile, management, and clinical outcomes of advanced retinoblastoma at a tertiary care center.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted from Jan 2019 to Dec 2022. Forty-two patients of intraocular advanced retinoblastoma were assessed.
Disposal of biodegradable waste of seashells leads to an environmental imbalance. A tremendous amount of wastes produced from flourishing shell fish industries while preparing crustaceans for human consumption can be directed towards proper utilization. The review of the present study focuses on these polysaccharides from crustaceans and a few important industrial applications.
