Thyromental height test for prediction of difficult laryngoscopy in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgical procedure.

Background: Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedures have higher incidence of difficult laryngoscopy and intubation than general surgery population. Accurate prediction of difficult laryngoscopy in CABG patients is desirable to reduce the hemodynamic response and myocardial oxygen requirements. Recently, thyromental height test (TMHT) has been proposed as one of the highly sensitive and specific bedside tests to predict difficult airway.

Early Cranioplasty in Patients With Posttraumatic Decompressive Craniectomy and Its Correlation with Changes in Cerebral Perfusion Parameters and Neurocognitive Outcome.

Background: Decompressive craniectomy is a life-saving procedure in many patients after traumatic brain injury. Delayed recovery in such patients can be attributed to various causes. Cranioplasty (CP) helps in early improvement of neurocognitive function along with better brain protection and cosmesis.

Surgical management of pygopagus conjoined twins with spinal bifida.

Purpose: Conjoined twins are a rare complication of 9 monozygotic twins and are associated with high perinatal mortality. Pygopagus are one of the rare types of conjoined twins with only a handful of cases reported in the literature. We present the case of one-and-half month-old male pygopagus conjoined twins, who were joined together dorsally in lower lumbar and sacral region and had spina bifida and shared a single thecal sac with combined weight of 6.

A Novel Approach using Hydrotropic Solubalization Technique for Quantitative Estimation of Entacapone in Bulk Drug and Dosage Form.

Purpose: Analysis of drug utilized the organic solvent which are costlier, toxic and causing environment pollution. Hydrotropic solution may be a proper choice to preclude the use of organic solvents so that a simple, accurate, novel, safe and precise method has been developed for estimation of poorly water soluble drug Entacapone (Water Solubility-7.97e-(02) g/l).

Novel UV-spectrophotometric method for quantitative estimation of furazolidone using mixed hydrotropic agent.

A novel, eco friendly, accurate, sensitive, economic and safe spectrophotometric method was developed by application of mixed hydrotropy using 2 M sodium acetate, 8 M urea, 2 M niacinamide and 2 M sodium benzoate solution (25:25:25:25% V/V) as hydrotropic agent, for the solubalizing of poorly water-soluble Furazolidone (FZ) (solubility:- 3.64e-01 mg/mL in water). There were more than 32 times enhancements in the solubility of FZ were found in mixed hydrotropic solution as compared to solubilities in distilled water.

Protective role of Beta vulgaris L. leaves extract and fractions on ethanol-mediated hepatic toxicity.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the hepatoprotective action of Beta vulgaris Linn. (BV, Chenopodiaceae) leaves against ethanol-mediated hepatotoxicity. Rat hepatocyte culture and rats were used as in vitro and in vivo screening models, respectively.

Yoga cAMP in ayurvedgrams of chhattisgarh.

The clinical and empirical health benefits of yoga and pranayam have been reiterated through research. Yoga is being adopted as a system to alleviate the burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) across the globe. The Directorate of AYUSH, Government of Chhattisgarh (DoA, GoCG) conducts annual 5-day-yoga camp across 146 Ayurvedgrams in the State.

Protective effects of Phyllanthus acidus (L.) Skeels leaf extracts on acetaminophen and thioacetamide induced hepatic injuries in Wistar rats.

Objective: To investigate and compare the hepatoprotective effects of crude ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Phyllanthus acidus (L.) Skeels (P. acidus) leaves on acetaminophen (APAP) and thioacetamide (TAA) induced liver toxicity in wistar rats.
