A Case Series of Positional Variations in the Spine of Henle: A Surgical Conundrum.

The temporal bone is a complex anatomical space that houses the middle ear and its ossicles, as well as the inner ear, which includes the vestibule, cochlea, and the semicircular canals. Henle's spine, also known as the suprameatal spine/spina suprameatica/ is found to guide the lateral wall of the mastoid antrum [J Res Med Dent Sci 8(7):420-422, Stat-Pearls Publishing, Treasure Island.

Intratendinous Ganglion Cyst of the Semitendinosus Tendon: First Reported Case and Literature Review.

Introduction: Ganglion cysts are commonly seen in wrist joints and knee joint, but intra-tendinous ganglion cysts are extremely rare. We report the first case of intratendinous ganglion cyst of semi-tendinous tendon.

Case Report: A 4-year-old boy presented with painless soft tissue swelling over knee with no history of recent trauma.

Cosmetic evaluation of surgical scars after external dacryocystorhinostomy.

Aim: To evaluate the surgical scars of external dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) cosmetically.

Methods: Totally 50 consecutive cases of primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO) were included in the study. Surgical scars were assessed by the patients and two independent observers at 2, 6 and 12wk postoperatively on the basis of visibility of the scars and still photographs respectively and were graded from 0-3.

Value of interactive scanning for improving the outcome of new-learners in transcontinental tele-echocardiography (VISION-in-Tele-Echo) study.

Background: Point-of-care (POC) echocardiography may be helpful for mass triage, but such a strategy requires adequately trained sonographers at the remote site. The aim of this study was to test the feasibility of using a novel POC echocardiography training program for improving physicians' imaging skills during preanesthetic cardiac evaluations performed in a community camp organized for treating cataract blindness.

Methods: Seventeen physicians were provided 6 hours of training in the use of POC echocardiography; nine were taught on site and eight were taught online through a transcontinental tele-echocardiography system.

Rapid Screening for Subclinical Atherosclerosis by Carotid Ultrasound Examination: The HAPPY (Heart Attack Prevention Program for You) Substudy.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related death rates have been escalating in emerging economies such as India. A strategy to initiate prophylactic medical intervention by direct identification of subclinical atherosclerotic burden may be appropriate in rural populations where assessment based on traditional risk factors is not available.

Objectives: This study sought to investigate the feasibility of performing rapid automated carotid ultrasound studies in a rural setting and to measure the prevalence of carotid plaques and age-specific distribution of carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) as an index of subclinical atherosclerosis.

American Society of Echocardiography: Remote Echocardiography with Web-Based Assessments for Referrals at a Distance (ASE-REWARD) Study.

Background: Developing countries face the dual burden of high rates of cardiovascular disease and barriers in accessing diagnostic and referral programs. The aim of this study was to test the feasibility of performing focused echocardiographic studies with long-distance Web-based assessments of recorded images for facilitating care of patients with cardiovascular disease.

Methods: Subjects were recruited using newspaper advertisements and were prescreened by paramedical workers during a community event in rural north India.
