Article Synopsis
- A cross-sectional study was conducted in Pakistan to analyze the clinical characteristics of Childhood Lichen Planus (LP) in patients under 15 years of age at a Tertiary Care Hospital from December 2021 to December 2023.
- The study found that the average age of onset was approximately 9.8 years, with 94.4% of patients experiencing pruritus; classic LP was the most common type identified.
- The research concluded that childhood LP is rare, closely resembles adult LP, and shows no significant gender preference, with instances of nail and mucosal involvement being particularly uncommon.
Hyperkalaemia is one of the common electrolyte imbalances dealt with in the emergency department and is caused by extracellular accumulation of potassium ions above normal limits usually greater than 5.0-5.5 mmol/L.

The objective of the study was to compare the immunohistochemical expression of EGFR in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) with oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) and their demographic and pathologic parameters.
Methods: This study was a comparative cross-sectional analytical study.
Ventilator-assisted priming of an anaesthesia circuit (VAP technique): An exploratory study.
Indian J Anaesth
November 2022
Background And Aims: The speed of inhalational induction depends on a variety of factors, of which priming the breathing circuit with volatile anaesthetics plays a vital role. This study compared ventilator-assisted priming (VAP) and a passive priming technique using different fresh gas flows (FGFs) in neonatal, paediatric, and adult anaesthetic circuits.
Methods: In both techniques, FGF with 100% oxygen and 8% sevoflurane vaporiser concentration were set at 2 Lmin, 4 Lmin, and 8 Lmin, representing three groups FGF-2, FGF-4, and FGF-8, respectively.
