Jain point laparoscopic entry in contraindications of Palmers point.

Background: This study was conducted to assess the efficacy of the Jain point to overcome the contraindications of Palmer's point. The Jain point lies on the left side of the abdomen at the L4 level, 10-13 cm lateral to the umbilicus. Due to its anatomical location, the Jain point is free from adhesions because postsurgical adhesions are encountered usually in the midline or the right side.

Jain point: an alternate laparoscopic non-umbilical first blind entry port to avoid vessel, viscera, adhesions and bowel (VVAB).

The Jain point entry is based on the concept of non-umbilical entry to avoid sudden catastrophic injury to major retroperitoneal vessels, viscera, adhesions and bowel which could happen before the start of procedure by blind umbilical entry. To study the safety and efficacy of a novel first non-umbilical blind entry port. Tertiary referral centre for advanced laparoscopic surgeries with active training and fellowship programs.

MiADMSA ameliorate arsenic induced urinary bladder carcinogenesis in vivo and in vitro.

Background And Purpose: Arsenicosis is a major threat to public health and is a major cause of the development of urinary bladder cancer. Oxidative/ nitrosative stress is one of the key factors for these effects but the involvement of other associated factors is less known. There is a lack of data for the efficacy of chelator against urinary bladder carcinogenesis.

Fluoride in Drinking Water and Skeletal Fluorosis: a Review of the Global Impact.

When safe and adequate exposure of an essential trace element is exceeded it becomes potentially toxic. Fluoride is one classic example of such a double edged sword which both plays a fundamental role in the normal growth and development of the body for example the consumption of levels between 0.5-1.

Modified phenol peels for treatment-refractory hyperpigmentation of lichen planus pigmentosus: A retrospective clinico-dermoscopic analysis.

Background: Lichen Planus Pigmentosus (LPP), a disorder with stubborn treatment-refractory hyperpigmentation predominantly affects the darker skin. Deep dermal pigmentary incontinence of LPP renders the condition treatment-refractory.

Objectives: Lack of a consistently effective depigmenting treatment protocol of inactive LPP mandates exploration of novel approaches.

Double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of short-course low-dose oral prednisolone in pityriasis rosea.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of short-course low-dose oral prednisolone in symptomatic pityriasis rosea (PR) of onset <5 days and compare it with placebo.

Material And Methods: Placebo-controlled randomized double-blind study design with the treatment group receiving tapering doses of oral prednisolone over 2 weeks and the control group receiving a placebo. Outcome measures evaluated were subsidence of patient-perceived pruritus, improvement in rash quantified by a specific score, adverse effects and relapse at 12 weeks.

Siderophore coated magnetic iron nanoparticles: Rational designing of water soluble nanobiosensor for visualizing Al in live organism.

This article aims to establish the judicious use of iron-binding chemistry of microbial chelators in order to functionalize the surface of iron nanoparticles to develop non-toxic nanobiosensor. Anchoring a simple siderophore 2,3-dihydroxybenzoylglycine (HL), which bears catechol and carboxyl functionalities in tandem, on to the surface of FeO nanoparticles has developed a unique nanobiosensor HL-FeNPs which showed highly selective and sensitive detection of Al in 100% water at physiological pH. The biosensor HL-FeNPs, with 20nM limit of detection, behaves reversibly and instantly.

Dengue in India.

Dengue virus belongs to family Flaviviridae, having four serotypes that spread by the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes. It causes a wide spectrum of illness from mild asymptomatic illness to severe fatal dengue haemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome (DHF/DSS). Approximately 2.
