We report a primigravida 31-year-old female patient hospitalized at 32 gestational weeks with status epilepticus. In due course of illness, she developed refractory status epilepticus managed with induced coma with propofol and emergency early lower section caesarean surgery (LSCS). A battery of initial laboratory and radiological tests did not lead to a definite diagnosis.

Aim To evaluate and compare the antimicrobial efficacy of nisin in different carriers against . Materials and methods Test materials were divided into four groups of five samples each as follows: group 1 = nisin + 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA); group 2 = nisin + 2% chitosan; group 3 = nisin + 2% chlorhexidine; group 4 = nisin + distilled water (control). The antimicrobial effectiveness was assessed using the direct contact method, where a standardized suspension was applied to the test materials.

Introduction: Success of endodontic treatment relies on minimizing microbial load by chemo-mechanical preparation and intra-canal medication(ICM). Calcium hydroxide based ICMs have known disadvantages. Calcium silicate-based cements(CSC) exhibit antibacterial activity, thus promoting researchers to experiment with their formulations to use them as ICMs.

Introduction: Sepsis leads to left and/or right ventricular systolic and/or diastolic dysfunction resulting in adverse outcomes. Myocardial dysfunction can be diagnosed by echocardiography (ECHO) and early intervention can be planned. There are lacunae in Indian literature regarding the true incidence of septic cardiomyopathy and its influence on the outcome of patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU).

Background And Aims: Video Stylet (VS) is a new intubating modality that provides real-time video of endotracheal intubation (ETI). This device does not need alignment of the oral, pharyngeal and tracheal axes to view glottis and can be used in patients with limited mouth opening. The aim of this study was to compare flexible fibre-optic (FO) bronchoscope with VS in elective surgical patients in apparently normal airway patients requiring oral ETI.

Accidental extubation during intra operative period especially during oral surgery is challenging for any anaesthesiologist. Securing the definitive airway during this period is not only crucial and life saving but also challenging to the anaesthesia provider. Here we report a case which got extubated during hemimandibulectomy and was successfully reintubated using King Vision video laryngoscope.
