Purpose: This study is aimed to determine the frequency, sociodemographic profile, clinical presentation, patterns of injury, treatment and outcomes of cases of simultaneous bilateral ocular trauma treated in a teaching hospital of Northern India.

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted from May 2015 to April 2019. The medical records of patients presenting with bilateral ocular injuries were reviewed.

Tragal Perichondrium and Composite Cartilage Graft Complimenting Endoscopic Tympanoplasty in True Sense: A Comparison.

Introduction: In days of scar less surgeries it has become necessary for otologists to concentrate on tympanoplasties without external incisions. This study compares the anatomical and functional results of tragal perichondrium graft and perichondrium-cartilage composite graft for transcanal endoscopic tympanoplasties in Himalayan region.

Methods And Materials: This prospective study included 60 subjects of chronic otitis media (mucosal type), who underwent transcanal endoscopic underlay type I tympanoplasty and were divided into two groups.

Serum Malondialdehyde as a Biomarker of Oxidative Stress in Patients with Primary Ocular Carcinoma: Impact on Response to Chemotherapy.

Purpose: To study the level of serum malondialdehyde (MDA), a biomarker of oxidative stress before and after chemotherapy in various ocular malignancies and to correlate its significance with clinicopathological parameters.

Methods: Thirty two histopathologically confirmed cases of primary ocular malignancies were included in this longitudinal cohort study. Detailed clinicopathological assessment was done.

Clinicopathological Analysis and Demographic Features of Ocular Malignancies.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the epidemiological and clinicopathological spectrum of ocular malignancies among patients presenting to a teaching hospital in Northern India.

Methods: A total of 246 histopathologically diagnosed patients with ocular malignancies were included in the study. Tumor type and size, primary origin and location of tumor, clinical staging, radiological findings, histopathological type, and treatment outcomes were assessed.

The epidemiology of ocular trauma in Northern India: A teaching hospital study.

Aim: The aim was to determine the epidemiology of ocular trauma in a large teaching hospital in northern India over 4 years from 2010 to 2014.

Materials And Methods: This prospective, hospital-based, observational study was conducted at the Ophthalmology and Emergency Outpatient Departments of S. S.

Optical Coherence Tomography and Subclinical Optical Neuritis in Longitudinally Extensive Transverse Myelitis.

Objective: The aim is to compare the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness of longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) eyes without previous optic neuritis with that of healthy control subjects.

Methods: Over 20 LETM eyes and 20 normal control eyes were included in the study and subjected to optical coherence tomography to evaluate and compare the RNFL thickness.

Result: Significant RNFL thinning was observed at 8 o'clock position in LETM eyes as compared to the control eyes ( = 0.

Ichnocarpus frutescens Ameliorates Experimentally Induced Convulsion in Rats.

The present study was carried out to evaluate the anticonvulsant activity and probable mechanism of action of the methanol root extract from I. frutescens (MEIF) using different experimental animal models. Anticonvulsant activity of the single dose of MEIF (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg, p.

Anticancer activity of the roots of Ichnocarpus frutescens R. Br. and isolated triterpenes.

The roots of Ichnocarpus frutescens along with roots of Cissampelos pareira, Bauhinia vahlii and Ardisia solanacea are processed together and given orally to cure stomach cancer by the tribes of Chotanagpur and Santhal parganas of Bihar, India. In vitro anticancer activity of the residue from methanolic extract of roots of I. frutescens (MIF) and isolated triterpenes were evaluated by 3-(4, 5-dimethyl thiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay using MCF-7, BEL-7402, SPC-A-1 and SGC-7901 cancer cell lines.

Quaternary alkaloids of Argemone mexicana.

Four quaternary isoquinoline alkaloids, dehydrocorydalmine, jatrorrhizine, columbamine, and oxyberberine, have been isolated from the whole plant of Argemone mexicana Linn. (Papaveraceae) and their structures established by spectral evidence. This is the first report of these alkaloids (dehydrocorydalmine, jatrorrhizine, columbamine, and oxyberberine) from Argemone mexicana and the Argemone genus.

Cyclopeptide alkaloids from Zizyphus sativa bark.

A new cyclopeptide alkaloid, sativanine-M (1), together with known alkaloid nummularine-P have been isolated from the stem bark of Zizyphus sativa and identified by spectral analysis.

Xylopyrine-A and xylopyrine-B, two new peptide alkaloids from Zizyphus xylopyra.

Two new 13-membered cyclopeptide alkaloids, xylopyrine-A and xylopyrine-B have been isolated from Zizyphus xylopyra, and their structures established by spectral and chemical evidences.

A live cysticercosis in anterior chamber leading to glaucoma secondary to pupilary block.

A 28-year-old woman presented with pain and redness in her left eye. On examination, a free-floating cyst of size 4 mm with prominent scolex was observed in the anterior chamber. Scolex was occasionally moving in and out of its bag.
