Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Army Hospital, Chandigarh, Punjab, India.

Fallopian tube papilloma (FTP) is one of the benign lesions of the oviduct and is a rare proliferative epithelial lesion. Low incidence and underreporting of the disease limit our knowledge of these lesions. These lesions cause a diagnostic dilemma and need to be differentiated from several other conditions of the fallopian tubes both benign and malignant.

This retrospective study aimed to assess the efficacy of bleomycin and sodium tetradecyl sulphate (STS) as sclerotherapeutic treatment modalities for low-flow vascular and lymphatic malformations. A total of 30 patients in age group of 9-60 years with vascular and lymphatic anomalies in the head and neck region were included in our study and divided into two groups of 15 each. Patients in group 1 received bleomycin injections, while group 2 received STS for treatment.

  • The study aimed to assess the relationship between fibroid vascularization and heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) using 3D power Doppler and superb microvascular imaging (SMI) in 75 women, dividing them into those with HMB and those without.
  • Results revealed that women with HMB had significantly higher flow rates (peak systolic and end-diastolic velocities) and lower resistance indices in the dominant fibroid's feeding vessel compared to those without HMB.
  • SMI analysis showed a stark contrast in vascularity grades, with 72% of women with HMB exhibiting higher vascularity compared to only 4% in the non-HMB group, highlighting the association between fibroid vascularity and HMB.

  • Intraoperative hypothermia during breast reconstruction surgery may lead to increased wound healing complications, despite advancements in surgical techniques.
  • A comprehensive review of existing studies showed that hypothermia resulted in a statistically significant increase in the risk of wound issues, with a risk ratio of 1.68.
  • While hypothermia did not significantly affect the rates of infection, hematoma, seroma, or necrosis, it remains a pertinent risk factor that needs to be considered in surgical practices.

Human populations face increasing exposure to heavy metals, which pose significant health risks. Dental tissues, such as dentin and enamel, provide a reliable biomarker for assessing long-term heavy metal exposure due to their stable nature. This study aims to explore the variability of heavy metal concentrations in the teeth dentine of residents living in gated versus non-gated societies near the Yamuna River around the Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, India.

Advances in the field of oncology have led to the advent of doxorubicin (DOX), an anthracycline chemotherapeutic agent, through which cancer survival rates have remarkably improved. There has, however, been a rise in adverse effects from the use of DOX, most notably cardiotoxicity. DOX-induced cardiotoxicity is thought to arise through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), causing mitochondrial dysfunction in the cardiomyocytes.
