Prospective Study Comparing Clinical vs Indocyanine Green Fluorescence-Based Assessment of Line of Transection in Robotic Rectal Cancer Surgery-Indian Study.

Anastomotic leakage continues to be the most feared postoperative complications in rectal surgery with negative impact on both short- and long-term outcomes. Fortunately, new surgical strategies have helped to offset this complication and improve surgical outcomes. Traditionally, perfusion is assessed by intraoperative visual judgment by the surgeon.

A prospective study of real-time identification of line of transection in robotic colorectal cancer surgery by ICG.

Colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer in women and the third most common cancer in men in the world. Surgical resection is the gold standard treatment and minimally invasive surgery remains the standard of care. Anastomotic leakage is one of the most feared postoperative complications in colorectal surgery.

In vitro allogeneic immune cell response to mesenchymal stromal cells derived from human adipose in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

We investigated the regulatory activity of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) (n=10) towards immune cells in a cohort of 84 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, 36 apparently healthy controls. We co-cultured MSCs with lymphocyte subsets of T, B, and T regulatory cells (Tregs). Levels of the pro- and anti-inflammatory markers (tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interferon gamma (IFN-γ), and interleukin-10 (IL-10)) were estimated in serum and co-culture supernatants.

Femoral and Tibial Tunnel Widening following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction using Various Modalities of Fixation: A Prospective Observational Study.

Introduction: Bone tunnel enlargement after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACL-R) is a well-accepted phenomenon but there are very few published data comparing the extent of tunnel widening by various methods of fixation after ACL-R.

Aim: To compare the femoral and tibial tunnel widening following ACL-R with different methods of fixation using CT scan.

Materials And Methods: This one year prospective study included all patients with chronic Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury who underwent primary arthroscopic ACL-R using tripled hamstring tendon autograft.

Study of Basic Coagulation Parameters among HIV Patients in Correlation to CD4 Counts and ART Status.

Introduction: HIV infection is known to cause coagulation abnormalities by various mechanism, especially during its late course.

Aim: The objective of this study was to analyse platelet count, prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time among HIV infected patients and to analyse these parameters with respect to their CD4 count and ART status.

Materials And Methods: A case control study was conducted with 120 HIV infected patients and 40 normal individuals.

Malignant Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis-A Rare Entity.

Introduction: Malignant pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) or Malignant giant cell tumour tendon sheath (MGCTTS) is a controversial and debatable lesion. Few case reports have indicated the potential for metastasis.1These aggressive cases are designated malignant giant cell tumour tendon sheath or malignant PVNS.

Karyomegalic interstitial nephritis with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis: A rare association.

Karyomegalic interstitial nephritis (KIN) is a rare form of, progressive chronic interstitial nephritis. We present a case of KIN in a child, who was also found to have nephrotic syndrome because of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis on renal biopsy. To our knowledge, this is the first case of KIN associated with glomerulopathy.

Thrombotic microangiopathy in renal allografts.

Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a serious complication of renal transplantation. It is a morphological expression of various etiological factors. In a renal allograft, TMA can occur de novo or be a recurrent disease.
