Evaluation of different doses of dexmedetomidine for awake fibreoptic nasotracheal intubation in patients undergoing oromaxillofacial and oral malignancy surgeries: A randomised, double-blind study.

Background And Aims: In patients undergoing cancer surgeries with anticipated difficult airway, awake fibreoptic nasotracheal intubation (AFONI) is critical for securing the airway. However, different doses of dexmedetomidine (DEX) are yet to be evaluated in these patients. Thus, we compared three doses of DEX for AFONI in patients undergoing oromaxillofacial and oral malignancy surgeries.

Lyme Disease Presenting With Interesting Neurological Features of Weakness and Hyporeflexia: A Case Report.

Lyme disease is a tick-borne bacterial infection caused primarily by three pathogenic species of spirochete (, , and ). It has a wide range of clinical manifestations ranging in severity. Although, it is generally divided into three phases: early localized, early disseminated, and late disease.

Exploring the Relationship Between the Indices of Body Composition With Grip Strength Performance and Peak VO2.

Background The importance of measurements of body composition in terms of various indices including Body Mass Index (BMI), Body Surface Area (BSA), Body Size Index (BSI), and Waist to Height ratio (WtHR) in the diagnosis of health risks and mortality outcome analysis has largely been limited to their use relating to determining abdominal obesity. The understanding of the extent of implications of the newer, underutilized indices of body composition is deficient. Peak VO(maximal oxygen uptake) majorly serves for the evaluation of the measure of aerobic capacity.

Anterior Tooth Replacement of Avulsed Deciduous Tooth: Resin-Reinforced Fiber With Natural Tooth Pontic.

Sudden tooth loss can be a traumatic experience that affects a child psychologically and hampers social skills in today's world, in which appearances seem to matter from a young age. The child becomes afraid to smile freely. Besides appearances, missing anterior teeth can hamper clarity in speech.

Treatment of diaphyseal forearm fracture with interlocking intramedullary nailing: A pilot study.

Introduction: The present study was done to assess the functional outcome and complications of interlocking intramedullary (IM) radius ulna nailing to treat radio-ulna fractures in adults.

Methodology: Thirty adult patients with diaphyseal or segmental fractures of radius and ulna were included and treated with IM nailing. Grace and Eversmann rating system was used to assess functional evaluation and grip strength was measured using grasp dynamometer.

Prevalence of Pet Dog Ownership in an Urban Colony of East Delhi and Awareness Regarding Canine Zoonotic Diseases and Responsible Pet Ownership among Dog Owners.

Background: India has lowly prioritized pet-associated zoonosis as a public health priority because data regarding the same and the susceptible population involved are sparse.

Objective: To find the proportion of pet dog ownership in a settled urban colony of East Delhi and to assess awareness regarding canine zoonotic diseases and responsible pet ownership.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study of 700 participants in an urban colony of East Delhi.

Principles of Management of Extremity Skeletal Metastasis.

Understanding the epidemiology of extremity skeletal metastasis and the factors deciding the treatment decision-making are essential in developing a diagnostic and treatment strategy. This leads to optimum care and reduces disease-related burden. With the evolution of medical, radiation therapy, and surgical methods, cancer care has improved the quality of life for patients with improved survival and functional status in patients with skeletal metastasis.

Dysautonomia and Headache in the Pediatric Population.

Dysautonomia and headache are 2 common diagnoses within pediatric neurology; in the case of dysautonomia, a lack of consideration may lead to misdiagnosis. Despite being common conditions, there is a lot to learn about each individually as well as collectively. Many of the symptoms between headache and dysautonomia patients overlap making the diagnosis difficult.

A clinician's reference guide for the management of atopic dermatitis in Asians.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common skin condition among Asians. Recent studies have shown that Asian AD has a unique clinical and immunologic phenotype compared with European/American AD.

Objective: The Asian Academy of Dermatology and Venereology Expert Panel on Atopic Dermatitis developed this reference guide to provide a holistic and evidence-based approach in managing AD among Asians.

Complete eventration of right hemidiaphragm: A rare presentation.

Eventration of the diaphragm is a term used to describe an abnormal elevation of part or whole of the hemidiaphragm, where the whole or part of the diaphragm is made up of a thin fibro membranous sheet replacing normal diaphragmatic musculature. Complete and partial eventration both can occur, however, complete eventration of the right hemidiaphragm in an adult female, as presented in this patient, is rarely seen.
