Buccal versus buccal palatal infiltration for pulpal anesthesia using 2% lidocaine and 4% articaine: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: The inability in achieving complete pulpal anesthesia with standard buccal infiltration especially in cases with SIP used for maxillary teeth. The study aimed to compare the anesthetic efficacy of buccal and buccal plus palatal infiltration technique using 2% lidocaine and 4% articaine in permanent maxillary first molars with the diagnosis of symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (SIP).

Material And Method: One hundred and twenty-three patients with clinical diagnosis of SIP, aged 18-50 years were randomly allocated to three treatment groups (N = 41).

Minimally invasive endoscopic management of tubercular tenosynovitis of the anterior tibial tendon.

Unlabelled: The incidence of tubercular tenosynovitis around the foot and ankle is rare even in endemic areas. We present an unusual case involving the isolated tubercular tenosynovitis of the Anterior Tibial tendon, which was successfully managed through a combination of medical treatment and endoscopic intervention. Our patient, a 30-year-old female, sought medical attention due to a gradually worsening painful swelling localized to the anterior aspect of her left ankle.

A systematic review of techniques for step cut osteotomy in cubitus varus: A comprehensive analysis.

Background: Cubitus varus, a common post-traumatic deformity of the elbow in children, poses challenges for both patients and surgeons. Step cut osteotomy has emerged as a reasonable surgical technique to address this condition, offering multiple approaches and modifications.

Methods: We present a comprehensive systematic review of techniques for step cut osteotomy in cubitus varus, analyzing 13 studies that meet our inclusion criteria.

Demystifying Giant Cell Tumours of Tendon Sheath (GCTTS): A Case Series of 18 Cases with Review of Literature.

Background: The giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) is the second most frequent soft tissue tumour affecting the hand. No consensus exists on the etiology, prognostic factors, or recurrence rate of GCTTS. This article presents a series of 18 cases supplemented by a literature review that examines the epidemiology, presentation, gross and microscopic characteristics, and recurrence rate of GCTTS.

Efficacy of Autologous Conditioned Serum (ACS), Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and Steroid for Early Osteoarthritis Knee: A Comparative Analysis.

Background: Intra-articular injection therapy constituting corticosteroids, viscosupplements and blood-derived products are considered to have a key role in non-operative management of osteoarthritis knee. While corticosteroids and viscosupplements have proven short-term efficacy in early osteoarthritis; orthobiologics are gaining increased attention in osteoarthritis management. The aim of present study was thus to compare two commonly used biologics (platelet-rich plasma/PRP and autologous conditioned serum/ACS) to each other and to established therapies.

Comparison of midterm results of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) versus Steroid for plantar fasciitis: A randomized control trial of 118 patients.

Background: Plantar fasciitis, which is a common cause of heel pain, often results in significant morbidity. In cases who are not responsive to initial conservative treatment, invasive procedures, often in the form of local infiltration of steroid are required. These procedures are associated with significant complications.

Toxicity of Organic Solvent in a Young Painter Presenting as Transient Hepatitis: A Case Report.

Organic solvents widely used in paint manufacturing, painting, and shoemaking industries may be associated with hepatotoxicity. We present a case report of a patient with prolonged occupational exposure to organic solvents who developed transient hepatitis. Monitoring contact to these chemicals and early identification of biological markers of occupational exposure should be done.
