Challenges in handling a civilian mass pediatric disaster during flood relief in a partially inundated armed forces medical facility.

Background: Armed forces hospitals are often called upon to provide medical aid to civilians during natural calamities. Though children are often the most vulnerable segment of population in these events, research that addresses their unique needs and the role of armed forces hospitals remains sparse.

Objectives: We examined pediatric morbidity and mortality at a flooded armed forces hospital.

5G Technology for healthcare and its health effects: Wonders, dangers, and diligence.

"Radiation uses and ubiquitousness: The good, bad, and limits" an earlier review was published before launch of 5 Generation (5G) mobile networks technology. Now with 5G technology's upcoming use, its advantages need to be used for advancing healthcare. All this for best applications possible and as safely as possible.

Specialized centers are needed for nephrology and urology care of children. The justifications are the specialized nature of care needed and the growing incidence and prevalence. Children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at risk of morbidity, mortality, and decreased quality of life.

"Technology Proficiency" in Medical Education: Worthiness for Worldwide Wonderful Competency and Sophistication.

Purpose: Advances in bioinformatics, information technology, advanced computing, imaging techniques are changing fundamentally the way physicians define, diagnose, treat, and prevent disease. New disciplines - Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Computational Biology - are improving healthcare. Digital health solutions have immense scope.

General Surgery: Requirements, Rationale, and Robust Results.

Safe, timely, and affordable surgical care is desirable worldwide, but is largely an unmet need. Surgical care is recognized as an important component of public health. Vision for sustainable surgical development is desirable, and general surgeons can contribute substantially toward this mission.

Congenital heart disease: Saving lives and securing liveliness with early primary care and expert family care.

Pertinent perspectives for practical applications is advantageous professionalism. Congenital heart diseases (CHDs) are of varied types, severity, and complexity. Simple scientific approach along with sophistication is required for successful management at all levels.

Study of psychological effects of deployment at extreme high altitude area on soldiers.

Background: The Indian Armed Forces are fighting the battle at extreme High Altitude, the most inhospitable terrain in the world, for the last thirty five years. The stress of being isolated under harsh environmental conditions on a daily basis can have an adverse effect on their mind. However, so far, no study has been undertaken to assess the psychological effects of deployment at extreme High Altitude.

A clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal Anti-VEGF therapy in treating macular edema due to retinal venous occlusions.

Background: A non-randomized, interventional study was carried out various types of retinal venous occlusions with significant macular edema who required an Anti-VEGF injection.

Method: One hundred and one consecutive patients diagnosed as a case of CRVO/HCRVO/BRVO were enrolled in the study provided they had significant macular edema. Atleast three intra-vitreal injections of Anti-VEGFs were given and both the pre and post injections BCVA and CMT on OCT were observed and analyzed.

COMPUTERISATION : NEED OF THE HOUR.

Medical branches at formation headquarter and certain hospitals have taken into use Personal Computers (PCs) for data entry. Military Hospital Secunderabad has been progressing Project DHANWANTARI which is an on line medical information system. The type of network is host based to be developed into a Local Area Network (LAN).

ABDOMINAL INCISIONAL HERNIAS - A REVIEW OF 50 OPERATED PATIENTS.

Fifty patients (5 men and 45 women) in the age group of 25 to 65 years with abdominal incisional hernia were studied. The most common antecedent cause (in 86 per cent patients) was found to be a gynaecological operative procedure done earlier through a lower midline incision. All patients underwent anatomical repair and were followed-up after repair for an average of 18 months (range 6-32 months).
