Justification: Global developmental delay (GDD) is a relatively common neurodevelopmental disorder; however, paucity of published literature and absence of uniform guidelines increases the complexity of clinical management of this condition. Hence, there is a need of practical guidelines for the pediatrician on the diagnosis and management of GDD, summarizing the available evidence, and filling in the gaps in existing knowledge and practices.

Process: Seven subcommittees of subject experts comprising of writing and expert group from among members of Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) and its chapters of Neurology, Neurodevelopment Pediatrics and Growth Development and Behavioral Pediatrics were constituted, who reviewed literature, developed key questions and prepared the first draft on guidelines after multiple rounds of discussion.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is caused by Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and presents with respiratory symptoms which can be life threatening in severe cases. At the start of the pandemic, allergy, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were considered as risk factors for COVID-19 as they tend to exacerbate during respiratory viral infections. Recent literature has not shown that airway allergic diseases is a high-risk factor or that it increases the severity of COVID-19.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and radiological results of no bone graft (NBG) after opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) with a locking plate and to compare the bone union rate between the synthetic bone graft (SBG) group and the NBG group after OWHTO using serial radiographs.

Methods: From 2012 to 2015, OWHTOs were performed with SBG or without bone graft using long locking plates. Inclusion criteria were: (1) OWHTO for disease of the medial compartment with varus deformity, and (2) minimum 2-year follow-up and radiographs taken serially to 2 years.

Background: Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) compromise the development and attainment of full social and economic potential at individual, family, community, and country levels. Paucity of data on NDDs slows down policy and programmatic action in most developing countries despite perceived high burden.

Methods And Findings: We assessed 3,964 children (with almost equal number of boys and girls distributed in 2-<6 and 6-9 year age categories) identified from five geographically diverse populations in India using cluster sampling technique (probability proportionate to population size).

Genitogluteal porokeratosis: a clinical review.

Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol

May 2018

Department of Dermatology, Mumbai Port Trust Hospital, Mumbai, India.

Porokeratosis is an uncommon disorder of keratinization that presents with keratotic papules or annular plaques that expand centrifugally with a thread-like elevated border. A distinctive histologic structure, the cornoid lamella, is diagnostic of this disorder and consists of a column of parakeratosis with the absence of the granular layer and dyskeratotic cells in the upper spinous zone. Porokeratosis confined to the genitogluteal region is rare and may be subclassified into three types, namely, classical porokeratosis on the genital region, ptychotropic porokeratosis most often seen in the natal cleft and buttocks and penoscrotal porokeratosis that is seen on the penis and adjacent scrotal skin in young men in their third decade of life.

September 2017

Mumbai Port Trust Hospital, Flat No. 4, Charak, Mumbai Port Trust Hospital Campus, Wadala (E), Mumbai, Maharashtra 400037 India.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhoea is the leakage of CSF through the communication between the subarachnoid space and the nasal cavity. Surgical repair is indicated in all cases of spontaneous leaks, recurrent leaks, leaks that do not stop after conservative management and cases with history of meningitis. We present a rare case of spontaneous (delayed onset post traumatic) CSF rhinorrhoea with multiple defect sites, which was treated with an endonasal endoscopic repair.

Introduction: Bone grafting is an integral part of orthopaedic surgery; the use of bone graft is increasing consistently in traumatology and also in complex revision surgeries of hip and knee arthroplasties. Considering this fact there is a need for some way to find solution for a bone graft which has more osteoinduction, osteoconduction as well as osteogenecity and also reduced rates of graft rejection and transmission of infections. All these qualities are found in autogenous bone graft.

Tragal cartilage with perichondrium would appear to be a better graft material with good hearing outcome.
