The Management of Complex Knee Deformity Using Ortho-SUV: A Case Study.

Lower limb deformities are debilitating and affect the function of the lower limb and the social life of the patient. The deformities around the knee joint might be a combination of multiple deformities in various planes including coronal, sagittal, or rotational and may be present in both the femur and the tibia. We present a case of a 19-year-old female with complex deformity around the left knee joint involving both the femur and the tibia with shortening.

Antenatal Diagnosis of Complete Annular Pancreas With Postnatal Surgical Follow-Up: A Case Report.

Annular pancreas is a rare congenital disorder, which is characterized by partial or complete pancreatic tissue surrounding the second part of the duodenum. It can be diagnosed antenatally on ultrasound. We are reporting a case where a double bubble sign on an antenatal scan was seen, which was followed up after the delivery of the baby, and radiography also confirmed the findings.

Seroprevalence and Seroconversion of Hepatitis B and C Viruses in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis: A Cross-sectional Study.

Introduction: Among hemodialysis patients, hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections contribute significantly to mortality and morbidity. Infection with these hepatotropic viruses in hemodialysis patients is due to their increased contact with blood and its derivatives. Additionally, not following the proper protocol for infection control, contaminated devices, and untrained personnel contribute to the nosocomial transmission of these infections.

Staged Limb Reconstruction Using Ilizarov Fixator in an Infected Tibia Nonunion: A Case Report.

Road traffic accidents are responsible for most lower limb compound fractures. Such fractures have to be treated immediately with utmost care and precision. Patients are sometimes inadequately treated with traditional practices which causes further disability to the patient and makes it more difficult for the orthopedic surgeon.

Diagnostic Efficacy of Ultrasound-Based International Ovarian Tumor Analysis Simple Rules and Assessment of the Different Neoplasias in the Adnexa Model in Malignancy Prediction Among Women With Adnexal Masses: A Systematic Review.

Transvaginal ultrasonography (USG) is most commonly used before surgery to accurately diagnose benign and malignant ovarian masses for effective treatment, avoid unnecessary interventions, improve the prognosis of patients, and preserve fertility in patients with benign tumors. Therefore, the objective of the present systematic review was to assess the diagnostic efficacy of ultrasound-based International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) Simple Rules (SR) and Assessment of Different NEoplasias in the adneXa (ADNEX) model in predicting malignancy among women with adnexal masses. A systematic literature search was carried out on electronic databases consisting of Science Direct, PubMed, and Google Scholar.

Limb Reconstruction Using the Ilizarov Technique Following Giant Cell Tumour Excision in the Proximal Tibia of a 19-Year-Old Female: A Case Report.

Giant cell tumours (GCTs) of the proximal tibia are a relatively uncommon lesion among all benign tumours. They can occur at various sites including distal femur, proximal tibia and distal end radius. Various management modalities of GCTs occurring in the knee joint have been described for reconstruction as well as arthrodesis.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Diagnosis of Female Adnexal Masses: Comparison With Histopathological Examination.

Introduction Adnexal masses present a special diagnostic challenge because it is difficult to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions clinically. The diagnosis of malignancy is vital, and imaging is the most important part of the evaluation of adnexal masses. This study was conducted with the goal of comparing the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing female adnexal masses in comparison with histopathology examination (HPE).

Endometrial Aspiration Cytology: A Cross-Sectional Comparative Study of Its Efficacy and Sensitivity in Diagnosing Gynecological Disorders.

Introduction Endometrial aspiration cytology (EAC) is a noninvasive, rapid, and cost-effective procedure for diagnosing gynecological disorders. This study aimed to validate endometrial aspiration as a routine, safe, and efficient outpatient diagnostic procedure, correlating its findings with histopathology evaluations to facilitate early surgical planning for patients with abnormal uterine bleeding. Materials and methods This cross-sectional study involved patients of reproductive, menopausal, and postmenopausal age groups who presented with diverse gynecological concerns that required dilatation and curettage.

A Rare Case of Congenital Plunging Ranulas: Diagnosis With Intraoral and Extraoral Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Ranulas are cystic lesions located in the floor of the mouth. These are "pseudocysts" and are developed due to an obstruction in the sublingual gland. Congenital variants of plunging ranulas are very rare.

Spousal Violence among Reproductive Age Group Women - A Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Spousal or intimate partner violence is the most common form of domestic violence and is a preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in women. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of spousal violence, various types of spousal violence, and the factors associated with it among reproductive age group women.

Materials And Methods: This was an analytical cross-sectional study conducted in the Urban Health Training Center area of a tertiary care teaching hospital in Nagpur, India, among married women between 15 and 49 years of age who were selected using systematic random sampling.

Effect of Mobile Phone Call Reminders With Standard Therapy Versus Standard Therapy Alone on Compliance With Iron Supplementation in Antenatal Women With Iron Deficiency Anemia: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Introduction In spite of the implementation of the National nutritional anemia prophylaxis program in India, the prevalence of anemia during pregnancy is 50 in 100 women. One main cause for the high frequency of anemia among antenatal women in India is a lack of iron consumption. Few studies are available in the literature where efforts have been made to improve compliance with iron therapy.

A pilot study of the implementation and evaluation of a leadership program for medical undergraduate students: Lessons learned.

Background: Most Indian medical schools lack formal leadership training though students are expected to evolve into leaders. The Student Leadership Program (SLP) was designed and evaluated with an objective to incorporate and strengthen leadership skills in undergraduates and to initiate change in organizational practice through the development of a Student Leadership Society.

Methods: The SLP was designed using best evidence guidelines in medical education.

Modified Ultrafast Papanicolaou Stain in Ultrasound Guided FNAC of Intra-abdominal Lesions.

Background & Objective: Modified Ultra-fast Papanicolaou (MUFP) stain has been developed from Papanicolaou stain (PAP) with the goal to improve staining quality, minimize staining time for obtaining immediate cytological diagnosis and to check specimen adequacy during Ultrasound guided Fine needle Aspiration Cytology (US guided FNAC). The aim of this research was to study the cytomorphological features of intra-abdominal lesions with help of US guided FNAC and to assess the diagnostic utility of Modified Ultrafast Papanicolaou stain in cytological diagnosis.

Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled consecutive 100 subjects in N.

Periocular basal cell carcinoma in a young school teacher.

A 34-year-old female patient presented with a nodular mass near the right lateral canthus since 1 year. The mass was nodular, pigmented with irregular surface and had a very well-defined margins. A wide excisional biopsy was done for the same.
