How I do it:- Endoscopic Reverse Denker's Approach.

: Endoscopic Denker's approach involves complete exposure of the anterior, inferior and lateral walls of the maxillary sinus providing access to both infratemporal and pterygopalatine fossa. Open approaches to maxillary sinus may lead to a high chance of cranial nerve dysfunction, trismus and wound healing issues. Surgical methods differ based on pathology, exposure, visualization and extent of clearance of the pathology.

Error Concealment in the Density Field of a Spatiotemporal Image Sequence.

One of the most difficult challenges of multimedia transmission during the last two decades has been the retrieval of degraded or missing regions of images and videos while maintaining satisfactory perceptual accuracy. The objective is to retrieve lost data by using the similarity between frames. Usually, error concealment (EC) schemes depend on replacing incorrect data with data that are identical to the initial.

Cardiac MRI in myocardial infarction without obstructive coronary artery disease (MINOCA) helps arrive at correct diagnosis - A case report and discussion.

Unlabelled: Myocardial infarction without obstructive coronary artery disease (MINOCA) is a common condition with estimated prevalence of 5 to 15 %. It is not a benign condition and diagnosing the exact underlying etiology can be challenging, but it is important to ensure appropriate management of MINOCA patients. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) can be a valuable and non-invasive test to identify the underlying etiology, as well as to risk-stratify such patients.

Predictors of hypertension among current smokeless tobacco users in India; analysis from the fourth round of National Family Health Survey (2015-2016).

A Case Report of Takayasu's Arteritis With Cerebral Infarction As Initial Presentation.

Takayasu's arteritis is a chronic inflammation of the large arteries such as the aorta and its primary branches, causing progressive arterial occlusion. This leads to reduced blood flow in the limbs and organs, resulting in arm or leg claudication, diminished or absent peripheral pulses, and end-organ ischemia. Stroke is one of the common complications; however, it is rarely the initial presentation.
