Open vs Closed Management of Condylar Fracture Our Experience of 100 Cases in a Suburban Tertiary Care Hospital.

Study Design: Retrospective Observational Study.

Objective: Mandibular condyle fractures are distinctive among maxillofacial injuries in which they disrupt mandibular function in a way that other traumatic injuries do not. Condylar fractures can be treated using either the conservative (closed reduction and immobilisation) or surgical (open reduction and internal fixation) approaches.

Analysis of cognizance and practices of biomedical waste management principle rules among health professional workers in a teaching hospital with special emphasis on COVID-19 pandemic: A critical appraisal on the current state and way forward.

Background: Hospital-generated waste materials commonly labeled as "Biomedical waste" (BMW) is a kind of remnant that includes infectious and non-infectious materials and their appropriate disposals are controlled as per the guidelines of Biomedical Waste Management (BMWM) Amendment Rules, 2018, Government of India. Periodic assessment on BMWM among healthcare workers (HCWs) is mandated to ensure quality assurance, which may be helpful during pandemic times.

Materials And Methods: The study was conducted with ethical clearance by using a validated questionnaire (using Cronbach's α) covering knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) derived based on recent BMWM 2018 guidelines.

Influence of arm position on the first pass success rates of ultrasound-guided infraclavicular axillary vein cannulation in spontaneously breathing patients: A randomised clinical trial.

Background: Significant collapsibility during spontaneous respiration, deeper location, and smaller vein size are key challenging factors to safe infraclavicular axillary vein cannulation. Arm abduction reduces collapsibility, but interventional data supporting this observation is lacking. This study investigates the effect of neutral and abducted arm position on the first pass success rate of infraclavicular axillary vein cannulation in spontaneously breathing patients.

Analysis of Patterns of Adverse Transfusion Reactions and Management: A Novel Initiative toward Hemovigilance in a Teaching Hospital of South India.

 Blood transfusion being a major lifesaving frontline procedure in majority of clinical wards, has a high potential with risk for adverse events ranging in severity, thus warranting optimal usage of blood. Continuous monitoring of adverse transfusion reaction (ATR) and analysis of the reactions can promote better comprehension of various contributing risk factors. Hemovigilance being a quality indicator with data system assists in ensuring quality and safe blood transfusion.

Effect of Kenacort on Pregnant Wistar Albino Rats.

Kenacort is a well-known synthetic glucocorticoid used in today's medical practice for various therapeutic uses. The drug has been known to induce cleft palate in rodents in specific doses. This study uses triamcinolone acetonide (TAC) as a teratogen for inducing cleft palate in rat embryos.
