Ewing's sarcoma of rib presenting as pleural effusion in a young child.

Ewing's sarcoma of rib is a rare primary malignant bone tumour which poses diagnostic dilemma and has complex treatment. The diagnosis is based on the combination of clinical, imaging, pathology and immunohistochemistry findings. We here present a case of 3.

Apneic anesthesia with THRIVE for pediatric bronchial foreign body removal: A case series.

Anesthesia for impacted tracheobronchial foreign body (FB) removal in pediatrics is challenging owing to shared airway, need of tubeless apneic anesthesia, and higher risk of airway complications. Transnasal humidified rapid insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE) has unique applications for apneic anesthesia. The authors describe two pediatric cases of impacted lower bronchial FB that were difficult to retrieve and required long procedure time.

Audio-Vestibular Findings in Individuals with Takayasu's Arteritis.

Takayasu's Arteritis is defined as inflammatory disease of the large blood vessels with unknown cause mostly affecting the aorta and its main branches. The patients diagnosed with Takayasu's arteritis are reported to have complaint of chronic dizziness. However, literature lacks detailed clinical evaluation of the auditory vestibular function in such patients.

Pulmonary cystic echinococcosis: A case report from tertiary care hospital.

Human echinococcosis is a zoonotic infection transmitted by dogs in livestock-raising areas. We present a case of a 30-year-old female with respiratory symptoms.

Lymphangiomas: Rare presentations in oral cavity and scrotum in pediatric age group.

The incidence of lymphangioma is 1.2 to 2.8/1000 newborns.

Prediction of outcomes in chest trauma patients using chest trauma scoring system: A prospective observational study.

Background And Aims: Prognostication of chest trauma patients by scoring systems is of vital importance to predict morbidity and mortality. We aimed to predict outcomes in chest trauma patients using chest trauma scoring system (CTS) in Indian patients.

Methods: This was a prospective observational study done in a trauma care centre at a tertiary care teaching public hospital.

An uncommon manifestation of a common disease.

Neurocysticercosis is the common parasitic disease of the central nervous system. One of the uncommon manifestations and a rare complication is its disseminated form. Human cysticercosis is caused by the spreading of the embryo of Taenia solium in the intestine via the hepatoportal system to different tissues and internal organs of the body.

Gossypiboma: An Unusual Presentation as Perforation and Intraluminal Migration.

Gossypiboma is a mass formed around cotton material acting as foreign body in visceral cavity. In our study, we present a case of gossypiboma following open cholecystectomy. A surgical sponge left in the peritoneal cavity following cholecystectomy, caused inflammatory reaction, perforation and intraluminal migration.

A Case of Biliary Peritonitis following Spontaneous Common Bile Duct Perforation in a Child.

Unlabelled: Spontaneous common bile duct (CBD) perforation leading to biliary peritonitis is a rare entity in children. It is an unusual cause of acute abdomen and is potentially fatal. Preoperative diagnosis is rare.

Prospective evaluation of maternal morbidity and mortality in post-cesarean section patients admitted to postanesthesia intensive care unit.

Background And Aims: Critical illness may complicate any pregnancy. Timely intensive care management of critically ill obstetric patients has better outcomes than expected from the initial severity of illness. The aim was to study the indications of transfer of post-cesarean section patients to post-anesthesia intensive care unit (PACU).

Microalbuminuria: a biomarker of sepsis and efficacy of treatment in patients admitted to a medical intensive care unit of a tertiary referral center.

Background: The outcome of sepsis is significantly affected by early institution of goal-directed therapies and hence, the search for an early marker of sepsis continues.

Aims And Objectives: To observe microalbuminuria levels between patients with sepsis and those without sepsis s admitted to the medical intensive care unit (MICU) of a tertiary referral centre (primary) as also to assess the change in microalbuminuria levels in the first 24 hours as a predictor of mortality and morbidity relative to the APACHE II and SOFA scores.

Materials And Methods: This was a prospective observational study where 125 patients with sepsis and 38 without were assessed.

Clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with acute lung injury and ARDS.

Background: Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are critical illnesses associated with significant morbidity and mortality.

Aims: This was designed to assess various etiologies of ALI/ARDS, to determine the correlation between the diagnostic criteria and need of mechanical ventilation, and to correlate biochemical factors with the outcome of patients.

Settings And Design: An observational, prospective study was conducted in a medical intensive care unit (MICU) of a tertiary care hospital, for a period of 1 year.

A study of sutopsy findings in 62 cases of leptospirosis in a metropolitan city in India.

Background: Leptospirosis is an important sporadic zoonotic disease caused by the spirochete Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae . The disease becomes a major public health problem, particularly during the monsoon months.

Materials And Methods: Analysis of autopsy findings of 62 cases of clinically suspected leptospirosis was carried out to identify the pathology and determine the cause of death.
