Aim: Accordingly, the aim of this study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of congenital abnormal shapes of lungs in relation to abnormal lobes and fissures.

Materials And Methods: This study was carried out on 270 isolated lung specimens (right lungs - 135 and left lungs - 135) from 135 formalin-embalmed middle-aged human cadavers irrespective of gender.

Navigating Drug-Induced Adversities: A Python-Based Console Application for Causality Assessment Using the Naranjo Algorithm.

The timely and accurate adverse drug reactions (ADR) assessment is vital for effective patient management and healthcare delivery. The Naranjo Algorithm is a widely recognized tool for determining the probability that a drug induces a given ADR. However, the process can be time-consuming and susceptible to human error.

Vulvar Leiomyoma Masquerading as Bartholin Cyst: A Case Report of Unveiled Diagnosis and Surgical Management.

Vulvar leiomyomas are rare benign tumors originating from smooth muscle cells of the vulvar tissue. We present the case of a 44-year-old female patient complaining of a painless vulval mass for 12 years, gradually increasing from 1x1 cm to 5x4 cm. Clinical assessment initially suggested a Bartholin cyst because of its non-tender and non-fluctuant nature.

Accessory heads of biceps brachii muscle its embryogenesis and clinical implications: Cadaveric study.

Background: Biceps brachii is an elongated two-headed fusiform muscle of the anterior compartment of the arm which crosses the shoulder as well as the elbow joint. It assists in flexion of the shoulder joint and elbow joint and powerful supinator of the forearm. It also assists in the abduction of the shoulder joint.

Decompressive Craniectomy in the Management of Low Glasgow Coma Score Patients With Extradural Hematoma: A Review of Literature and Guidelines.

An extradural hematoma (EDH), also known as an epidural hematoma, is a collection of blood between the inner skull table and the dura mater. It is restricted by the coronal, lambdoid, and sagittal sutures, as these are dural insertions. EDH most frequently occurs in 10- to 40-year-old patients.

High-manganese and nitrogen stabilized austenitic stainless steel (Fe-18Cr-22Mn-0.65N): a material with a bright future for orthopedic implant devices.

The rationale behind the success of nickel free or with extremely low nickel austenitic high manganese and nitrogen stabilized stainless steels is adverse influences of nickel ion on human body. Replacement of nickel by nitrogen and manganese provides a stable microstructure and facilitates better biocompatibility in respect of the conventional 316L austenitic stainless steel (316L SS). In this investigation, biocompatibility of the high-manganese and nitrogen stabilized (Fe-18Cr-22Mn-0.

Assessment of psychiatric co-morbidities in patient of bronchial asthma attending a tertiary medical centre (Multicentric study).

Aims And Objectives: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition, which is associated with increase in airway hyper responsiveness that leads to recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and coughing. Asthma is a very common respiratory illness, in which some of the disease related factors may increases the vulnerability to psychiatric disorders. This study was done to determine the prevalence of psychiatric co-morbidity in patients of bronchial asthma.

A novel association of efavirenz induced severe cutaneous adverse reactions with HLA- DRB1*03:01: A case-control study from North-East India.

HIV-infected patients have a higher risk of developing cutaneous reactions to drugs than the general population. Severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs) are not uncommon in patients taking antiretroviral therapy (HAART]. To evaluate HLA class I and II allele frequencies in HIV patients on HAART who develop SCARs due to nevirapine (NVP] or efavirenz (EFZ] containing regime and compare this genotype composition with HAART tolerant patients and healthy organ donors.

Simultaneous Analytical Efficiency Evaluation Using an HPTLC Method for the Analysis of Syringic Acid and Vanillic Acid and Their Anti-Oxidant Capacity from Methanol Extract of Ricinus communis L. and Euphorbia hirta L.

Background: The well-known medicinal plants Ricinus communis L. and Euphorbia hirta L. have been traditionally used to treat a variety of ailments in the India and other countries.

Congenital uterovaginal abnormalities, it's embryogenesis, surgical management and clinical implications.

Objective: Congenital Mullerian duct malformations are a challenging group of conditions for surgeons and need surgical experience and skill. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to present the diagnosis, surgical management, and clinical implications of congenital uterovaginal abnormalities.

Methods: Between 1980 and 2015, 8 patients with congenital uterovaginal abnormalities were diagnosed.

Correlation of Tympanic Membrane Perforation with Hearing Loss and Its Parameters in Chronic Otitis Media: An Analytical Study.

Chronic otitis media is one of the commonest illnesses in otorhinolaryngological practice which requires medical attention. Intact tympanic membrane acts as a shield for round window niche to create a phase difference in sound wave conduction. 700 patients of age 10-70 years with inactive mucosal chronic otitis media were included in the study.

To Evaluate the Efficacy of Intravenous Infusion of Dexmedetomidine as Premedication in Attenuating the Rise of Intraocular Pressure Caused by Succinylcholine in Patients Undergoing Rapid Sequence Induction for General Anesthesia: A Randomized Study.

Context: Laryngoscopy and intubation performed during RSI lead to choroidal blood volume increase and an eventual rise in intraocular pressure (IOP). Use of succinylcholine (SCh) causes an undesirable rise in IOP which is further aggravated by laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation. Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective centrally acting α adrenergic agonist that has IOP lowering properties.
