Evaluation of Etiological Factors Associated With Abnormal Uterine Bleeding Among Teenage Girls in a Tertiary Care Center: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) refers to irregularities in the frequency, regularity, duration, and volume of menstrual cycles, impacting about one-third of women at some point in their lives, during menarche and perimenopausal periods. This study aims to evaluate the various causes of menstrual disorders in teenage girls.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at AVMCH, Pondicherry, with ethical clearance.

Association of Periodontal Red Complex Bacteria With the Incidence of Gastrointestinal Cancers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

is the primary microbe in the "periodontal red complex" bacteria (PRCB) along with and , which are linked to periodontal disease (PD). These pathogens are also implicated in various systemic disorders, but their association with the incidence of gastrointestinal (GI) cancer is less explored. A systematic review followed by a meta-analysis was conducted as per standard guidelines (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2022) to find this association between GI cancers and PRCB after a literature search for full-text papers in the English language (between 2010 and 2023) in databases (Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Web of Science) with suitable keywords using the Boolean search strategy.

Views on virtual education during the COVID-19 pandemic among medical and paramedical students in India.

The COVID-19 pandemic has made the educational institutions to implement the mandatory virtual learning in medical education. It is undeniable that electronic gadget aided learning have a significant role to play during a pandemic. Both faculty and students are getting accustomed to this 'New Normalcy'.

A review on the origin of multidrug-resistant Salmonella and perspective of tailored phoP gene towards avirulence.

Salmonellosis continues to remain a health problem as the causative organism Salmonella spp. developed resistance to many of the antibiotics. As per World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated that enteric fever, accounts for almost 16 million cases annually and over 600,000 deaths worldwide.

Retrospective study of superior anterior plate as a treatment for unstable (Neer type 2) distal clavicle fractures.

Objective: To analyze the sequelae of Neer type 2 distal end clavicle fractures treated with superior anterior locking plate.

Methods: From June 2012 to February 2015 a study was conducted with 14 male patients; 12 with unilateral and two with bilateral distal clavicle fractures treated with superior anterior plate. They were evaluated at intervals, with mean follow up of 16 months (14-18 months).

Acquired melanocytic naevus phenotypes and genotypes in Han Chinese: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Early detection and treatment are the most important elements in reducing the incidence of melanoma deaths. Acquired melanocytic naevi (AMN) are well-known precursors of melanoma but most of our knowledge on the clinico-dermoscopic phenotypes of AMN is based on studies in European-background populations, particularly American and Australian populations. There has been little research in Chinese Han populations on clinico-dermoscopic variability of naevi or how naevi are affected by melanoma-linked variants of the melanocortin 1 receptor () gene.

Functional Results of Unstable (Type 2) Distal Clavicle Fractures Treated with Superior Anterior Locking Plate.

Background: The treatment of distal clavicle fracture is always a challenge, as it is mostly unstable and has higher rate of delayed union, malunion, non-union and associated acromioclavicular arthritis. So the management of these fractures remains controversial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the functional results of Type 2 distal end clavicle fractures treated with superior anterior locking plate.

Experience in fixation of infected non-union tibia by Ilizarov technique - a retrospective study of 42 cases.

Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate the clinical and functional outcome in treatment of infected tibial nonunion by the Ilizarov method.

Methods: The authors retrospectively analyzed 42 patients with infected tibial nonunion with bone loss; shortening and deformity treated at this institution during the period of February 2012 to April 2015 were included in the study. The results were evaluated according to Association for the Study and Application of the Methods of Ilizarov (ASAMI) criteria.

A retrospective analysis of surgically-treated complex proximal femur fractures with proximal femoral locking compression plate.

Objective: Analyze the outcomes of proximal femoral locking compression plate (PF-LCP) in these complex fractures.

Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 21 proximal femoral fractures treated with PF-LCP from June 2013 to February 2015. There were 15 females (71%) and six males (29%) with an average age of 61.

A retrospective study of titanium elastic stable intramedullary nailing in displaced mid-shaft clavicle fractures.

Objective: The aim of this study is to analyze the functional outcome following titanium elastic stable intra-medullary nailing (ESIN) for displaced mid-shaft clavicular fractures (DMCF).

Methods: A retrospective study of 60 patients between March 2009 and March 2015 was conducted. Patients were selected based on the inclusion criteria.

Trans-olecranon fossa four-cortex purchase lateral pinning in displaced supracondylar fracture of the humerus - a prospective analysis in 48 children.

Objective: The current study aims at a functional analysis of trans-olecranon lateral pinning for displaced supracondylar fracture of the humerus (SCFH) in children.

Methods: A prospective study of 48 children (30 males, 18 females; mean age: 7.4 years) with displaced SCFH was treated at this institution with modified technique from March 2011 to September 2014.

Variation of Cost among Anti-cancer Drugs Available in Indian Market.

Introduction: Although cancer remains a major health problem all over the world, its treatment is limited by affordability of patients in a developing country like India. Information generated from cost analysis studies will be helpful for both the doctors in choosing the correct medicine for their patients and also for policy makers in successfully utilizing the meager resources that are available.

Aim: The aim of the present observational study was to analyse the price variations of anti-cancer drugs available in India.

Fat embolism syndrome managed by non-invasive ventilation--a case report.

A 31-year-old male was struck by a motor cycle and diagnosed to have closed injury to the thigh involving right sided femur shaft fracture. Patient was operated on the next day by the orthopaedic surgeon. The patient did not have any signs of fat embolism syndrome before and after surgery.
