Abstract: Background: CT guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) isthe first investigation of choice for intra thoracic mass lesions. It is very easy, safe, and provides real time visual access for aspiration of deeper tissues even though few millimeters in size. Objective: Present study was to evaluate the various spectrums of morphological mass lesions in the lung and determine effectiveness of CT guided FNAC.Materials and methods: This was a descriptive, cross sectional study on 50 patients, over a period of 1 year from April 2015 to March 2016, who underwent CT guided aspirationand their diagnoses were confirmed by appropriate methods.The results were analyzed and interpreted statistically.The study was approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee..............

Abstract: A sample of the patient's blood may be sent to the laboratory which allows (Haemoglobin) Hb to be measured using various methods, or the Hb value may be obtained by Arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis in the operating room or Intensive care unit. Our aim was to compare haemoglobin level obtained by Arterial blood gas Analyzer with Conventional laboratory method. A Comparative observational study was designed, patients admitted for trauma to Intensive Care Unit from April 2015 to July 2015 of Tertiary care teaching Hospital and Research centre.............

Abstract: Retrosternal goitre is very rare condition which account for 5 to 20 % of thyroidectomy patients. Though rare, it can be better managed surgically. In this article we report a rare case of 60 year old female who had nodular goiter with huge retrosternal extension. Majority of retrosternal thyroid can be removed safely by conventional cervical approach. Our patient had around 20 x 18 x 6 cm mass which was impossible to remove it from conventional approach and hence total thyroidectomy with medial sternotomy was done. Procedure was uneventful and patient is doing fine in of follow-up. The role of thyroidectomy in patients with retrosternal goitre provides yet another area of surgical controversy

Abstract: Introduction: Pneumocephalus is the presence of air or gas within cranial cavity. It is caused by craniofacial trauma, tumours of skull base, after neurology or otolaryngology surgeries, occasionally noted in scuba diving and rarely it is spontaneous. Rarely, there can be hyperpneumatisation of skull as well as vertebra which is a rare benign condition can be related to elevated middle ear pressure. Case Report: A sixty two years old fit and healthy gentleman presented with sudden, severe headache without any history of head injury or surgery. He did not have any focal neurological signs. On Computed Tomography (CT) scan of head, he was found to have pneumocephalus and hyperpneumatisation of occipital bone and atlas vertebra..............

Abstract: Introduction: At present 12 million Indians were affected by glaucoma accounting for 12.8% of the blindness of the country with 45 to 55% of primary glaucoma being PACG. The screening of patients with a high risk of iridotrabecular contact and subsequently primary angle closure is important. Early diagnosis and treatment is very much essential in dealing with high risk groups for angle closure glaucoma having occludable angle. The main aim of this study is to screen for Angle Closure Glaucoma in high risk groups with the................

Abstract: Diabetes mellitus, a chronic metabolic disease, causes accelerated generalized atherosclerosis, micro and macro vascular complications like coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease causing significant morbidity and mortality, asymptomatic in many cases. Early detection and management is pivotal in reducing morbidity & mortality. Hence a prospective observational study was carried out in 67 patients of type 2 DM over a period of 14 months at Mahatma Gandhi Hospital, Jodhpur with aim of detecting asymptomatic coronary artery disease(CAD) & peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and to find co relation (if any) between the two. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) according to WHO criteria were included. All patients who were known cases of cardiac illness, chronic kidney disease, and chronic smokers were excluded.................

Abstract: Purpose: The study was conducted to evaluate the effect etching with different types of acids on sandblasted titanium dental
implant surface topography. Materials and Methods: Pure polished titanium discs were blasted with Aluminum oxide powder (Al2O3) with particle size 50 μm using 4.5 bar pressure. Then the blasted discs were etched using different acids solutions separately for 5 min, 15 min, 30 min. Surface roughness was measured using profilometry. Topography was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results: The morphology and the surface roughness of titanium discs was changed dramatically after blasting with alumina, a rough surface was visible to the naked eye with Ra value of 0.627 μm.................

Abstract: Mechanical oral hygiene procedures are most widely accepted procedures for controlling bacterial plaque, but these methods have certain limitations. Based on several clinical trials, chlorhexidine mouthrinse have been accepted as a benchmark to be used as an adjunct to mechanical oral hygiene aids, however it is associated with side effects in its long term use. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the antiplaque efficacy of a herbal Aloe vera mouthrinse and compare it to gold standard Chlorhexidine. A randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, three group crossover, four day de novo plaque accumulation model was used................

Abstract: Avulsion of permanent front teeth is a rare accident, mostly affecting children between seven and nine years of age. Replanted and splinted, these teeth often develop inflammation, severe resorption or ankylosis affecting alveolar bone development and have to be extracted sooner or later. This report proposes a discussion on the various peculiarities of a tooth avulsion case with immediate replantation, such as a long retention period, root canal filling with MTA, orthodontic treatment .

Abstract: Malaria has protean clinical manifestations and acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of its serious and life threatening complications. The overall prevalence of AKI in falciparum malaria varies between <1 and 60%, with the mortality rate as high as 45%. None of the studies on malaria and AKI have classified AKI on AKIN criteria. We plan to look at outcomes of Malaria AKI based on severity of AKI and organ dysfunction. Outcomes are need for HD and mortality...............
