Abstract: Background: Isoflurane has been a standard agent for CHA, but its sole use sometimes results in suboptimal hypotension and potential adverse effects. Dexmedetomidine is known for its sedative and sympatholytic effects, and it has been proposed as an adjunct to improve controlled hypotension and patient outcomes in surgeries. The study was conducted to assess and compare the efficacy of Isoflurane alone and the combination of Isoflurane and Dexmedetomidine for achieving controlled hypotension during middle ear surgeries. Materials and Methods: This....

Abstract: Background: Spinal anesthesia is a widely utilized regional anesthesia technique, particularly for infraumbilical surgeries. It provides effective sensory and motor blockade, minimal systemic side effects, and stable hemodynamics, making it a preferred choice in various surgical procedures, including lower abdominal, urological, and lower limb surgeries. Bupivacaine, a long-acting amide local anesthetic, is frequently used in spinal anesthesia.....

Abstract: Understanding root canal morphology is fundamental to successful endodontic treatment, yet anatomical variations often present unforeseen challenges that can compromise outcomes if not properly identified and managed. This case presentation explores the clinical significance of canal morphology variations and emphasizes the importance of adaptability, advanced diagnostic tools, and meticulous technique in navigating atypical anatomy. Through....

Abstract: Background: Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, characterized by progressive optic neuropathy. Early detection and monitoring are crucial, as structural damage often precedes functional vision loss. Traditional methods like intraocular pressure measurement and standard automated perimetry have limitations in sensitivity and subjectivity. This review synthesizes the current evidence on new imaging technologies that offer potential for earlier, more objective diagnosis and monitoring of glaucomatous changes. Materials and Methods....
