Abstract: Iatrogenic bowel injury during surgery is the most common cause of enteroatmospheric fistula (EAF). Management of high-output EAF, especially multiple fistulas with distal obstruction, often fails when nutritional support is neglected.

Abstract: Lower lip swelling is a diagnostic challenge in emergency settings, with angioedema and cellulitis representing important differential diagnoses. Although cellulitis involving the facial region is relatively common, isolated lower lip cellulitis progressing to septic shock and acute kidney injury (AKI) is rare and potentially life-threatening.......

Abstract: Background: Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) poses significant morbidity and mortality risks globally. Goal-Directed Medical Therapy (GDMT) improves outcomes but is often underutilized due to poor medication adherence.
Aim: To evaluate the impact of GDMT on clinical outcomes such as quality of life, morbidity, and hospitalizations in HFrEF patients, and to assess the level and predictors of medication adherence. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Shree Krishna Hospital involving 100 adult patients with HFrEF. Adherence was measured using the Morisky Green Levine Scale.......

Abstract: Reconstruction of oral cavity defects following oncologic excision demands simultaneous restoration of mucosal lining, oral competence, cheek contour, and satisfactory aesthetics. Local flap techniques remain indispensable for small-to-medium defects because of their simplicity, tissue compatibility, reliable vascularity, and feasibility in resource-limited or high-risk surgical settings. The Yu flap, originally devised for lower lip reconstruction, integrates rotational and advancement components to achieve tension-free closure with favorable functional outcomes. Modifications of this technique have broadened its applicability to perioral and intraoral defects, including those of the buccal mucosa.......

Abstract: Background: Bismuth Iodoform Paraffin Paste (BIPP) is a compound surgical dressing originally introduced by Rutherford Morrison during World War I. Comprising bismuth subnitrate, iodoform, and liquid paraffin, it exerts antiseptic, hemostatic, and wound-healing properties. Despite its established role in ENT and general surgery, its systematic documentation as a cavity-packing adjunct following enucleation of large odontogenic jaw cysts remains sparse in the oral and maxillofacial literature.......

Abstract: Background: Halitosis, commonly known as oral malodor, is a prevalent oral health condition with significant social and psychological consequences. The majority of halitosis cases originate from the oral cavity, with tongue coating recognized as one of the primary etiological factors due to its role as a reservoir for anaerobic microorganisms responsible for volatile sulfur compound production. Mechanical tongue cleaning has been recommended as an effective approach for reducing oral malodor; however, limited short-term clinical evidence exists regarding structured tongue cleaning guided by objective tongue coating assessment......

Abstract: Deep bite associated with loss of vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) represents a significant restorative challenge requiring accurate diagnosis and careful treatment planning. This case report describes the rehabilitation of a 21-year-old male patient presenting with severe tooth wear, reduced VDO, and multiple inadequate restorations associated with endodontic complications.
A digitally guided workflow combined with occlusal deprogramming using a Leaf Gauge was used to establish a reproducible mandibular position and increase the VDO......

Abstract: Background: Clavicle fractures are among the most common injuries of the shoulder girdle, with mid-shaft fractures accounting for the majority of cases. Surgical fixation often requires effective peri-operative analgesia. The clavipectoral fascia block (CPB) is a relatively new regional anesthesia technique that provides targeted analgesia for clavicular.....
