Abstract: Sun exposure is widely felt to induce a sense of well - being. But there are also abnormal responses to Sunlight. This study highlights the clinico - pathological correlation in polymorphous light eruption, one of the abnormal responses of sunlight exposure. Materials And Methods: This study was a prospective and observational study conducted in Department of Dermatology, GTVMCH, during the period of March.2016 to August - 2016. Patients with skin types I to VI were assessed and type of lesions were analyzed morphologically and histopathologicaly............

Abstract: introduction- Spontaneous miscarriage of a developing embryo may be due to the presence of rearrangements in parental chromosome set. The most common structural rearrangement involved in multiple abortions is chromosomal translocation. Robertsonian translocation shows the fusion of two acrocentric chromosomes, near the centromere region with loss of the short arms and it is found to be associated with recurrent pregnancy loss. Banding patterns has been the primary tool for the clinical assessment of patients to study chromosomal analysis from peripheral blood lymphocytes of cases with repeated pregnancy loss..........

Abstract: Type 2 Diabetes mellitus, a common metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia and its consequences not only affects the carbohydrate metabolism, also has its effects on lipid and protein metabolism altering the overall metabolic homeostasis in general. The morbidity and mortality that patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus suffers is quite alarming. While most of the complications has its symptoms that alerts the patients to take proper evaluation and its treatment, there are indeed many more of the complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus that comes under the asymptomatic issues but significantly affecting the body slowly but steadily...............

Abstract: Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) is a significant health problem affecting as much as 85% of the general population, sometime in their lifetime, while the estimated overall prevalence is 46%. Shoulder pain is the third most common MPS affecting all age groups with no gender discrimination. It can be caused by a variety of disorders like periarthritis, impingement syndromes, degeneration and trauma. Certain medical conditions like diabetes can precipitate shoulder pain and some conditions like gallbladder disorders liver and heat problems can cause pain referred to the shoulder. Self-reported prevalence of shoulder pain is between 16% and 26%.............

Abstract: Hyperglycaemia hyperactivates platelets functions which in turn participates in the pathophysiology of vasculopathies in diabetics. This study was carried out to investigate the platelet counts of the various diabetic groups attending University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital and compare to non-diabetic group. This is a case-control study that comprises of 220 subjects. Out of 120 confirmed diabetic subjects, three subgroups of 2 (1.7%) type 1 diabetics, 101 (84.1%) type 2 diabetics and 17 (14.2%) gestational diabetics comprised the test participants while 100 non-diabetic subjects served as control participants. Platelet counts and plasma glucose estimation were carried out using standard testing protocols............

Abstract: Introduction: This study aims to correlate fine needle aspiration specimens diagnosed as C3 (atypical, probably benign) and C4 (suspicious, probably malignant) with histology and mammography, and to evaluate these two cytology categories in terms of diagnostic usefulness and patient management. Materials & Methods: All fine-needle aspiration (FNA) specimens in categories C3 or C4 at the Mahatma Gandhi memorial Hospital, warangal between 2013- 2015 were reviewed. Results were correlated with available histological and mammographical studies. Results: 289 FNA specimens were identified, comprising 84 category C3 and 205 category C4.Histology was available in 213 cases. 34 (64 percent) C3 cases showed benign histology on biopsy and 19 (36 percent) were malignant...........

Abstract: Malignant germ cell ovarian tumors (MOGCTs) represent less than 20% of ovarian cancers. We conducted a retrospective study of 16 cases of (MOGCTs) diagnosed from January 2008 to December 2013. Results: During this time 26 cases of non epithelial ovarian malignancy were diagnosed which 16 are germinal tumors 61%. The age of patients ranged from 16 to 60 years. Abdominal mass was the principal symptom, it was present in 2/3 of cases (66%). All patients were surgically assessed with ovariectomy that was associated with hysterectomy in two patients. Chemotherapy was administered in 15 patients and BEP was the commonest regimen used. After a mean follow up of 25 months we obtained a clinical, biological and radiologic complete remission in 1/3 of cases, 3 recurrences , 2 deaths............

Abstract: Laser technology has made a tremendous progress over few past decades, and lasers have found a niche in many surgical specialties. Lasers offer many useful clinical applications for oral and maxillofacial surgeons in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with different type of oral mucosal lesions and maxillofacial disorders, as long as the clinician receives the proper training to use this technology safely and effectively. The present paper reviews the different types of lasers and discusses their use a vital tool in excision of benign oral lesions with histological findings

Abstract: Posterior capsular opacification(pco) is the most frequent complication of cataract surgery anddevelops from residual lens epithelial cells that undergo proliferation,migration,metaplasia and differentiation in the capsular bag after cataract surgery.patients with PCO have decreased visual visual acuity, loss of contrast sensitivity, and in some cases, PCO precludes examination of the posterior segment. The incidence of PCO is reported to be 20-50% 5 years after cataract surgery in the general population and has been reported to occur in 100% of pediatric patients. Recently, primary posterior capsulorhexis (PPCC) has been proposed to prevent PCO in adults...........

Abstract: Introduction: Malocclusion has a large impact on both individuals and society in terms of discomfort, quality of life, social and functional limitations. Aim: To systematically review the literature on prevalence of malocclusion among 12-15 year old Indian children using Dental Aesthetic Index. Methods: A literature search was obtained for relevant articles on malocclusion status of Indian children aged 12-15 years using 4 electronic retrieval systems and data bases. The search was limited to human studies, articles published during the period of January 2000 to July 2014 and those measured malocclusion using Dental Aesthetic Index............

Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this study is to check up the possible usage of a new approach when treating oroantral communication (OAC) which includes the usage of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). Methods and materials: 6 patients (4 women and 2 men) participated in this study with oroantral communications after the extractions of maxillary molars. The OAC was closed surgically using PRF membranes. The clinical results were monitored over the course of 14 days with the aid of the Clinical Healing Score (CHS), and the subjective results were measured using the standard Visual Analog Scale (VAS)............

Abstract: Le schwannome est une tumeur rare qui prend origine de la gaine des fibres nerveuses et plus particulièrement de la gaine de Schwann. Elle touche plus fréquemment les extrémités, le tronc, la tête et le cou. C'est une tumeur bégnine de découverte le plus souvent fortuite. Salocalisation dans la paroi abdominale est extrêmement rare. A notre connaissance, ceci est le quatrième cas signalé dans la littérature

Abstract: Aim: To study the cytomorphological features of head and neck lesion using fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and compare its results with histopathology of the same lesion, thereby, to determine the diagnostic efficacy of FNAC. Methods: FNAC results of 120 patients presenting with head and neck swellings to Dept. of ENT and Head and Neck Surgery, Govt. Medical College, Jammu were analysed and categorized into benign and malignant conditions. The cytological findings of these lesions were compared to histopathology findings of the same...........

Abstract: Background: Colposcopy is a screening procedure used to detect pre invasive stages of carcinoma cervix. The accuracy of colposcopy is varied among colposcopists. To control the quality of colposcopy, Reid colposcopic index (RCI) was originated. However, the colposcopic features in RCI were subjective for some features. Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of colposcopic findings using modified Reid Colposcopic Index with histopathology in cervical lesions............
