Abstract: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare hereditary disease; it can rarely coexist with other rare disorders such as retinitis pigmentosa which is a hereditary cause of blindness by retinal ciliary dysfunction. This association is not obvious at first sight. We report the case of a patient with retinitis pigmentosa and bronchiectasis as the first apparent symptom of PCD.

Abstract: Background: Across the world, tonsillectomy is one of the most commonly performed operations in the otolaryngology department especially in the pediatric age group for recurrent tonsillitis for which paradise criteria is used as guidance to determine the candidacy. Paradise criteria take various factors into consideration to determine if the indication exists for tonsillectomy. Taking paradise criteria into consideration, various otolaryngologists' associations and boards across the world like American association of otolaryngology etc. have drawn guidelines to help clinicians in identifying candidacy for tonsillectomy. But these criteria cannot be used in rural Indian setup like our institutions which mainly cater health care needs to rural population. Hence where paradise criteria are not relevant we developed a clinical method to determine the candidacy for tonsillectomy. In this study we subjected 100 tonsils specimens of patients who underwent tonsillectomy based on clinical criteria.......

Abstract: Background: Anemia in pregnancy accounts for one fifth of maternal deaths worldwide and is a major factor responsible for low birth weight. In India, 16% of maternal deaths are attributed to anemia. The association between anemia and adverse pregnancy outcome, higher incidence of preterm and low–birth weight deliveries have been demonstrated. However, high prevalence of anemia among pregnant women persists in India despite the availability of effective, low-cost interventions for prevention and treatment. A knowledge of the sociodemographic factors associated with anemia will help to formulate multipronged strategies to attack this important public health problem in pregnancy.......

Abstract: Introduction firefighters are not only involved in fire extinguishing, fire precautions and fire preventions but are being increasing involved in other aspects of safety and rescue during accidents domestic or otherwise. This has also led to increasing psychological and physical stress on these firefighters. Hence all hands must be on deck to understand these threats to the wellbeing of this group of essential workers and develop modalities to reduce their effects on the physical and mental well being of firefighters. Aim/ Objectives This study aims to assess the health related quality of life (HRQoL) of Firefighters and the association between duration of employment and HRQoL of Firefighters in Ogun State, Nigeria. Materials and Methods This was a descriptive cross-sectional study done among firefighters......

Abstract: Loss of teeth often results in loss of a variable amount of adjacent soft and hard tissue. Prosthodontic rehabilitation of a large anterior ridge defects is often a challenge. Such defects require not just the replacement of the missing teeth, but also closure of the defective area so as to achieve proper speech and esthetics. Fixed-removable partial dentures are particularly indicated for patients with extensive supportive tissue loss and when the alignment of the opposing arches and/or esthetic arch position of the replacement teeth create difficulties for placement of a conventional fixed partial denture. Andrews Bridge is a fixed-removable prosthesis that is one of the treatment modality indicated in patients with large ridge defects. This prosthesis successfully replaces the missing teeth along with complete closure of the defect, restoring speech and esthetics.

Abstract: A giant retinal tear (GRT) is defined as a full-thickness break in the retina equal to or larger than 3 clock hours associated with vitreous detachment. Risk factors for developing a GRT include trauma, high myopia, Marfan syndrome, Stickler's syndrome or other hereditary vitreoretinopathies, and extensive lattice degeneration. Common techniques used to treat GRTs include fluid-air exchange, pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckling, primary vitrectomy with gas or silicone oil tamponade, and combined scleral buckle-vitrectomy. Perfluorocarbon liquids (PFCLs) revolutionized the management......

Abstract: Background Anaemia is a health concern in menstruating women, especially adolescent girls and pregnant women. The prevalence is higher in developing countries like India, mainly Iron deficiency anaemia which is the most common type in India due to factors like malnutrition, lack of awareness, lower socioeconomic status and less education. A research was carried out to assess the knowledge, attitude, practice and health-seeming behaviour of internet using educated menstruating women towards anaemia. The objective of the study was to enumerate knowledge, attitude, practice and health seeming behaviour towards anaemia......
