Authors: AHMEDOVA Malika
Published: November 2020

В статье рассматриваются основные коммуникативные особенности заголовочного комплекса новостного дискурса газеты «Российская газета» (печатной и интернет-версии). Автор статьи полагает, что коммуникативные особенности новостных текстов основываются прежде всего на субъективной модальности, которая проявляется и в экспрессемах. На основе теории Петербургской школы журналистики о субъективной модальности (экспрессивности) в статье анализируются заголовки, хедлайны и лиды на уровне содержания, формы и взаимосвязи между этими элементами. Выясняется, что заголовки «Российской газеты» можно разделить на три группы в зависимости от их содержания и частеречной принадлежности слагаемых заголовок форм. Заголовки двух групп коммуникативны, что проявляется в их семантической неполноте и требуется дальнейшее чтение элементов заголовочного комплекса/ текста новости или привлечения фото- или видеоматериалов для полного понимания информации, заложенной в заголовке.

UNANI PERSPECTIVE OF OLIGOMENORRHOEA: AN UPDATED LITERARY RESEARCH
Authors: Aklaque Nasreen , Begum Wajeeha
Published: November 2020

Infrequent and scanty menstruation is a common problem in women belonging to reproductive age group. Oligomenorrhoea affects 6-18% of women of reproductive age and is mostly managed by hormone therapy which has got its own side effects. One of the most influential Iranian physician, Avicenna (980-1037 A.D.) in his famous book, Canon of medicine, describes oligomenorrhoea under the title of ihtibas-i-tamth. According to USM, normal menstruation is an indicator of healthy normal reproductive organs. One of the main function of the uterus is to excrete the khūn-i-hayd (menstrual blood) which should be normal in amount and duration. Any kind of imbalance between quwwat-i-masika (retentive faculty) and quwwat-i-dafi‘a (expulsive faculty) of rahim (uterus) causes menstrual irregularities. It is caused by domination of khilt balgham (phlegm) which increases the viscosity of blood. Majoosi stated the cause of qillat-i-tamth is su’i-mizāj bārid of rahim (cold temperament of uterus) and siman mufrit (obesity). Unani physicians have given a line of management based on correction of temperament, menstrual regulation by regimental therapies and emmenagogue drugs.

Authors: Ratika Shrivastava , Deshmukh Jeevanand , Richa Khatri , K Asif , D Revu Das S , M Venkata Sai Meghana
Published: November 2020

Background:
Diabetes mellitus and periodontal diseases evidently have a bidirectional relationship. To apply this into daily practise, an awareness among dentists and physicians of the same is imperative. Thus, a KAP (knowledge, attitude and practice) survey was conducted among dental and medical practitioners about the association between diabetes mellitus and periodontitis.

Methodology:
A survey was conducted among 563 dental & medical practitioners (263 physicians and 300 dentists) in 3 cities of Madhya Pradesh. Information on knowledge about complications related to periodontal conditions, attitude regarding diabetes and periodontal disease and the relation between the two was collected. Association between categorical was computed using Chi square test, with the α-level set at 0.05.

Results:
Dentists were more aware about impact of diabetes complications on periodontal health as compared to physicians (p<0.05). Majority of dentists referred their patients to physicians for medical evaluation and were more interested in learning about bidirectional relationship between diabetes mellitus & periodontal health, while fewer physicians referred their patients to dentists. The preferred mode of learning for dental practitioners was through conferences or CDEs, while medical practitioners preferred professional journals.

Conclusion:
The knowledge, awareness and practice regarding bidirectional association between diabetes and periodontitis of dentists fared better than the physicians.

Authors: Patel Ketan , Mangtani Jitendra K. , Gupta Neelkamal , Bansal Nikhil
Published: November 2020

Pseudoaneurysms of gastroduodenal artery are rare and mostly associated with pancreatitis. We report a case of a ruptured GDA aneurysm in a patient who underwent cystogastrostomy for pancreatic pseudocyst and this has rarely been reported in the literature. Our patient presented with hematemesis 2 week postoperatively. CT angiogram showed pseudoaneurysm of the GDA and which was embolised. Our case highlights that GDA aneurysm must be considered in the differential for a patient who presents with upper GI tract bleed after drainage of pancreatic pseudocyst and that it can be managed with angioembolization. A 30 year old male presented to our surgery department with a four-month history of pain & swelling over upper abdomen with associated vomiting. CT scan showed large thicked walled cystic lesion in lesser sac abutting the uncinate process with atrophy of body and tail of pancrease s/o chronic pancreatitis with pseudocyst formation. We performed cystogastrostomy for pancreatic pseudocyst. Two week later, he presented with the complains of hematemesis. Patient was resuscitated initially and then CT angiogram was planned that showed pseudoaneurysm of the GDA. The pseudoaneurysm was embolised and patient was sent home later on. Gastroduodenal artery aneurysm shoud be suspected in a patient with GI hemorrhage after surgery for Pancreatic pseudocyst. The investigation of choice is CT angiography and endovascular angioembolisation is the treatment modality of choice.

Published: November 2020

Fibrous dysplasia is an ailment , that can include , one or a few bones and is portrayed by bone deformations, pain and fractures, arising due to bone weakening. A few patients can also present with endocrine dysfunction ( precocious puberty) and cutaneous cafe '- au - lait spots.[1] Determination depends on X-ray assessment. Anticipation is to be surveyed with X-rays and markers of bone remodelling. A few newer comprehensions , of the patho - physiology have been made in the past I0 years. It is presently perceived that fibrous dysplasia is brought about , by a physical initiating transformation of the Gs alpha subunits , of the protein G, bringing about an expanded cAMP fixation and in this way, brings about anomalies of osteoblasts separation, and then subsequently these osteoblasts, creates abnormal bone. There is also an expansion in interleukin-6-initiated osteoclastic bone resorption, which forms the basis of reasoning, for treating these patients with bisphosphonates. In the previous 10 years, the bisphosphonate pamidronate has been utilized by imbuement for fibrous dysplasia (two courses for each year), with great outcomes regarding pain and, in about half of patients, the topping off of osteolytic sores.[2]

Published: November 2020

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a highly curable childhood cancer with a survival rate of nearly 80% in developed countries but is around 45% in developing countries. This retrospective study analyzed the association between demographic and socioeconomic factors with survival in pediatric ALL. All confirmed cases of pediatric ALL (age <18 years) registered at Dr. B Borooah Cancer Institute between 2010 to 2017 were analyzed using data collected from hospital-based cancer registry and case records. Seventy-five confirmed cases of pediatrics ALL were eligible for the study. The median age of presentation was six years with a male: female ratio 1.9:1. Overall survival at 4-years was 43.8%, with a median survival of 25 months. A trend for higher 4-year overall survival was seen in female children (54.1% versus 37.9%, p=0.097). Patients from rural areas (44% versus 39.5%, p=0.308), with higher maternal education (83.3% versus 41.1%, p=0.161) and patients who did not abandon treatment (49.1% versus 31.2%, p=0.497) had better survival, but the differences were not significant. Four years overall survival in upper-middle, lower-middle, upper-lower, and lower class were 85.7%, 74.9%, 38.1%, and 7.7% respectively (upper-middleversus lower socioeconomic class, p=0.0001).Multivariate analyses confirmed a statistically significant relationship between socioeconomic status and survival, with the upper-middle group had a 90% decreased risk of death compared to the lower socioeconomic group. There is an urgent need for a proper definition of the problems of childhood ALL to introduce appropriate policies for improving survival in developing countries.

Authors: Basu Barnali Ray , Chakrabarty Sanchari , Saha Sudip Kumar , Das Nilansu
Published: November 2020

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrinopathy of women in their reproductive age with diversity in clinical manifestations. The phenotypic expressions and altered anthropometric indices are the key indicators of the abnormal transformations in metabolic, endocrine, and reproductive functionality of PCOS. Stress-induced activation of the Sympathetic-Adrenal-Medullary (SAM)-system and Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA)-axis results in series of neuroendocrine adaptations where over-activation of SAM/HPA response negatively affects the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal (HPG) axis that highlight the possibility of the adverse impact of stress response system on reproductive and metabolic functions. Psychological distress and anxiety induced by the COVID-19 pandemic may aggravate the expressivity of PCOS and associated complexities. Objective: The present study aimed to find out some phenotypic features (hirsutism, acne, Acanthosis Nigricans (AN) and alopecia) in association with deviated anthropometric and derived indices, and stress biomarkers (Salivary α-amylase (SAA) and cortisol of SAM and HPA-axis respectively) among PCOS patients. Statistical analysis: SPSS (IBM, version 20) and Microsoft Office Excel 2010 were implied, and the quantitative variables were described as mean±SD (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05). Results: Significant alternations in the anthropometric indices were observed for PCOS patients that may lead to health risk. Alteration in body composition was strongly correlated with stress biomarkers in the case of both the experimental and control group. Central obesity was found to be a significant indicator of altered body composition in response to stress. Conclusion: Stress is a key modulator in the alternation of phenotypic manifestation as well as body composition of PCOS patients which could be the plausible reason for further deterioration of this multifaceted disorder due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: November 2020

Covid 19 a pandemic disease caused by SARS CoV-2 mainly affects lungs and causes respiratory distress. The severity of the disease increase with underlying systemic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. Periodontal disease comprises a group of disease involving inflammatory reaction of the host and dysbiosis that eventually affects the periodontium and could have systemic involvement . Since inflammatory and dysbiosis affects systemic health it is possible that the periodontal status indicates the risk and severity of the infection . In Covid 19 there has been increased levels of circulating proinflammatory cytokines has been reported . The abnormal secretion of adipokines, cytokines and interferons may induce an impaired immune response. So, there is presence of a common inflammatory response leads to a possible relation between periodontal disease and Covid-19.

Published: November 2020

Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) causing Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has become a pandemic and has not been previously identified in humans. Transmission among humans occurs through respiratory droplets of infected individual. Patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 undergo acute respiratory distress because of Cytokine storm which serve as the major cause of morbidity and mortality in affected individuals.
Cytokines are defined as non-structural proteins which are small with low molecular weight and have a greater regulatory influence in inflammation and immunity. They are considered as the intercellular messenger in the immune system.
Therefore, this article provides a glimpse of advancements made in the area of SARS-CoV-2 infection where Cytokines may be a useful biomarker for both diagnostic and prognostic purpose and also as a therapeutic agent in targeting certain cytokines responsible for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients.

Published: November 2020

Carcinoma of tongue is one of the most notorious cancer of head and neck region. It constitutes about 36.5% of all oral malignancies. Neck node status is the single most important prognostic factor in oral tongue cancers and other head and neck cancers . Another important parameter which has the greatest influence on survival is the tumor thickness especially in carcinoma tongue . In this study, we assessed the association between tumor thickness & lymphatic metastasis in oral tongue cancer. The optimal cut-off point for tumor thickness was 4mm. Total 126 cases were studied of which maximum cases were between 40-49 years of age .Cases were more prevalent in males (69.05%) than females(30.95%) . As the T-stage of cancer progressed , the incidence of nodal metastasis also progressively advanced. It was also observed that as the tumor thickness increased , the proportion of positive lymph node cases also significantly increased. There was significant positive correlation between the tumor thickness measured on MRI and histopathology (r=0.709 , p<0.001)

Genu valgum or "knock knees" are deformities of the lower limb that occur in the coronal plane.[1] Though most patients are asymptomatic and are fully functional, these conditions are sometimes indicated by a flat feet and medial aspect of foot and knee pain. The normal alignment of the knee joint is at a minimal valgus position ,attained at around 7 years of age, giving the knee the stability required for mobilization. However, in the paediatric age group, the alignment of the knee joint changes from physiological genu valgum by 2 years to varus at about 7 years of age.[2]
ROADMAP TO RESTARTING ELECTIVE SURGERIES POST COVID 19 PANDEMIC - AN ANESTHETISTS PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Doshi Chaula , Jagavkar Priyanka
Published: November 2020

Corona Virus Disease (COVID 19) is a respiratory infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 or COVID 19 virus which struck the world in November 2019 rapidly spreading and attaining the form of a pandemic by March 2020.The disease was officially named as Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) by WHO on February 11, 2020.Spread is predominantly through respiratory droplet and close contacts with infected individuals. Airborne transmission is possible during aerosol generating medical procedures as the virus is abundantly present in nasopharyngeal, salivary secretions and body fluids of affected patients. During the pre-peaking, peak and plateau phase of the epidemic, non-emergency surgeries and invasive procedures took a backseat as all resources of healthcare providers were put to combat the disease. As the pandemic fades away the need of adapting the healthcare facilities and restarting elective surgeries has to be addressed. In this article we try to highlight the various challenges faced by the surgeons, anesthetists and healthcare professionals to restart elective surgical work. The strategies to overcome these hurdles are also discussed.

Published: November 2020

Aim: to determine the use of bite marks for human identification by using inter- canine distance and mesio-distal width of maxillary incisors.
Introduction: Odontogenic evidence is considered to be the third most precise method of identification of human in forensic sciences. Bite-marks on the body are intentionally made, those found on food particles are usually impractically left by the offender at the scene of crime, these marks are of great importance in identification of the offender. The present study was aimed to determine the use of bitemarks for human identification by using inter-canine distance and mesio-distal width of the maxillary incisors.
Materials and Methods: 40 consenting volunteers were included in the study. With the help of autoclaved Vernier calliper, the inter-canine distance and mesio-distal width of maxillary incisors were measured and bite on chocolate (CADBURY 5Star) was taken. Using Vernier calliper, Inter-canine distance and Mesio-distal width (2 maxillary central and 2 lateral incisors), were measured from the bite mark. Both measurements obtained were coded and matching was done by two doubly blinded examiners.
Results: The probability of correct identification on the basis of IC distance and MD width obtained from bite-marks is 68.35%. The average proportion of correct matching is 0.78 for IC distance measurement and 0.46 for MD width.
Conclusion: Metric method can be used for human identification by using bite-mark. IC distance is more reliable and efficient in human identification than MD width.

The entire globe is taken aback by the recent pandemic of CoViD-19 caused by SARS-CoV2 virus.Reportedly there are cases in 216 across the globe with the numbers soaring up to 8 million as of date.1India is one of the top 5 countries worst hit so far. Currently, there areover 413,000 confirmed cases and over 13,000 deaths.2 With no cure or vaccine in sight for the near future, the pandemic is set to stay with us for a while. The major work force in any health care institutional set up is by the interns, junior residents, senior residents and fellows. And is by no means different during the pandemic, they who remain the front-line shield in this crucial crisis.The training, educational process and health care (in terms of both physical and mental) of any resident should also be valued which is often disregarded in such difficult times of pandemic. Here we discuss the impact of the pandemic on the budding surgical community, especially in a volume over loaded apex institute in India.

Authors: Parakkal Thomas T , Jhingan Pulkit , Mathur Shivani , Sachdev Vinod
Published: November 2020

Introduction: Enterococcus faecalis is a common bacterial species in resistant and recurrent infections. It has an active proton pump which prevents its easy inhibition leading to endodontic treatment failure. LASER and photodynamic therapy have been employed lately in improving antimicrobial chemotherapy of localized infections.

Aim: To compare disinfection efficacy of 940nm Diode LASER & Photodynamic therapy(PDT) to Conventional method using 3% Sodium hypochlorite in canals of endodontically treated primary teeth.

Method: Single sitting Pulpectomy was performed on 60 mandibular first primary molars, divided into 3 groups, disinfected using mentioned modalities. Disinfection potential was compared collecting samples at 3 stages using paper points, cultured and incubated for 24hrs to check change in Colony Forming Units of the bacteria.

Results: Data analysis with SPSS version 20 software using Kruskal-Wallis and Mann Whitney-U test.

Conclusion: The three groups showed effective disinfection as revealed by the reduction in the colony forming units of the bacteria at baseline and after intervention. However, diode laser when used in conjunction with sodium hypochlorite as a disinfecting modality was found to be the most effective for the eradication of Enterococcus faecalis from infected root canals.

Context:
Contrast enhanced Ultrasonography(CEUS) has improved the detection and characterization of focal liver lesions, offering comparable results to those with contrast CT when ultra-sound exploration is technically satisfactory.The vascular property of the lesion in arterial, portal and delayed phases by enhancement and washout is used in this technique.

Aim:
The aim of the study is to interpret the use of contrast-enhanced ultra-sound (CEUS) in characterising the focal liver lesions and compare the diagnostic accuracy of the contrast-enhanced ultra-sound with contrast enhanced CT

Materials and Methods:
This is a cross sectional analytical study in patients with focal liver lesions detected by USG/CECT coming to Department of Radio diagnosis in Government Stanley Hospital.The duration of the study is two and a half years from January 2017 to July 2019.Sample Size was total of 51 patients detected by CECT /USG as focal liver lesions registered in Govt. Stanley Medical College Hospital between January 2017 to July 2019.

Results:
Diagnostic accuracy for CEUS is 76.46 % and CECT is 83.9%. Sensitivity, specificity , PPV ,NPV and Diagnostic accuracy of the CEUS is almost near equal or comparable with that of CECT.

Conclusion:
CEUS has ability to detect and characterise of focal liver lesions with no risk of radiation exposure and aids in real time imaging assessment.The study parameters like sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of the CEUS are comparable with that of CECT.CEUS can be used to characterise the focal liver lesions in patients where CECT is contraindicated.
CORRELATION BETWEEN VISUAL PROSTATE SYMPTOM SCORE & INTERNATIONAL PROSTATE SYMPTOM SCORE IN EVALUATION OF MEN WITH BPH: A PROSPECTIVE STUDY FROM AN NORTH EAST INDIAN POPULATION
Authors: Koliwad Pavan Kumar , Yadav Arpan , Singh Akoijam Kaku
Published: November 2020

Introduction:
The international prostate symptom score (IPSS) is widely used to assess the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), but is very complicated & difficult to comprehend. Visual Prostate Symptom Score (VPSS) was introduced to overcome the drawbacks of the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS).
Materials & Methods:
This was a prospectively designed study conducted at Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal. A total of 200 patients who presented to the urology outpatient department with LUTS due to BPH were enrolled in the study. All patients were given both questionnaires. The correlation test was used to assess the correlation between two symptom scores and various parameters. Observations with a P value < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Results:
Of 200 patients, 61% of them were above the age of 60 years; mean ± standard deviation age was 62.72 ± 9.11 (range 48– 84 years). Total time taken to complete IPSS & VPSS were 589.30 ± 190.74 sec & 175.35± 62.59 sec respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in the number of patients requiring assistance to fill the questionnaires according to their education level. There was a positive correlation between IPSS total score and VPSS total score (r = 0.54; P < 0.001), IPSS Qol versus VPSS Qol (r = 0.53; P < 0.001). A negative correlation was observed between total VPSS and Qmax (r= -0.719; P < 0.001), total IPSS and Qmax (r= -0.654; P < 0.001). All VPSS questions showed statistically significant correlation with the corresponding IPSS questions.
Conclusion: VPSS can be used as a better alternative to IPSS which is easier, more compliant, takes lesser time and even can be understood by a less educated person.

Published: November 2020

Primary internal hernia is a rare phenomenon, where there is protrusion of an abdominal organ mostly gut through epiploic foramen. Clinical presentation of internal hernia is non specific.Imaging has been of limited utility in cases of acute intestinal obstruction; moreover ,interpretation of imaging features is operator dependant. Thus internal hernias are usually detected at laparotomy and preoperative diagnosis in an emergency setting is either difficult or most of the time not suspected We describe the case of a 14-year-old male who presented with acute abdominal pain and abdominal distension with no history of trauma .A loop of jejunum was found to enter the lesser sac with multiple peforated jejunal loop 35cm distal to dj junction. .The segment of perforated bowel loop of length 10cm was resected and jejuno-jejunostomy was done.This is a rare type internal hernia into lesser sac.
