The Upper respiratory tract infection is mainly attributed to viral infections so focus should be given to inhibition of viral-host interaction, their entry and replication in the host cells and release of inammatory st cytokines, resulting physiological disturbances. The host's immune system is the 1 line of defence against such threats so multitargeted herbal immune-boosters, with antioxidant, anti-inammatory and tissue repair potential would be preferred. The natural cocktail of medicinal plants has shown promising results both by using bioinformatics based drug docking studies, in animal experiments and in clinical trials. Here we have reviewed the 6-medicinal plants, used in making “Immuhelp”, towards their established role in management of viral-host interaction, activation of innate and adaptive immunity, inhibition-potential against release of inammatory cytokines, immunosuppressive and chemoattractant agents and antioxidant potentials.

Authors: Sagvekar Avinash , Fulbel Sachin , Mahule Aushili
Published: June 2021

An important objective of prosthetic rehabilitation is to conserve any residual tissue. Patients undergoing
resection of maxilla due to accidental casualties or benign or malignant tumor will have inadequacy in
maxillary palatal area. Removable prostheses gets support, stability and retention mainly through anatomical structures such
as teeth, alveolar bones and palate. When surgical intervention removes much of these structures, remaining tissue becomes
too vulnerable to support the necessary prosthesis. Therefore, important considerations to be undertaken to attain extra
support, retention and resistance while planning for obturator of maxillary defects.
In this case report we have advocated the application of an obturator that closes the defected cavity and also restores the
masticatory functions. This obturator is retained by the stainless steel 19 gauge wire encircling the teeth in neighbouring
quadrant, undercuts surrounding the defect. The prosthetic obturator was inserted in a 58-year old partially edentulous patient
with an extensive maxillary defect. Subjective and objective evaluations indicated that the functional efcacy of obturator
dened the quality of life of the patient. The concept of a obturator is a useful solution for the particular situation created by
maxillectomy.

Authors: Sharma Rakesh Kumar , Anjum Awan Shahid , Gupta Amita
Published: June 2021

Introduction: Regionalization envisages a two-way ow of patients & services designated as “Referralin” and “Referral-out” cases.”Referral-in” generally means patients from Sub Center, Primary Health
Center, Community Health Center & District Hospitals Referred to Tertiary Care Hospital for Specialized care.”Referred-out”
Generally means patients from Tertiary Care Hospitals to Higher Centers like Apex Institutions including AIIMS (New
Delhi),SKIMS(Srinagar).PGIMER(Chandigarh, SGPGI(Lucknow), etc. for Super specialized treatment.
Objective: To determine the effect of Referral- in admissions on the functioning of Gynecology & Obstetrics Department in a
Teaching Hospital.
Methodology: An Observational study was conducted over a period of 12 months from February 2019 to January 2020 in a 750
–bedded Tertiary Care Hospital of Jammu(UT) popularly Known as Shri Maharaja Gulab Singh(SMGS) Hospital, Jammu.
Observations & Results: A detailed description of academic as well as functional status of Gynae & Obs. Department
including Faculty-position, OPD patients, Inpatients admitted, Deliveries conducted(LSCS & MLE), Surgical Operations(Major
as well as Minor) along with Bed-Occupancy Rate(BOR) & Referred-in Admissions during the study duration was recon ciliated
& put forth in Tabulated Form after collecting from the Medical Records Department of the Hospital & displayed Statistically in
Bar-Charts & pie-Chart.
Discussion: Excessive Referral-in admissions to Teaching Hospital from PHC,SDH,DH & AH Level results in
Overcrowding/Congestion in Hospital Wards culminating in Exhaustion of Resources like Drugs, Medicines, Reagents & other
logistics. Supportive Services like Sanitation, Ambulance Transportation & Dietary facilities get worsened thereby
exaggerating the Sepsis as well as nasocomial infection rate. There are increased chances of Corruption, & Violence/Verbal
Scufes between Hospital Staff & Attendants of patients.
Conclusion & Recommendation: Instead of irrationally referring the patients to Teaching Hospitals from Lower level Health
Care Facilities(HCF), they should be rst sent to Associated Medical College Hospitals established at different Districts before
being referred to Provincial Tertiary care Hospital thereby reducing the extra-load over Teaching Hospitals resulting in rapid
depletion of resources as well as Medico- Social and Law & Order problems.

AIM – To assess the tear film stability and the tear drainage in dysfunctional uterine bleeding women. MATERIALS
AND METHODS : A randomised study of 50 women of fertile age and with irregular menstrual cycles for a period of 1
year were enrolled in this study. Tear production was evaluated with Schirmer I and II test, tear stability with tear breakup
time, tear film meniscus, ocular surface stained with lissamine green and Meibomian gland count assessed. Tear
drainage was assessed using Jones dye test. The data values of Schirmer's test 1 and 2 , TBUT and Jo RESULTS : nes dye test
were found to be normal in all the patients. As the patients were tested randomly in different phases of their disrupted
cycles, the differences in their tear film stability and production could not be commented. The fin CONCLUSION: dings
of our study show that Meibomian glands exhibit a cyclic change in normal menstrual cycle whereas in irregular
menstrual cycles, no changes were found in tear film production and drainage as women were in their different phases of
irregular menstrual cycle

In the modern era of medicine, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an indispensable part in diagnosing
knee injuries.Due to an increased dependence and reliance on MRI,clinical findings are often ignored and this leads to a
neglect in diagnosing ligament injury. Considering a highly variable result in clinical findings & less studies being
performed in Indian population we did an agreement study comparing the role of clinical examination,MRI findings and
diagnostic arthroscopy in the diagnosis of traumatic chronic anterior cruciate ligament & meniscal injuries in our
tertiary care hospital. In our prospective study we included 267 patients with anterior cruciate ligament, medial
meniscus and lateral meniscus injuries.First these patients were examined clinically,then subjected to an MRI scan and
arthroscopic surgery.Here we report a superior sensitivity and specificity of clinical examination in comparison to MRI
scan for diagnosis of medial meniscal tears. For the diagnosis of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and lateral meniscus
injury the results were found to be aequivocal.We recommend that when suspected clinically, a normal MRI should not
be considered as a sufficient evidence to defer an arthroscopy in knee injury patient.

BACKGROUND: COVID- 19 has been a difficult time for the world and with economic shutdown,the new normal ways of
wearing a mask, the quarantine procedures and many different ways to function and adapt has elicited mental health
challenges among many.The changing ways of situations and the fear of contracting the virus has elicited serious mental
health challenges among people.Hence this study aims to understand the mental health challenges among COVID-19
recovered patients and to understand the resilience and coping style of people recovered from contracting the illness.
METHODS: 41 Participants who contracted the COVID-19 virus in Chennai participated in the study. Participants who
recovered from COVID-19, were contacted via telephone and participants who consented to the study were assessed
using Impact of Event–revised (IES-R) scale,Patient health Questionnaire (PHQ -9),Coping scale ,brief resilience scale
and Quality of life scale.The data obtained will be analysed using Pearson correlation co-efficient.
RESULTS: The results of the study depicts the mental health challenges of the patients recovered from COVID - 19,on the
different psychological issues along side the resilience and coping strategies used by them.The study also depict an
understanding of these factors on the quality of life of the participants in their recovered stage.

The foot is the second commonest location for foreign bodies. The foremost common foreign bodies are needles, metal,
glass, wood, and plastic. Though bimetal foreign bodies area unit promptly seen on plain film radiographs, radiolucent
bodies like wood area unit pictured poorly, if at all.Though plain radiography is thought to be ineffective for
demonstrating radiolucent foreign bodies, it's usually the primary imaging modality used. Herein, we present the case of
a 42 years old man who had presented to the clinic with history of pain and swelling in his right foot. On examination, his
vitals, heart sounds and breathing during auscultation were found to be normal. This particular individual had no other
significant chronic illness. A brief history obtained from the patient revealed that penetrated wooden foreign bodies in
his hind sole region. In view of his present complaints, he was successfully managed with antibiotics and pain relieving
medications. Our patient comes under the small percentage of cases that had a missed diagnosis as the expulsion of the
wooden particles occurred 3 months after the initial visit to the clinic. This case is being presented to enlighten
understanding on clinical picture of retained wooden foreign bodies in foot.

Published: June 2021

AIM:To determine the behavior of IOP in different age groups among normal populations after water drinking test for a
period of time.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:This is a prospective study involving normal healthy individual taken from different age
groups 20-50 years,with no relevant past medical and surgical history. Patients were instructed to drink 1Litre of water
over a period of 5-10minutes after 8 hours of overnight fasting and the IOP was checked before drinking water and every
15minutes for 1 hour period followed by 2 hours after drinking water using schiotz tonometer.The difference in baseline
IOP and IOP at 1 hour and 2 hour was evaluated among different age groups .
RESULT: 100 patients from the age groups 20-50 years were studied .The mean baseline IOP was in the range of
12.4mmHg and the mean IOP after 1 hour was 15.3mmHg.A difference of 4-4.5 mmHg were noted in the age group of 40-
50 years .The IOP was gradually decreasing to 12.78mmHg over a period of 2 hours after WDT.
CONCLUSION: The higher age group the more the rise in the IOP after WDT which concludes that as the age increases
drinking litres of water over a few minutes will substantially increase the IOP,which might damage the optic nerve.

Published: June 2021

Stupendous possibility of scientific and technological advancement in the field of health care services, the corneal transplantation emerges as a mechanism to enhance the life of a corneal blind person. The number of corneal transplantation has increased with the decrease in graft failure.The institutionalization of corneal transplantation and eye donation has blurred the line between human and machine.This brings a transformation in the outlook of people towards body and eye in the society.The body is considered as a machine and cornea (part of eye anatomy) is regarded as spare part which can be exchanged to replace the healthy donated cornea with the damage cornea of a recipient.The paper seeks to understand the perception towards dead body and willingness for eye donation in the society. The symbolic meaning attached with body and eye in the society is also outlined in the paper.The aim of the paper is to describe the representation of eye and willingness for eye donation among students of Panjab University and its affiliated colleges in Chandigarh,India.

The aim of this study was to determine different causes of endodontic treatment failure in patients who approached our
Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics for re- treatment.This study included one hundred fifty patients
of both genders with different post endodontic treatment complaints.Clinical and radio- graphic examination was used
to confirm treatment failure. The most common clinical symptoms were tenderness, tenderness and pain, or swelling
(72%, 29.3% and 22.7% respectively). The common causes of endodontic treatment failure were poorly filled (40%),
under filled (34.7%) and no root canal filling (17.3%).Root canal failure due to overfilling was 5.3%.Most of these failed
cases were either treated by internees (House officers) in the teaching institutes (34.7%) or general dental practitioners
(57.3%).
