Role of Public–Private Partnerships in delivering Health Care Services in India
Authors: Agarwal Medhavi , Tanwar Ruchi 
Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT
A public–private partnership (PPP) is a contractual arrangement between a private sector and a government sector. Through this agreement, the skills and assets of each other are shared in delivering a service or facility for use of general public. In recent years, there have been many initiatives to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and equity in provision of health care services in the country. Public–private partnership is one such initiative. Public–private partnership is the first step toward the health care services to improve quality, efficiency, accessibility, availability, acceptability, and equity of the services. It strengthens the existing health system by improving management of health within the government infrastructure and mobilizes the additional resources. Private sector is the most important source of health care services in India, providing maximum health services to the population. In absence of effective public health system, majority of household seek health care from nongovernment sectors. Various partnerships are being pursued under the existing program of ministry, especially RCH-2, independently by the state under their own resources.

Glimpses of Evolution of Micro-ear Surgery
Authors: Srivastava Abhinav , Singh Rachana 
Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT
Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the middle ear cleft. It is of two types: Mucosal and squamosal, and it can present with life-threatening complications.
A surgery of very small structure, like inner and middle ear, is very difficult to do accurately with naked eyes and this led to the evolution of magnifying devices, like loupes, microscopes, and endoscopes. With time, electronic devices came into picture and a trained coordinated move of the hand under microscopeassisted eyes gave accurate and better surgery results.
The use of microscopes has crossed the territory of otology and many other surgical specialties are also using like neurosurgery, plastic surgery, and ophthalmology.

An unusual Case of Bilateral Ethmoidal Mucopyocele
Authors: Bhardwaj Prashant , Srivastava Abhinav , Yadav Sadhana , Rana Amit K 
Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT
Mucocele is defined as an epithelial-lined, mucus-containing benign sac completely filling the sinus and can be seen expanding to induce pressure effects on surrounding structures. Frontoethmoidal mucocele is by far the most common due to the complexity of its drainage, and incidence of maxillary mucocele is least.
A 20-year-old female presented with a chief complaint of protruding right eyeball, redness and watering from both eyes, persistent headache, and decreased vision in both eyes since 4 months, along with complaint of diplopia and bilateral nasal obstruction with marked nonaxial proptosis, chemosis, and downward globe displacement along with telecanthus and lateral dystopia in the right eye. Orbital movements were restricted in superolateral direction. Vision was markedly decreased. Fundus examination was normal on the left side, but right eye showed hyperemic optic disk and full optic cup with dilated blood vessels. Right corneal examination showed signs of exposure keratitis.
Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) of the paranasal sinus (PNS) revealed bilateral mucocele in ethmoid sinus with hypoplastic frontal and maxillary sinus with aplastic sphenoid sinuses, which is not a common presentation. Endoscopic-wide marsupialization of bilateral mucopyocele was performed under general anesthesia.
