Abstract Background Indocyanine green (ICG) is a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye. After intravenous injection, it reaches the vessels of the brain within 30 s. A real-time visualization of the cerebral vasculature is possible. Results The infarction rate and the postoperative rebleed rate in the pre-ICG era group were higher than in the ICG era. Conclusion Intraoperative ICGVA is a safe and effective method to confirm the exclusion of the clipped aneurysm from the circulation. It also helps to assess the patency of the surrounding vessels.

Background: the present study was under taken to determine the role of CA-125 in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis (AA), to prevent its complications and also in preventing negative appendicectomies in tertiary care hospital. Methods: The study was conducted at a tertiary care and research center between 01/03/2018 to 30/06/2019. Patients admitted to the surgery department with diagnosis of AA were considered for the study. After informed consent, a, standardized history was obtained as a case Performa. Serum samples from all the cases with clinical diagnosis of AA were obtained and stored. Only the cases with histopathologically approved AA were included in the study. Cases operated for clinical diagnosis of AA, but not histopathologically proven AA was not included in the study. CA125 levels in cases with definitive diagnosis of AA were measured. Results: In present study, ROC curve analysis revealed the sensitivity of 87.27 % and specificity of 90.91 % when the CA 125 cut-off value of > 16.8 was taken to diagnose acute appendicitis. AUC was 0.911 with a standard error of 0.0292. Conclusion: In this study we have observed that CA125 showed a positive correlation with acute appendicitis, that was statistically not significant (P>0.05). We didn’t evaluate the correlation with the disease severity. We consider that CA125 can be used as a marker in acute appendicitis cases although further research is still needed. Keywords: CA125, Acute Appendicitis, Surgery.

Porphyria cutanea tarda is the most frequent type of Porphyria worldwide & presents with skin symptoms mainly. Porphyrias can affect peripheral, autonomic and central nervous system. In Porphyria conditions there is accumulation of heme precursors 5 Aminolevulinic acid, Porphobilinogen and porphyrins which are associated with characteristic clinical feature with acute neurovisceral attacks and skin lesions. This case report summarizes Case of PCT that was successfully managed with Therapeutic Phlebotomy.
