Oral Clefts with Associated Anomalies: Methodological Issues

Objective To discuss methodological factors that account for the wide variation in the reported prevalence rates of anomalies associated with oral clefts. Conclusions The published prevalences of associated anomalies vary considerably because of the following: (1) differences in case definition and inclusion/exclusion criteria; (2) length of time after birth that cases are examined; (3) variability of clinical expression of associated anomalies; (4) knowledge and technology available to produce syndrome delineation; (5) selection of patients, sources of ascertainment, and sample size; and (6) true population differences and changes in frequency over time.

Background and Objective: BPH is a senile disorder, which leads to urinary symptoms like incomplete empty- ing, urgency etc. 90 % of the males over 80 years of age have histological evidence of BPH. Acharya Sushruta has described Vatastheela, as a type of Mutraghata. Owing to the various medical and surgical complications while treating the disease, an Ayurvedic approach using classical medicines in the management of BPH is re- quired. This study was conducted clinical evaluation of Matra Basti of Varun Taila and Kanchnar Guggulu in Vatastheela (BPH). Aim: In this clinical study the aim was to evaluate the effects of Matra Basti of Varun Taila and Kanchnar Guggulu in the management of Vatastheela (BPH). Material and Methods: Random selection of patients was done from OPD of Shalya Tantra Patanjali Ayurved Hospital Haridwar. The study is approved by the ethics and research committee of the same institute vide its latter no PAC/IEC/2018-19/04 and CTRI Registrationnumber CTRI/ 2020/11/029404. Based on the Inclusion and exclusion criteria a total of 30 patients were selected. Kanchnar Guggulu 2 TAB BD for 3 months and Varun Talia 72 ml Matra Basti for 1week. Observation: As- sessment was made on subjective and objective parameters. Observations were recorded before and after treat- ment. The grading of parameters was used for statistical analysis. Results: The results showed marked relief in subjective and objective parameters. Moreover, this therapy was well accepted by all patients and did not cause any hindrance in their daily routine work during period of management. Conclusion: We can conclude that the effects of Matra Basti of Varun Taila and Kanchnar Guggulu were significant and free from any complication.

Introduction: The average incidence of perioperative stroke during major non-cardiac surgery is less than 1%, suggesting that it is rarely a major problem for the vast majority of patients. Methods: In our paper we present a 46-year-old patient undergoing acute right hemicolectomy who developed right-sided hemiparesis in the perioperative setting. Immediate CTAg examination showed an ischemic stroke in the left hemisphere as a result of left internal carotid thrombosis. A surgical procedure to recanalize the left carotid artery was performed 14 hours from the onset of neurological symptomatology and the neurological deficit gradually recovered fully. Conclusion: Our case report supports studies showing that a thorough diagnostic assessment allows the selection of patients who may benefit from urgent revascularization of acute internal carotid occlusion during the phase of acute brain ischemia.
