Background: Nonresolving pneumonia is a pneumonia with a delayed or slow resolution of radiographic infiltrates or clinical symptoms despite adequate treatment with antibiotics for a minimum period of 10 days. Fibreoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) and CT guided FNAC has a specific role in diagnosis of Non resolving pneumonia. Aims and Objectives: To assess the diagnostic efficacy of fibreoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) and computed tomography (CT)- guided fi ne needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in evaluation of non-resolving or slowly resolving pneumonia with special emphasis on clinical outcome. Material and Methods: The study was designed as a prospective observational study. We reviewed FOB in Sixty-five consecutive patients of Non-resolving pneumonia admitted under Respiratory Medicine unit of Sri aurobindo medical college and PG Institute Indore from June 2012 to May 2014. We also reviewed role of CT guided FNAC in selected case where FOB result was inconclusive. Result: Out of total Sixty-five case of non resolving pneumonia, Fifty-two patient (81%) were diagnosed with the help of FOB and Eleven patients (91%) were diagnosed with help of CT guided FNAC out of Twelve patient subjected for procedure. Conclusion: FOB should be the first option before CT-guided FNAC in evaluating non-resolving pneumonia. Both the procedures were safe and no major complication was observed.

Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the role of hysteron-laparoscopy in evaluation and management of infertility.Methods: Prospective observational study was conducted in department of obstetrics and gynaecology, LLRM medical college, SVBP hospital Meerut from May 2019 to June 2020. It included 58 women aged 22-40 years with primary and secondary infertility with normal hormone profile without male factor infertility.Results: Out of total 58 cases for infertility evaluated, primary infertility were 42 (72.41%) and secondary infertility were 67 (27.59%). In hysteroscopy deep seated ostium (12.06%), followed by endometrial polyp (6.89%) ,intrauterine synechiae (6.89%) were the most common pathologies while common abnormalities in laparoscopy were tubal pathology (20.68%), endometriosis (15.51%), and PCOD (12.06%) .Some of the diagnosed pathologies were dealt surgically in same sitting.Conclusions: Hystero-laparoscopy is a feasible and acceptable procedure and it can be used as “one time approach” in the assessment of female infertility caused due to pelvic and uterine pathology. It helps in diagnosis of certain factors causing infertility, which cannot be diagnosed by any other method such as by USG, HSG and reveals whether surgery is possible and if so the nature of surgery most suited for patient which can be performed in the same sitting.

The aim of this single-center observational study was to analyze the applicability of various imaging studies to the diagnosis and further evaluation of patients with chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO). The analysis included the data of 10 patients with CRMO treated between 2016 and 2021. The mean ages of the patients at the first manifestation of CRMO and ultimate diagnosis were 10 years and 7 months and 11 years and 10 months, respectively. Conventional radiography demonstrated focal loss of bone density in only 30% of the patients. Computed tomography showed disseminated foci with non-homogeneous osteolytic/osteosclerotic structure, with a massive loss of cortical layer and strong periosteal reaction. On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), most patients presented with multifocal hypodense areas on T1-weighted images, with the enhancement of signal on T-weighted and STIR sequences. The duration of follow-up varied between 3 months and 3 years. In 40% of the patients, both clinical symptoms and the abnormalities seen on MRI resolved completely, whereas another 50% showed partial regression of clinical and radiological manifestations. MRI findings, co-existing with characteristic clinical manifestations, play a pivotal role in establishing the ultimate diagnosis of CRMO. MRI can also be used to monitor the outcomes of treatment in CRMO patients.

Aim: to evaluate the role of serial CRP evaluation in the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. Materials and Methods: The present prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Pediatrics, Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, Bihar for the period of 1 year.  A total of 97 neonates suspected of sepsis having birth-weight >1,500 g constituted the study population. CRP was measured from the serum by quantitative turbidimetric immunoassay. The CRP 1 level was measured at the time of clinical presentation; CRP 2 and CRP 3 were measured at 24 and 48 hours respectively. Results: In the present study out of total 97 subjects, there were 59 (60.8%) males and 38 (39.2%) females. CRP was found positive in 60 cases. In the present study, lethargy (100%), decreased activity (100%), poor feeding (94.7%), poor cry (94.7%), tachypnea (89.5%), hypotonia (47.4%), hypothermia (31.6%), convulsion (26.5%), prolonged CFT (21.1%) and fever (10.5%) were the various symptoms observed. Conclusion: Serial CRP measurements are useful in the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. CRP 3 level may virtually rule out or rule in the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis, and has very good correlation with blood culture. Keywords: CRP, Sepsis, Neonates
