Abstract Background Umbilical hernias (UH) are common in patients seeking abdominal contouring surgery and the question of simultaneous abdominoplasty and UH repair is raised. This presents, however, a risk to the umbilicus vascularization with possible umbilical necrosis. As a result, the umbilicus maintains its only blood supply from the underlying fascial attachments via the umbilical stalk. Abdominoplasty in the setting of a hernia repair can improve patients satisfaction, particularly appearance, hygiene, self-confidence and decrease the incidence of recurrence. Objective To assess the outcome of the combined procedure of abdominoplasty and repair of umbilical hernia. Patients and Methods This study Included 26 patients (18 females and 8 males) who were selected from those who presented to the department of general surgery at EL Demerdash University Hospital and Nasr city insurance hospital during the period between april2019 and october 2019. All patients had a physical examination of the UH and diastasis. Divided into two groups, each group formed of 13 patients. First group (group A) with patients underwent herniorrphy alone and the other group (group B) with patients underwent hernioplasty with combined abdominoplasty. Results It may be concluded that (1) during an abdominoplasty, midline fascial plication and ventral hernia repair can be performed in defects &lt;3 cm without mesh reinforcement with no increase in hernia recurrence rates, (2) in patients with defects &gt; 3 cm, mesh reinforcement is indicated after suture hernia repair and midline plication,, yields lower recurrence of abdominal deformity and less refashioning procedures with minimal complications. Conclusion Finally, it may help to reduce the incidence of recurrence by enabling removal of a large pannus and the resultant weight on the anterior abdominal wall, though this has not been proven. Also it improves the quality of life and obtains patients satisfaction with this approach.

Blood group substances have been isolated from the saliva of human beings of blood group B and from the linings of individual horse stomachs. The properties of the human B substances are similar to those of hog and human blood group substances previously isolated. The horse substances showed lower hexosamine and reducing sugar and higher total and non-hexosamine nitrogen than do the materials from the other species. Materials isolated from individual horse stomachs possess either A or B activity or both. Certain stomachs yielded products of identical analytical composition but with neither blood group A, B, or O activity as measured by their ability to inhibit isoagglutination. Fucose has been identified as a constituent of the horse blood group substances.

Remarkable Progress

There are various factors that interfere growth & development of a child. The effects of several diseases that occur exclusively in childhood period may or may not be irreversible and interfere with Growth & Development. The worm infestations have been responsible for worsening the living conditions in millions of children around the world affecting the growth and development, despite of remarkable progress in medical science. Worms seem to be affecting the human beings right from the Vedic  as there are references of the same. Hence the present study was intended to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of the selected drug in management of Enterobiasis, to find out economical therapy for Krimi roga with minimum or no side effect and to prevent further complication. 30 Patients suffering from Krimi roga (infested with pinworm) based on the clinical symptoms and fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected from the OPD and IPD, of S.V.Ayurvedic hospital in bala roga unit. The patients were selected randomly into two groups each comprising of 15 patients. Group A (Control) were given swab of distilled water and Group B (Trial) - were given swab of tepid Katu tailam with saindhava lavana. The case particulars were drafted in specially designed case sheet. Response to the treatment was assessed with the help of detailed case sheet proforma that was specifically designed for the study. The subjective and objective parameters were graded into different categories basing on their condition using a 4 point grading scale. The results were evaluated. The data was collected and analysed to compare the effect of the treatment before and after treatment between control and trial groups using unpaired t-test. The selected drug proved efficacious in controlling the Enterobiasis by interrupting the autoinfection cycle and reducing the reservoir of infection.

Background and Objective:Oral cancer is one of the most common malignancies that affect human beings across the world and early detection of oral cancer is believed to reduce the morbidity significantly. Fluorescence diagnosis is emerging as a promising method in the differentiation of cancerous lesions and thus helping in the determination of resolution for the surgical resection of affected area of malignancy very accurately. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of an autofluorescence hand held device (OralID) to detect oral premalignant lesions.Methods:98 potentially high-risk oral cancer patients were divided into two groups (n=49/group). Both the groups were first examined by conventional oral examination under white light and oral findings were noted. Subjects under group B were further examined under fluorescence light through hand held device, i.e. OralID. After the examinations, a surgical biopsy sample was taken from the suspected lesions under local anaesthesia from both the groups to confirm the diagnosis through histopathological analysis.Results:The positive potential malignant lesions (PMLs) observed in Group A when compared with biopsy reporting was 89.47% true positive while in Group B was 95.24%. The sensitivity reported of Group A was 89.47% and Group B was 97.56%. We observed 8.09% more sensitivity and 11.36% more specificity when we incorporate adjunctive the fluorescence examination using OralID.Conclusion:Results from this study suggests that OralID is a true adjunct to conventional oral examination in detecting early potential malignant changes in subjects visiting for regular dental check-up.

Background: We compared one-year amputation and survival rates in patients fulfilling 1991 European consensus critical limb ischaemia (CLI) definition to those clas, sified as CLI by TASC II but not European consensus (EC) definition. Patients and methods: Patients were selected from the COPART cohort of hospitalized patients with peripheral occlusive arterial disease suffering from lower extremity rest pain or ulcer and who completed one-year follow-up. Ankle and toe systolic pressures and transcutaneous oxygen pressure were measured. The patients were classified into two groups: those who could benefit from revascularization and those who could not (medical group). Within these groups, patients were separated into those who had CLI according to the European consensus definition (EC + TASC II: group A if revascularization, group C if medical treatment) and those who had no CLI by the European definition but who had CLI according to the TASC II definition (TASC: group B if revascularization and D if medical treatment). Results: 471 patients were included in the study (236 in the surgical group, 235 in the medical group). There was no difference according to the CLI definition for survival or cardiovascular event-free survival. However, major amputations were more frequent in group A than in group B (25 vs 12 %, p = 0.046) and in group C than in group D (38 vs 20 %, p = 0.004). Conclusions: Major amputation is twice as frequent in patients with CLI according to the historical European consensus definition than in those classified to the TASC II definition but not the EC. Caution is required when comparing results of recent series to historical controls. The TASC II definition of CLI is too wide to compare patients from clinical trials so we suggest separating these patients into two different stages: permanent (TASC II but not EC definition) and critical ischaemia (TASC II and EC definition).

Abstract. Background: Absorbable sutures are not generally accepted by most vascular surgeons for the fear of breakage of the suture line and the risk of aneurysmal formation, except in cases of paediatric surgery or in case of infections. Aim of this study is to provide evidence of safety and efficacy of the use of absorbable suture materials in carotid surgery. Patients and methods: In an 11 year period, 1126 patients (659 male [58.5 %], 467 female [41.5 %], median age 72) underwent carotid endarterectomy for carotid stenosis by either conventional with primary closure (cCEA) or eversion (eCEA) techniques. Patients were randomised into two groups according to the type of suture material used. In Group A, absorbable suture material (polyglycolic acid) was used and in Group B non-absorbable suture material (polypropylene) was used. Primary end-point was to compare severe restenosis and aneurysmal formation rates between the two groups of patients. For statistical analysis only cases with a minimum period of follow-up of 12 months were considered. Results: A total of 868 surgical procedures were considered for data analysis. Median follow-up was 6 years (range 1-10 years). The rate of postoperative complications was better for group A for both cCEA and eCEA procedures: 3.5 % and 2.0 % for group A, respectively, and 11.8 % and 12.9 % for group B, respectively. Conclusions: In carotid surgery, the use of absorbable suture material seems to be safe and effective and with a general lower complications rate compared to the use of non-absorbable materials.
