The diameters and areas of portal vein, caudal vena cava and abdominal aorta are useful measurements in dogs. These values can be easily measured by ultrasonographic exam, and variations of normality can be an important indicator of hepatic or extra-hepatic alterations. This study aimed to measure the diameter and areas of portal vein, caudal vena cava and abdominal aorta in healthy dogs, with normal corporal score, divided in groups according to the body weight, and assess whether the data are influenced by animal weight. Thirty dogs were examined and divided into three groups (Group A: ≤ 10 kg Group B: from 10.1 to 20.0 kg; Group C: ≥ 20.1 kg). To measure the diameters and areas of portal vein, caudal vena cava and abdominal aorta, the animal was kept in left lateral decubitus position and the transducer was placed on the right lateral abdominal wall, at approximately the 10th or 11th intercostal space, in the porta hepatis region. The diameters and areas of the portal vein, caudal vena cava and abdominal aorta were significantly lower for dogs in Group A with respect to other groups and the dogs from Groups B and C had similar results with each other. The diameters and areas of the portal vein, caudal vena cava and abdominal aorta may vary with the animal size, and reference values must be specific for small, medium and large dogs.

Previous studies of systemic and portal hypertension have reported an increase in the elastic tissue component. However, there is no mention of conformational alterations in the elastic network beyond reduplication of the internal elastic lamina in rabbit inferior vena cava. This experiment was designed to study the configurational alterations in the internal elastic lamina (IEL) of hypertensive hepatic portal vein of the rat.Twenty-one male Sprague-Dawley rats, approximately the same age and weight, were divided into three groups. Group A consisted of five normal controls which had not undergone surgery. Group B consisted of seven sham control rats which had a laparotomy, but the portal vein was not ligated. Group C consisted of nine experimental rats which had the portal vein partially ligated to create a stenosis. The portal vein was removed eight weeks after laparotomy. The elastic network was then exposed by removal of the nonelastic components by sonication in 0.5N sodium hydroxide and autoclaving. The tissue was fixed in Karnovsky's fluid with a phosphate buffer and routinely prepared for SEM observation.

Abstract In order to quantitatively assess the effect of sample storage conditions on the body burden analysis of organic contaminants, a comparative analysis was carried out on the unionid mussel Elliptic complanata. The mussels were divided into two groups, each with distinct storage conditions, while Group A was kept in the freezer at −20°C, Group B was kept in the refrigerator for five days at 5°C. All the compounds present in the control were also present in Group B samples. Analysis of the organic contaminants in each of these two groups showed that for total PCB concentrations, the two treatments were not significantly different; however when compared individually 6 of the 13 PCB congeners showed significant differences. The observed differences were relatively small for individual PCB congeners (7.1 to 15.3%), higher for chlorobenzenes (10.5 to 36.4%), and yet higher for HCE (44.1%); the difference for HCE, although large is nevertheless not significant, even if only marginally so.

Abstract Background Repair of a perforated tympanic membrane (myringoplasty) can facilitate normal middle ear function, resist infection, and help re-establish normal hearing. Autogenous graft materials are the most popular graft materials used in myringoplasty because of their easy acceptability by the body. This study is conducted to compare between temporalis fascia graft and fascia lata graft in myringoplasty for patients with tubo-tympanic dry perforation. Results A total of 60 patients with persistent dry tympanic membrane perforation were included in our study during the period from January 2018 to May 2020. Patients underwent myringoplasty with temporalis fascia (30 patients as group A) or fascia lata (30 patients as group B). Patients were scheduled for follow-up visits concerning graft status, ear discharge, and audiograms. The mean postoperative air-bone gap in group A was 17.5 ± 4 after 1 month and 8.6 ± 6.9 after 3 months, while in group B, the mean postoperative air-bone gap was 17.6 ± 4.9 after 1 month and 9.4 ± 7.5 after 3 months. There was 90% success in graft uptake in group A, while there was 80% success in group B. Conclusion Using temporalis fascia is still the best and most trustworthy technique of myringoplasty compared to fascia lata graft. However, fascia lata can be a good alternative to temporalis fascia especially in cases of revision myringoplasty, ears having large perforation, or near-total perforation where the chances of residual perforation are high because of the limited margin of remnant tympanic membrane overlapping the graft.

Metabolism is the natural process of the body, which is necessary to maintenance of the homeostasis of an individual person. Everybody constitutions are always in the process of metabolism, which is a combination of Anabolism (Construction) and Catabolism (Deterioration). As Agni is prime factor for all the Chayapachayakriya. Medoroga, is one of the Metabolic disease, in which contributing factors are Agni, Ama along with Kaphapradhana Tridosha, Medodhathu. Due to various types of etiological factors, the Agni in the body gets vitiated and Jatharagnimandya occurs. By this Jatharagnimandya, Dhathuparinama will not occur properly. This will lead to Medoroga and further many other Upadravas. To correct these conditions, Ayurveda has many modes of therapies like Samshodhana, Samshamana. By these we can correct the metabolism from the root cause. Here 40 Subjects diagnosed with Medoroga w.s.r. to Hyperlipidemia fulfilling the Inclusion criteria were selected for study and randomly categorized into two groups as Group A and Group B each consisting of 20 subjects. For both groups Amapachana with Chitrakadi Vati, Sadhyosnehapana with Murchita Sarshapa Taila, Sarvanga Abhyanga with Murchita Tila Taila followed by Swedana. And Virechana was administered with Virechana Gulika. Than each group received two different Shamanoushadhi. So, the objective of the study is to establish the efficacy of Virechana along with Dashanga Guggulu and Virechana along with Shadushana Guggulu in the management of Medoroga.

Hyperhidrosis is an excessive production of sweat more than the physiological amount necessary to maintain thermal homeostasis. Primary focal hyperhidrosis is a disorder of unknown etiology, causing excessive, bilateral, symmetrical sweating on the soles of the foot is called plantar hyperhidrosis. The condition results not only in physical impairment, but also interferes with professional and social life. Although not life-threatening, it is very uncomfortable and cause embarrassment and psychological trauma. Iontophoresis is a helpful method, which includes the presentation of particles into the body tissue through the skin. The essential principle is to place the ion particles under an electrode with the same charge, i.e. negative ion placed under cathode and positive ion placed under anode. This complete process is also known as “technique of ion transfer” into the body tissues by using electrical current as a driving force. It is a comparative study with pre and post intervention. 30 subjects with plantar hyperhidrosis were selected based on the inclusion criteria. The study duration was for about 4 weeks30 subjects of age group between 15 – 25 years with idiopathic plantar hyperhidrosis of both male and female subjects were included in this study. Subjects with cardiac and respiratory disorders, pregnant or lactating, any cuts, abrasions, eczema or infections on plantar aspect, metal implants like pacemakers, Hypersensitivity to the active substance were excluded. The subjects were divided into 3 group Group A treated with iontophoresis using tap water alone. Group B were treated with iontophoresis using tap water along with 3%-5% of anticholinergic drug, glycopyrronium bromide solution. Group C were treated with iontophoresis using tap water along with 1% of indomethacin (NSAID). The result of this study shows that there were significant changes in outcome measures. On comparing Mean values of Group A, Group B & Group C on Minor test (Starch - Iodine Test) tap Water along with Glycopyrronium Bromide (Group B) shows 1.60 which has the Lower Mean value is effective than Group A and Group C .On comparing Mean values of Group A, Group B & Group C on Visual Analog Scale score tap Water along with Glycopyrronium Bromide (Group B) shows 3.80 which has the Lower Mean value is effective than Group A and Group C. On comparing Mean values of Group A, Group B & Group C on Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale tap Water along with Glycopyrronium Bromide (Group B) shows 1.40 which has the Lower Mean value is effective than Group A and Group C. On comparing all the three groups, Group B shows better result than Group C and Group A in outcome measure. This study concluded that Tap water along with glycopyrronium bromide reduces the excessive sweating and decrease the sweating symptoms in subjects with plantar hyperhidrosis.

Introduction: Sciatica is a medical condition of pain going down the leg through back, outside, or front of the leg from the lower back. It can be co-related with Grdrasi caused by both the aggravated Vata and Kapha two elements out of three basic elements of the body. Diagnostic method of disease is different and management also based on root cause of the disease. Sepalika  (Nyctanthes arbor-tristis.Linn.)(Oleacea) leaves are having anti inflammatory effect and analgesic effect. Aim and Objectives: To Evaluate the efficacy of Koshtha (GIT) (Gastro Intestinal tract) Shuddhi (Purification) in the management of Gridrasi w.s.r. to Sciatica. Material and methods: For this study, 20 patients were resisted and divided into two groups. Registered patients of group A and Group B were given Koshtha Shuddhi with Sepalika leaves decoction along with Sashapadi oil Abhyanga and Sand Potali fomentation and Sepalika leaves decoction along with Sashapadi oil Abhyanga and Sand Potali fomentation respectively for 2 weeks before meal. Patients of group A were given 120ml of Vasagudushi decoction with 5ml Eranada oil twice a day for purpose of Koshtha Shuddhi for 3 days. The effect of therapy was evaluated on the basis of changes of chief complaints and SLR test was taken for assessment parameter. Discussion: The statistically significant relief was showed on the chief complaints of Gridrasi (Sciatica) in the both the groups except Ruk (Pain) in group B. SLR of all the patient of present study were in between 30o- 70o in R/side LL (Lower Limb). SLR was changed of both the groups up to 70o-90o and 100% showed relief except 4 patients in the group B. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the Koshtha Shuddhi is showed comparatively better effect than management of Gridrasi (Sciatica) without carried out Koshtha Shuddhi.

The Impact

Introduction: Thyroid and parathyroid diseases are very common. Most of these cases are in women and may be amenable to surgery. The patient’s perception that these are not life-threatening diseases leads them to expect an excellent aesthetic result, since the surgical incision area is clearly visible. Objective: To evaluate different scarring outcomes using three different energy-based devices (Harmonic Focus®, Johnson & Johnson, New Brunswick, NJ; Thunderbeat Open Fine Jaw®, Olympus Medical, Tokyo, Japan; LigaSure Small Jaw®, Medtronic, Dublin, Ireland) and to determine the impact of post-thyroidectomy/parathyroidectomy scars on the patient’s quality of life. Methods: One hundred female patients who underwent thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy between September 2017 and September 2019 at the Endocrine and Minimally Invasive Surgery Department of Messina University Hospital were recruited. A retrospective analysis assessed the thickness of the cervical scar via ultrasound imaging, and the patient’s degree of satisfaction through the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) and the Body Dysmorphic Disorder Questionnaire (BDDQ). Results: The patients were divided into three groups according to the energy-device used: group A (LigaSure SJ (n=38), group B (Harmonic F, n=32) and group C (Thunderbeat OFJ, n=30). The three groups were homogeneous with respect to number of patients, age and surgical procedures. The best aesthetic result, which correlated with the lowest scar thickness, was observed in group A; these patients were more satisfied than those in the other two groups. Moreover, correlations between scar thickness and quantitative variables (such as age or BMI) were not found in any of the groups. Conclusions: Based on the data collected and our experience, the LigaSure Small Jaw® (Medtronic) seems to offer the best aesthetic outcome in patients who undergo transverse cervicotomy for thyroid and parathyroid diseases. However, further prospective studies involving a greater number of cases are needed.

Objective: There have been few reports addressing asymmetric bilateral cleft lip repair with contralateral lesser form defects. Two studies have described the thin medial tubercle as the most common remaining labial deformity. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the use of a foxtail-shaped vermilion flap to reconstruct the median tubercle in primary repair. Design: A blinded retrospective study of photography and chart review. Setting: Shinshu University Hospital, tertiary care. Private practice. Patients: Forty-nine patients with asymmetric bilateral cleft lip with lesser form defects treated using a primary “unilateral” repair by the senior author (S.Y.) between 2007 and 2017. Interventions: The foxtail-shaped vermilion flap was applied at the time of the primary nasolabial repair. This flap is similar to Noordhoff laterally based triangular vermilion flap but with modifications to the shape and length. The body of the flap is wider than the pedicle to add tissue to the center of the vermilion, and the length is sufficiently elongated to reach the lesser side. Main Outcome Measure: Lip shape was graded on a 4-point scale when patients were 1 year old. Results: Twenty-two patients were treated with the foxtail-shaped vermilion flap (group A) and 27 patients with Noordhoff triangular vermilion flap (group B). Group A had a better lip shape than group B ( P = .006). Conclusions: The foxtail-shaped vermilion flap is useful to reconstruct the median tubercle in asymmetric bilateral cleft lip repair with contralateral lesser form defects.

Abstract Background and Rational To date, only few studies have evaluated the benefits of anticoagulation in individuals with cirrhosis. An obvious goal of anticoagulation is PV recanalization: when cirrhotic individuals with PVT are treated with anticoagulation, complete recanalization has been described in 33–45% while partial PV recanalization is observed in 15–35% of cases. LDLT has emerged as the alternative life-saving treatment to DDLT. Over the past 2 decades, the number of LDLTs has steadily increased in many transplant centers, especially in Asia. The separation between occlusive and non-occlusive thrombosis is very important; in patients with partial PVT, post-transplant mortality outcomes are no different from non-PVT patients but it is significantly increased in patients with complete PVT. Patients and Methods This randomized prospective study will include 79 patients who will undergo LDLT in Ain Shams Specialized and Egypt Air hospitals, there are two groups of patients according to presence of portal vein thrombosis or not group A 39 patients of non PVT and group B 40 patient of PVT including different grades of PVT according Yerdel classification. Results In this study, there is no significant difference between groups regard age but Males were significantly associated with group B. In this study, there is no significant difference between groups regard CHILD and MELD scores and this findings. In our study there is no significantly difference between groups A and B regarding ICU stay, hospital stay and cell saver. In this study, comparisons of the PVT patients and controls showed no statistical significant differences regard HA thrombosis, post operative pulmonary embolism and biliary leak but PV rethrombosis is significantly associated with PVT patients, mortality sig associated with PVT patients. Conclusion The outcomes of patients with PVT who underwent LDLT are inferior to those without PVT. Patients with PVT has lower survival rate, higher postoperative PV rethrombosis.
