COMBINED SEVERE AORTIC AND PULMONARY VALVULAR STENOSIS IN A CHILD AND ITS MANAGEMENT: A CASE REPORT

Combined congenital aortic and pulmonary valvular stenosis is a rare congenital heart defect. Prevalence of severe combined valvular stenosis of aortic and pulmonary valve accounts about 0.01% and also has association with many syndromes. This combination presents unusual diagnostic as well as management problems. Apart from a few case reports, there is little in the literature on the combined stenosis of both semilunar valves and its management. We present this rare combination in a 9 year old boy which was promptly managed with the balloon valvoplasty without any complications in the same setting under local anesthesia with sedation.

A rare combination of post-ductal coarctation of the aorta and adjunct tortuous aneurysm: a neonate with Posterior fossa anomalies, Haemangiomas of the head and neck, Arterial, Cardiovascular, and Eye anomalies and ventral developmental defect syndrome

A 4-day-old girl with Posterior fossa anomalies, Haemangiomas of the head and neck, Arterial, Cardiovascular, and Eye anomalies and ventral developmental defect syndrome comprising a facial haemangioma, aortic coarctation at the aortic arch, torturous aortic aneurysm distal to coarctation, and ductus arteriosus originating proximal to the coarctation is presented. The aortic arch was successfully reconstructed without cardiopulmonary bypass, and she is currently doing well after 4 years and 8 months.

New Perspectives on Translation: Translating Odisha by Paul St-Pierre

Translating Odisha (2019) by Prof. Paul St-Pierre fetches a wide range of new perspectives on translation and the act of translating with specific reference to translations from and to Odia. Being a Professor of Linguistics and Translation Studies, and at the same time a prolific translator, St-Pierre produces a rare combination of theory and application. He invokes and applies translation theories even as he theorises the experience of translating. Through three decades of association with Odia literature and its historiography and through translations with collaborators, St-Pierre has become an authority on translation studies in Odisha. His recent book is mostly a compilation of the articles that he has published in different journals of international repute, papers that he has presented in conferences and seminars, and a few short occasional pieces.
