Examination was normal and investigations revealed a dilated common bile duct with elevated alkaline phosphatase. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography revealed a dilated biliary system without any evident cause. Patient was subjected to endoscopic retrograde cholangioancreatography and it demonstrated biliary dilatation with a linear filling defect in lower common bile duct, further sphinicterotomy was done and a live Fasciola hepatica was extracted using a biliary basket...

Proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD) is a rare anomaly with an estimated incidence of < 0.2/ 10,000 births. The aetiology of PFFD is unknown though various agents have been implicated including anoxia, ischaemia, mechanical or thermal injury. Herein is reported a case of a 22-year-old primigravida who delivered a baby with PFFD. This patient had developed high grade fever and had undergone ischiorectal abscess drainage at 7 weeks of gestation; maternal hyperthermia combined with anoxic injury might have been contributory factors in the causation of this disorder...

Hydatid disease is a common parasitic disease of liver. Rupture of aliver hydatid into the peritoneal cavity, either spontaneous or iatrogenic (during surgery) leads to widespread dissemination and is a difficult problem to manage. Surgical management along with long term antihelminthic treatment offers the only hope for such cases. A case of disseminated intra-abdominal hydatid disease and its management has been reported.

Current literature has suggested that sentinel lymph node biopsy may replace axillary dissection as the nodal staging procedure of choice in early breast cancer. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and accuracy of sentinel lymph node biopsy using methylene blue dye in predicting axillary nodal status in early breast cancer with clinically impalpable axillary lymph nodes. In the period between June 2005 and May 2009, 50 patients with early breast cancer and clinically impalpable axillary lymph nodes, underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy using methylene blue dye followed by completion of axillary dissection in the same setting after taking a written consent from the patients...

To study the effects of anti-oxidant on tear film parameters in patients with diabetes mellitus, a total of 100 patients of diabetes mellitus with defective Schirmer test and tear film break-up time were enrolled in this study and they were given vitamin C (1000 mg/day) and vitamin E (400 IU/day) for 30 days. Schirmer test and tear break-up, time were re-examined after 1 month. There was significant improvement in values for Schirmer test (p < 0.001) and tear break-up time. Oxidative stress has an influence on how diabetes mellitus affects various systems of body...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of biceps tendon sheath effusion detected on ultrasound as a diagnostic clue to rotator cuff pathology. Despite being the most common cause of shoulder pain in adults early sonographic changes of rotator cuff tendinopathy are easy to miss. A total of 31 patients out of whom 27 had unilateral shoulder pain and 4 had bilateral complaints under- went ultrasonographic examination of shoulder joint using high frequency linear array transducer. Any fluid surrounding the long head of biceps tendon was noted followed by a careful search for any associated sonographic abnormality involving the rotator cuff...

Epilepsy is a common paediatric neurologic disorder that is difficult to manage in a substantial portion of children, highlighting the continued need for more effective and better tolerated drugs. A multicentric study was conducted from August, 2011 to July, 2013 using levetiracetam (LEV) in newely diagnosed epilepsy in 122 young children of 1-5 years age group to find its role in practical scenario depending upon the knowledge from prior literature available. It has been demonstrated effective as adjunctive therapy as well as monotherapy for new-onset partial seizures and generalised tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS) but it acts better as adjunctive therapy than the monotherapy...

Post-traumatic seizure (PTS) is the development of recurrent seizures following head trauma and has a high clinical relevance. We tried to understand the epidemiology of PTS in a multicentric pro- spective study during the period May 2010 to April 2012. We included 320 patients excluding poor Glasgow coma scale (GCS) ie, <4 and history of previous epilepsy. At a median follow-up of one year, 49 patients (15.31%) developed PTS. Incidence of immediate, early and late onset seizures were 27 (8.4%), 14 (4.4%), 9 (2...
