Abstract: Tuberculosis is known to have impacted people since thousands of years. 1 India has a significantly high burden of TB which has been greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. 2 While tuberculosis can affect any organ, it most commonly involves the lung parenchyma. Only 10%–14% of all cases of tuberculosis are reported to be extrapulmonary. 3 Additionally, skeletal infections make up a proportion of about 1 to 5% within the spectrum of tuberculosis. The primary locations affected are often the vertebral column.......

Abstract: Ankyloblepheron filiforme adnatum(AFA) is a rare congenital anomaly of the eyelids which is usually isolated but can be associated with other systemic abnormalities. Timely separation of the lids is important to prevent amblyopia. We report a case of a 7 years old boy with bilateral AFA with no systemic associations from North Eastern India which was surgically corrected.

Abstract: In India, Cow is considered auspicious and is worshipped as the "Mother of all Gods". Cow-dung has spiritual significance and used as a cleansing agent due to its germicidal properties, mosquito repellent and as a bio-gas. Due to unavailability of natural cow dung due to modernization, synthetic cow dung powder is being prepared which is known as "Saani powder" in southern parts of India. Being a highly toxic compound it is known to cause multi-organ failure and death eventually. It has become a common cause of suicidal poisoning among rural people as it is easily available......

Abstract: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common cause of sudden cardiac arrest, and heart failure often complicates the prognosis in survivors. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has improved survival and quality of life in patients with CAD & HF. However, the decision to perform CABG in an arrest survival patient remains a complex clinical challenge due to the underlying myocardial damage and altered hemodynamics. Our patient, a 50-year-old cardiac arrest survival normotensive, nondiabetic lady with a positive family history of ischemic heart disease (IHD) with the diagnosis......

Abstract: Background:Neonatal indirect hyperbilirubinemia remains a common clinical challenge, particularly in preterm and term infants requiring phototherapy. Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) has been suggested as a potential adjunct to standard phototherapy in reducing bilirubin levels. However, the efficacy of UDCA in this context remains inadequately explored. Aim of the study: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Ursodeoxycholic Acid in reducing neonatal indirect hyperbilirubinemia in infants undergoing phototherapy. Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted at East West Medical..........
