Abstract: Aim: To assess the salivary and plaque pH after consumption of the oral rehydration solution by different methods. Methods: Most widely used and most frequently prescribed brand of ORS was taken as the test drink in the study. Thirty six healthy subjects aged 20-26 years who satisfied the inclusion criteria were selected and were divided into three groups (Group A - rinsing, Group B - glass, Group C - straw) by lottery method. Saliva and dental plaque were collected after consuming the drink in one, five, ten, twenty, and thirty minute intervals. The salivary and plaque pH was assessed by digital pH meter. ANOVA and post hoc Tukey's test were used for statistical analysis using SPSS 20.0 version.

Abstract: Introduction: Episiotomy wound haematoma extending into paravaginal soft tissue is a serious and not uncommon obstetric complication. It is a formidable contributor to puerperal morbidity with delayed convalescence. Aims and Objectives: 1. Early recognition and usage of corrugated rubber drain in the management of episiotomy wound haematoma. 2.To assess the healing of episiotomy wound haematoma thus treated by REEDA(Redness, Odema, Ecchymosis, Discharge,Approximation) scale in postpartum period

Abstract: We present a case of 21yrs male presented to opd for defective vision left eye. On examination, pulsatile swelling noted over lateral aspect of right eye with esotropia, left eye normal. The swelling was ignored since birth, pulsatile with defect over the temporal bone right side. Vision in right eye – no perception of light, left eye 6/18 ,no improvement with pin hole. Ultrasound, colour Doppler, CT & CECT findings have confirmed the presence of periocular AV malformation present over the lateral aspect of right eye with normal left eye. The case was diagnosed as unilateral periocular AV malformation causing esotropia in the right eye

Abstract: This study is taken up to compare the results of DHS and PFN in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures of hip. To determine the rate of union, complications, operative risks and functional outcomes in intertrochanteric fractures treated with DHS and PFN.To determine the effectiveness of PFN in comparison to DHS in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures of hip. All fifty consecutive patients were randomized control study into two treatment of Group A for Dynamic hip Screw fixation and Group B for Proximal femoral nailing. According to Boyd and Griffin classification, type I is 6, type II is 27, type III is 9, type IV is 8. Mean timing of Surgery after the fracture is 8.92 days in dynamic hip screw and 6.68 days in proximal femoral nail.
