Abstract: Steroids have been used for the treatment of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) since the 1950s, while their clinical efficacy remains poorly defined. To date, there is still no strong evidence proving or denying the efficacy of high-dose methylprednisolone, and further studies are still merited for issues regarding steroids for GBS. In this study patients of GBS are treated with steroid as IVIG could not be given and the patients showed significant improvement. Thus this study states successful use of steroid in GBS, a therapeutic challenge.

Abstract: Leprosy is a chronic disease caused by a bacillus Mycobacterium Leprae. Leprosy currently affects a quarter of a million people throughout the world with a majority of them reporting from India.1 Very few studies have been carried out in the world to know the oral health status and treatment needs in people affected with leprosy. Hence the present study was planned: 1) to assess oral health status in a cohort of leprosy affected persons (LAPs), 2) to assess their knowledge, attitude and oral hygiene practices.A cross-sectional study was carried out in a tertiary care Municipal Hospital for leprosy. Demographic details were collected and a detailed oral examination was performed. Oral hygiene practices and clinical oral examination using natural light, oral hygiene aids, oral habits, decayed missing.......

Abstract: Intestinal obstruction in the newborn might be due to atresia, stenosis, annular pancreas, malrotations, duplication cysts, meconium ileus, meconium plug syndromes, neonatal small left colon syndrome, Hirschsprung's disease, neoplasias, trauma, and some other rare causes. Mesenteric cysts are rare intra-abdominal benign tumors without any characteristic clinical findings with an incidence of 1 per 100,000 up to 1 per 250,000 hospital admission. They have an identical pathogenesis, but may have different histopathological derivation and structures.Treatment of mesenteric cyst is indicated if it becomes symptomatic as a result of the enlargement of the cyst or complications.We outline the presentation, management and histological findings of 10 neonates who presented to this hospital from 2016–2017.Out of the 10, 3 were diagnosed antenatally and......

Abstract: Dental radiology have completely revolutionized the field of dentistry. For successful implant treatment, a presurgical treatment planning is most important. For this, diagnostic imaging plays a vital role. There are various imaging modalities available to aid in placing the implant in an appropriate location with relative ease and also get a predictable outcome. The various modalities described are intraoral radiography, cephalometric radiography, panoramic radiography, conventional tomography, computed tomography, cone-beam CT and magnetic resonance imaging. The choice of which imaging modality to use along with when to image, is dependent on a number of factors including determination of quality and quantity of bone to establish the most favorable position of implant placement...........
